Baldwin 5118031RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin 5118 Estate lever come with a rose, or do I have to buy that separately?
The rose is not included with the 5118 Estate lever. The lever is sold on its own so you can pair it with the rose or escutcheon of your choice, which is how Baldwin's Estate program is built: mix and match knobs and levers with roses for interior passage and privacy sets, or with handleset trim and escutcheon plates for mortise sets. Budget for the rose, the latch or mortise lock, and any strike as separate line items.
2) Will the Baldwin 5118 lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The 5118 lever is built for doors from 1-3/8 inches up to a maximum of 1-3/4 inches, which covers both the common older interior door and standard modern door thickness. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches is outside the range.
3) Do I need to order the Baldwin 5118 lever left hand or right hand?
Handing is only a question if you are buying a single lever. The 5118 is reversible, so the lever itself works on either hand of the door, but the half pair is sold specifically as Half Pair, Left Hand or Half Pair, Right Hand. Order the full Pair (or Pair PINNED) and you get both sides and no handing decision to make.
4) What backset does the Baldwin 5118 lever work with?
The 5118 Estate lever is specified at a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the standard residential interior bore. If your doors are drilled to the 2-3/4 inch backset instead, you will need latch hardware matched to that dimension, since 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 are the two backsets in common use.
5) How far does the Baldwin 5118 lever stick out, and how long is the grip?
Projection off the door face is 2.75 inches and the lever grip measures 4.7 inches. Worth checking on a door that swings into a tight corner, against an adjacent wall, or next to a cabinet run, and worth noting if you want the lever line to match existing hardware in the same hallway.
6) Is the Baldwin 5118 lever suitable for a commercial opening or an apartment corridor?
It is a residential lever. The 5118 is part of Baldwin's Estate Series and is classified for residential use, so it suits homes, condo interiors, and high-end unit interiors rather than commercial-traffic openings where a graded cylindrical or mortise lockset would be specified.
7) What finishes can I get the Baldwin 5118 lever in to match the rest of my doors?
Fourteen finishes: 003 Polished Brass, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 044 Satin Brass, 050 Satin Brass and Black, 055 Polished Nickel, 056 Satin Nickel, 060 Satin Brass and Brown, 076 Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome, and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. Match the Baldwin finish number on your existing hardware rather than the finish name, since several brass tones read similarly in photos. Note that 031 non-lacquered brass is a living finish and will patina with handling.
8) Can I use the Baldwin 5118 lever on a passage door and a privacy bath door in the same hallway?
Yes. The 5118 is offered as part of complete Passage, Privacy, Full Dummy and Half Dummy sets, so the same lever design can run across a bedroom passage door, a bath privacy door, and a fixed dummy on a closet or pantry, with only the function hardware behind it changing. That is the usual way to standardize an entire floor on one handle look.
9) What is the difference between the Pair and the Pair (PINNED) option on the Baldwin 5118 lever?
Both give you two levers, one for each face of the door. The PINNED version is the pinned lever pair; the standard Pair is the unpinned version. Choose based on how your lock body accepts the spindle. If you only need to replace one side of an existing set, the half pair options cover that instead.
10) What shape rose does the Baldwin 5118 lever use?
It is set up for a round rose, so if you are carrying square or rectangular rosettes elsewhere in the house the trim will not match visually. The rose ships separately, which means you pick the round rose style and finish to suit the opening.
11) Can I mix the Baldwin 5118 lever with knobs on the same door or in the same set?
Yes. Baldwin sells Estate knobs and levers as pairs or as individuals specifically so you can combine them, for example a lever on the corridor side and a knob on the room side, or levers on doors that need easier operation and knobs elsewhere. Order the half pair in the correct hand for the side you are fitting the 5118 on.
