Weslock 02870-N7NSL2D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Weslock 2870 Leighton handleset fit my existing door bore, or do I have to redrill?
The Leighton entry handleset drops into a standard residential entry prep: 2-1/8 inch top cross bore (a 1-5/8 inch top bore version is available) and a 2-1/8 inch bottom cross bore, with 1 inch edge holes. If your door already has two 2-1/8 inch cross bores at standard entry spacing, no new boring is needed. If your existing top hole is the smaller 1-5/8 inch size, order the 1-5/8 inch top bore option rather than enlarging the door.
2) What door thickness does the Weslock Leighton handleset work on?
It adjusts from 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch, which covers the common 1-3/8 inch interior door, the standard 1-3/4 inch entry door, and thicker custom or insulated slabs up to 2-1/4 inches. That range is wider than most residential handlesets, so it suits a solid wood or clad entry door that a 1-3/4 inch only set will not close on.
3) Does the Weslock 2870 handleset need a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
Either. The latch supplied with the Leighton handleset is adjustable and sets to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so you do not need to measure the backset before ordering. It ships with radius faceplates and matching strikes, so it drops into a standard round-corner latch mortise in the door edge.
4) What does single cylinder mean on the Weslock Leighton handleset, and is it safe next to glass?
Single cylinder means the deadbolt is keyed on the outside only and turns with a thumbturn on the inside. It is the entry function, so the key retracts the bolt from outside and no key is needed to get out. If the door has sidelites or a glass panel within reach of the inside thumbturn, a single cylinder is the wrong choice, since the glass can be broken and the turn reached. For that opening you want a double cylinder trim keyed both sides, such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim.
5) Can I key the Weslock Leighton handleset to match the other doors on my property?
Yes, within the Weslock keyway. The lock uses a 5-pin Weslock cylinder and can be ordered keyed alike (KA) instead of the standard keyed different (KD), with a key code you supply. That lets a landlord or property manager put several entry doors on one key. It will not key into a Kwikset or Schlage system, since the cylinder is a Weslock keyway. If you are standardizing on Schlage's SC1 keyway across a building, the Schlage F60 Addison handleset with Accent lever is the equivalent to look at instead.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Weslock 2870 Leighton handleset from another brand?
The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is the nearest match. It is an entrance-function handleset in the Schlage F Series, carries a Grade 2 rating, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is also a single cylinder entry handleset, and it adjusts to door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so it reaches thicker doors than the Schlage F60 covers.
7) I need a handleset for a 2 inch thick entry door - what works?
The Weslock 2870 Leighton adjusts to door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so a 2 inch door is inside its range. Among other handlesets, the Deltana 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If the opening is electronic, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both stop at 1-3/4 inch and will not reach a 2 inch door.
8) Which handlesets look like the Weslock 2870 Leighton but will not key or lock an entry door?
The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are all dummy function - they mount as fixed trim with no latch or cylinder. The Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function. The Schlage JI18/19 with Torino lever is a passage lock paired with a separate keyed deadbolt. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset with a 5-pin Weslock keyway.
9) Is the Weslock 2870 Leighton a drop-in replacement for a mortise entry lock?
No. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a bored handleset with a square spindle tubular design and adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch latches, fitting a door prepared with 2-1/8 inch top and bottom cross holes and 1 inch edge bores. A mortise opening needs mortise trim such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim, which is an entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors; the double cylinder version of the 6542 Tremont covers the same 1-3/4 inch thickness. The door preps are not interchangeable.
10) How does the Weslock 2870 Leighton compare on grade to other residential handlesets?
The Weslock 2870 Leighton exceeds ANSI Grade 2 lock standards and carries a 20 minute UL rating. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2, and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3. Grade tiers describe different cycle and strength test levels, so match the grade to the traffic the opening sees.
11) Can I key a new entry handleset to my existing Kwikset or Schlage keys?
Not directly. The Weslock 2870 Leighton uses a 5-pin cylinder on the Weslock keyway, and it can be ordered keyed alike across multiple units. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador SMC handleset is built on the SC1 keyway with SmartKey, while the 687AMD SMT version uses SmartKey on the Kwikset keyway. Keyways from different manufacturers do not accept each other's keys, so standardize on one keyway family across the doors you want on a single key.
12) How much does the Weslock Leighton handleset stick out from the door, and how much room does it need on the jamb side?
The exterior plate runs 18-3/8 inches long by 2.8 inches wide with a 2.5 inch projection. The interior side is an 11 inch length by 2.75 inch width, also with a 2.5 inch projection. Check the 2.5 inch projection against a storm door or screen door swing, and check the 18-3/8 inch plate length against the height of any glass panel or panel moulding in the door face.
13) Which strikes come with the Weslock 2870 Leighton handleset?
Deadbolt strikes are supplied in round and square, each in full lip and no lip versions, and the latch comes with a radius faceplate and strike. That means you can match whatever is already cut into your jamb, whether the existing mortise is round cornered or square, and use the no lip strike where the jamb is already routed flush or the door is close to the stop.
14) Is the Weslock Leighton handleset rated for a commercial entrance?
It is a residential handleset. Weslock states it exceeds ANSI Grade 2 lock standards and carries a 20 minute UL rating, which is solid for a house or a rental unit front door, but the product is catalogued for residential use. For a heavier duty entrance or a project spec calling for a commercial grade device, look at a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock rather than a bored residential handleset.
15) Do I need to specify handing for the Weslock 2870 Leighton handleset?
No. It is a square spindle tubular design driven through the bore, so the same set works on a left or right hand door. Handing only matters for how the interior lever points once installed, which is set during installation, not at ordering.
16) What is a lower cost alternative to the Weslock Leighton if my door is a standard 1-3/4 inch entry?
On a plain 1-3/4 inch door you do not need the Leighton's wide 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch adjustment. The Schlage F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. Kwikset's 687 Amador and 687 Belleview are Grade 3 exterior-only handlesets for 1-3/4 inch doors if you are reusing existing interior trim.
17) Do I need to buy a separate deadbolt with the Weslock Leighton handleset?
No. The Leighton is a single cylinder entry handleset, meaning the deadbolt and the lever latch come as one set, keyed together, using the top and bottom cross bores in the door. You do not order a deadbolt separately. Compare that with an exterior-only handleset like the Kwikset 687 Amador, which is the outside trim alone and needs the rest of the hardware supplied.
18) What should I use instead of the Weslock 2870 Leighton if I want keypad or app entry?
The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs a Signature Series handleset with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, RCAL latch and RCS strike, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on a touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same set. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a mechanical single cylinder handleset keyed to a 5-pin Weslock keyway.
19) I want a knob instead of a lever on my entry handleset - what are the options?
The Weslock 2870 Leighton handleset is offered with the Utica lever, the Philtower lever, or the Mesa knob. If you want a different family entirely, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob, both entrance function. Choose by the interior trim shape you want to carry across the rest of the doors.
20) What solid brass entry handlesets are alternatives to the Weslock 2870 Leighton?
The Weslock 2870 Leighton is built from zinc alloy. For a solid brass body, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover handleset, the 815871 St. Ann handleset, and the 825871 Kingston handleset, all solid brass in entry function. Deltana also lists the 810871 Montego handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.
21) Can I get the Leighton handleset with a knob instead of the Philtower lever?
The Leighton handleset is offered with the Utica lever, the Philtower lever, or the Mesa knob. The Philtower lever version is the one configured here. Choose the lever if you want easier operation for someone carrying groceries or with limited grip; choose the Mesa knob if you are matching knob trim elsewhere in the house.
