Schlage Residential FE285 PLY 505 FLA RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset come with a deadbolt, or do I have to buy one separately?
The FE285 Plymouth is a lower handleset only, non-keyed. There is no deadbolt or key cylinder in it. You order the deadbolt separately, typically a Schlage electronic deadbolt, and the two together make the complete front entry set. The handleset half just retracts the latch: thumbpiece from outside, Flair lever from inside.
2) Will the FE285 handleset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it only for 1-3/4?
Both. The FE285 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, so it works on older interior-weight slabs as well as standard 1-3/4 inch entry doors. Thicker than 1-3/4 and you're outside its range: for a 2 inch or 2-1/4 inch door look at something like the Deltana 810871 Montego (1-3/8 to 2 inch) or the Weslock 1411 Traditionale (1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch).
3) My door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset. Do I need to order a different FE285?
No. The FE285 ships with a dual-option spring latch (16-080) that adjusts to either a 2-3/8 inch or a 2-3/4 inch backset, so one part covers both of the standard residential bore layouts. Nothing extra to specify on the order.
4) Do I have to specify left hand or right hand on the FE285 Plymouth handleset?
Yes, handing is an order decision here. Every finish is stocked in both LH and RH, so pick the hand of the door before you order. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, it's left hand. The interior Flair lever is what drives the handing, and the latch itself is universal.
5) Will the FE285 latch into the strike plate already in my frame?
The FE285 latch has a 1/2 inch throw and a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate with 1/4 inch radius corners, and it includes a 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch full lip radius strike (10-027). If your existing strike is the common radius-corner type at those dimensions, the new latch drops in. If your frame has a square-corner strike or a different cutout, install the included strike and adjust the mortise. Note the strike ships without a box.
6) What is the difference between the FE285 Plymouth handleset and a keyed single cylinder handleset?
A single cylinder handleset carries its own key cylinder and deadbolt as one assembly. The FE285 Plymouth carries no cylinder at all, no key, no lock in the handle. Security comes entirely from the deadbolt you mount above it, which is the point of the design if you are putting in an electronic or keypad deadbolt. If you want the traditional all-mechanical keyed version instead, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder handleset covering the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range, and the Master Lock HDLB Series is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset.
7) What can I use instead of the Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset if I need a handleset and electronic deadbolt as one package?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is a lower handleset only, meant to combine with an electronic deadbolt to form a complete front entry set, so the deadbolt is bought separately. If you want the handleset and electronic deadbolt supplied together, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever interior trim with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, RCAL latch and RCS strike, and is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset is another single-package option, fitting 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
8) My door is 1-3/8 inch thick. Which handlesets besides the Schlage FE285 will fit it?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For the same thin-door range, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset also lists 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. If you want more room at the thick end, the Deltana 810871 Montego and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Avoid the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial for a 1-3/8 inch door: the Amador is listed at 1-3/4 inch and the 1411 at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
9) Which handlesets match the Grade 2 rating of the Schlage FE285?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth handleset is Grade 2. Among comparable handlesets, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series is also Grade 2 and is an entrance function. If you are specifying to a Grade 2 minimum, note that the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exterior-only handlesets are Grade 3, so they would not meet that line on the schedule.
10) Is the Emtek 3002 Memphis handleset a substitute for the Schlage FE285?
No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function, meaning it has no working latch, and the same applies to the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan, along with the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob. The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is an entrance-function lower handleset whose latch is retracted by the exterior thumbpiece or the inside lever. Use a dummy handleset only on an inactive leaf of a pair of doors.
11) I need a keyed handleset, not the non-keyed Schlage FE285. What should I order?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is a non-keyed lower handleset that relies on a separate deadbolt for security. If you want the key cylinder in the handleset itself, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder keyed entry handleset with SmartKey is one option, offered with the SC1 keyway as the 687AMD SMC. The Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 and Madison MA507 are keyed entry handlesets with adjustable backset, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in satin nickel.
12) What is the difference between the Schlage FE285 handleset and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry trim?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is a tubular residential lower handleset with a Flair interior lever, a 16-080 dual-option spring latch and a 10-027 full lip radius strike, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, offered as single cylinder (BAL-6542ENTR) or double cylinder (BAL-6542DBLC), which means the door must be prepped for a mortise lock body rather than bored for a tubular latch. They are not interchangeable in an existing FE285 prep.
13) Is the FE285 handleset rated for a fire door?
The FE285 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA. Schlage's UL Listing for 3-hour fire doors applies to the F10, F40 (CSV only), F51A and F80 functions. The FE285 is a non-keyed lower handleset that pairs with a separate deadbolt, so if you have a rated opening, verify the specific function you are ordering matches one of those listed functions.
14) I manage rental units. Is a Grade 2 handleset enough for an apartment entry door?
Grade 2 is the middle ANSI/BHMA tier and is the usual specification for multi-family and rental entry doors, above the Grade 3 you see on builder-basic hardware. For comparison, the Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview handlesets in our range are Grade 3. The FE285 is zinc and steel construction and is built for residential entry duty.
15) What tools and prep do I need to install the FE285 handleset?
A screwdriver covers it. Schlage calls this a 3-step install with a universal latch, using the supplied template to mark the door. The latch housing needs a 7/8 inch bore and the faceplate mortise is 1 x 2-1/4 inch with 1/4 inch radius corners. The latch is a dual option, so it can go in as a round faceplate latch or a circular drive-in, which is what makes it drop into most existing bored doors without new routing.
16) The Schlage FE285 is ordered left hand or right hand. Which handlesets avoid handing at ordering?
The FE285 Plymouth is ordered by handing, left hand or right hand, in finishes including 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 716 aged bronze and 626 satin chrome. If you would rather stock one part number for both swings, the Sure-Loc Alta AT507 and Coral CR507 tubular handlesets with adjustable backset are alternatives, as is the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington entry handleset.
17) I want a knob inside instead of the Flair lever on the Schlage FE285. What are my options?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth uses a Flair lever for the interior trim. For an interior knob instead, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with an Alcott knob (BAL-180WYHXATK) or a Carnaby knob (BAL-180WYHXCYK), both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest pairs with a Hudson knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder option for thicker doors at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
18) Are there solid brass alternatives to the zinc and steel Schlage FE285 handleset?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is built from zinc and steel. For solid brass construction, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston entry handlesets, all solid brass, 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 those are dummy function and will not latch a working entry door.
19) If I want a key-free keypad entry instead of pairing a deadbolt with the Schlage FE285, what should I look at?
The Schlage FE285 Plymouth is a non-electronic handleset that needs a separate deadbolt. For a key-free electronic package, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt comes with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim on Wi-Fi, and the BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. If you do not need network connectivity, the Yale BYRD226NRRX is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
20) Is the Flair lever the same as a knob for the inside trim, and does it help with accessibility?
The Flair is a lever, not a knob, so it operates with a closed fist or forearm rather than a grip and twist. That is the reason most property managers and institutional buyers pick lever trim on unit entries. Outside is a thumbpiece on the Plymouth handle, inside is the Flair lever.
