Baldwin BAL-5112.260.LDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does a Baldwin 5112 half dummy need a 2-1/8 inch bore hole in the door?
No hole is needed. A half dummy screws to the face of the door, so there is no cross bore and no latch mortise to prep. That matters if you are putting a dummy on a closet door that was never drilled. If you're replacing an existing lockset and want to cover a 2-1/8 inch bore, check that the 5075 round rose is wide enough to hide it before you pull the old lock.
2) It says left hand but also reversible. Do I have to order the 5112 handed?
The lever itself is reversible, so the same part can be turned to suit either swing. The left hand designation describes how it ships oriented. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, that's a left hand door. Since a half dummy has no latch, handing here is purely about which way the lever points down.
3) I need dummy levers on both sides of a French door pair. Is one Baldwin 5112 enough?
No. Half dummy means one lever for one face, so a pair of doors with a lever on each active face needs two. If you want a dummy that comes as a matched pair in the box, Emtek sells its Arts and Crafts, Hammered, and Cortina levers as dummy pairs.
4) What is the difference between a half dummy and a passage lever for a closet door?
A passage lever has a working latch that holds the door closed and retracts when you push the lever down. A half dummy is a fixed pull with no latch at all, so the door needs a ball catch, magnet, or roller catch to stay shut. Choose the dummy when the door already has a catch or is inoperable; choose passage when the door has to latch. Passage options range from the residential Kwikset 200BRNL Breton up to the Grade 1 Falcon K101, which is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
5) The door actually needs to latch shut - what takes the place of a Baldwin 5112 dummy lever?
A half dummy has no latch and no working mechanism, so a door that must stay closed needs a passage set instead. Passage function levers in the same residential and light commercial space include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Callan Asheville, a Grade 3 passage leverset; and the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando passage leversets with round trim, both Grade 2. The Bravura round trim is the nearest match to the round rose shape of the 5112.
6) What is the closest commercial-grade equivalent to a Baldwin 5112 half dummy lever?
The Baldwin 5112 is a half dummy lever, meaning a single non-turning lever with no latch. On the commercial side the same idea is sold as dummy trim: the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty version of the same single dummy trim. Accentra also builds the 455LN Augusta as a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock. All three carry an ANSI grade, which the residential 5112 line is built for a different market than.
7) I need a dummy lever on both sides of a double door - what do I order instead of two half dummies?
Emtek sells dummy leversets as a pair rather than a single side: the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair are all dummy function sold as a pair. The Baldwin 5112 half dummy is a single-side lever, so a pair of doors or a two-sided application takes either two of them or one of the Emtek pairs.
8) Is a passage lever the same thing as a dummy lever?
No. A dummy lever such as the Baldwin 5112 half dummy is fixed trim with no latch behind it. A passage lever such as the Falcon B101, a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, or the Falcon K101, a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, has a working latch that retracts when the lever is turned. Ordering a passage set where a dummy was specified means cutting a latch bore the door may not have.
9) My door is 2 inches thick - the Baldwin 5112 will not cover it, what lever will?
The Baldwin 5112 covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For a 2 inch door, the Deltana Manchester 6201, Morant 6411 and Linstead 6431 entry levers all list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, as does the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with Withnell design. The Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock reaches further still at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
10) How far does the Baldwin 5112 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the lever?
Projection is 2.6 inches off the face of the door and the lever grip measures 4.7 inches. Worth checking those two numbers against a door that opens into a tight hall or against an adjacent wall or cabinet, and against sidelite or casing clearance, since a dummy is often on a closet in a narrow space.
11) What finishes does the Baldwin 5112 lever come in, and can I match the rest of the doors in the house?
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. Because Baldwin uses the same finish codes across its lines, ordering the dummy in the same code as your passage and privacy sets keeps the run consistent. Non-Lacquered Brass 031 is the one to think twice about in a mixed run, since living brass darkens with handling while the plated finishes hold their tone.
12) What model number do I give my supplier for the Baldwin 5112 half dummy?
The model is 5112.LDM, the 5112 lever paired with the 5075 round rose, in whichever of the eleven Baldwin finish codes you need. Specify the finish code with the model, since that is the only ordering choice on this lever.
13) I have a Baldwin passage lever on the door now and want a dummy on the closet to match. Will the 5112 look the same?
Yes, if you order the same 5112 lever style, the 5075 round rose, and the same finish code. The rose diameter and lever profile are what the eye reads across a hallway, so matching those three keeps the closet dummy indistinguishable from the working sets beside it.
14) What should I use if the closet door needs privacy instead of a fixed dummy lever?
A half dummy lever has no locking feature at all, so a bathroom or bedroom door needs a privacy function set. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
15) The opening needs to be keyed - what replaces a Baldwin 5112 dummy lever?
A half dummy accepts no cylinder. For a keyed opening in the same lever format, the Deltana Claremont 5851 and Manchester 6201 are entry function levers, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, matching the 5112 backset, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
16) Does the Baldwin 5112 handing matter when cross-referencing against other levers?
The Baldwin 5112 is ordered as a left hand half dummy and its lever handing is reversible. Several commercial passage levers are built non-handed instead, so handing never enters the order: the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock both use a non-handed lever design. When substituting a non-handed set for the 5112, the left hand call-out drops out of the order.
17) What is the Baldwin 5112 lever made of, and how does the satin nickel finish hold up?
The Satin Nickel version is nickel plated over solid brass, applied as a PVD finish, which gives it the heft of brass with a matte silver tone and good resistance to wear on a frequently touched lever.
18) Is there a plainer dummy lever than the Baldwin 5112 for rental turnover?
The Baldwin 5112 half dummy is a decorative lever with a round rose and a 4.7 inch grip. For a lower-cost fixed-lever look on turnover work, the Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. Both are dummy function like the 5112, with plainer commercial-style trim rather than the Baldwin decorative finish range.
19) I need a square rose instead of the round rose on the Baldwin 5112 - what is the alternative?
The Baldwin 5112 pairs with the 5075 rose in a round shape. For a square trim profile in a lever set, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. Bravura also builds the Atlanta and Orlando with round trim if the rest of the openings need to stay round.
