Schlage Residential FE285 PLY 619 GEO – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset include a deadbolt, or do I have to buy that separately?
The FE285 Plymouth is a lower-half handleset only. There's no deadbolt in the box and no keyed cylinder in the handleset itself, so it has to be paired with an electronic deadbolt above it to make a complete front entry set. The thumbpiece outside and the Georgian knob inside both retract the spring latch; all the locking comes from the deadbolt you pair it with. If you want a handleset that arrives with the electronic deadbolt already matched, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a handleset with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt as one assembly.
2) Will the Schlage FE285 handleset fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes, 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors are both covered, so it works on older interior-weight doors as well as standard 1-3/4 inch residential entry doors. That range is wider than a lot of handlesets: the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and Belleview are 1-3/4 inch only, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial starts at 1-3/4 inch and runs to 2-1/4 inch. If your slab is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, the FE285 is the wrong part and the Weslock 1411 or a Deltana 810871 Montego (1-3/8 inch to 2 inch) is where to look.
3) My door is bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset. Do I need to order a different version of the FE285?
No. The FE285 ships with a dual-option universal latch that sets to either a 2-3/8 inch or a 2-3/4 inch backset, so one part number covers both of the two backsets you'll find in residential doors. You pick the setting during install rather than at order time. The latch is the 16-080 spring latch, supplied with both a round faceplate and a drive-in collar, so it drops into either an existing faceplate mortise or a plain drilled edge bore with no routing.
4) Will the FE285 latch work with the strike plate already in my door frame?
The spring latch throws 1/2 inch and the housing is 7/8 inch in diameter, with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate on a 1/4 inch radius corner. The strike supplied is a 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch full-lip radius-corner strike with no box. If your existing strike is the common 2-1/4 inch radius-corner type, the new one drops straight into the same frame mortise. A square-corner strike mortise will need the corners squared off or the existing plate reused, and a 1/2 inch throw means the frame stop has to sit close enough that the latch actually catches the lip.
5) Do dummy handlesets substitute for a Schlage FE285 Plymouth lower half?
No. The Schlage FE285 Plymouth retracts a latch by thumbpiece from outside or by the inside knob, so it operates a working door. Dummy handlesets have no latch action and mount as pull trim on an inactive leaf: the Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are all dummy function, as are the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob. Order a dummy only for the fixed side of a pair of doors.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset for a door that needs the keyed cylinder in the handleset itself?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is a non-keyed lower half designed to combine with an electronic deadbolt for a complete front entry set, so the locking cylinder lives in the deadbolt above it rather than in the handleset. When the opening calls for the key to be in the handleset, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is a keyed door entry unit in Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview is the same keyed entry approach in a different exterior style, also Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) Which handleset and electronic deadbolt combinations come as one package instead of buying the lower half separately?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth with Georgian knob is sold as the lower half only and is meant to be paired with an electronic deadbolt to finish the entry set. If a single packaged unit is preferred, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a handleset with a Halifax lever interior and a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt on 1-3/4 inch doors. Yale Real Living also packages the Ridgefield handleset with a touchscreen deadbolt: the BYRD226NRRX is standalone, the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and both fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
8) What handleset works on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth covers a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range. For thicker stock, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob and the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset both go to 2 inches, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset spans 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
9) Is a mortise entry trim like the Baldwin 6542 Tremont an alternative to the Schlage FE285 handleset?
They solve the same opening in different door preps. The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is a tubular handleset that installs with a spring latch, the 16-080 dual option round or drive-in latch, and a 10-027 full lip radius strike at 2-1/4 inch by 1-5/8 inch, on doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors and comes in single cylinder and double cylinder versions, which requires a mortise pocket in the door edge rather than the bored prep. Choose by what the door is already prepped for.
10) Is the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset handed, or does one part work on both left and right doors?
Non-handed. The same FE285 works on a left-hand or right-hand swing, so you don't have to determine handing before ordering and you can stock one part for a building with doors swinging both ways.
11) Is the Schlage FE285 handleset strong enough for apartment and rental entry doors?
It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and ANSI/BHMA A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, with zinc and steel construction. Grade 2 is the middle commercial tier, above the Grade 3 residential level, which is what makes it reasonable for multi-family unit doors and rental turnover rather than just owner-occupied homes. For comparison in the same class, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2, while the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and Belleview handlesets are Grade 3.
12) What finishes does the FE285 Plymouth handleset with Georgian knob come in?
Five: 609 Antique Brass, 619 Satin Nickel, 620 Antique Nickel, 622 Matte Black, and 716 Aged Bronze. Those are Schlage's standard residential finish numbers, so if the deadbolt you're pairing above it is also a Schlage in 619 or 716, the handleset and deadbolt read as one set on the door. That matters more on an entry than anywhere else in the house, since both halves are visible at eye level from outside.
13) I'm replacing a keyed handleset with a keypad deadbolt setup. Can I reuse my existing bore holes?
The FE285 needs the standard two-hole entry prep, a cross bore for the lower half at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset plus a separate bore above it for the deadbolt. If your old handleset was already a two-piece (handleset below, deadbolt above) arrangement at either of those backsets, the lower prep carries over. If you're coming off a single-piece handleset with one bore, you'll be drilling the upper hole for the electronic deadbolt. The thumbpiece trim is the Century family, and the knob is the Georgian design.
14) Is the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset keyed, and does it come with keys?
The lower half is non-keyed. There's no cylinder in the handleset and no keys with it, because the keying lives in the electronic deadbolt you mount above it. If you need a keyed exterior trim instead, a single-cylinder handleset is the type to look at, like the Kwikset 687AMD Amador with SmartKey or the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob.
15) Which handleset matches the Schlage FE285 door thickness range exactly for a mixed-door property?
The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel carries the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range as the Schlage FE285 Plymouth, which makes it the direct thickness match when some openings in a building take the thinner slab and some the standard 1-3/4 inch. The difference is function: the Pamex FS7P31 is an entry handleset with its own cylinder, while the FE285 is a non-keyed lower half that expects an electronic deadbolt above it.
16) What handleset should I use if the backset on the door is unknown or varies across the building?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth uses a universal dual backset latch that fits either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so one part number covers both preps. Among other brands, Sure-Loc builds adjustable backset into the Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry handleset, the Madison MA507 keyed entry handleset, the Alta AT507 tubular handleset, and the Coral CR507 handleset. Any of these avoids measuring every door before ordering.
17) What are the alternatives to a Georgian knob handleset if the interior trim should be a lever?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth pairs the Plymouth exterior with a Georgian knob inside. When the interior needs a lever instead, for ADA-minded or gloved-hand use, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset comes with Halifax lever interior trim and a SmartCode keypad deadbolt, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest carries a New Heaven lever, though that one is dummy function with no latch action. Baldwin's Wesley handleset is offered with an Alcott knob or a Carnaby knob if a knob interior is preferred in a different style.
18) Which handleset is solid brass rather than zinc and steel?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is built on zinc and steel substrate. Deltana's entry handlesets are solid brass across several styles: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston are all entry function in solid brass. For coastal exposure or a specification that calls out brass construction, those are the substitutions to look at.
19) If I want a key-free entry rather than a keyed cylinder, what pairs with a handleset?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is non-keyed by itself and takes an electronic deadbolt above it to secure the door. Yale Real Living offers key-free packages already matched to trim: the BYRD256 CBARX Assure key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim connected by August, and the BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset, which fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both remove the cylinder from the opening entirely.
20) What is the difference between the Kwikset 687AMD SMT and SMC versions when replacing a Schlage keyway entry set?
Both are the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset for keyed door entry, exterior only, Grade 3, on 1-3/4 inch doors. The KWI-687AMD-SMC version is specified with the SC1 keyway and SmartKey, while the KWI-687AMD-S version is listed as SMT SmartKey. The SC1 keyway version is the one to order when the property is already keyed to a Schlage-style keyway and the existing keys must continue to work.
21) Should I buy a knob or a lever handleset for the inside of a front door?
The FE285 Plymouth uses a Georgian knob on the interior. A knob suits a traditional-style entry and takes less swing clearance next to adjacent trim or a sidelight return. A lever is easier to operate with full hands or limited grip, and it's what most accessibility-minded specs call for, so on a door people pass through constantly with packages, a lever interior is the better call. For a lever-trim handleset in the same residential class, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente uses Halifax lever interior trim.
22) Do I need a locksmith to install the Schlage FE285, or can my maintenance tech do it?
On a door that's already bored, it's a screwdriver job. The FE285 mounts in three steps with no special tools, and the latch includes both a round faceplate and a drive-in version so you don't need a chisel for the edge prep. A maintenance tech can handle it. New drilling for the upper deadbolt bore is where you'd want a template and a boring jig.
