Baldwin 5121056PASS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin 5121 lever passage set lock, or is it always free-turning?
No lock at all. The 5121 with R012 rose is a passage function set, so both levers always retract the latch and there is no button, thumbturn or keyway. It is the right choice for a hall, closet or pantry door that needs to latch shut but never needs to be secured. If the door is a bedroom or bath, you want a privacy version with a turn button instead, and if it needs a key, a keyed entry set.
2) What backset does the Baldwin 5121 lever use, and will it drop into an existing bore?
It is a 2-3/8 inch backset tubular lock through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which is the standard residential interior prep. If your existing door was bored 2-1/8 inches with the latch hole 2-3/8 inches back from the edge, the 5121 goes straight in. Doors bored at the 2-3/4 inch backset are the other common layout and will not line up with this one.
3) Is the Baldwin 5121 lever suitable for a commercial corridor or a school?
It is catalogued as a residential lock, so for a commercial opening with traffic and code requirements you want a graded cylindrical lever instead. Comparable passage options we carry include the Falcon K101, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed passage lever rated for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and listed with a fire rating, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110, a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, also fire rated. For a lighter commercial or multi-family interior, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
4) What passage lever should I use on a fire rated door instead of the Baldwin 5121?
Two passage levers in the comparable range carry a fire rating: the Falcon K101 Grade 1 non-handed passage lock, rated and sized for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Baldwin 5121 is a residential passage set for interior hall and closet openings.
5) What is a commercial-grade passage lever equivalent to the Baldwin 5121 for a hallway door?
The Baldwin 5121 is a residential passage leverset on a round R012 rose. For a commercial opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Dexter C1000 passage is also Grade 1, with clutching levers and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the same thickness window the Baldwin 5121 covers.
6) I need a lever that actually locks for a bedroom or bathroom - what do I order instead of the Baldwin 5121?
The Baldwin 5121 is a passage function set, so it latches but does not lock. For a bed or bath door, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.
7) Which keyed lever should I use for an entry or office door if the Baldwin 5121 is passage only?
For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical lever, and 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 2-3/8 inch backset the Baldwin 5121 uses.
8) Are dummy levers like the BEST 7KC or Emtek Cortina a substitute for the Baldwin 5121?
No. The Baldwin 5121 is a working passage set with a latch that retracts when the lever is turned. The BEST 7KC single dummy trim and the BEST 9K 1DT are non-keyed dummy trims, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy, and the Emtek Cortina and Arts and Crafts dummies ship as pairs. Dummy trim is surface mounted and has no latch, so it will not hold a hall or closet door closed.
9) For a classroom or storeroom door, what replaces the Baldwin 5121?
The Baldwin 5121 is a hall and closet passage set with no cylinder. For a classroom door, the Dexter C1000 classroom is a Grade 1 keyed clutching lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a storeroom, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever.
10) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5121 handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The 5121 lever is reversible, so one part number covers both left and right hand doors and you can stock a single item across a building instead of splitting the order by swing.
11) What finishes does the Baldwin 5121 passage lever come in for matching the rest of a 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). Non-Lacquered Brass is the living finish that will patina over time, so mixing it with lacquered 003 on the same floor will not stay matched.
12) What is a lower cost passage lever alternative to the Baldwin 5121 for a rental turn?
For rental and builder-grade interior doors, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness window the Baldwin 5121 covers. The Callan Asheville is another Grade 3 passage leverset. If you want a round rose look closer to the Baldwin R012, the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim.
13) Does the Baldwin 5121 passage set come with the latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
The set ships complete with what is needed to mount it to the door, so the latch and strike are in the box. All you are specifying is the finish. If you are matching a closet or pantry door where only one side needs a lever, that is a dummy trim rather than this passage set.
14) What is a simpler residential passage lever alternative to the Baldwin 5121?
The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is a Grade 3 passage lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is a reversible Grade 3 hall and closet lock shipped with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. All three latch without locking, the same function the Baldwin 5121 performs.
15) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever I can use where the Baldwin 5121 would go?
The Baldwin 5121 is a mechanical passage set with no code entry. If the opening needs controlled access, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, and 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. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
16) If I am standardizing an entire building on one passage lever, does the Baldwin 5121 work or should I pick something else?
The Baldwin 5121 is a residential passage set in 11 finishes including polished brass, satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze, satin black and polished chrome, which suits unit interiors. For corridor and back of house doors that see high traffic, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, with the Design Hardware J75 as its Grade 2 counterpart.
17) How far does the Baldwin 5121 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the lever?
Projection is 2.125 inches off the face of the door, with a 3.75 inch lever grip on a round rose. Worth checking against a door that swings back against a wall or into a narrow hall, and against any adjacent casing or return wall where a long lever could catch.
18) What is the model number to order the Baldwin 5121 passage lever?
Order it as Baldwin 5121.PASS, the 5121 lever in passage function with the R012 round rose, plus the finish code. So Satin Nickel is the 056 finish and Oil Rubbed Bronze is 102.
