Plymouth Trim Front Entry Handleset with Accent Lever - Aged Bronze

Our review of the Plymouth Trim Front Entry Handleset with Accent Lever in Aged Bronze finds it best suited for homeowners who want a secure, traditional-looking exterior handle that installs quickly. The single biggest reason to consider this handleset is its emphasis on security: a 1-in hardened steel deadbolt with anti-drill plates and anti-pick pins provides strong protection for a primary entrance. The finish and design make it a good match for classic or transitional doors, and the package includes two keys so it is ready to use right away.

Key Features

• Advanced security features: A 1-in deadbolt with a hardened steel spinning pin and anti-drill plates helps resist common forced entry techniques, improving peace of mind for an exterior door.
• Certified highest security: Grade 1/AAA BHMA certification means the lock meets rigorous standards for security, durability and finish for long-term reliability.
• Easy installation: Self-aligning screw holes and a design that requires only a screwdriver make replacement straightforward for most DIYers.
• Hassle-free fit: Universal latches and an adjustable throughbolt accommodate 2-3/8-in or 2-3/4-in backsets and common door thicknesses without extra drilling.
• Left handed orientation: The lever is designed for left handed doors, ensuring the inside lever points toward the hinges for correct operation on those installations.

Who It's For

The Plymouth handleset is ideal for homeowners and renovators replacing an existing front door handle who want a strong, tested lockset with a classic aesthetic. It works well where security is a priority but a decorative, coordinated exterior grip and interior lever are also desired, and it suits left handed doors specifically.

It is less appropriate for those who need a right handed lever or who require a non-standard door thickness beyond 1-3/8-in to 1-7/8-in. Buyers who expect a specific custom finish longevity beyond normal wear should note mixed customer feedback on long-term finish durability.
