Weslock 02870-N4NSL2D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door prep does the Weslock Leighton entry handleset need, and will it cover the holes from my old handleset?
Prep is a 2-1/8 inch top cross bore (1-5/8 inch is an option), a 2-1/8 inch bottom cross bore, and 1 inch edge bores. That is the standard two-bore handleset prep, so a door already drilled for a deadbolt over a knob takes it directly. The exterior plate runs 18-3/8 inches long by 2.8 inches wide with a 2.5 inch projection, and the interior side is 11 inches long, 2.75 inches wide, same 2.5 inch projection, which is what decides whether it covers old escutcheon marks.
2) Does the Weslock Leighton handleset come with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset latch?
Both. The latches are adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which are the two backsets used on residential doors, so you set it on site rather than ordering a backset. Radius faceplates and strikes are supplied, and the deadbolt strike ships in round and square, full lip and no lip, so you can match whatever the jamb is already mortised for.
3) I'm keying several units alike. Can I order Weslock 2870 handlesets keyed alike?
Keying is a free selection at order time: keyed different as standard, or keyed alike, with a key code field if you need to match an existing code. The cylinder is a 5-pin Weslock keyway, so these key alike to other Weslock cylinders, not to a Kwikset SmartKey or a Schlage SC1 keyway. For a property manager standardizing a building, that means keeping the whole fleet on Weslock trim rather than mixing brands on one key.
4) Single cylinder or double cylinder on an entry door with glass next to it?
The 2870 Leighton is single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn inside. That is the normal entry choice and the code-friendly one for egress, but if you have glass within reach of the inside turn and your local rule calls for a key on both sides, this is not the part. Baldwin's Estates 6542 Tremont is offered as a double cylinder entry mortise trim for that case.
5) Which handleset should I use on a 2-inch or thicker entry door instead of the Weslock Leighton?
The Leighton already covers it - it adjusts to door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, which is the widest mechanical range among comparable residential handlesets. If a keypad deadbolt is wanted on that same thick slab, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset fits 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Handlesets built on a fixed 1-3/4 inch prep, such as the Kwikset 687AMD Amador, or a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, such as the Schlage F60 Addison, will not make up a 2-inch door.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Weslock 2870 Leighton single cylinder handleset from another brand?
The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is the closest match in function and door fit. Both are keyed entrance handlesets, and both cover the common residential range: the F60 Addison fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, while the Leighton adjusts from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so the Weslock reaches thicker slabs the Schlage does not. The main difference for a buyer standardizing a building is trim and keyway: the Leighton uses a 5-pin Weslock keyway with a Mesa knob inside, and the F60 comes with the Accent lever.
7) Do the Emtek 3002 Memphis and similar mortise entrance handlesets work as a substitute for the Weslock Leighton?
No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are dummy function - they are pull trim with no latch and no cylinder, typically used on an inactive leaf. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset latch. They also differ in prep entirely: the Emtek sets are mortise, while the Leighton is a bored tubular set fitting 2-1/8 inch cross bores and 1 inch edge bores.
8) My door is prepped for a mortise lock - can I put the Weslock 2870 Leighton on it?
No. The Leighton is a bored tubular handleset with a square spindle design that fits doors prepared with 2-1/8 inch top and bottom cross holes and 1 inch edge holes. For a mortise-prepped entry door, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the right family: it is available in a single cylinder version and a double cylinder version, both entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) What is the difference between the Weslock 2870 Leighton and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador handleset?
The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is an exterior-only single cylinder keyed handleset - it ships without interior trim - and is a Grade 3 entrance set for 1-3/4 inch doors. It is offered as the 687AMD SMT with SmartKey and the 687AMD SMC with the SC1 keyway SmartKey. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a complete set with interior trim, exceeds ANSI Grade 2, uses a 5-pin Weslock keyway, and adjusts from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness. If the existing exterior grip is being replaced and the inside trim is staying, the Amador is the one to look at; for a full both-sides replacement, the Leighton is.
10) Is the Weslock Leighton handleset rated for a fire door?
It carries a 20 minute UL rating, which covers a 20 minute rated opening such as a house-to-garage door in residential construction. For anything above that, or a commercial rated opening, this is not the lock; the Leighton is a residential handleset.
11) Can I use the Weslock 2870 handleset on a commercial entrance in an apartment building lobby?
No. The Leighton is a residential bored handleset that exceeds ANSI Grade 2, which suits unit entry doors and single-family front doors, not a high-traffic lobby or a leasing office door. For unit doors across a multi-family property it is a reasonable standard; for the common-area entrance, go to a commercial mortise or cylindrical lock instead.
12) How does the Weslock Leighton compare to a Kwikset or Schlage handleset for a rental property?
The Leighton exceeds ANSI Grade 2 and uses a 5-pin Weslock keyway. Kwikset's 687 Amador and Belleview handlesets are Grade 3 and exterior-only trim, so you supply the inside separately; Schlage's F60 Addison is Grade 2 with a lever inside. Master Lock's HDLB Series is another Grade 2 single cylinder handleset. The practical split is keyway family and thickness range: only the Weslock goes to 2-1/4 inch doors among these.
13) Does the Weslock 2870 handleset come as a complete set with the deadbolt and interior trim, or is it exterior only?
The 2870 Leighton is a complete active entry handleset: exterior grip with keyed cylinder, interior Mesa knob trim, adjustable latches, faceplates and strikes. Contrast that with the Kwikset 687 Amador and Belleview, which are sold as exterior trim only and need the interior half ordered separately.
14) I want a handleset with a keypad or app control instead of a key - what replaces the Weslock Leighton?
Several electronic sets cover the same opening. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset, and the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; both fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The BYRD256 CBARX is key-free with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim, connected by August, also 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is mechanical, keyed to a 5-pin Weslock cylinder.
15) I need an entry handleset that takes a key but I want a lever inside instead of a knob - what are my options?
The Weslock 2870 Leighton is offered with the Utica lever or Philtower lever as well as the Mesa knob, all on the same square spindle tubular chassis and the same 5-pin Weslock keyway. If a different brand is preferred, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset comes with the Accent lever and is a Grade 2 entrance set fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset is another keyed entry option, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) The door does not need to lock from outside - is there a handleset that skips the cylinder?
Yes. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function Grade 2 set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which suits a side or garage-to-house door that is secured elsewhere. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is single cylinder keyed entry, so it is the choice where the exterior grip has to lock. Both keying options on the Leighton, keyed different and keyed alike, apply to that cylinder.
17) Is the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D handleset the same grade as the Weslock 2870 Leighton?
Both sit at the Grade 2 level: the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D from the HDLB series is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset with entrance function, and the Weslock 2870 Leighton exceeds ANSI Grade 2 lock standards and carries a 20 minute UL rating. The Leighton also adjusts to door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and takes an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset latch, so it fits a wider set of existing preps.
18) I need a keyed deadbolt with a lever on an interior connecting door, not a handleset - what should I order?
The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel is built for that: it is a Grade 2 passage function set with a keyed deadbolt, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is an exterior-style entry handleset with an 18-3/8 inch exterior grip, so it suits a front or main entrance rather than a connecting door.
19) What finishes does the Weslock Leighton handleset with Mesa knob come in?
Three finishes with the Mesa knob: oil rubbed bronze, matte black, and satin nickel. All three are the same handleset and the same prep, so if you are matching openings across a building you can run one finish now and a different one later without changing the door drilling.
20) What is the Weslock Leighton handleset made of, and will it hold up on a coastal or high-traffic front door?
Body substrate is zinc alloy, with a square spindle tubular design and concealed installation screws. Square spindle drive is what keeps a handleset feeling tight over years of use rather than developing play at the grip. It is a residential-duty part exceeding ANSI Grade 2, which is appropriate for a single-family or unit entry door.
