Baldwin BAL-5122.003.RDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a half dummy lever actually do, and when should I use one instead of a passage lever?
The Baldwin 5122 with 5021 rose is a half dummy: a single lever mounted on one face of the door with no latch, no spindle through the door, and nothing to turn. It's a pull handle only. Use it where the door doesn't latch, like a closet door held by a ball catch or magnetic catch, or the inactive leaf of a French pair. If the door needs to latch and stay closed, you want a passage function lever instead, such as the Falcon B101 or the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage set.
2) I need a lever for a right hand door - is the Baldwin 5122 half dummy handed?
This one is built as the RIGHT hand half dummy, so the lever throws down toward the correct side on a right hand or right hand reverse opening. If your door is left handed, order the left hand version rather than trying to flip this. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's a right hand door.
3) Is this Baldwin lever suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
Baldwin lists the 5122 as a residential product. For commercial corridors, offices, or anywhere you need an ANSI/BHMA grade behind the hardware, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 dummy trim instead, like the BEST 9K Series 1DT (Grade 1, heavy duty) or the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim (Grade 2). Inside apartments and single family homes the Baldwin is the right class of product.
4) I need dummy levers on both sides of a French door pair - is one 5122 enough?
No. A half dummy is one lever for one face. For two faces you need two units, and for a pair of French doors you'd typically need a half dummy per leaf face that gets a handle. If you want a factory dummy pair in a single order, the Emtek Classic Cortina and Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy sets are sold as pairs.
5) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin 5122 half dummy lever?
The Baldwin 5122 with 5021 rose is a half dummy lever built for residential use. For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. Accentra also offers the 455LN Augusta, a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. All three are dummy function like the 5122, so they mount as pull trim only with no latch.
6) I need a lever that actually latches the door, not a dummy - what should I order instead of the Baldwin 5122?
The Baldwin 5122 is a half dummy, so it has no latch and no locking feature; it is surface mounted trim for a pull. If the door needs to latch, a passage function lever is the right swap: the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage leverset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Asheville AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset, and the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim similar in shape to the 5021 round rose.
7) Is the Emtek dummy leverset the same thing as the Baldwin 5122 right hand half dummy?
Not quite. The Baldwin 5122 with 5021 rose is a half dummy, meaning a single lever for one face of the door, ordered right hand. The Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy leversets are sold as pairs, giving trim on both faces - the configuration used on double doors or a door that needs a pull on each side. If only one face needs trim, the half dummy is the match; if both do, the pair is.
8) My door is 2 inches thick - will the Baldwin 5122 work, or do I need something else?
The Baldwin 5122 half dummy covers doors from 1.375 inch to 1.75 inch thick. For a 2 inch door, look to levers rated for that range: the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
9) Does a fire-rated opening rule out the Baldwin 5122 dummy lever?
Dummy trim like the Baldwin 5122 carries no latching hardware, so a fire door needing a latching, labeled set should use a lever listed for it. The Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever are both fire rated, the CL3110 for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch and the K101 for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
10) How far does the Baldwin 5122 lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2.5 inches off the face, with a 4.6 inch lever grip length. Worth checking against a door that swings into a narrow hall or against a tight door casing, and against any adjacent wall so the lever has clearance.
11) What dummy lever pairs with a Grade 2 commercial passage lever on adjacent doors?
The Baldwin 5122 half dummy is a residential trim. If you are matching dummy trim to working locks in a light commercial corridor, the Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim - either lines up with Grade 2 passage sets such as the Hager 2510 Withnell or the Falcon B101.
12) I need a bathroom or bedroom lever, not the Baldwin 5122 - what locks?
The Baldwin 5122 half dummy has no locking feature at all. For a bed or bath door, choose a privacy function lever: the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy leverset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the door thickness range the 5122 covers, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 unit with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
13) What is the closest decorative-brand alternative to the Baldwin 5122 lever with round rose?
Within the decorative residential levers, the Bravura Miramar leverset uses round trim and is offered in US4 satin brass, close in look to the 5122 with the round 5021 rose in Baldwin's 044 Satin Brass. The Deltana Claremont 5851 and Manchester 6201 levers are another traditional-style option, though both are entry function rather than dummy trim.
14) Can I use a keypad lever in place of the Baldwin 5122 for keyless access?
The Baldwin 5122 is dummy trim with no latch or credential of any kind, so it cannot control access. For keyless entry on the same opening, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever lock covers doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch and is ADA compliant, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
15) For a school or institutional door, is the Baldwin 5122 an acceptable substitute?
The Baldwin 5122 half dummy is designated residential and provides trim only. Institutional openings usually call for a Grade 1 keyed function: the Dexter C1000 classroom lever and C1000 classroom security lever are Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum lever is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt.
16) Will the 5021 round rose match the other Baldwin roses on my doors?
The 5122 half dummy uses the 5021 rose, a round rose in a contemporary lever profile. To keep a hallway looking consistent, confirm the working locks on the adjacent doors are also on a round rose of the same series; a round dummy next to a square or beveled rose will read as a mismatch even in identical finish.
17) What's the model number I should quote for the Baldwin right hand half dummy with the 5021 rose?
The model is 5122.RDM, the right hand half dummy version of the Baldwin 5122 lever on the 5021 rose. Add the finish code to that when ordering, for example 5122.RDM in 056 Satin Nickel.
