Baldwin Two Point Entry Handlesets

Choosing Baldwin Two-Point Entry Handlesets

Baldwin two-point entry handlesets are a specialized entry-hardware format and should be matched to the exact door preparation and product family. The active assortment includes Soho and Landon handlesets in both single cylinder and double cylinder versions. The collection can also contain multi-point trim products, so verify whether the listing is a complete two-point handleset or trim intended for another compatible locking system.

Cylinder function is a major distinction. Single cylinder versions use an exterior key cylinder with an interior thumbturn, while double cylinder versions require a key on both sides. Double cylinder operation can affect emergency egress and may be restricted by applicable codes or project requirements, so suitability should be confirmed before selecting that function.

Two-point hardware uses model-specific mounting and operating geometry. Check handing, bore locations, spacing between operating points, exterior grip mounting dimensions, door thickness, and any edge preparation. Existing conventional handleset holes should not be assumed to fit a two-point product. When replacing an installed Baldwin set, the existing series and dimensional drawing are the best references.

Interior trim, cylinders, and other components can vary by model and function. Review what is included, then compare finish and style only after the mechanical requirements are confirmed. This is particularly important when coordinating two-point entry hardware with other Baldwin levers, knobs, deadbolts, or Estate trim throughout the home.
