Baldwin Reserve SmartKey Columbus Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Traditional Rose

The Columbus starts at 1-3/4 inches, so a thinner slab needs a different set. The Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches and is a Grade 2 keyed entry handleset, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington in satin nickel spans the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. The Deltana 810871 Montego runs 1-3/8 to 2 inches if you want solid brass in that thickness band.

Both common backsets are covered, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so it drops onto either of the two standard residential prep dimensions without redrilling the face bore. Edge bore is 1 inch. If you are replacing an older handleset, measure from the door edge to the center of the bore: 2-3/8 is typical on interior-style prep, 2-3/4 on most exterior entry doors.

Both halves ship together, exterior handle with keyed cylinder and the interior side with thumbturn, so it is a complete entrance set out of the box. You pick the inside knob or lever separately as part of the configuration, choosing from Curve, Decorative or Federal levers in left or right hand, or Ellipse, Round or Traditional knobs. Several competing single cylinder handlesets are sold exterior-only, like the Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview, where the inside trim is a separate purchase.

Only if you choose a lever for the inside. The Curve, Decorative and Federal levers are each offered in a left handed and a right handed version, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side it is hinged. The three knob options, Ellipse, Round and Traditional, are non-handed and sidestep the question entirely. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door.

It uses Baldwin's C-keyway cylinder with SmartKey, and you can order multiple units keyed alike or keyed different. There is also a key code field if you need it cut to an existing code you already have on file. SmartKey means the cylinder can be rekeyed by the homeowner to a key they already carry, which is the usual route for matching an existing bitting without a locksmith visit.

No. It is a residential product, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. For a commercial opening you want a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock, not a residential handleset. It is a reasonable fit for single family, multi-family unit entry doors and hospitality guest doors where a Grade 2 handleset is acceptable.

No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function unit, as are the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan. A dummy handleset is a pull only - no latch, no cylinder, no locking. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with a key on the exterior and a thumbturn on the interior operating the deadbolt. Dummy handlesets are used on the inactive leaf of a double door or on a door that latches by other means; they will not secure an entrance.

The biggest difference is what ships in the box. The Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador single cylinder handleset with SmartKey is an exterior-only unit - you supply or reuse the interior trim. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus includes both the interior and the exterior for a complete entrance, and the interior trim is selectable across Curve, Decorative and Federal levers and Ellipse, Round and Traditional knobs, on Traditional Arch, Traditional Round or Traditional Square rose. On rating, the Kwikset 687AMD is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/4 inch doors, while the Baldwin Reserve Columbus is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview and the 687AMD SMC with SC1 keyway are the same exterior-only, Grade 3 arrangement in different trim.

The Columbus is a single cylinder set: key outside, thumbturn inside. That is the right choice on a solid door. Where there is glass in or beside the door, a thumbturn is reachable by anyone who breaks the glass, and a double cylinder set, keyed on both faces, is the usual specification instead. Check your local code first, since some jurisdictions restrict double cylinder deadbolts on egress doors.

Yes. By default the interior trim ships in the same finish as the exterior, but a split finish can be requested and there is a field to name the two finishes you want. That is how you keep a dark exterior, say Satin Black or Venetian Bronze, on the street side while matching Polished Nickel or Satin Nickel interior hardware inside the house. Eight finishes are offered: Polished Brass PVD, Satin Brass PVD, Polished Nickel PVD, Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Matte Antique Nickel, Satin Black and Polished Chrome.

For thicker doors, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry set rated 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches. If you would rather not commit to a backset at the order stage, Sure-Loc builds its handlesets with an adjustable backset, including the Aspen AN507 and Madison MA507 keyed entry sets and the Alta tubular and Coral sets. The Baldwin covers 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset, which handles standard prep without an adjustable mechanism.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus uses a keyed C-keyway cylinder on the exterior and a thumbturn inside. For keypad entry with a handleset pull, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, RCAL latch and RCS strike, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD226CBARX is the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version of the same handleset over the same thickness range. If you want no key cylinder at all, the Yale BYRD256 CBARX is a key free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus handles either standard backset, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, with a 1 inch edge bore. If you prefer a unit described as adjustable backset, the Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry handleset has an adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Madison MA507 keyed entry handleset does as well. The Sure-Loc Alta AT507 tubular handleset and Coral CR507 handleset are also adjustable backset units in the same family of trim styles.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is keyed, single cylinder, with an entry lock function. For a handleset opening that does not take a key, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function unit, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever are dummy function pulls for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, meaning they do not latch at all.

They are different installs. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - the lever and deadbolt are joined so one motion retracts both, and the lever itself is passage function with the security coming from the deadbolt. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a bored handleset: a gripped exterior pull with a keyed single cylinder over an interior thumbturn, on a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch edge bore. Interconnected locks are common in multi-family corridors for egress; a handleset is the decorative front entrance form.

They serve the same opening but differ in how they are configured. The Deltana 803871B Hanover is a solid brass entry function handleset, and Deltana also offers the 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston as solid brass entry handlesets. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset on a C-keyway with a traditional design, and it is ordered with the interior trim and rose selected separately - Traditional Arch, Traditional Round or Traditional Square rose - along with finish across eight options including Polished Brass PVD, Satin Brass PVD and Venetian Bronze. The Deltana units are specified as a series rather than built up from trim selections.
