Baldwin Reserve SmartKey La Jolla Double Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Contemporary Rose

Double cylinder means a key is needed to unlock from both the outside and the inside, so there is no thumbturn on the interior. That keeps someone from breaking the sidelight glass and reaching in to turn the lock, but it also means anyone inside needs a key to get out. Some local codes restrict double cylinder locks on required egress doors, so check your local code before installing. If free egress is required, a single cylinder version with an interior thumbturn is the right call.

The La Jolla handleset works with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard residential bores, so it drops onto most existing prepped doors. The edge bore is 1 inch. Confirm your door edge is bored 1 inch and your cross bore centerline sits at 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches from the door edge.

It ships on Baldwin's 5-pin C-Keyway as standard, and you can order it keyed alike or keyed different. If you already have Baldwin C-keyway cylinders on the property, ask for keyed alike and supply the key code so the new handleset runs on the same key. Locks on a different keyway (a Kwikset SC1 or Schlage C, for example) will not key with it without changing cylinders.

Kwikset offers SmartKey handleset exteriors including the 687AMD SMT Amador and the 687BW SMT Belleview, both Grade 3 entrance handlesets for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the 687AMD SMC Amador in the SC1 keyway. Those Kwikset units are exterior-only trim, whereas the Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is supplied with interior trim in the same finish as the exterior and uses the Baldwin C-Keyway.

The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla handleset is a double cylinder keyed entry, meaning a key is required to retract the bolt from the interior as well as the exterior. Where a thumbturn interior is required instead, single cylinder keyed entry handlesets include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever, a Grade 2 entrance handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob, a single cylinder handleset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick.

No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are dummy function, so they have no latch or cylinder and are pull trim only. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is a keyed entry bored handleset with a double cylinder, so it is not interchangeable with those.

Three interior options: a Contemporary knob, a Square lever, or a Tube lever. You also choose the rose the interior trim mounts on, in Contemporary Five Inch, Contemporary Round, or Contemporary Square. Levers are the easier grip for wet hands or accessibility, the knob keeps a tighter look. Both the trim style and the rose are separate selections from the finish.

Six finishes: 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 112 Venetian Bronze, 150 Satin Nickel, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. The interior trim comes in the same finish as the exterior by default. If you want the inside to match interior hardware and the outside to match the exterior package, note the two finishes you want as a split finish when ordering.

It is a residential handleset, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. That is fine for an apartment unit entry or a single family front door, but a high traffic commercial opening should be specified with Grade 1 commercial hardware instead.

The La Jolla is a keyed entry handleset. For non-keyed openings, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and full dummy handlesets include the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob, both for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

The La Jolla is mechanical, keyed on both faces of the door. Electronic handleset combinations include the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever and contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the BYRD226NRRX Ridgefield version with a standalone touchscreen deadbolt in the same thickness range.

Sure-Loc handlesets are supplied with an adjustable backset, including the Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry, the Madison MA507 keyed entry, the Alta AT507 tubular handleset and the Coral CR507. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is prepped for a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch edge bore.

They solve different openings. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino lever is a passage function interconnected lock with a keyed deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so the lever always turns freely and security comes from the separate deadbolt. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is an entry function handleset with a gripped exterior handle and a cylinder on both the inside and outside.

The Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in entrance function. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security and is a double cylinder entry handleset with a 5-pin Baldwin C-Keyway, so the interior also takes a key rather than a thumbturn.

The La Jolla is a keyed entry handleset, not a dummy. For a non-latching decorative leaf, Emtek's brass mortise entrance handlesets in Memphis, Hamilton, Melrose and Manhattan are dummy function, and Weslock offers the 2815 Hillcrest and 6695 Belmont as dummy handlesets.

The La Jolla is a contemporary design, offered with contemporary round, square and five inch roses. For a traditional appearance in an entry function handleset, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston solid brass entry handlesets, along with the 810871 Montego handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

Key-free electronic options include the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are code entry with no cylinder, while the Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is keyed on both faces in the Baldwin C-Keyway, so the two cannot be keyed alike.
