Yale Expressions Everly Entry Set
Colonial-Style Hardware That Gets the Job Done
Doors & Millwork Yale ExpressionsThe Yale Expressions Everly Entry Set delivers traditional Colonial aesthetics with Grade 3 security for residential applications. ANSI Grade 3 (Standard residential security) certification means it’s built for normal home use, not high-traffic commercial installations. At approximately 7 lbs with Solid Brass components, this entry set targets contractors working on traditional-style homes who need reliable hardware.
The Everly sits in Yale Expressions’ value tier — It offers solid brass trim with standard Grade 3 internal components. That positioning matters. You’re getting genuine brass construction for a standard residential project.
Installation Specifications
The Everly fits the standard door prep that Montana contractors deal with daily:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Door Thickness | 1-3/8” to 1-3/4” (Standard residential) |
| Backset | Adjustable 2-3/8” or 2-3/4” |
| Face Bore | 2-1/8” |
| Edge Bore | 1” |
| Center-to-Center | 5-1/2” (Standard for entry sets) |
| Latch | Adjustable radius-corner latch (1” x 2-1/4”) |
The Standard door prep (2-1/8” face bore, 1” edge bore) requirement means no special jigs or non-standard boring. Interchangeable 2-3/8” and 2-3/4” backset plates included. That dual-backset feature saves callbacks when the door’s already hung and the homeowner bought the wrong backset.
Universal (fits both left- and right-handed doors) handing eliminates the guessing game at the supply counter. Lever sets are universally handed but may require selection of handing at purchase or adjustment during installation.
Keyway Flexibility and Security Features
The standard configuration comes with Schlage (SC1) standard; options for Kwikset (KW1) or Weiser (WR5) keyways. That flexibility matters when matching existing systems or building out a keyed-alike project. Can be keyed-alike to other Schlage, Kwikset, or Weiser locks depending on the chosen cylinder option.
The Grade 3 rating sets realistic expectations. This isn’t a high-security commercial lock. It’s residential hardware that meets ANSI standards for normal home use. The Solid Brass components provide durability beyond what you’d get from zinc alloy alternatives.
Exterior entry trim (Everly Rosette/Grip) comes with everything needed: interior trim, adjustable latch, cylinder with two keys, deadbolt assembly for single-cylinder sets, strike plates, and mounting hardware. Installation guides are typically included in the box and reference standard Yale Expressions tubular entry set procedures.
Warranty Coverage
mechanical: Limited Lifetime Warranty (Original residential user); finish: 5-Year Limited Finish Warranty (covers tarnish and damage); exclusions: Excludes labor, shipping, commercial use, and misuse. The lifetime mechanical warranty applies to original residential users only — commercial installations void the coverage. Five years on finish is standard for the industry, though Montana’s UV exposure and temperature swings will test any finish warranty.
Bottom Line
The Everly Entry Set works for contractors who need Colonial-style hardware. Colonial styling suits Montana’s historic home renovations and traditional new builds. The Designed to meet ANSI Grade 3 standards for residential value and security means setting proper expectations with homeowners — this is everyday residential security, not fortress-grade protection.
Standard bore wood or metal doors. 1-3/8” – 1-3/4”. compatibility covers the vast majority of residential installations. Multiple keyway options reduce inventory headaches. Solid brass construction beats the zinc alternatives.
Limited specific user reviews available on major retail platforms; most retailers (MyKnobs, DirectDoorHardware) list ‘No reviews yet’. The lack of reviews makes field performance harder to gauge, but the Grade 3 certification and lifetime mechanical warranty provide baseline assurance.
