Quick answer
Choose the Yale Pedestal Handleset if you want a complete entry set with a handle and deadbolt in one unit. Choose the 83 Select Deadbolt if you already have a separate handle or knob and want a standalone, high-grade deadbolt.
What sets them apart
The Pedestal Handleset and 83 Select Deadbolt serve different roles on your front door. The handleset combines a lever handle and a deadbolt into a single, cohesive unit. The deadbolt is a standalone lock that works with your existing handle or knob. This difference affects installation, cost, and the final look of your door.
Both products are part of the YH Collection™, which emphasizes ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 commercial quality and a legacy of design refinement. That means you get reliable performance either way, but the choice comes down to your door's existing setup and your personal style preferences.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Installation effort: The Pedestal Handleset requires a larger door prep to accommodate both the handle and deadbolt in one unit. The 83 Select Deadbolt fits a standard deadbolt hole and works with your existing handle.
- Cost and value: The Pedestal Handleset costs more upfront (catalog price USD 146.16) but bundles handle and deadbolt. The 83 Select Deadbolt is more affordable (USD 34.51) if you already have a handle. Consider your total door hardware budget, not just the lock price.
- Style and coordination: The handleset offers a coordinated look with matching finishes and functions. The deadbolt gives you flexibility to mix and match with different handles or styles.
