Baldwin 5137055RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 5137 lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The 5137 lever works on doors from 1.375 inches up to 1.75 inches thick, so a standard 1-3/8 inch interior door and a 1-3/4 inch door are both covered. It uses the 2-3/8 inch backset and the 2.125 inch standard door prep.
2) Do I need to order the Baldwin 5137 lever handed left or right?
The 5137 lever is reversible, so it can be set for either hand of door. Handing only comes into play in how you order: half pairs are sold specifically as left hand or right hand, while a full pair covers both sides of the door.
3) What is the difference between the Pair and Half Pair options on the Baldwin 5137 lever?
A Pair gives you levers for both faces of the door. A Half Pair is a single lever for one side only, ordered as left hand or right hand, which is what you want when you are replacing one damaged lever or dressing a one-sided application. There is also a Pair (PINNED) option.
4) Is the Imperial USA TH1100 lever a direct swap for a Baldwin 5137 lever?
They are not the same item. The Baldwin 5137 is a residential-rated lever handle built for 2-3/8 inch backset, 2.125 inch standard door prep, doors from 1.375 to 1.75 inch thick, with a round rose and a reversible handing so one lever serves either hand. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is a handed product, catalogued left hand as a specific item rather than reversible, so matching the door swing has to be confirmed before it is used in place of a 5137 half pair.
5) Is the Baldwin 5137 a complete lockset or just the lever trim?
The 5137 is lever trim, not a full lock. It is the handle portion that pairs with Baldwin roses and lock bodies; Baldwin's privacy sets built around this style ship with what is needed to mount onto the door. If you are buying to replace a broken handle on an existing Baldwin tubular lock, the lever is what you want.
6) Is the Baldwin 5137 lever rated for commercial traffic?
It is a residential lever. For apartment interiors, condos and single-family work it is the right class of product; for high-traffic commercial openings in an office, school or healthcare corridor you want a commercial grade lockset instead.
7) How far does the Baldwin 5137 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the grip?
Projection is 2.3 inches off the door face and the lever grip measures 4 inches. That matters where a door swings back against a wall, a cabinet, or a second lever on an adjacent opening, since a 2.3 inch projection plus a 4 inch grip needs clearance to rotate freely.
8) If I only need to replace the lever on one side of a door, is there an alternative to ordering a full Baldwin 5137 pair?
Yes. The Baldwin 5137 lever is sold as a Pair, a Pair (PINNED), or as a Half Pair in either Left Hand or Right Hand, so a single-side replacement can be ordered as the matching half pair. If the single-side need is on a different opening and the Baldwin trim style is not required, the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is also offered as a left hand single lever.
9) I need levers for heavy commercial traffic - is the Baldwin 5137 the right choice?
The Baldwin 5137 lever is specified for residential use, with a tubular lock type, 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1.375 to 1.75 inch door thickness range. For openings where you want a different lever line to evaluate alongside it, Imperial USA's TH1100 Series lever handle is the adjacent option in the same lever handle family; confirm handing on that one, since it is sold as a left hand item rather than reversible like the 5137.
10) What shape is the rose on the Baldwin 5137, and will it cover an old lever's mounting marks?
Round rose. Because it installs to the 2.125 inch standard door prep with a 2-3/8 inch backset, it drops onto the same bore as most existing residential tubular levers; whether it hides scuffing from a previous square or larger rose depends on how big that old plate was.
11) What else could I look at besides the Baldwin 5137 lever handle?
If the Baldwin look is not required, the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is another lever handle option and is sold in hand-specific versions, such as the left hand. The Baldwin 5137 is the choice when you need a traditional style profile in a specific Baldwin finish to match existing hardware in the building.
12) Which lever gives me the widest finish selection for matching existing hardware?
The Baldwin 5137 lever covers 14 finishes, including 003 Polished Brass, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 044 Satin Brass, 055 Polished Nickel, 056 Satin Nickel, 076 Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze, which is what makes it the one to reach for when a fleet of doors has to match. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is identified by series and handing rather than by that finish range.
