Baldwin 5138190LDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a half dummy lever like the Baldwin 5138 actually do, and when would I use one?
A half dummy is a single lever with no latch, no spindle through the door, and no locking. It surface-mounts to one face of the door and acts as a pull. Typical uses: the inactive leaf of a French or double door, a closet or pantry door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch, and matching a fixed panel to the working door beside it. The Baldwin 5138 half dummy comes with the 5047 round rose and a 4 inch lever grip. If you need a lever on both faces, order two, or buy a dummy pair like the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair.
2) It says left hand, but also reversible. Which handing do I order for a Baldwin 5138 half dummy?
Baldwin lists lever handing on the 5138 as reversible, so the lever can be set up for either hand. The 5138.LDM is the left hand half dummy configuration. Because a dummy has no latch, handing here is purely which way the lever points when mounted, so match it to the working lever on the adjacent door.
3) Is the Baldwin 5138 lever rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential lock?
Baldwin classes the 5138 as residential door hardware, contemporary styling, tubular construction with a round rose. For a commercial corridor or an institutional opening where a Grade 1 dummy trim is specified, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim (Grade 1, heavy duty) or the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy (Grade 1). The BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2, medium duty option.
4) I need a working lever, not a dummy. What should I order instead of the Baldwin 5138?
A half dummy has no latch and no privacy or locking function, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching interior door with no lock, order a passage lever: the Bravura Atlanta or Miramar passage leverset (Grade 2, round trim) is a close residential match, or the Callan Asheville passage leverset (Grade 3). For bed and bath, a privacy set such as the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is the right function.
5) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin 5138 half dummy lever?
The Baldwin 5138.LDM is a residential dummy leverset. For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is also a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock.
6) Can I use a Grade 1 passage lever in place of the Baldwin 5138 half dummy on a fire-rated door?
No - the 5138.LDM is a dummy with no latch, so it is not a latching device. Where a fire-rated opening needs a non-keyed lever, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
7) My door is 2 inches thick - will the Baldwin 5138 half dummy work, and if not what will?
The Baldwin 5138.LDM covers doors from 1.37 inch to 1.75 inch thick, so a 2 inch door is outside its range. Levers that reach 2 inches include the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage at 1-3/4 to 2 inches.
8) How far does the Baldwin 5138 lever stick out from the door?
Projection is 2.3 inches off the door face, with a 4 inch lever grip. Worth checking on a door that swings into a wall return or against a cabinet, and on the inactive leaf of a pair where the two levers could collide when both doors are shut.
9) What finishes does the Baldwin 5138 half dummy come in so I can match my other doors?
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 Satin Nickel is nickel plating over solid brass, a matte PVD finish.
10) Does the Baldwin 5138 half dummy come with the mounting hardware, or do I need to buy screws?
Mounting hardware is included with the set, so no separate fasteners are needed for the door face. What is not included is a catch: because a dummy has no latch, a closet or inactive leaf still needs a ball catch, roller catch, or flush bolt to hold the door shut.
11) Is there a round-rose dummy lever with a stated ANSI grade to match the Baldwin 5138?
The Baldwin 5138.LDM uses a round 5047 rose and is a residential half dummy. If your spec calls out a grade on the dummy, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is Grade 1 in the 5400 Series.
12) What looks like a substitute for the Baldwin 5138 half dummy but is not?
Keyed and keyless levers are not substitutes, because the 5138.LDM is a dummy with no latch or locking feature. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock. Each of those bores and latches into the door rather than mounting as surface pull trim.
13) Can I match the Baldwin 5138 dummy to a Baldwin knob on the same rose?
The 5047 round rose is used with both knob and lever sets in this Baldwin family, so a dummy lever and a knob on the same rose share the same round trim footprint and the same 2-1/8 inch bore prep. Keep the finish code identical across the openings, since Baldwin finish numbers such as 056 Satin Nickel and 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze are what determine the visual match.
