Weslock 01501EAEASL2D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Weslock 1501 handleset fit a door already bored for a standard entry set?
The 1501 Unigard Premiere goes into a door prepped with 2-1/8 inch cross bores top and bottom, a 1 inch edge bore, and 2-7/8 inch center-to-center spacing between the two edge holes. That is the standard interconnected prep, so if your door already carries a knob bore plus a deadbolt bore on that spacing, it drops in. If the two bores on your door are spaced anything other than 2-7/8 inches apart, the escutcheon will not line up over both.
2) Is the Weslock 1501 latch a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
The 1501E ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch, and Weslock latches are non-adjustable, so it will not slide out to 2-3/4. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore: if that is 2-3/4 inches, you need the 2-3/4 version instead of this one. The latch faceplate is 1 x 2-1/4 inches and is removable.
3) Can I get several Weslock 1501 handlesets keyed alike on one key?
Yes. Keyed alike is a no-charge option on the 1501, so a landlord or builder doing multiple units or a front and back door can put them all on one key. Keyed different is the standard if you say nothing. There is also a key code field if you are matching an existing Weslock keyway, which is a 5-pin cylinder.
4) Does the Weslock 1501 have a separate deadbolt, or is it one lock?
Both, working as one. The 1501 is an interconnected entry set: a knob latch and a 1 inch throw deadbolt on a single escutcheon, single-point locking, and one turn of the interior knob retracts both and opens the door. That last part is the reason property managers spec interconnected sets on rental units, the tenant cannot leave the deadbolt thrown and trap themselves. The deadbolt carries two hardened steel rollers to resist sawing.
5) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick. Which entry handlesets will fit?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is ordered for either 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch or 2 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness, so it covers a 2-1/4 inch door when you select the thicker option. Among other handleset options, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset lists 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version lists the same range. Handlesets like the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and the Schlage F60 Addison are built for thinner doors, at 1-3/4 inch and 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch respectively.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere handleset if I need a keyed single cylinder entry handleset with an interior lever instead of a knob?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a single cylinder entry handleset with an Eleganti knob interior. For the same keyed entry job with a lever inside, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset comes with an Accent lever and is a Grade 2 entrance function. The Weslock 1501 adjusts to door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, while the F60 Addison covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so confirm which range your door falls in before you swap.
7) Is the Kwikset 687AMD Amador handleset a drop-in replacement for a Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere?
No, they are not interchangeable in what they include. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder keyed entry handleset is sold as exterior trim only, Grade 3, and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a complete interconnected entry set with an Eleganti knob interior, a 2-3/8 inch backset latch and round corner strikes, adjusting from 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Choose the Amador when you already have the interior trim you want to keep.
8) I want a handleset that looks like an entry set but does not need a key. What should I use instead of the Weslock 1501?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a keyed single cylinder set. If the opening does not need keying, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are dummy function, meaning they are trim only with no operating latch, for inactive or fixed leaves.
9) Does the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock do the same thing as the Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere?
Both are interconnected sets, but the latch functions differ. The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a single cylinder keyed entry set, so the exterior knob or grip is locked and keyed. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is a passage function interconnected lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, meaning the lever always turns freely and only the deadbolt secures the opening.
10) Will the Weslock 1501 deadbolt reach my existing strike?
The deadbolt throws 1 inch, which is a full-length bolt into the jamb, and the set comes with round corner strikes. If the strikes already in your frame are square corner, use the ones supplied or your bolt may not seat cleanly. Round corner is what you want on a door and frame that was routed with a router rather than chiseled square.
11) Is the Weslock 1501 rated for a commercial opening?
No, it is a residential set. The 1501 Unigard Premiere is built for houses, apartments, and condo entries, with a solid brass exterior and the Traditionale trim range. For a commercial corridor or a code-driven institutional opening you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 lock instead. Among handlesets we carry, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, as is the Schlage F60 Addison.
12) Can I use a lever inside instead of the Eleganti knob on a Weslock handleset?
The 1501 exterior handle takes any interior knob or lever from the Weslock Traditionale Collection, so the Eleganti knob is one choice of many on the same escutcheon and prep. Levers are the pick when you want easier operation for older residents or anyone carrying things through the door.
13) What is the difference between a single cylinder and a double cylinder entry handleset?
Single cylinder, which is what the Weslock 1501 is, means key outside and a thumbturn inside. That is the safer choice on a door with no glass beside it, and it keeps the interior operable without a key in a fire. Double cylinder needs a key on both faces and is used where glass sits next to the lock so a broken pane cannot reach a turn. If you need double cylinder, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is a double cylinder entry mortise trim we stock.
14) Is there a keyless or keypad handleset that fits the same thick doors as the Weslock 1501?
If you want a code or phone instead of a key on a door in the same thickness class, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts with the Ridgefield handleset cover 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, in standalone, Wi-Fi, and key-free versions. The Weslock 1501 is a mechanical set with a 5-pin Weslock keyway, so it is the choice when you want no electronics and no batteries on the door.
15) Do I need to buy a deadbolt separately with the Weslock 1501 handleset?
No, the deadbolt is part of the set. The 1501 arrives as a complete interconnected entry unit with the 1 inch throw deadbolt, the 2-3/8 inch latch, and round corner strikes. What you specify on the order is door thickness, the keying, and the interior trim. Installation screws are concealed, so nothing shows on the face once it is mounted.
16) I need a keyed entry handleset with a keypad deadbolt instead of a mechanical key. What are my options?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere uses a 5-pin Weslock keyway cylinder with a 1 inch throw deadbolt. If the opening calls for electronic access, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key free touchscreen version with a Ridgefield passage handleset.
17) Which other solid brass entry handlesets are comparable to the Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is built with a solid brass exterior. Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets in the same vein: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function. Deltana also makes the 810871 Montego handleset, which lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch against the Weslock 1501 range of 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
18) Which handleset should I specify if my facility standard calls for a graded entry handleset?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a residential handleset with a 1 inch throw deadbolt carrying two hardened steel rollers. Where a grade must appear on the submittal, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D from the HDLB Series is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset with an entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2 entrance in the F Series. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exterior handlesets are Grade 3.
19) I want a handleset with a knob interior rather than a lever. What matches the Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere pairs with the Eleganti knob and can take any interior Traditionale Collection knob or lever style. In the same knob-interior configuration, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with the Alcott knob and with the Carnaby knob, both entrance function.
20) What handleset finish is the Weslock 1501E with the Eleganti knob?
Antique brass, over a solid brass exterior, paired with the Eleganti knob trim. Antique brass reads warm and darkened rather than bright, so it sits with traditional-style doors and existing oil-rubbed or aged hardware rather than against polished chrome or satin nickel.
