Kwikset 898HYH Henley Handle Only; No Deadbolt with RCAL Latch and RCS Strike

The 898HYH Henley is a dummy handleset, so the handle does not operate a lock or a deadbolt. It's the exterior pack only, meant to give a door the look of a full entry handleset while security comes from something else on the opening. If you need the door to actually lock, this is the wrong part.

The latch supplied with the Henley handleset has an adjustable backset covering 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, which are the two standard residential bore-to-edge dimensions, so it drops into standard door prep without redrilling. The latch faceplate is a round corner style, so it suits a door edge already mortised with a round corner cutout.

The Kwikset 898HYH Henley is a dummy handle with no deadbolt, so it will not secure an opening. For a keyed exterior door, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance-function set with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset is an entry-function set in a satin nickel finish with the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. For thicker doors, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder set rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

The Kwikset 898HYH Henley is a dummy function handleset - a non-functioning exterior handle with no deadbolt. Direct dummy-function peers include the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob, both of which carry a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Emtek 3002 Memphis Brass Mortise Entrance Handleset, also a dummy. The Weslock pair pairs the handle with an interior knob or lever; the Emtek 3002 is a brass mortise-style handleset in the Memphis series.

The Kwikset 898HYH Henley is a dummy handle in a traditional style, supplied as an exterior pack with a round corner faceplate latch and no deadbolt, in satin nickel and matte black. If you want a non-keyed handleset that still operates the door, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry function set, Grade 2, with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. That distinction matters: the 898HYH does not retract a latch, while the JE285 does.

The Kwikset 898HYH Henley does not include a deadbolt. For a combined assembly, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series. On the electronic side, the Yale BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

A dummy handleset is a fixed pull with no latch mechanism driven by the handle. Typical use is the inactive leaf of a double door, or a door where a deadbolt above carries the security and the handleset is there for the grip and the appearance. The Henley 898HYH is that kind of part, and it still ships with an RCAL latch and RCS strike for the door itself.

Kwikset lists the Henley 898HYH as residential hardware in a traditional style. For openings where a graded lock is specified, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona handlesets are Grade 2, as is the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset.

Thicker doors need a handleset rated for them. Weslock's 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob and the 2815 Hillcrest dummy both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, as does the Deltana 810871 Montego. For 1-3/4 inch up to 2-1/4 inch, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is the one to look at.

They are not interchangeable. The Kwikset 898HYH Henley is a dummy handle with no deadbolt. The Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Alcott Knob and the Wesley Handleset x Carnaby Knob are entrance-function sets, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont trim comes in single cylinder and double cylinder entry mortise versions, both listed for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Estates 6542 is mortise trim, so it goes on a door prepped for a mortise lock body rather than a bored door prep.

For thicker slabs, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder set listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version also cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those Yale sets bring a keypad deadbolt with them, where the Kwikset 898HYH Henley is a dummy handle with the deadbolt not included.

For solid brass exterior handlesets, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass sets in their respective series, plus the 810871 Montego with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Emtek's brass mortise handlesets come as dummy function in the 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan series, which matches the dummy function of the Kwikset 898HYH Henley if you are dressing inactive leaves alongside operating doors.

Both are dummy function. The Kwikset 898HYH Henley is a residential exterior pack with a round corner faceplate latch and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset, installed with a screwdriver, in satin nickel and matte black. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan are brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function, each its own design series. The mortise form factor means the door prep differs from a standard bored preparation.

A screwdriver is all it takes. The Henley 898HYH goes on in a few minutes because there's no cylinder or deadbolt to align, just the exterior handle assembly, the adjustable latch set to your 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and the strike.

Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the Henley 898HYH, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That's a factor for high-touch openings in rentals and shared entrances.

That combination is normally bought as a matched set rather than mixed. Yale Real Living sells the Assure touchscreen deadbolt already paired with a Ridgefield handleset: the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the BYRD226NRRX is standalone with no network, and the BYRD256 CBARX is key-free with a passage handleset and trim. Those three cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
