Yale Ellington Entry Set with Passage/Privacy Sets (YDM.0003)

Yale’s Ellington Entry Set offers contractors adjustable installation flexibility with 2-3/8” or 2-3/4” backset options and universal handing, reducing inventory needs while meeting Grade 3 residential standards. The YDM.0003 display configuration includes one main exterior entry handleset and coordinating interior passage or privacy sets — a complete door hardware solution that simplifies ordering for whole-house projects.

The set fits standard 2-1/8” face bore and 1” edge bore preparations, making it compatible with virtually any residential door prep. Universal/field reversible handing means contractors don’t need to stock separate left-hand and right-hand versions. For Montana builders dealing with varied floor plans and last-minute door swing changes, that flexibility matters.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The hardware accommodates door thicknesses from 1-3/8” to 1-3/4” — standard residential range. The adjustable tubular latch works with either 2-3/8” or 2-3/4” backset measurements, eliminating the guesswork and callbacks when existing door preps don’t match expectations.

Multiple keyway compatibility — Schlage SC1 (5-pin) standard, with Kwikset (KW1) and Weiser (WR5) optional — lets contractors match existing hardware systems across Montana communities. Removable cylinders allow easy re-keying without specialized tools, a real advantage when property managers need to change locks between tenants.

Available finishes include Oil-Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), and Satin Brass (US4). That range covers most residential design preferences without forcing special orders.

Performance Standards and Warranty Coverage

ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 Certified for residential security/value grade means the hardware meets recognized industry standards for residential applications. Grade 3 handles 200,000 cycles — plenty for residential use where a front door might see 10-20 cycles daily.

The limited lifetime mechanical warranty backs the moving parts. The 5-year finish warranty covers the aesthetic coating — though Montana’s UV exposure at elevation tends to fade south-facing door hardware faster than manufacturer estimates suggest.

The hardware works with both wood and metal doors, covering the full range of residential entry applications. Radius corner strikes and faceplates come included — no separate orders needed for standard installations.

The Bottom Line

Yale’s Ellington Entry Set solves real contractor problems: adjustable components that reduce callbacks, multiple keyway options that match existing systems, and universal handing that cuts inventory requirements. The YDM.0003 configuration includes 1 entry set plus 4 passage and privacy sets — enough coordinating hardware for typical residential projects.

For Montana contractors tired of stocking multiple SKUs for different backsets and handing options, this adjustability pays off. The Grade 3 certification meets code requirements without the premium pricing of Grade 1 commercial hardware. Solid zinc alloy construction handles temperature swings better than pot metal alternatives.

Not perfect. No active user reviews found on major retail sites means real-world performance data remains thin. The 5-year finish warranty seems optimistic for bronze finishes facing Montana’s intense UV. But for builders who need versatile, code-compliant entry hardware that installs without drama, the Ellington delivers what matters.
