Baldwin 5138055PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5138 lever handed for a left or right swing door?
No handing to specify. The 5138 lever is reversible, so one part number works on either swing. That matters if you are buying several for a house or a unit turnover and do not want to sort them by door.
2) Is the Baldwin 5138 a privacy lock with a bathroom thumbturn, or just a passage lever?
Privacy function, meaning bed and bath: it locks from the inside for a bathroom or bedroom and has no key cylinder. If you want a lever that never locks, for a hall or closet, look at a passage set instead, such as the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever or the Bravura Atlanta passage leverset.
3) Is the Baldwin 5138 leverset suitable for a commercial corridor or a school?
No. The 5138 with 5047 rose is a residential lockset. For commercial traffic, an institutional buyer should be looking at a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110, or a Grade 2 like the Hager 2540 privacy lock with the Withnell lever.
4) What is a comparable privacy lever to the Baldwin 5138 for a bedroom or bath door?
The Baldwin 5138 with 5047 rose is a residential privacy/bed/bath lever with a reversible handing and a round rose. The closest privacy lever alternative is the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton, a Grade 3 privacy leverset with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin 5138 fits doors from 1.37 to 1.75 inch, so both cover standard residential door thicknesses; the difference is in the trim design and finish range rather than the opening prep.
5) I need a privacy lock for a commercial restroom instead of the Baldwin 5138 - what should I use?
The Baldwin 5138 lever set is a residential-duty privacy lock. For a commercial restroom, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob that carries a fire rating. Choose by whether the opening requires a lever for ADA-style operation or accepts a knob.
6) What do I put on a door that needs to be keyed rather than the Baldwin 5138 privacy lever?
The Baldwin 5138 is a non-keyed privacy lever. If the opening needs a key, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead are entry-function levers for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock. The Baldwin 5138 also uses a 2-3/8 inch backset, so an AG00 drops into the same bore spacing.
7) How far does the Baldwin 5138 lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2.312 inches off the door, with a 4 inch lever grip. Worth checking against a door that swings back against a wall or a narrow return, and against adjacent trim or a door stop location.
8) What finishes does the Baldwin 5138 privacy lever come in?
Eleven: Polished Brass (003), Non-Lacquered Brass (031), Vintage Brass (033), Satin Brass (044), Polished Nickel (055), Satin Nickel (056), Graphite Nickel (076), Oil Rubbed Bronze (102), Venetian Bronze (112/11P), Satin Black (190), and Polished Chrome (260). If you are matching bath and bedroom doors to entry hardware already in the house, pick the Baldwin finish code off the existing set rather than going by name alone.
9) Does the Baldwin 5138 come with the latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
The set ships with what is needed to mount it on the door, so you are not sourcing latch and mounting hardware on the side. All you need in the door is the standard 2-1/8 inch bore and a 2-3/8 inch backset latch hole.
10) I need a matching lever for a bathroom and a closet on the same hallway. Can I use the 5138 on both?
Use the 5138 privacy on the bath and a passage version of the same 5138 lever with 5047 rose on the closet. Both share the round rose and the 4 inch grip, so they read identically on the hallway, but only the privacy version locks. Putting a privacy lock on a closet risks someone getting shut in.
11) What is the closest alternative to the Baldwin 5138 privacy lever at a lower duty level?
The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is a Grade 3 privacy leverset covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness window the 5138 handles. For a knob rather than a lever in the same bed and bath function, Arrow's MK02-TA Tudor knob privacy lock fits 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
12) The Baldwin 5138 privacy lever locks the door - what do I use on a hall or closet door that should not lock?
For a non-locking opening you want a passage function rather than the privacy function of the Baldwin 5138. Comparable passage leversets include the Bravura Atlanta with round trim, a Grade 2 passage leverset, the Callan Asheville, a Grade 3 passage leverset, and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton, a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three operate the latch from both sides with no locking button.
13) I want keyless entry instead of the Baldwin 5138 lever - what are the options?
The Baldwin 5138 is a mechanical privacy lever with no code entry. For keyless operation, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
14) For a classroom or storeroom door, is the Baldwin 5138 the right lever?
No. The Baldwin 5138 is a residential privacy lever with an inside turn and no key cylinder. For those openings use a keyed institutional function: the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 classroom lever with clutching for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, or the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever.
15) What is the rose shape on the Baldwin 5138, and will it cover an old rose footprint?
Round rose, the 5047. A round trim generally hides the ring left by another round rose of similar or smaller diameter, but it will not cover a larger square or rectangular escutcheon. If your other doors carry square trim, Bravura's Tampa leverset uses square trim instead.
