Baldwin 5106056RDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why does the Baldwin 5106 half dummy come in a right hand version - does handing matter on a dummy knob?
Handing is called out because the 5106 knob is a shaped, handed design, so the right hand version is oriented for a specific door. Order the hand that matches the door you are trimming. If you are trimming both leaves of a pair of French doors, you need one of each hand so the knobs mirror each other.
2) The door actually latches - what do I order instead of the Baldwin 5106 half dummy?
A half dummy like the Baldwin 5106 has no latch at all, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching but non-locking opening, passage sets include the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset, the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando passage leverset with round trim, Grade 2, and on the commercial side the Falcon B101 Grade 2 medium duty passage lever or the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
3) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin 5106 half dummy knob for a heavy-traffic door?
The Baldwin 5106 is a half dummy in a residential line, so for commercial openings look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed cylindrical lever dummy, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim, which is Grade 2 medium duty. Accentra also offers the 455LN Augusta, a heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock. All three are lever trim rather than a knob, so the look changes even though the dummy function is the same.
4) I need a dummy for both sides of a double door, not a single half dummy - what should I order instead of the Baldwin 5106?
The Baldwin 5106 half dummy knob covers one face of the door only. For a pair, Emtek sells dummy pairs in several trims: the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair. Those give you two dummy trims for an inactive leaf or a closet pair, with lever handles rather than a knob.
5) My door is 2 inches thick - what dummy or passage option covers that, since the Baldwin 5106 tops out at 1.75 inches?
The Baldwin 5106 half dummy is rated to a maximum door thickness of 1.75 inches. For thicker doors, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. All of these are latching passage sets rather than dummy trim.
6) Do I need to bore a 2-1/8 inch hole to mount the Baldwin 5106 half dummy?
No cross bore is required for the half dummy itself, since there is no latch or spindle passing through the door. The 2-1/8 inch standard prep is referenced because the Baldwin 5106 knob and 5048 rose share the same trim footprint as the matching keyed, privacy, and passage sets, so it covers an existing bore cleanly if you are swapping a functioning lock out for dummy trim.
7) How far does the Baldwin 5106 knob stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2.625 inches off the face of the door. That is the number to check against a door that swings back against a wall, a tight closet return, or a cabinet or appliance sitting close to the opening, since a dummy knob is pure pull trim and cannot be recessed.
8) What finishes does the Baldwin 5106 half dummy knob come in for matching the rest of my door hardware?
Eleven finishes: Polished Brass (003), Non-Lacquered Brass (031), Vintage Brass (033), Satin Brass (044), Polished Nickel (055), Satin Nickel (056), Graphite Nickel (076), Oil Rubbed Bronze (102), Venetian Bronze (112/11P), Satin Black (190), and Polished Chrome (260). Non-lacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than holding its original tone, which matters if you are trying to match knobs already installed in the same house.
9) I need dummy hardware for both sides of a pair of French doors - what are my options besides the Baldwin 5106?
The 5106 is sold as a single half dummy, so a pair means ordering two (one right hand, one left hand). If you would rather buy a matched pair in one part, Emtek sells dummy pairs in its Arts & Crafts, Hammered, and Cortina lever designs. For a single dummy lever instead of a knob, the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever or the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy are alternatives.
10) I ordered a dummy by mistake and actually need the door to latch - what should I get instead?
You need a passage set, which has a working latch and a 2-3/8 inch backset in the same bored prep. Residential options include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever (Grade 3, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors) or the Bravura Atlanta round trim passage leverset (Grade 2). For a commercial opening, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 or the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 passage lever are the equivalents.
11) Does the Baldwin 5106 half dummy come with the screws to mount it?
Mounting hardware for installing the trim on the door is included, so you do not need to source separate fasteners. What is not included is the catch that actually holds the door closed - a dummy knob has no latch, so a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch has to be ordered separately if the door does not already have one.
12) What looks like an alternative to the Baldwin 5106 half dummy but will not work as one?
Anything with a latch or cylinder is a different part. The Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever, the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with deadlocking latchbolt, and the Corbin Russwin CL33903 Grade 1 fail safe electrified lever all mount in a bored door prep but operate a latch or electrified function. The Baldwin 5106 is a half dummy with no latch and no locking feature, mounted as surface trim on one face.
13) Does the Baldwin 5106 half dummy have a round rose or a square one?
Round. The 5048 rose is a round trim, so it will sit flush over a round-footprint prep and it matches other Baldwin round-rose trim on adjacent doors. If your other openings use square trim, the rose shapes will not visually match.
14) I want a square rose instead of the round rose on the Baldwin 5106 - what are my options?
The Baldwin 5106 half dummy uses the 5048 round rose. If square trim is the design direction, the Bravura Tampa passage leverset comes with square trim, Grade 2, while the Bravura Miramar and Atlanta use round trim. Note the Tampa is a passage function with a latch, not a dummy.
