Weslock 01501IBI3SL2D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Weslock 1501 handleset fit my existing door prep, or do I have to re-drill?
The 1501 Unigard Premiere drops into a standard residential interconnect prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bores top and bottom, a 1 inch edge bore, and 2-7/8 inch center to center between the two cross holes. Backset is 2-3/8 inches, so an existing 2-3/8 prep takes it as-is. If your door is bored on a 2-3/4 backset, the latch is non-adjustable, so you need the 2-3/4 latch version rather than this one.
2) Does the Weslock 1501 need a separate deadbolt, or is the deadbolt part of the handleset?
The deadbolt is built in. The 1501 is an interconnected entry set, meaning the deadbolt and the knob latch operate together as one assembly with single-point locking. The deadbolt throws 1 inch and carries two hardened steel rollers in the bolt to resist sawing. You are ordering one part, not a handleset plus a separate bolt.
3) Can someone get out fast in a fire with the Weslock 1501 interconnected lock?
One turn of the interior knob retracts both the deadbolt and the latch and opens the door. That panic-proof single motion is the whole point of an interconnected set, and it is what property managers and landlords put on rental entry doors so a tenant is not fumbling with a thumbturn and a knob separately on the way out.
4) Can I key the Weslock 1501 handlesets alike across several units?
Yes. Keyed alike is a no-cost option at ordering, alongside the standard keyed different. It is a 5-pin cylinder on the Weslock keyway, so anything you key alike has to be Weslock keyway too. If you are matching an existing key system, there is a key code field on the order to give us your code.
5) I have a 1-3/8 inch door. What handleset should I use instead of the Weslock 1501?
Not the 1501, its range starts at 1-3/4 inches. For a 1-3/8 inch door, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Deltana 810871 Montego spans 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Neither of those is interconnected the way the 1501 is, so if the single-motion egress is what you are after, confirm the function before you swap.
6) Will the Weslock 1501 replace a mortise handleset?
No. The 1501 is a tubular bored set that goes into round cross bores and an edge bore. A mortise handleset needs a rectangular pocket routed into the door edge, and pulling one out leaves a cavity a tubular set cannot cover. If you are replacing mortise trim on an existing mortise-prepped door, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the like-for-like direction.
7) What handleset should I use instead if the entry needs keypad or app access rather than a key?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a keyed single cylinder handleset with a 5-pin Weslock keyway. For electronic access, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. If the site wants remote access, the Yale BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth over the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere interconnected handleset from another brand?
The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected lock with Torino lever is the nearest match in kind: it is the other interconnected handle-and-deadbolt unit in the group, pairing an interconnected latch with a keyed deadbolt. The two differ in how they lock. The Weslock 1501 is a single cylinder entry handleset with a keyed exterior, while the Schlage JI18/19 runs a passage function on the handle side with the keying at the deadbolt. Door prep also differs: the Weslock 1501 adjusts to doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Schlage JI18/19 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
9) What single cylinder entry handleset should I use on a 1-3/8 inch door?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere handleset adjusts to doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick, so for a thinner slab look to the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, or the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever, a Grade 2 unit covering the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. Both are entry function like the Weslock 1501.
10) Is the Emtek 3002 Memphis mortise entrance handleset a substitute for a Weslock 1501?
No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function, meaning it is trim with no latching or keying, and it is mortise rather than bored. The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset. The same holds for the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan, all dummy function. Use those on an inactive leaf or a fixed panel, and the Weslock 1501 on the operating door that has to lock.
11) What is the difference between a bored handleset like the Weslock 1501 and a mortise entry trim?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a tubular bored unit that fits doors prepared with 2-1/8 inch cross bores and a 2-3/8 inch backset. Mortise trim such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont requires a mortise pocket in the door edge instead. Baldwin offers the 6542 Tremont in a single cylinder entry version, BAL-6542ENTR, and a double cylinder version, BAL-6542DBLC, both entrance function for a 1-3/4 inch door. If the door is already bored, the Weslock 1501 drops in; if it is mortised, the Baldwin 6542 is the family to look at.
12) Which handleset works on a door that varies between 1-3/8 inch and 2 inch across a building?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, so it will not reach a 1-3/8 inch slab. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset spans 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch in one part, which suits a mixed-thickness fleet where the doors were not all hung to the same spec. The Yale Real Living BYRD410BLERX Assure Lock 2 with Ridgefield handleset, ordered as BYRD256CBARX, spans 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch if the opening is going key-free with Wi-Fi.
13) Is the Weslock 1501 a single or double cylinder lock, and does it key from inside?
Single cylinder. Key operates the exterior only; inside is a thumbturn and the interior knob. That is the right choice for a solid entry door, and it is what keeps the panic-proof egress working. If you have glass within reach of the lock and want key-both-sides, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is offered in a double cylinder entry version.
14) Does the Weslock 1501 come with strikes, and what shape are they?
Round corner strikes ship with it. Round corner is the common residential prefit shape on a factory-machined door jamb, so if your existing jamb is cut round corner, these drop straight in with no chiseling. The latch faceplate measures 1 x 2-1/4 inches and is removable, which is what lets you match a drive-in or square-corner jamb cut.
15) Is the Weslock 1501 handleset rated for commercial use?
It is a residential handleset, built for house and apartment entry doors. For a commercial opening with heavier traffic or a spec calling out a grade, look at the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D, a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset, or the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, also Grade 2.
16) What is a simpler alternative to an interconnected handleset for a residential entry door?
A separate handleset with an independent deadbolt keeps the prep simpler than the Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere, which ties handle and deadbolt into one interconnected assembly. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is a Grade 3 entrance unit supplied as exterior trim only for a 1-3/4 inch door, offered with SmartKey in the KWI-687AMD-S version and with an SC1 keyway in the KWI-687AMD-SMC version. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview is the same arrangement in a different escutcheon shape. Note that the Weslock 1501 comes with an interior Impressa knob, while those Kwikset units are exterior only.
17) Which handleset carries a higher ANSI grade than a residential Weslock 1501?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a residential handleset. Where a facility standard calls for a graded product, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series is Grade 2 entrance function, as is the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview handlesets are Grade 3.
18) What other solid brass entry handlesets pair an exterior grip with an interior knob?
Alongside the Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere, which is a brass handleset supplied with an Impressa knob interior, the Baldwin Wesley handleset comes with an Alcott knob as BAL-180WYHXATK or a Carnaby knob as BAL-180WYHXCYK, both entrance function. Deltana builds several solid brass entry handlesets in distinct grip shapes: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston. Choosing among them is a matter of grip and knob styling, since all are entry handlesets for a keyed opening.
19) What handleset goes on a door that does not need to lock at all?
The Weslock 1501 Unigard Premiere is a keyed single cylinder unit. Where the opening only needs a grip and latch, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry unit for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim over 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. A common pattern is the keyed Weslock 1501 on the front entry and a passage unit on an interior or secondary door.
20) What finishes does the Weslock 1501 Impressa handleset come in?
Three: antique brass, polished brass, and satin nickel, all with the Impressa knob interior. The exterior is solid brass, so the plated finish sits on brass rather than a zinc casting. If you are matching other openings in the building, note the interior trim is not locked to Impressa, the 1501 accepts any Traditionale Collection knob or lever style.
21) Do the mounting screws show on the face of the Weslock 1501?
No, installation screws are concealed, and the interior side uses smooth nolin plates with no exposed fasteners. On a front entry where the hardware is at eye level that matters to the finish look, and it also means there is nothing on the face for someone to back out from the exterior side.
