Baldwin 5106056LDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a half dummy knob actually do, and does it latch?
A half dummy is trim only. The Baldwin 5106 half dummy knob with 5048 rose mounts on one face of the door and does not turn, retract a latch, or lock anything. It is a pull. Use it on a closet door, a false door, or the inactive leaf of a double door where you want the same knob look without a working latch. If you need the door to stay closed, you need a passage set with a latch instead.
2) Do I need to bore a new hole for a dummy knob, or does it use the standard 2-1/8 inch prep?
The 5106 uses the standard 2.125 inch door preparation with a 2-3/8 inch backset, so it drops onto a door already bored for a knob set. Being a half dummy, there is no latch to install, so no edge bore work is required if the door is new.
3) What is the closest dummy alternative to the Baldwin 5106 half dummy knob for a commercial opening that needs a Grade 1 rating?
The Baldwin 5106 is a half dummy residential trim set. When a job calls for a graded commercial dummy instead, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy lever trim. Both are lever designs rather than the Baldwin knob, so the aesthetic changes with the swap.
4) I need a dummy handle on both sides of a double door - is the Baldwin 5106 the right part?
No. The Baldwin 5106 is a half dummy, meaning a single non-operating trim for one face of the door. For both faces you want a dummy pair, such as the Emtek Arts & Crafts lever dummy pair, the Emtek Hammered lever dummy pair, or the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair, all of which ship as pairs.
5) The Baldwin 5106 does not latch. What should I order for a closet or hall door that needs to stay shut?
The 5106 is dummy function, so it has no latch at all. For a latching non-locking door, passage sets include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Bravura Atlanta Grade 2 round-trim passage leverset, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock rated for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
6) Can I use the Baldwin 5106 on a bathroom or bedroom door that needs privacy?
No. The Baldwin 5106 has no privacy or locking feature. For privacy function, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a non-keyed privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob.
7) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what can I use instead of the Baldwin 5106?
The Baldwin 5106 covers doors from 1.37 to 1.75 inches thick. For thicker slabs, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead entry levers cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon K101 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
8) How far does the Baldwin 5106 knob stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2.625 inches. That matters where the door swings against a wall, a return, or a cabinet, and for clearance on a narrow hallway or a bi-fold application. The rose is round.
9) It says left hand, but is the 5106 dummy reversible?
Baldwin lists the handing as reversible for this set. That said, it is ordered as the left hand half dummy, so if you are matching a pair of doors or a specific leaf, order the hand you actually want rather than relying on field reversal.
10) What finishes does the Baldwin 5106 half dummy come in for matching the rest of my door hardware?
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 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. Order the same Baldwin finish number used on the working locksets in the house and the dummy will match them.
11) What if I actually need the closet door to latch shut instead of a dummy?
Then a passage set is the part, not the 5106 dummy. Passage locksets have a working latch and no locking feature. In lever form, the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset and the Bravura Atlanta round trim Grade 2 passage leverset both cover interior hall and closet duty; for a Grade 1 commercial closet, the Dexter C1000 passage lever fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) What is a lever-style dummy equivalent to the Baldwin 5106 round rose knob?
If the door needs a lever rather than a knob but the same non-operating dummy behavior, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed single dummy lever trim. The Baldwin 5106 itself pairs a knob with a round rose.
13) Does the Baldwin 5106 accept a key, and what should I look at if I need a keyed opening?
The Baldwin 5106 is a dummy and takes no cylinder or key. For keyed entry, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock, and the Master Lock RL Series is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever.
14) For a school or institutional corridor, what replaces the Baldwin 5106 dummy trim?
The Baldwin 5106 is a residential half dummy and is not intended for graded institutional openings. Institutional options include the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 classroom lever and the Grade 1 classroom security lever, both for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lock, which is fire rated for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
15) Does the Baldwin 5106 dummy come with the screws and hardware to mount it?
Mounting hardware is included, so no separate kit is needed to fasten the knob and 5048 rose to the door. There is no latch or strike in the box because a half dummy does not use one.
16) Is there a Baldwin dummy lever option, or is the 5106 knob only?
The 5106 is the knob with the 5048 round rose. If your other openings are levered rather than knobbed, a dummy lever is the matching part. The Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever and the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever are lever dummies we carry.
17) Is an electronic keypad lever a substitute for the Baldwin 5106?
No - they solve different problems. The Baldwin 5106 is a non-operating half dummy trim with no locking feature. Keypad units like the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset, and the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock for 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors control access; they are not dummy trim.
18) I want a square rose instead of the round rose on the Baldwin 5106 - what are my options?
The Baldwin 5106 uses a round rose. For squared trim, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim; round-trim peers in the same Bravura line include the Orlando and the Miramar Grade 2 passage leversets. Note those are passage function with a latch, not dummy trim.
