Baldwin 5112190RDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Baldwin 5112 half dummy lever actually for, and does it latch?
A half dummy is a single lever with no latch and no moving mechanism. It mounts to one face of the door as a pull only, so there is nothing to retract and nothing to lock. Typical uses are the inactive leaf of a French pair, a closet or pantry door held by a ball catch or roller catch, or a cabinet-style door where you want the lever look without a bore-through lockset. If you need the door to stay shut on its own, you order the catch separately. If you need a lever that retracts a latch, a passage set is the part, not a dummy.
2) Do I need to bore a 2-1/8 inch hole for a Baldwin 5112 half dummy?
The 5112 with the 5075 round rose is built around the 2-1/8 inch standard door prep, so it drops onto a door already bored for a normal cylindrical set. That matters on a retrofit: if you are pulling an existing knob or lever off a bored door and putting a dummy in its place, the hole is already right. On a new blank door, a dummy does not strictly need the full bore, but the rose is sized to cover a 2-1/8 inch hole cleanly.
3) Why does the Baldwin 5112 come in a right hand version, and how do I tell which one I need?
On a dummy lever the handing is purely which way the lever points, since there is no latch to reverse. Stand on the side the lever mounts and face the door: the right hand version has the lever swinging down toward the right. Get it backwards and the lever points at the hinges instead of away from them. On a French pair, the two leaves usually take opposite hands so the levers mirror each other. Baldwin lists this one as reversible, so the lever can be set to the other hand at install if you end up needing the mirror.
4) Is the Baldwin 5112 lever rated for commercial use?
Baldwin lists the 5112 as residential. For an apartment turn or a single-family remodel it is the right class of product. For a commercial corridor, a school, or anything getting institutional traffic, look at a Grade 1 dummy trim instead: the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is heavy duty Grade 1, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is the Grade 2 medium duty step between them.
5) I need dummy levers on both sides of a French door pair. Does the Baldwin 5112 cover that?
A half dummy is one lever for one face. Two faces means two of them, and on a pair you generally want opposite hands so the levers mirror. If you would rather buy it as one item, Emtek sells dummy leversets as a pair, including the Arts and Crafts lever and the Hammered lever in the Arts and Crafts line, and the Cortina lever in the Classic Brass line.
6) I ordered a Baldwin 5112 dummy but the door needs to actually latch closed. What should I have ordered?
A dummy has no latch, so it will not hold a door shut. For an interior hall or closet door that needs to latch but not lock, you want a passage set. Options across price points: Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, or Miramar round-trim passage leversets and the Tampa with square trim are all Grade 2; the Callan Asheville is Grade 3 passage; the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range as the 5112. For bedroom or bath, you need privacy function, not passage.
7) What should I order instead of a half dummy lever when the door actually needs to latch?
A half dummy lever like the Baldwin 5112 is a fixed pull with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. When the opening needs a latch but no lock, order a passage function leverset: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range and a fire rating, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
8) Which lever should I use on the door where the Baldwin 5112 dummy will not work because the room needs to lock?
A half dummy has no latch or locking mechanism, so it cannot secure a room. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a bed or bath door, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy leverset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) For a school or healthcare corridor, what lever replaces a residential dummy lever like the Baldwin 5112?
The Baldwin 5112 is designated residential. For institutional openings, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a keyed classroom door, the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with clutching for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) How far does the Baldwin 5112 lever stick out from the door, and how much space does the handle take?
Projection is 2.6 inches off the door face and the lever grip runs 4.7 inches. Worth checking two things with those numbers: a door that swings back against a wall or a cabinet needs about 2.6 inches of clearance plus your stop, and on a narrow stile or a door close to a return wall the 4.7 inch grip needs room to not knuckle-bang the jamb.
11) Does everything needed to mount the Baldwin 5112 come in the box?
Baldwin ships these sets with the mounting hardware to install onto the door. What is not included is the catch: since a half dummy has no latch, a closet or French leaf that needs to stay closed also needs a ball catch, roller catch, or flush bolt ordered alongside it.
12) The Baldwin 5112 fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch - what dummy or lever option covers a thicker door?
The Baldwin 5112 half dummy lever is built for a minimum door thickness of 1.375 inches and a maximum of 1.75 inches. For thicker stock, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Dexter C1000 asylum function lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inches, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inches.
13) Are the Bravura and Callan round-rose leversets substitutes for a Baldwin 5112?
They share the round trim look but not the function. The Baldwin 5112 uses a round lever rose and is a half dummy. The Bravura Miramar and Bravura Atlanta with round trim, the Bravura Orlando with round trim, and the Callan Asheville are all passage function leversets, which means they carry a working latch and retract it when the lever turns. Use those where the door must stay shut, and the 5112 where the lever is a fixed pull.
14) Can a keypad leverset be used in place of a Baldwin 5112 dummy lever?
They solve different problems. The Baldwin 5112 half dummy is a fixed lever with no latch and no access control. A keypad leverset controls entry by code: the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Choose a keypad set when the door needs coded access, not when it needs a matching pull.
15) Is a Baldwin 5112 the right part to match a lever on an exit device or an electrified opening?
No, those take purpose-built trim. The Baldwin 5112 is a half dummy cylindrical lever for a standard bored door. A pushpad exit device takes lock lever trim such as the Corbin Russwin 585F715 Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device, and an electrified opening takes a lock like the Corbin Russwin CL33903 Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever, 12VAC/DC, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
16) If a closet door in a hotel needs a 20 minute fire rated latch instead of a dummy lever, what do I order?
A half dummy such as the Baldwin 5112 carries no latch, so it cannot serve a rated opening. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever ships with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock is fire rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lock is fire rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) Will a Baldwin 5112 dummy lever match my other Baldwin 5112 doors if I order a different finish later?
Order by the Baldwin finish code and the model, not the finish name. The model is 5112.RDM with the 5075 round rose, and the finish codes run 003, 031, 033, 044, 055, 056, 076, 102, 112, 190 and 260. Across a building where some doors take dummies and some take working sets, the 5075 round rose is what keeps the trim reading the same from door to door, so match the rose as well as the finish.
18) What is a simpler builder-grade alternative to a Baldwin 5112 lever for a hall or closet door in a rental?
The Baldwin 5112 is a residential half dummy lever offered in eleven finishes including 003 Polished Brass, 056 Satin Nickel and 190 Satin Black. Where the door needs a plain latching lever instead, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage leverset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Kwikset 200DL Delta is a reversible Grade 3 hall/closet passage lever with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel.
