Baldwin BAL-5108.031.RDM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a half dummy lever and does the Baldwin 5108 actually latch the door?
A half dummy is a pull only. The Baldwin 5108 with 5048 rose mounts one lever on one face of the door, with no latch, no spindle through the door, and no locking or privacy function. It does not hold a door closed, so it belongs on a closet door with a ball or roller catch, an inactive leaf of a pair, or a false drawer front. If the door needs to latch, you want a passage set instead.
2) Does the RIGHT hand designation on the Baldwin 5108 dummy lever matter, or can I flip it?
Handing matters on a lever this shape, and the 5108 is sold as a right hand unit. Baldwin lists the lever handing as reversible, meaning the same lever body covers the mirrored condition, but order the hand that matches the door so the lever sweeps toward the latch edge. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, that is a right hand door.
3) What door prep does the Baldwin 5108 half dummy need? Do I have to bore a new hole?
It goes on the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, the same prep a normal tubular lockset uses, with a 2-3/8 inch backset. So if you are pulling a passage or privacy set off a closet door and putting the dummy in its place, the existing holes work. On a fresh door with no prep, some installers surface mount a dummy without boring at all, but Baldwin specs this one to the 2-1/8 inch prep.
4) I need a matching dummy for a closet next to a Baldwin Estate lever. Will the Baldwin 5108 match?
The 5108 is an Estate Series lever on the 5048 round rose, so it matches other Estate Series trim carried on the same lever and rose combination. For a fleet of doors, the thing to match is the lever number, the rose number, and the finish code, not just the finish name. Eleven finishes are offered: 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.
5) I need a dummy lever on both sides of a door. Is one Baldwin 5108 enough?
No. The 5108 is a half dummy, which is a single lever for one face only. A double door or a French pair that needs a pull on each face takes two units, or a dummy sold as a pair. Emtek lists its Arts and Crafts, Hammered and Cortina levers as dummy pairs if you would rather order one part number and get both sides.
6) I ordered a Baldwin 5108 dummy but the door actually needs to close and stay shut. What should I get instead?
You want a passage set, not a dummy. It looks the same from the hallway but carries a latchbolt operated by both levers with no lock. Options that fit a similar 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door: the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever, or on the commercial side the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Keep the dummy only for the leaf that never moves.
7) What is a commercial-grade alternative to a Baldwin 5108 half dummy lever?
The Baldwin 5108 with 5048 rose is a half dummy lever, a non-turning pull with no latch. For a commercial-duty equivalent, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a single dummy trim cylindrical lever in Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. Both serve the same purpose - a fixed lever on an inactive leaf or a closet slab - built to a commercial grade rather than the residential Estate Series construction of the 5108.
8) What dummy lever should I use if I need a pair for a double door instead of a single half dummy?
The Baldwin 5108 RDM is a half dummy, meaning trim for one side of the door only. When both faces of an inactive leaf need a lever, the Emtek Arts & Crafts Lever dummy is supplied as a pair, as are the Emtek Hammered Lever dummy and the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina Lever dummy. Ordering a pair covers both faces in one item rather than buying two half dummies.
9) I ordered a Baldwin 5108 half dummy but the door needs to latch closed - what do I order instead?
A half dummy has no latch and no turning function, so it will not hold a door shut. For a door that needs to latch but not lock, a passage lever is the correct function: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Bravura Atlanta passage leverset is a Grade 2 with round trim, which matches the round rose profile of the Baldwin. A dummy and a passage lever look nearly identical on the door, which is why this is the most common mis-order.
10) Can I use a Baldwin 5108 half dummy on a fire-rated opening?
A half dummy carries no latch, so it cannot hold a fire door closed and latched. Where the opening is fire rated, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Reserve the Baldwin 5108 for non-rated inactive leaves and closet slabs.
11) How far does the Baldwin 5108 lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2.375 inches off the face, with a 4 inch lever grip. That matters where the door swings back against a wall, in a tight closet return, or next to trim, because a dummy lever has no clutch and takes the hit directly. Measure your clearance before committing on a narrow reveal.
12) What comes in the box with the Baldwin 5108 dummy lever, and do I need anything else?
The set ships with the lever, the 5048 round rose and the mounting hardware to fix it to the door. Because a dummy has no latch, nothing is included to hold the door shut. On a closet or an inactive leaf you will need to supply the catch separately, typically a roller or ball catch and its strike, plus a stop or bumper given the 2.375 inch lever projection.
13) Is there a dummy lever that costs less to spec across a lot of closet doors than the Baldwin 5108?
For a lighter-duty dummy across many openings, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever in the Bentley series, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever. Both give the same fixed-lever function as the Baldwin 5108 half dummy at a commercial Grade 2 rather than the solid-brass Estate Series construction, which is the usual choice when the lever is decorative and the traffic is light.
14) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what lever works where the Baldwin 5108 will not?
The Baldwin 5108 half dummy fits doors from 1.37 inches to 1.75 inches thick. Above that, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummies, so confirm the opening actually needs a latch before substituting.
15) What is the difference between the Baldwin 5108 half dummy and a Kwikset 200DL passage lever?
The Baldwin 5108 with 5048 rose is a half dummy: a fixed lever on one face, no latch, no turn. The Kwikset 200DL Delta is a passage door lock for interior hall and closet use, Grade 3, reversible, and supplied with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. If the door has a bored latch prep and needs to stay shut, the 200DL is the functional part; the 5108 is trim only.
16) Is the Baldwin 5108 lever solid brass, and how does the Satin Nickel finish hold up?
The Satin Nickel option is nickel plated over solid brass, applied as a PVD finish, which is what gives it the brass weight with a matte silver tone. PVD wears better than a lacquered plating on a door that gets handled daily. Non-Lacquered Brass, by contrast, is meant to patina over time rather than stay bright, so pick that one only if the living finish is what you are after.
17) I need a square rose instead of the round rose on the Baldwin 5108 - what are my options?
The Baldwin 5108 uses the 5048 rose, a round lever rose. Where the design calls for square trim, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. Among round-trim peers, the Bravura Miramar passage leverset is offered in US4 satin brass at Grade 2 and the Bravura Orlando is a Grade 2 round-trim passage leverset. Note those are passage function, not dummy, so the door will latch.
18) Will a keyless or keypad lever work in the same opening as a Baldwin 5108 dummy?
No - a half dummy is trim without a latch or cylinder, so an opening prepped only for a 5108 will not carry a keyless lever without a latch bore. Where access control is actually needed, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is passage function and ADA compliant with a 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch door range, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
19) What matches the Baldwin 5108 dummy when the adjacent doors need a keyed or privacy lever?
The Baldwin 5108 half dummy handles the inactive leaf or closet. On the doors around it, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever. Lever shape and finish will differ from the Baldwin, so match visually before committing a whole floor.
