Schlage Residential FE285 PLY626ORB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset come with a lock cylinder, or do I need a separate deadbolt?
The FE285 is a non-keyed handleset. The thumbpiece retracts the latch from outside and the inside knob retracts it from inside, so there is no key cylinder in the handle itself. It's built to pair with an electronic deadbolt above it to make a complete front entry set. If you want the whole opening secured, budget for the deadbolt separately.
2) Will the Schlage FE285 handleset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it only for 1-3/4?
Both. The FE285 covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, which takes in the standard commercial/exterior 1-3/4 slab and the thinner older doors. If your entry door is thicker than 1-3/4, such as a 2 inch or 2-1/4 inch slab, this is the wrong set. For thicker doors the Deltana 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial goes 1-3/4 to 2-1/4.
3) My door is bored for a 2-3/4 backset. Do I have to order a different Schlage FE285?
No. The FE285 ships with a dual-option spring latch (16-080) that adjusts to either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so one part number covers both preps. That matters on replacement work where you may not know the existing backset until the old lock is off the door.
4) Will the FE285 latch into the strike already in my door frame?
The FE285 uses a 1/2 inch throw spring latch with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate, 1/4 inch radius corners, and a 7/8 inch housing diameter, which is the common residential bore. It includes a 10-027 full lip radius strike measuring 2-1/4 by 1-5/8 inches, no box. If your frame carries a square-corner or T-strike prep, plan on either swapping the strike or filing the mortise to match the radius corners.
5) I need a keyed handleset rather than the non-keyed Schlage FE285 - what should I order?
The FE285 Plymouth is a non-keyed entrance handleset, with the latch retracted by the exterior thumbpiece or the inside knob. For a keyed single-cylinder handleset over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is another single cylinder handleset with a knob interior, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 and Madison MA507 are keyed entry handlesets with adjustable backset.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset if I need the deadbolt included instead of buying it separately?
The FE285 Plymouth is a non-keyed handleset whose function description calls for combining it with an electronic deadbolt to make a complete front entry set, so the deadbolt is a separate purchase. If you want the handleset and deadbolt as one package, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a handleset carrying Halifax lever interior trim with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt in a single Signature Series assembly for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX combines an Assure standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD226CBARX is the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version of that same Ridgefield pairing.
7) My entry door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what handleset covers it if the Schlage FE285 does not?
The FE285 Plymouth handleset covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a heavier slab falls outside it. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder handleset spanning 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Deltana 810871 Montego and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If you want an electronic deadbolt on the thick door, the Yale BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
8) Are the Emtek 3002 Memphis and Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handlesets substitutes for the Schlage FE285?
No. The FE285 Plymouth is an entrance handleset whose thumbpiece retracts a working latch from outside and whose inside Georgian knob retracts it from inside. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy, as are the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob are dummy handlesets as well. Dummy trim is fixed and operates no latch, so it suits an inactive leaf of a pair of doors rather than the active entry door the FE285 is built for.
9) What other handleset carries the same Grade 2 rating as the Schlage FE285?
The FE285 Plymouth is rated ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. Among other handlesets, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset from the HDLB Series is also Grade 2 and is an entrance function. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3, so if a Grade 2 line item is written into the spec, the Master Lock is the peer that matches it.
10) Do I need to know the handing before ordering the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset?
No handing to specify. The FE285 is non-handed and installs on a left-hand or right-hand door as it comes out of the box. For a property manager buying several at once, that means one line item covers every entry door regardless of swing.
11) Is a Schlage FE285 tough enough for apartment entry doors, or do I need something higher rated?
The FE285 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, which is the top residential cycle and security tier. That covers multi-family unit entries, townhomes and single-family front doors. Among comparable handlesets, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2, while the Kwikset 687 Amador and Belleview exterior handlesets are Grade 3.
12) What does the FE285 actually look like inside and out, and can I get a lever instead of a knob?
Exterior is Plymouth trim with a thumbpiece; interior is a Georgian knob on Orbit trim, finished in 626 satin chrome. It's a knob-style interior, not a lever. If you need lever interior trim on an entry handleset, look at the Kwikset San Clemente with Halifax lever or the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever instead.
13) I want a lever on the inside instead of the Georgian knob on the Schlage FE285 - what are my options?
The FE285 Plymouth carries a Georgian knob as its interior handle. For a lever interior instead, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset uses Halifax lever interior trim and comes with an electronic keypad deadbolt. Within the same knob family, the Baldwin 180WYHXATK Wesley handleset pairs with an Alcott knob and the 180WYHXCYK Wesley pairs with a Carnaby knob, both entrance function, if you prefer a different knob shape rather than a lever.
14) Can I use a Kwikset 687 Amador in place of the Schlage FE285 if I only need the outside half?
They fill different needs. The FE285 Plymouth ships as a complete set with Plymouth trim outside and Orbit interior trim with a Georgian knob. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is an exterior-only keyed entry piece for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered as 687AMD SMT with SmartKey and as 687AMD SMC with the SC1 keyway SmartKey; the 687BW Belleview is the same exterior-only arrangement in a different trim. Those suit a job where the interior trim is already on the door, while the FE285 covers both faces.
15) What tools and prep does installing a Schlage FE285 handleset take?
A screwdriver handles the assembly once the door is prepped. You'll drill for the latch, the thumbpiece and the interior knob using the supplied template, set the dual backset latch to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4, then mount the Plymouth exterior trim and Orbit interior trim and check that the thumbpiece pulls the latch fully. On a replacement door already bored for a Schlage F Series handleset, it's mostly a swap.
16) What solid brass handleset alternatives exist to the Schlage FE285 Plymouth?
The FE285 Plymouth is a residential entrance handleset. If solid brass construction is what you are after, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all solid brass entry handlesets, plus the 810871 Montego, which covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan are brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function, so choose those only where no latch operation is needed.
