Weslock R7624-2H20020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Weslock 7624 Castletown dummy handleset actually latch, or is it just trim?
It is a dummy, non-keyed, so there is no latch, no bolt and no cylinder. The Carlow lever and handle are fixed trim that mount to the door face, typically on the inactive leaf of a double door or on a door held shut by other means. If you need the door to latch or lock, you want an entrance function handleset instead, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever or the Kwikset 687 Belleview.
2) What door prep do I need for the Weslock 7624 Castletown handleset?
It goes on a door bored with 2-1/8 inch top and bottom cross holes (1-5/8 inch is an option up top) and a 1 inch edge hole, with at least 5-1/2 inch center to center between the two cross bores. If your existing handleset prep is on tighter spacing than 5-1/2 inches, this one will not line up.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Weslock Castletown dummy handleset?
Yes, it is built left hand or right hand, so stand outside the door and note which side the hinges are on before ordering. Finishes are Oil Rubbed Bronze and Matte Black, and both finishes come in either hand.
4) My door is 1-3/8 inch thick - will the Weslock 7624 Castletown work?
No. The 7624 Castletown adjusts to door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, with an option up to 2-1/4 inch, so a 1-3/8 inch door falls below its range. For thinner doors, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Weslock 7624 Castletown dummy handleset from another brand?
The Weslock 7624 Castletown is a dummy-function handleset in solid brass, so the nearest equivalents are the Emtek brass mortise entrance handlesets built in dummy function: the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan. All four share the dummy function with the 7624, meaning a fixed exterior plate and handle with no latch or bolt operation. The difference is styling and series - Memphis, Hamilton, Melrose, and Manhattan are separate Emtek designs, while the 7624 carries Weslock Castletown styling with a Carlow lever and belongs to the Molten Bronze collection.
6) I need a handleset that actually locks, not a dummy - what should I order instead of the Weslock 7624?
The 7624 Castletown is non-keyed dummy trim, so it will not secure an opening. For a keyed entry handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry handleset, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3 single cylinder keyed handlesets. Baldwin's Estates 6542 Tremont is offered in both single cylinder and double cylinder entry mortise trim. Check door thickness before you pick: the Schlage F60 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and the Kwikset 687 handlesets list 1-3/4 inch, while the 7624 adjusts from 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
7) Is the Schlage JE285 Barcelona a substitute for the Weslock 7624 since both are non-keyed?
They are not the same thing. The Weslock 7624 Castletown is a dummy handleset - the handle is fixed and operates nothing. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry function handleset, meaning the lever retracts a latch even though there is no key cylinder. If you need a working latch on an inactive-looking door, the JE285 is the one that moves; if you are trimming a fixed inactive leaf of a double door, the 7624 is the correct type. Door thickness also differs: the JE285 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch versus 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch on the 7624.
8) How big is the Castletown handleset plate and how far does the grip stick out?
The handleset measures 18-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches with a 2-3/4 inch projection. That projection matters if you have a storm door or screen door in front of the opening, since the grip needs clearance to swing past it.
9) Is this Weslock handleset rated for commercial use?
It is a residential product. The Castletown is listed as exceeding ANSI A156.2 Grade II lock standards, but for a commercial opening you would normally be looking at a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock rather than a residential handleset.
10) Can I use the Weslock Castletown dummy on the inactive leaf of a French or double door?
That is the normal use for it. With no bolt or cylinder, it gives you a matching grip and lever on the fixed leaf while flush bolts or a surface bolt hold that panel. Order it in the same finish and the correct hand so it mirrors the active leaf.
11) Are there solid brass handleset alternatives to the Weslock 7624 Castletown in the same material?
Yes. The 7624 Castletown is solid brass. Deltana offers several solid brass handlesets in entry function: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston. Emtek's 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan are brass mortise handlesets built in dummy function, which matches the 7624 function as well as its material.
12) What handleset should I use if I want a keypad or smart lock instead of the Weslock 7624 Castletown?
The 7624 Castletown is a mechanical dummy handleset with no keyed or electronic function. For electronic operation, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same handleset combination; both list a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, which overlaps the 7624 range of 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs with a contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt and lists 1-3/4 inch door thickness.
13) Weslock 7624 versus Baldwin Wesley handleset - what is the difference?
Function is the dividing line. The Weslock 7624 Castletown is a dummy handleset with a Carlow lever, non-keyed and fixed. The Baldwin Wesley handlesets are entrance function, offered with an Alcott knob on the 180WYHXATK and a Carnaby knob on the 180WYHXCYK. So beyond the styling difference, the Baldwin pair operates a latch and the Weslock does not, and the Baldwin interior trim is a knob rather than a lever.
14) The Weslock 7624 needs a specific hand - is there a handleset that avoids handing and backset guesswork?
The 7624 Castletown is ordered in left hand or right hand and is prepared for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. If you would rather not commit to a fixed backset, the Sure-Loc handlesets are built with an adjustable backset: the AN507 Aspen single cylinder keyed entry, the MA507 Madison keyed entry, the AT507 Alta tubular, and the CR507 Coral. Note those are working handlesets rather than dummy trim, so they are a swap only if the opening needs a latch.
15) Can I use the Weslock 7624 Castletown where an interconnected lock is called for?
No. The 7624 Castletown is non-keyed dummy trim with no latch or deadbolt action. An interconnected assembly is a different product: the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in the JI series, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the drawing calls for single-motion egress or a latch tied to a deadbolt, the JI18/19 answers that and the 7624 does not.
16) Is the Weslock Castletown handleset solid brass or a plated casting?
Solid molten brass through the body, part of Weslock's Molten Bronze Series, with concealed installation screws so no fasteners show on the face. Available in Oil Rubbed Bronze and Matte Black.
