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

Both common residential backsets work. The La Jolla is set up for a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and the edge bore is 1 inch. Those are the two standard backsets on a prepped entry door, so an existing bored door will normally take it without redrilling the edge. Check the edge bore diameter on the old latch before you pull it, since a smaller edge bore has to be opened up to 1 inch.

Single cylinder is what this La Jolla set is. Key on the outside, thumbturn on the inside, so the deadbolt throws either way. That is the right choice for a solid door. If the door has glass in it or a sidelite within arm's reach of the thumbturn, some jurisdictions push you to a double cylinder, which needs a key on both sides and has no interior thumbturn to reach through and flip. Decide that before ordering, because it is a different lock, not an option on this one.

Yes. Keying is a selection at order time, keyed alike or keyed different, and there is a field for a key code if you are matching an existing set. The cylinder is a C keyway. Keyed alike only works across locks sharing that keyway, so if the back door is on a different keyway you will not get one key for both without rekeying that one.

Complete set, both halves. The La Jolla handleset includes the exterior handle with the keyed cylinder and the interior trim with the thumbturn and your chosen knob or lever. Worth checking against alternatives: the Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview single cylinder handlesets are sold as exterior only, so those need interior trim ordered separately.

No. The Emtek 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function unit, as are the Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, and 3005 Melrose. Dummy handlesets are surface-mounted pulls with no latch, cylinder, or deadbolt behind them, used on inactive or second leaves of a pair. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset with a key outside and a thumbturn inside operating the deadbolt. Use the Emtek dummies only on the inactive leaf, and pair them with a keyed unit on the leaf that actually secures.

The Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador single cylinder handleset with SmartKey is a Grade 3 entrance-function unit for 1-3/4 inch doors, as is the 687AMD SMC version with the SC1 keyway and the 687BW Belleview. All three are exterior-only trim. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series is Grade 2 entrance function. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and ships with both the interior and the exterior for a complete entrance, so it does not need a separate inside trim order the way the exterior-only Kwikset 687 units do.

It is a residential handleset, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. That is fine for apartments, condo entries and single family front doors. For a commercial opening with real traffic or a fire rated door, this is not the part; you want a commercial mortise or cylindrical lock instead.

Four decisions. Finish, from Satin Brass PVD (044), Polished Nickel PVD (055), Venetian Bronze (112), Satin Nickel (150), Satin Black (190) or Polished Chrome (260). Inside trim style, either the Contemporary knob, the square lever or the tube lever. Rose shape, either the contemporary five inch, round or square rose. And door thickness, which is required. Keying and a key code are optional entries.

Yes, split finish is available. By default the interior trim comes in the same finish as the exterior, so if you want, say, Satin Black outside and Polished Nickel inside, you have to name both finishes in the split finish field when ordering. Leave it blank and you get a matched pair.

For a straight single cylinder keyed entry handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Both are keyed entry like the La Jolla. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale is the one to look at for a genuinely thick door, since it lists 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches without a separate kit. Where the La Jolla differs is the option depth: six finishes, three inside trim styles and three rose shapes.

Three options change the credential rather than the trim. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt on SmartKey, fitting 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free Wi-Fi touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim connected by August over the same thickness range. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla stays mechanical: C-keyway cylinder outside, thumbturn inside. Note that the Yale BYRD256 CBARX pairs its touchscreen deadbolt with a passage handleset, so the gripset itself does not latch.

The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest handleset with Hudson knob is a single cylinder unit in the Premiere Essentials line covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset comes as a fixed satin nickel entry unit for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both are single-finish, single-trim items you order as one part. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is configured instead: six finishes from satin brass PVD to satin black, three inside trims, three rose shapes, and keyed alike or keyed different with an optional key code, which is what you want when a fleet of doors has to match an existing keyway.

The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function J Series unit, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For an inactive leaf with no latch at all, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is keyed, with a single cylinder outside, so it is the choice only where the door has to lock with a key.

It solves a different opening. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, JI Series, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Its lever is passage function and the key work sits in the separate deadbolt, with the two tied together so one motion retracts both, which is the multi-family and code-driven egress pattern. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is a bored lockset gripset with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1 inch edge bore, keyed single cylinder with the thumbturn inside. Confirm which door prep you already have before swapping between the two.

The La Jolla is contemporary in design, and the inside trim can be a contemporary knob, a square lever or a tube lever on a five inch, round or square contemporary rose. It is part of Baldwin's Reserve series, so the finishes line up across that collection if you are standardizing a building or a whole house on one look. Pick the square rose and square lever if the rest of the openings are squared off, the round rose if they are not.

Deltana offers four entry handlesets in solid brass: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston are all listed as entry function, and the 810871 Montego covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Each is a distinct series, so the difference between them is the escutcheon and grip styling rather than the function. The Baldwin Reserve La Jolla is the contemporary counterpart, with a contemporary product design and a choice of contemporary five inch, round, or square rose.
