The Estate 6321 body is a 2-1/2 inch backset, meaning the centerline of the knob or lever spindle sits 2-1/2 inches from the door edge. That is the standard residential mortise backset, not the 2-3/4 inch used on most commercial mortise locks, so it will not drop into a pocket cut for a 2-3/4 inch body without the trim holes landing off center. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the existing spindle hole before ordering.

Emergency egress means one motion from the inside retracts both the latch and the deadbolt, so anyone inside gets out without stopping to turn a thumbturn first. On the 6321 that is an entry function body, handleset on the outside and lever on the inside. For a landlord or property manager this is the configuration that keeps a keyed double-sided look from trapping someone behind a thrown deadbolt.

What is described here is the 6321 mortise lock body, the mechanism that goes inside the door edge. The exterior handleset, the interior lever, roses or escutcheons, and the cylinder are separate Estate Series items chosen for the look you want. Order the body for function, handing and backset; order the trim for appearance and finish.

The Baldwin Estate 6321 lock body is supplied handed - Right Hand Reverse - so it has to match the opening. If you want to take handing out of the ordering decision, the BEST 45HCAC mortise lock body is field reversible, the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock is also field reversible, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise deadbolt is supplied with no handing at all. Note those are different functions: the Baldwin is an Entry lock, the Falcon is passage, and the Ilco 185 is a deadbolt only.

The Baldwin Estate 6321 mortise lock body is an Entry function unit rated for residential use, so for a commercial entrance the Cal-Royal NM8050 is the closer fit - it is a heavy duty Grade 1 Entrance/Office mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST 45HCAC is another option, a heavy duty Public Entrance mortise lock body with field reversible operation, which removes the handing decision the Baldwin requires.

The Baldwin Estate 6321 mortise lock body is built on a 2-1/2 inch backset, so it will not land on a 2-3/4 inch prep. The Hager 3800 Series covers that dimension - the 3810S passage with rose and the 3810E passage with escutcheon are both 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, and the 3850E is the office function on the same 2-3/4 inch backset. The Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt is also 2-3/4 inch backset.

No. The Baldwin Estate 6321 is a working Entry mortise lock body with a 1 inch throw deadbolt and emergency egress. The Emtek 3102 Memphis, along with the 3104 Hamilton, 3106 Manhattan and 3019 Brisbane, are dummy function mortise entrance locksets - they mount trim for appearance and do not latch or lock. Use those on an inactive leaf of a pair, not as the operating half of an entrance.

The Baldwin Estate 6321 provides Entry function with emergency egress and a 1 inch throw deadbolt on a 2-1/2 inch backset. For a rated commercial equivalent, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty Corridor/Dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, which gives the same free-egress-with-deadbolt behavior on a Grade 1 body. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress mortise lock if you want pushbutton and card credentials on that opening.

It covers doors 1-3/8 inches and over, so both a 1-3/8 inch interior slab and a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door are in range. Thicker custom entry doors are also within the stated range, which matters on the heavy solid entry doors Estate trim usually goes on.

The Baldwin Estate 6321 is a mechanical Entry mortise lock body. For code or credential entry on a mortise prep, the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock, the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override, and the BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. The Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 uses RFID with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2 if you want credentials rather than codes.

The Baldwin Estate 6321 is a full Entry mortise lock body with a 1 inch throw deadbolt plus latching, operated handleset by lever. If all you need is the bolt, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a mortise deadbolt supplied unhanded. Neither provides the latch or lever operation the 6321 carries, so they suit a secondary bolt above a separate latchset rather than a one-piece entrance.

The Baldwin Estate 6321 mortise lock body is prepped for an ASA strike with a 1-1/4 inch by 8 inch latch faceplate. Among mortise locksets, the Marks USA LA318GJ classroom security indicator lockset ships with an ANSI strike, which is the same standard strike family. Confirm the existing frame cutout against the faceplate dimension before committing either way.

The Baldwin Estate 6321 is an Entry function mortise lock, which is not a classroom or storeroom function. For classroom, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch. For storeroom, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with Arcadia lever and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom lockset with an interchangeable core option.

Brass and steel. Brass components with steel working parts, which is what you want on an exterior entry door where the body sits inside the door and the trim carries the finish.

Oil Rubbed Bronze, Baldwin finish code 102. If you are matching other Estate hardware in the house, 102 is a living finish that darkens and wears through at the touch points over time, so new pieces will not look identical to ten-year-old ones out of the box.
