Baldwin 5121003RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 5121 lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The 5121 lever is built for doors from 1-3/8 inches up to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers both the common older interior door and the standard 1-3/4 inch door. Anything thinner or thicker than that range is outside what this trim is set up for.
2) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5121 lever left hand or right hand?
The 5121 lever is reversible, so the handle itself works on either hand of door. Where handing does come into it is the ordering option: you can buy a Pair, a Pair (PINNED), or a single Half Pair specified Left Hand or Right Hand. Pick the half pair hand by which side of the door you are dressing.
3) Does the Baldwin 5121 lever work with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch?
Yes, the 5121 is specified with a 2-3/8 inch backset and the 2-1/8 inch standard cross bore prep. If your door is already bored with the other common backset, 2-3/4 inches, you would need to match the latch to that instead.
4) Is the Baldwin 5121 lever rated for commercial traffic?
No. The 5121 is a Baldwin Estate Series residential lever. For apartments, single family, and light interior openings it is the right class of trim; for a school, hospital corridor, or other high-traffic commercial opening you want a commercial-grade lockset instead.
5) Is the Baldwin 5121 a complete privacy lock or just the lever trim?
The 5121 is lever trim with round roses. Baldwin's privacy sets in this family pair the lever with roses and a privacy lock, and those sets include what is needed to mount the lock on the door. If you are ordering the lever alone as a Half Pair or Pair, you are buying handle and rose, not a complete privacy function set.
6) Will the Baldwin 5121 lever drop into a door that already has a standard bored prep?
It should. The 5121 is designed around the 2.125 inch standard door preparation with a 2-3/8 inch backset, so a door already bored to that pattern takes it without new boring. Confirm your door thickness lands between 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inches and that the existing latch backset is 2-3/8, not 2-3/4.
7) What is the difference between the Pair and the Half Pair option on the Baldwin 5121?
A Pair gives you levers for both faces of the door. A Half Pair is a single lever, ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, which is what you want when you are replacing one damaged lever or dressing one side only. There is also a Pair (PINNED) version if you need the pinned assembly.
8) How far does the Baldwin 5121 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the grip?
Projection is 2.125 inches off the face of the door, with a 3.75 inch lever grip length. Worth checking against a door that swings close to a wall, a cabinet, or an adjacent door in a tight corridor.
9) What finishes can I get the Baldwin 5121 lever in to match the rest of my doors?
Fifteen finishes across brass, nickel, bronze, chrome and black: Polished Brass (003), Non-Lacquered Brass (031), Vintage Brass (033), Satin Brass (044), Satin Brass and Black (050), Polished Nickel (055), Satin Nickel (056), Satin Brass and Brown (060), Graphite Nickel (076), Oil Rubbed Bronze (102), Venetian Bronze (112/11P), Satin Nickel (150), Satin Black (190), Polished Chrome (260) and Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze (402). If you are matching existing Baldwin hardware in a building, order by the finish number rather than the name.
10) If I need a handed left-hand lever instead of a reversible one, what is an alternative to the Baldwin 5121?
The Baldwin 5121 lever is reversible, so a single lever works on either hand of door, and it is ordered as a Pair, Pair (PINNED), or as a Half Pair in Left Hand or Right Hand. If you would rather buy a lever that is designated left hand from the outset, the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is offered as a dedicated Left Hand part. Choose the 5121 Half Pair, Left Hand when you want to stay in the Baldwin Estate Series and match existing trim.
11) Is the Imperial USA TH1100 lever a direct swap for a Baldwin 5121?
They are not interchangeable as a matched set. The Baldwin 5121 is an Estate Series residential lever with a round rose, 2-3/8 inch backset, 3.75 inch lever grip, and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, offered in 15 finishes including Polished Brass, Satin Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Satin Black. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is a separate left-hand lever line. If you are replacing one leaf of an existing Baldwin opening and want the rose, grip, and finish to match the other doors, order the 5121.
12) What else is there if the Baldwin 5121 lever is not the look I want?
Within the same type, ZenSupply carries the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle, which is also sold as a hand-specific single (left hand). It is a different brand and styling line from Baldwin's Estate Series 5121, so it is an alternative rather than a match if you are trying to keep one look across a house.
