Baldwin 5105056LDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why does a dummy lever have a left hand version, and will the Baldwin 5105 LDM work on my door?
Lever handles are shaped to sweep in one direction, so even a non-latching dummy is handed for looks. The 5105.LDM is the left hand lever. Stand on the side of the door where the lever will be mounted: if the hinges are on your left, you want the left hand version. Put a left hand lever on a right hand opening and the lever will point the wrong way relative to the hinges.
2) Is the Baldwin 5105 lever suitable for a commercial or multi-family corridor door?
It is a residential product, not a commercial one. There is no grade rating behind it for high traffic openings, so for corridors, offices, and institutional doors go with a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial dummy trim instead, such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy or the BEST 7KC Series Grade 2 single dummy. Keep the Baldwin 5105 for residential interiors and high design residential work.
3) The door actually needs to latch - what should I use in place of the Baldwin 5105 dummy lever?
The Baldwin 5105 is a dummy: it is pull trim only, with no latch and no locking feature. If the door needs to latch closed, a passage lever is the right function. Residential options include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever, a Grade 3 passage set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset. Grade 2 choices include the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando passage leversets with round trim and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta in the 5300 Series.
4) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin 5105 half dummy lever for a heavy-traffic opening?
The Baldwin 5105 half dummy lever with the 5046 round rose is a residential dummy trim. For heavy-traffic commercial doors, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 1 heavy-duty non-keyed dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy-duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. Both serve the same pull-only purpose with a commercial ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating.
5) I need a dummy lever for a double door where both leaves get a handle - what should I order instead of the Baldwin 5105?
The Baldwin 5105 half dummy is a single surface-mounted lever for one side of one door. For a pair of doors where each leaf needs trim, Emtek sells dummy leversets as pairs, including the Arts & Crafts lever and Hammered lever in the Arts & Crafts and Hammered series, and the Cortina lever in the Classic Brass series - each a dummy pair. A medium-duty commercial option is the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim, which is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy ordered per leaf.
6) Will the Baldwin 5105 half dummy work on a 2 inch thick door?
The Baldwin 5105 half dummy lever is built for doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, with a 1.938 inch projection. For a thicker door, peers rated past 1-3/4 inch include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch - though those are latching functions rather than dummy trim.
7) What looks like a substitute for the Baldwin 5105 dummy lever but is not?
Passage levers are the common mix-up. The Design Hardware J75 and X75 flat passage levers, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 non-handed passage lever, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra passage lever all mount in the same 2-1/8 inch bore but carry a working latch, so they need a strike and latch prep the Baldwin 5105 half dummy does not use. Also not interchangeable: the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 1 privacy knob and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever, both privacy/bed/bath functions with a locking feature the 5105 dummy has none of.
8) Does a Baldwin 5105 half dummy need a bored hole in the door, or does it surface mount?
The 5105 series trim is built around the 2-1/8 inch standard bore prep, so it suits a door already prepped for a cylindrical lockset, which is what makes it an easy swap on an existing opening. On an unbored slab, a half dummy only needs the mounting fasteners into the face of the door, not a full cross bore and latch bore.
9) How far does the Baldwin 5105 lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 1.938 inches off the door face, with a 3.625 inch lever grip length. Worth checking on a closet or a door beside a wall return or a cabinet, because that projection is what decides whether the lever clears adjacent trim when the door is open.
10) What finishes can I get the Baldwin 5105 lever in to match the other doors in the house?
Eleven finishes: 003 Polished Brass, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 044 Satin Brass, 055 Polished Nickel, 056 Satin Nickel, 076 Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112/11P Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. Match the Baldwin finish number on your existing sets rather than the finish name, since names repeat across brands and the numbers do not.
11) I need dummy levers on both sides of a double door. Can I use the Baldwin 5105?
A half dummy is a single lever for one face, so two doors or two faces means two pieces, and you have to get the handing right on each. If you would rather buy one item that covers both faces, a dummy pair is the simpler order, for example the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina Lever Dummy (Pair) or the Emtek Arts and Crafts Lever Dummy (Pair).
12) What else do I have to order with the Baldwin 5105 dummy lever?
Nothing for the trim itself, but remember a dummy has no latch. If the door needs to stay shut, budget a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch separately, plus any strike for it. Baldwin publishes an installation guide for the 5105 series if you want the fastener layout before you start.
13) What is the difference between the Baldwin 5105 dummy and a passage lever?
Function, not looks. A passage lever has a working latch that retracts when you turn the handle, so the door stays closed on its own, and neither side locks. The 5105 half dummy is trim only. Both are non-keyed and non-locking, but only the passage set actually holds the door. Residential passage alternatives include the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton Grade 3 passage lever and the Bravura Atlanta round trim passage leverset.
14) Is there a locking or privacy version of the Baldwin 5105 lever?
Not in the dummy configuration, which has no privacy or locking feature at all. Baldwin pre-configures the 5105 in passage, privacy, and dummy functions, so if you want a bath or bedroom lock with the same lever and 5046 round rose, order the privacy function version instead of this one.
15) Is there a plainer dummy lever than the Baldwin 5105 for a rental unit closet?
The Baldwin 5105 half dummy pairs a 3-5/8 inch grip lever with the round 5046 rose in eleven finishes from polished brass to satin black. A simpler dummy lever option is the Callan Bentley, a Grade 2 dummy lever. On the commercial side the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium-duty single dummy trim lever. The difference is styling and finish breadth versus a single-look utility dummy.
16) Does handing matter when cross-shopping the Baldwin 5105 left hand dummy against other lever sets?
Yes. The Baldwin 5105 half dummy is ordered as a left hand lever, so the handing of the opening has to be confirmed before ordering. Several comparable levers avoid handing entirely: the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever are non-handed designs, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible. Those are latching passage functions, so they substitute only where the door needs a latch.
17) I need keyed entry on that door instead of the Baldwin 5105 dummy - what are the options?
The Baldwin 5105 half dummy has no cylinder. For keyed entry, Cal-Royal offers the AG00 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt. Hager's 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset with a deadbolt combo.
18) What shape is the rose on the Baldwin 5105, and will it cover the old plate marks?
The 5046 rose is round. If you are replacing a lever that had a square or rectangular rose, a round rose of a different diameter can leave the previous outline or fastener holes showing on the door face. Compare the old rose footprint before you pull the existing trim.
