Baldwin 5121056PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Baldwin 5121 privacy lever the right lock for a bathroom or bedroom door?
That is exactly its function. Privacy means it locks from the inside with a turn and has no key cylinder, with an emergency release on the outside rose. Use it on bed and bath doors. For a hall or closet door that never needs to lock, order a passage lever instead.
2) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5121 lever left or right handed?
No handing to specify. The 5121 lever is reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand doors and you set it at install.
3) Can I use the Baldwin 5121 lever on commercial office or school doors?
It is specified as residential hardware, with no commercial grade or fire rating behind it. For a commercial opening look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K101 (Grade 1, heavy duty, fire rated) or the Hager 2540 Grade 2, both built for that traffic.
4) What is the closest privacy lever alternative to the Baldwin 5121 if I want a lower-cost residential set?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is the nearest residential privacy alternative. It is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which matches the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range the Baldwin 5121 privacy lever covers. The Breton uses a round trim like the Baldwin R012 rose, so the visual swap on a bedroom or bath door is straightforward.
5) I need a privacy lock for a commercial restroom, not a residence. What should I use instead of the Baldwin 5121?
The Baldwin 5121 privacy lever is a residential set. For a commercial restroom, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock that is fire rated and carries a Grade 1 listing, with a door thickness range of 1-3/4 to 2 inches. Note that the MK02-TA uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so if lever operation is required for accessibility you would need a lever-trim privacy set instead.
6) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Baldwin 5121 privacy lever work, and if not what will?
The Baldwin 5121 privacy lever covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, so a 2 inch door is outside its range. Locks that reach 2 inches include the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever at 1-3/8 to 2 inches and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever at 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. Both are passage function rather than privacy, so confirm the door truly needs a privacy turn before substituting.
7) What should I use instead of the Baldwin 5121 on an entry door that needs a key?
The 5121 is a privacy lever with no cylinder, so it cannot be keyed. For a keyed opening, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever is an entry function set covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset, matching the 2-3/8 inch backset the Baldwin 5121 uses.
8) How far does the Baldwin 5121 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the lever?
Projection off the face of the door is 2.125 inches, and the lever grip measures 3.75 inches. Worth checking if the door swings back against a wall or a cabinet run.
9) What finishes does the Baldwin 5121 privacy lever come in for matching the rest of a house?
Eleven finishes: 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. The rose is the round R012.
10) Is there a cheaper residential privacy lever than the Baldwin 5121 for a rental unit?
For volume turns on apartments, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy leverset is a Grade 3 residential privacy set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Baldwin's 5121 is the solid decorative option; the Kwikset is the builder-grade equivalent for the same door function.
11) Does the Baldwin 5121 come with the latch and strike, or do I need to order those separately?
Everything needed to mount the lock on the door ships with the set, latch and strike included. You just need the door bored to the 2-1/8 inch standard prep with a 2-3/8 inch backset.
12) What do I order if the door does not need to lock at all, just latch?
For a hall or closet door that only needs to latch, a passage lever is the right call rather than the Baldwin 5121, which is a privacy function. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever with round trim for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Atlanta round-trim passage leverset is a Grade 2 option in the same round-rose look as the Baldwin R012 rose.
13) Is a dummy lever the same thing as the Baldwin 5121 privacy lever?
No. The Baldwin 5121 is a privacy lever with a working latch and a locking turn for bed and bath doors. A dummy lever is a fixed pull with no latch and no lock, such as the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair or the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever. Dummy trim is used on inactive or closet doors that latch by other means, so it will not substitute on a bathroom door.
14) I need a matching non-locking lever for a closet door next to a Baldwin 5121 bath door. What do I order?
The 5121 is the privacy version of the design, model 5121.PRIV. For the closet next to it, order the same 5121 lever with the R012 rose in passage function and the same finish so the trim matches across the openings.
15) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever I can use in place of the Baldwin 5121 on an interior door?
Yes, if code access is preferred over a privacy turn. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting doors from 1-3/16 to 2 inches, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 to 2 inches. These are code-entry devices rather than privacy sets, so they change how the door is secured from the inside compared with the Baldwin 5121.
