Schlage Residential FE285 CAM 716 VLA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage FE285 Camelot handleset come with a keyed lock, or do I need a separate deadbolt?
The FE285 Camelot is a lower half handleset only, non-keyed. There is no cylinder in it. The thumbpiece retracts the latch from outside and the inside Avila lever retracts it as well, so the handle itself gives you no locking security. It is built to pair with a Schlage deadbolt, including electronic deadbolts, mounted above it to make the complete front entry set. If you want a handleset with its own key cylinder in the grip, this is not it.
2) Will the FE285 handleset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The FE285 covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which takes in older interior-weight slabs as well as standard exterior doors. That is a wider range than several residential handlesets, many of which are 1-3/4 inch only.
3) My door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset. Do I have to order a different FE285?
No. The latch shipped with the FE285 is a dual-option spring latch that adjusts to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so one part covers both preps. It also comes with a circular drive-in option, useful when the door edge has no mortised faceplate cutout. The faceplate is 1 x 2-1/4 inches with 1/4 inch radius corners.
4) Is there a handleset that comes with the electronic keypad deadbolt already in the set, instead of buying the FE285 and a deadbolt separately?
Yes. The FE285 Camelot is the lower half only and is meant to be combined with an electronic deadbolt. If you would rather buy one packaged set, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset ships with a Halifax lever interior trim and a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX pairs a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset. The Yale BYRD226CBARX is the same Ridgefield handleset with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt.
5) What is a good alternative to the Schlage FE285 Camelot handleset if the entry door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The FE285 Camelot handleset with Avila lever is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a thicker slab needs a different family. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob and the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the slab at the bore before choosing.
6) The FE285 has no key cylinder in the handleset. What should I order instead if I want the key in the grip rather than a separate deadbolt?
The FE285 Camelot with Avila lever is a non-keyed entrance lower half intended to combine with a deadbolt for the complete front entry set. If you want the cylinder in the handleset itself, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder keyed entry handleset, the Kwikset 687BW Belleview single cylinder keyed entry handleset, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset, and the Sure-Loc AN507 Aspen single cylinder keyed entry handleset are all keyed handleset options.
7) Do the Emtek 3002 Memphis and Weslock 2815 Hillcrest work as substitutes for the FE285 Camelot handleset?
No, and this is a common mix-up. The FE285 Camelot with Avila lever is an entrance function unit whose latch is retracted by the thumbpiece from outside or the inside lever. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are dummy function, as is the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob. Dummy units are surface-mounted pulls with no latch action and belong on the inactive leaf of a pair, not on a working entry door.
8) What other handleset carries a Grade 2 rating like the Schlage FE285?
The FE285 Camelot with Avila lever is Grade 2. Among comparable residential handlesets, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset from the HDLB Series is also Grade 2, while the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exterior handlesets are Grade 3. If a spec calls out Grade 2 for the entry, the Schlage and the Master Lock meet it.
9) Do I have to worry about handing when ordering the FE285 Camelot handleset?
No. The FE285 is non-handed, so one part works on a left or right hand door. The thumbpiece grip and Avila lever reverse during installation rather than being ordered by hand.
10) Is the Schlage FE285 tough enough for apartment or rental turnover use?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and ANSI/BHMA A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, which is the top residential tier. Construction is zinc and steel. That combination is what most multi-family operators standardize on for unit entry doors where the actual security is carried by the deadbolt above it.
11) What is a single-cylinder keyed handleset alternative if I don't want a separate deadbolt above the grip?
Options that key in the handleset itself include the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel, which matches the FE285 on door range at 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Sure-Loc Madison keyed entry handleset with adjustable backset. On the Kwikset side, the 687 Amador single cylinder handleset is a Grade 3 exterior-only trim for 1-3/4 inch doors and is offered with SmartKey in either SC1 or the standard keyway.
12) What tools and door prep do I need to install the Schlage FE285 handleset?
A screwdriver. Schlage builds the F Series around a three-step install, and the FE285 uses standard tubular prep: the 2-1/8 inch cross bore for the handleset, a 1 inch edge bore for the latch, and either a mortised faceplate cutout or a drive-in collar since both latch styles are in the box. Door thickness must be between 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inches, and backset can be either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4.
13) Can I use the Schlage FE285 on a fire-rated apartment entry door?
Schlage publishes UL Listing for 3-hour fire doors on specific F Series functions, namely F10, F40 (CSV only), F51A and F80. The FE285 is not one of those function codes, so treat it as non-rated trim and specify a listed function for a rated opening.
14) Which handleset matches the FE285 door thickness range most closely?
The Schlage FE285 Camelot with Avila lever fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel carries the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, which makes it the closest match on slab thickness, with the difference being that the Pamex is a keyed single cylinder unit while the FE285 is non-keyed.
15) The FE285 fits a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset. Are there other handlesets that handle both backsets?
The FE285 Camelot ships with dual backset latches that fit either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Sure-Loc offers several handlesets with an adjustable backset for the same flexibility: the AN507 Aspen single cylinder keyed entry, the AT507 Alta tubular, the CR507 Coral, and the MA507 Madison keyed entry. All of those are handleset function, so the backset prep on an existing door will accept any of them.
16) Can I use Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont trim in place of the Schlage FE285 handleset?
Not interchangeably. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim, offered in single cylinder and double cylinder versions, and it is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors and a mortise lock body case in the door edge. The Schlage FE285 Camelot with Avila lever is a tubular handleset with a spring latch and a 2-1/4 inch by 1-5/8 inch full lip radius strike, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Swapping between them means changing the door prep entirely.
17) I want a knob on the inside instead of the Avila lever. What are the options?
The FE285 Camelot lower half is supplied with the Avila lever as the interior trim. If the job calls for a knob inside, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with an Alcott knob or a Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest handleset uses a Hudson knob. Levers are generally the choice where ADA-style operation without tight grasping is wanted, so confirm the requirement before switching to a knob.
18) If I want a key-free entry set rather than the FE285 plus a keyed deadbolt, what should I look at?
The FE285 Camelot with Avila lever is non-keyed on its own and relies on the paired deadbolt for locking. For a fully key-free front entry, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX pairs an Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim connected by August, and the Yale BYRD256CBARX is an Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and the Ridgefield handleset. Both cover thicker doors than the Schlage, so verify the slab measurement.
19) Are there solid brass handleset options if the zinc and steel FE285 is not right for a coastal or high-end entry?
The Schlage FE285 Camelot is zinc and steel construction. For solid brass, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all solid brass entry handlesets, and the Deltana 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Emtek's 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan are brass mortise handlesets but are dummy function, so they are not entry substitutes.
20) What finishes does the Schlage FE285 Camelot with Avila lever come in?
Two: 619 Satin Nickel and 716 Aged Bronze. Both are standard Schlage residential finish codes, so matching deadbolts and interior levers in 619 or 716 will key visually to the entry set across a building.
