Deltana PRHHL Highgate Handleset with Zinc Livingston Lever, Entry

The Highgate handleset is built for a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the shorter of the two standard residential backsets (the other is 2-3/4). Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore. If your prep is 2-3/8 on a 1-3/8 inch door, the PRHHL lands on the existing holes; if it is 2-3/4, this is not your part.

Single cylinder. The Highgate PRHHL keys from the outside only; inside you get a thumbturn on the deadbolt and the Livingston lever for the latch. That is the usual choice for a door with no glass near the lock. If you need key operation from both sides, a double cylinder trim such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the different arrangement, though it is a 1-3/4 inch door product.

Tubular. The Highgate PRHHL is a bored lockset, so it installs in standard round bores rather than a routed mortise pocket in the door edge. That matters when you are replacing an existing set: mortise handlesets like the Emtek 3002 Memphis or the Baldwin Estates 6542 trim need a mortise body pocket, and you cannot swap one for the other without reworking the door.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate is an entry-function tubular handleset with a lever, fitted to a 1-3/8 inch door with a 2-3/8 inch backset. If you need a lever handleset that covers the same thin door, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever spans 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and is a Grade 2 entrance function, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset also spans 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch in an entry function. Both cover the 1-3/8 inch door the Highgate is built for, and the Schlage and Pamex ranges extend up to 1-3/4 inch if the openings on the job vary in thickness.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate is a keyed entry handleset with a single cylinder deadbolt. Several handlesets that look similar on the door are dummy function and have no latch or bolt at all: the Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise handlesets are all dummy function, as are the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever. Those are for inactive or fixed door leaves. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function, so it operates the door but takes no key. If the opening has to lock with a key, none of those substitute for the Highgate.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate is Kwikset keyway compatible, so it can be keyed into an existing Kwikset system. Among the alternatives, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador is offered in a SmartKey version and in an SC1 keyway SmartKey version, and the 687BW Belleview comes with SmartKey, so a Kwikset-keyed building has to watch which keyway a given part number carries. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison is an F Series keyed entry handleset. Confirm the keyway on each part number before you order a mixed set, since a handleset that will not accept your key defeats the point of the standardization.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate is a single cylinder entry handleset, keyed from the exterior with a thumbturn inside. For a double cylinder opening, typically a door with glass beside or within it where an inside thumbturn can be reached, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the double cylinder counterpart to the 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim, both for 1-3/4 inch doors and entrance function. Note the Baldwin 6542 is mortise trim, so the door needs a mortise pocket, while the Highgate is a tubular lock.

The escutcheon and grip are solid brass; the Livingston lever itself is zinc. So the exterior plate is brass through the section, but do not expect the lever casting to match it in material. Brass is what carries the finish, which is why the exterior of the set holds up on a weather-exposed opening.

The deadbolt is a residential Grade 2, and the set as a whole is a residential product, not a commercial one. Grade 2 is the mid tier for residential use and is a normal spec for a single family home or a low traffic unit front door. For a multi-family entry that sees heavy daily use, a landlord standardizing a building is usually better served by a commercial bored lockset than by a decorative residential handleset.

The Highgate PRHHL pairs the exterior grip with a Livingston lever on the interior, so no twisting grip is needed to operate the latch from inside. Most competing handlesets in this class come with a knob instead, for example the Baldwin Wesley with Alcott knob or the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob. If you want a lever from another brand, the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever is the equivalent.

The deadbolt comes with it. The Highgate PRHHL is a complete keyed entry handleset: exterior grip with cylinder, residential Grade 2 deadbolt, and the interior Livingston lever, sold each. You are not buying exterior trim only, unlike the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets, which are exterior only.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate is a keyed single cylinder handleset. If the tenants or crews rotating through the door would be better served by a code, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever trim pairs with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and fits 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226 Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and comes as a standalone unit or as a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth unit, and the BYRD256 Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset is Wi-Fi over the same thickness range. Those electronic units need the thicker door; the Highgate is the mechanical answer on a 1-3/8 inch slab.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate pairs its handleset with a zinc Livingston lever. For a knob interior in a keyed single cylinder handleset, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset comes with the Hudson knob and fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder keyed entry handleset comes with the Eleganti knob for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with the Alcott knob and with the Carnaby knob, both entrance function. Lever versus knob is the grip decision; on ADA-governed openings the lever is the one that turns without grasping.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate carries a residential Grade 2 deadbolt and is built in solid brass with a zinc lever. The Master Lock HDLB series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona are Grade 2 as well. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3. If you are standardizing a portfolio of units to one deadbolt grade, the Deltana, Master Lock and Schlage options sit at the same Grade 2 mark.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate is a one-piece entry handleset with the deadbolt integrated into the escutcheon. If the opening calls for an interconnected trim instead, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock pairs a passage function with a keyed deadbolt and a Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. That is a different look and prep than a full-height handleset, so check the existing bore pattern on the door before switching.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate is specified for a 1-3/8 inch door. For thicker slabs, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226 Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob spans 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, which brackets both the thin door the Highgate fits and a heavier one.

Four finishes: oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, polished chrome, and polished brass. That is the full range for the Highgate PRHHL. Oil rubbed bronze is a living finish that will change with handling and weather, so if you are matching several doors in one building order them all at once and in the same finish.

The Deltana PRHHL Highgate handleset comes in oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, polished chrome and polished brass, in solid brass with a zinc lever. If a run of doors needs one look, staying within the Highgate across those four finishes keeps the exterior consistent. Where a door needs a different function than entry, the Emtek brass mortise handlesets in the Memphis, Hamilton, Melrose and Manhattan styles are dummy trim and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest is a dummy with a lever, so an inactive leaf can carry matching-looking trim while the active leaf carries the keyed Highgate.
