- Borehole Configuration: Confirm your door has the correct boreholes (spacing and diameter) for the handleset's specific design.

Frequently Asked Questions About Handlesets
Q: What is a handleset?
A: A handleset is an exterior door lock and handle combination that typically features a decorative grip handle below a keyed deadbolt. It offers both aesthetic appeal and enhanced security for your front entry.
Q: What's the difference between a single cylinder and double cylinder handleset?
A: A single cylinder handleset has a keyhole on the outside and a thumb-turn on the inside for locking. A double cylinder handleset requires a key for both the exterior and interior, offering more security but potentially posing a fire safety risk if a key isn't readily available for emergency exit.
Q: Can I install a handleset myself?
A: Installing a handleset can be a DIY project for those with basic tools and some experience. However, given it's for your main entry, professional installation is often recommended to ensure proper alignment, functionality, and maximum security.
Q: Do handlesets come with matching interior hardware?
A: Yes, handlesets typically come as a set that includes the exterior handleset, a matching interior knob or lever, and the deadbolt mechanism, ensuring a cohesive look on both sides of your door.
Q: Are smart handlesets more secure than traditional ones?
A: Smart handlesets offer advanced security features like tamper alarms, remote locking/unlocking, and audit trails of entry. While their electronic components add layers of security, the core mechanical deadbolt often provides comparable physical resistance to traditional high-security handlesets.
