Weslock 02870-N3NSL2D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Weslock Leighton handleset work with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
Both. The latch supplied with the 2870 Leighton is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset, and it comes with radius faceplates and strikes, so you do not have to know the bore centerline before you order.
2) Single cylinder handleset - does it take a key on the outside and a thumbturn inside?
Yes. The 2870 Leighton is a single cylinder entry set: keyed exterior on a 5-pin Weslock keyway, thumbturn on the interior side, with the Utica lever handling latch retraction. If you need key access from both sides, for example on a door beside glass sidelites where code or insurance calls for it, a single cylinder is not the right function.
3) Can I get several Weslock Leighton handlesets keyed alike for a rental property?
Yes. Keying is selected at order time: keyed different is the standard, or you can specify keyed alike so one key runs every unit you buy on the same order. There is also a key code field if you are matching existing Weslock cylinders already in the building. All of it runs on the Weslock 5-pin keyway, so it will not key alike with Kwikset SmartKey or Schlage cylinders.
4) Is the Weslock 2870 rated for a fire door?
The Leighton handleset carries a 20 minute UL rating. That covers the common 20 minute rated door between an attached garage and the house, which is where a residential entry set most often has to be rated. It is not rated beyond 20 minutes, so a longer-rated opening needs a different device.
5) What is a good alternative to the Weslock Leighton if I need a Schlage or Kwikset keyway?
If the rest of the building is on Schlage, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entry set fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. On the Kwikset side, the 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset comes in a SmartKey version and an SC1 keyway version, both Grade 3 and both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, though those are exterior-only sets so you supply the interior trim. Neither reaches the 2-1/4 inch door thickness the Weslock handles.
6) Is the Weslock 2870 a full handleset with the deadbolt, or just the exterior plate?
It is a complete single cylinder entry handleset: exterior grip with keyed cylinder, deadbolt, and Utica lever interior trim, with latch and strikes included. That is a difference worth knowing against the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview, which are cataloged as exterior only and need interior trim ordered separately, and against the Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan handlesets, which are dummy function with no lock at all.
7) I have a 2-1/4 inch thick entry door. Will the Weslock 2870 Leighton handleset fit, or do I need something else?
The Weslock 2870 Leighton adjusts to door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so a 2-1/4 inch door is within its range. Most residential handlesets stop short of that: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both top out at 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador is listed at 1-3/4 inch. If you want an electronic option on a door that thick, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
8) My door is prepped for a mortise lock. Is the Weslock 2870 Leighton the right handleset, or do I need mortise trim?
The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a bored tubular handleset with a square spindle tubular design, fitting doors bored with 2-1/8 inch top and bottom cross holes and 1 inch edge holes. It is not mortise trim. For a mortise-prepped door, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is the match, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder version covers the case where the interior side also needs a key; both are for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) 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. Like the Weslock 2870 Leighton, it is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with a lever interior trim, and it is a Grade 2 F Series unit that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Weslock 2870 Leighton exceeds ANSI Grade 2 standards and adjusts to door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so it covers thicker doors than the F60 Addison does. Keying differs: the 2870 uses a 5-pin Weslock keyway, so the two will not key alike to each other.
10) I am standardizing rental unit front doors on one key. Does the Weslock 2870 Leighton or a Kwikset SmartKey handleset make that easier?
Both routes exist but they work differently. The Weslock 2870 Leighton uses a 5-pin Weslock keyway and is ordered keyed different or keyed alike, so a group of doors is set to a common key at the time of order. The Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador single cylinder handleset uses the SC1 keyway with SmartKey and is a Grade 3 unit for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Kwikset 687AMD SMT and 687BW Belleview are the same Grade 3 SmartKey exterior-only handlesets. SmartKey lets the cylinder be rekeyed at the door later, while the Weslock approach fixes the keying when the order is placed. Note the Kwikset 687 units are exterior only, so interior trim is separate; the 2870 Leighton includes the Utica lever interior.
11) Can I use an Emtek 3002 Memphis handleset in place of the Weslock 2870 Leighton on a front door?
No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function, as are the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan. Dummy trim is fixed and does not latch or lock, so it suits an inactive leaf of a pair of doors, not a working entry. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with an adjustable latch for 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is what an operating front door needs.
12) How much space does the Weslock Leighton handleset take up on the door?
The exterior plate runs 18-3/8 inches long by 2.8 inches wide with a 2.5 inch projection; the interior side is 11 inches long by 2.75 inches wide, also 2.5 inch projection. Worth checking against narrow stiles and against any storm or screen door that swings over the outside handle, since 2.5 inches of projection is what clears or does not clear.
13) What strikes come with the Weslock Leighton handleset?
The 2870 ships with radius faceplates and strikes for the latch, and the deadbolt side is covered by round and square strikes in both full lip and no lip versions. The no lip option matters on a jamb where a lipped strike would foul weatherstripping or an existing mortise; the full lip is the usual choice on a standard wood jamb.
14) Is the Weslock Leighton strong enough for a commercial entrance?
It is built as a residential entry set, zinc alloy body, exceeding ANSI Grade 2 lock standards. That is fine for a house, a condo unit, or an apartment entry door. For a real commercial opening with heavy daily traffic you want a Grade 1 commercial lockset instead, not a residential handleset.
15) Can I get the Weslock Leighton handleset with a knob instead of a lever?
The Leighton handleset is offered with the Utica lever, the Philtower lever, or the Mesa knob as the interior trim. The Utica lever configuration is the one described here. Levers are the easier choice where someone in the household has limited grip strength; the Mesa knob is the traditional look.
16) What is a simpler handleset than the Weslock 2870 Leighton for an entry door that does not need to be keyed?
The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is the non-keyed counterpart. It is a Grade 2 J Series handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, with a non-keyed entry function, so there is no cylinder to key or rekey. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with a 5-pin Weslock keyway, so it is the one to specify when the opening has to lock with a key.
17) What should I use instead of the Weslock 2870 Leighton if the tenant wants keypad or phone access?
The 2870 Leighton is a mechanical single cylinder handleset with a 5-pin Weslock keyway, so access is by key only. For electronic entry with a handleset, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with 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 pairs a key free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset over Wi-Fi. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt with SmartKey on 1-3/4 inch doors, and ships with RCAL latch and RCS strike.
18) What is the difference between the Weslock 2870 Leighton and a solid brass Deltana handleset like the 815871 St. Ann?
Material and construction are the main split. The Deltana 815871 St. Ann handleset is an entry function unit in solid brass, as are the Deltana 803871B Hanover and the 825871 Kingston. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a zinc alloy single cylinder entry handleset with a 5-pin Weslock keyway, a 20 minute UL rating, and an adjustable latch for 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, while the 2870 Leighton adjusts from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
19) Does the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock do the same job as the Weslock 2870 Leighton handleset?
No, they solve different openings. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, a Grade 2 JI Series unit with a passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so the lever is always free and the deadbolt is the locking element. The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a single cylinder entry handleset with a gripped exterior handle, an entry lock function, and Weslock 5-pin keying. If the drawing calls for a handleset on the exterior face, the interconnected lever set is not a substitute.
20) Which handlesets ship complete with interior trim, and which are exterior only?
The Weslock 2870 Leighton is a single cylinder handleset supplied with the Utica lever interior trim, and it includes radius faceplates and strikes with round and square full lip and round and square no lip deadbolt strikes. By contrast the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador, 687AMD SMC Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are exterior only, so interior trim is ordered separately. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison comes with the Accent lever and the JE285 Barcelona with the Seville lever.
21) What finishes does the Weslock 2870 Leighton handleset come in?
Three: oil rubbed bronze, matte black, and satin nickel, all with the Utica lever interior trim. Matte black and satin nickel are the two that match most current builder trim packages; oil rubbed bronze is the one that will patina against adjacent hardware over time.
22) Are the mounting screws visible on the Weslock Leighton handleset?
No. The Leighton uses concealed installation screws, so the exterior plate reads clean with no fasteners across the face. On a front entry where the handleset is the first thing anyone sees, that is the practical difference between this and a set with exposed through-bolts.
23) I want a knob on the inside rather than a lever. Is there an alternative to the Weslock 2870 Leighton with Utica lever?
Within the Weslock 2870 Leighton, the handleset is available with the Utica lever, Philtower lever, or Mesa knob. Across other brands, the Baldwin Wesley handleset comes with the Alcott knob as an entrance function set, and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Carnaby knob is the same handleset with a different knob design. All are entry handlesets; the choice is interior trim style.
