Weslock 07980-2M2SL2D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to pick a door thickness when I order the Weslock Rockford handleset?
Yes, it's a required choice. You order it either as 1-3/4 to 2 inch (standard) or 2 to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the door edge before you order, because the two builds are not interchangeable. Keying is also a required selection, keyed different or keyed alike, and there's an optional field for a specific key code.
2) Can the Weslock 7980 go into an existing door bore, or do I need to redrill?
It drops into a standard residential prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bores top and bottom (the top will also work at 1-5/8 inch as an option), a 1 inch edge bore, and a minimum 5-1/2 inch center-to-center between the two cross holes. If your existing holes are closer together than 5-1/2 inches, the handleset won't line up.
3) Does the Rockford handleset work with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
Both. The latch is adjustable for 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so you don't have to know the backset before ordering. Faceplates are removable, and the latch faceplate measures 1 x 2-1/4 inches.
4) Will the Weslock 7980 latch into the strike plate already in my jamb?
It ships with its own strikes and they're the ones you should use. The deadbolt throws 1 inch, so the jamb needs to be bored deep enough to take a full 1 inch bolt. Strike options are a 2-1/4 inch full lip plus a 1 x 2-1/4 inch, in radius and square corner. The security strike uses 3 inch screws that reach the framing behind the jamb, which is the part that actually resists a kick.
5) Can I key the Weslock Rockford to match the other locks on my house?
Yes, within the Weslock keyway. It uses a 5-pin cylinder on the Weslock keyway, and keyed alike is a free option at order time, with a text field for a specific key code. Locks on other keyways (Kwikset SC1/KW1, Schlage C) won't key to it without a cylinder change.
6) What is the closest single cylinder keyed entry handleset alternative to the Weslock 7980 Rockford?
The Weslock 7980 Rockford is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with a Durham knob inside, adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset and a Weslock 5-pin cylinder. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison is also a single cylinder keyed entry handleset, paired with an Accent lever and rated Grade 2. The Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 is another single cylinder keyed entry handleset with an adjustable backset. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB series.
7) The Weslock 7980 Rockford uses a Weslock keyway. What if I need to key into an existing Schlage or Kwikset system?
The Weslock 7980 Rockford is built around a 5-pin Weslock keyway. If the building is already on another key system, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry handleset in the F Series, and the Kwikset 687AMD-SMC Amador uses an SC1 keyway with SmartKey. Match the keyway to the existing system before ordering so the set can be rekeyed into the master.
8) What does single cylinder mean on this Weslock entry handleset?
Single cylinder means key on the outside, thumbturn on the inside. The Rockford 7980 is an entry function handleset with a Durham knob on the interior. If you have glass within reach of the interior turn and your local code calls for a double cylinder, this is not the configuration you want.
9) Is the Weslock 7980 rated for a commercial entrance?
It's a residential handleset. The description states it exceeds ANSI A156.2 Grade II lock standards, but the product is catalogued for residential use, so for a multifamily common entrance or a commercial opening you'd normally be specifying a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock instead.
10) Is there a keypad or smart-lock handleset alternative to the Weslock 7980 Rockford?
The Weslock 7980 Rockford is a key-operated single cylinder handleset using a 5-pin Weslock keyway. For electronic access, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a handleset and Halifax lever with a Smartcode keypad electronic deadbolt. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Ridgefield combines a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with a handleset, and the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; both fit doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
11) I need the same handleset look on a door that does not need a key. What matches the Weslock 7980 Rockford?
The Weslock 7980 Rockford is a keyed entry handleset. For a non-keyed opening, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a Grade 2 handleset in a non-keyed entry function, and the Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan are brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function for inactive or surface-mounted use.
12) What are the alternatives to the Weslock 7980 Rockford if I want a knob rather than a lever on the inside?
The Weslock 7980 Rockford pairs its exterior handle with a Durham knob on the interior. Baldwin offers the Wesley handleset in entrance function with an Alcott knob (180WYHXATK) or a Carnaby knob (180WYHXCYK). Lever-trim alternatives include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever and the Kwikset San Clemente with Halifax lever.
13) Which handlesets besides the Weslock 7980 Rockford have an adjustable backset?
The Weslock 7980 Rockford ships with an adjustable latch that sets to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Sure-Loc offers adjustable-backset handlesets across several styles: the Aspen AN507 keyed entry, the Alta AT507 tubular, the Coral CR507, and the Madison MA507 keyed entry. That flexibility matters when you are standardizing across doors with mixed bore layouts.
14) Is the Kwikset 687 Amador a replacement for the Weslock 7980 Rockford?
Only partly. The Weslock 7980 Rockford is a complete single cylinder entry set with an exterior handle and an interior Durham knob. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is supplied exterior only and is rated Grade 3 for a 1-3/4 inch door; it is available with SmartKey (687AMD-S) or with SC1 keyway SmartKey (687AMD-SMC). The Kwikset 687BW Belleview is the same exterior-only arrangement in a different style.
15) I need a handleset for an apartment door with an interconnected deadbolt instead of the Weslock 7980 Rockford. What works?
The Weslock 7980 Rockford is a single cylinder entry handleset with an entry lock function. For an interconnected arrangement where retracting the interior lever pulls both latches, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
16) Will the mounting screws show on the face of the Weslock Rockford handleset?
No, the installation screws are concealed. The interior knob is also removable during install so the finish doesn't get scratched while you're setting the plate, which matters on Oil Rubbed Bronze and Matte Black where a scuff shows.
17) I want a solid brass handleset like the Weslock 7980 Rockford. What else is solid brass?
The Weslock 7980 Rockford is built from solid molten brass in the Molten Bronze collection. Deltana also builds solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston are all entry-function solid brass handlesets. Emtek's 3002 Memphis and 3005 Melrose are brass mortise entrance handlesets, though in dummy function.
