Baldwin 5161190LDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a half dummy lever like the Baldwin 5161 actually do?
A half dummy is a lever on one side of the door only, with no latch and no mechanism behind it. Nothing retracts, nothing locks. It is a pull handle. Common uses are closet doors, pantry doors, and the inactive leaf of a French pair, where the door is held shut by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnet you supply separately. If you need the door to latch when it closes, this is the wrong function, go to a passage set instead.
2) Is the Baldwin 5161 half dummy handed, and does the left hand version matter?
The lever handing is listed as reversible, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door. Mount it so the lever sweeps down toward the latch edge. Since there is no latch in a half dummy, you simply orient the lever the way it looks right on the opening.
3) Does a Baldwin 5161 half dummy need a bore hole in the door, or does it surface mount?
It goes into the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, same as the matching knob and lever sets with roses. That means it drops straight into an existing bored door without patching, and it also means a blank slab has to be bored for it. There is no edge or latch prep needed since there is no latch.
4) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin 5161 half dummy lever for a dummy application on a heavy-traffic door?
The Baldwin 5161 with 5046 rose is a half dummy lever rated for residential use. For commercial dummy trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim if the opening does not call for Grade 1.
5) I need dummy levers on both sides of a double door, not one side. What should I order instead of the Baldwin 5161 half dummy?
The Baldwin 5161 is a half dummy, meaning trim for one face of the door only. For both faces, Emtek sells dummy levers as pairs, including the Arts & Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair.
6) The door needs to latch, not just have a handle. What replaces the Baldwin 5161 half dummy for a working closet or hall door?
A half dummy such as the Baldwin 5161 is pull-only trim with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching non-locking lever in the same round-rose style, the Bravura Miramar and Bravura Atlanta are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset. In commercial spec, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick.
7) Can I use a passage lever like the Arrow GL01 in place of the Baldwin 5161 on a 1-1/2 inch door?
No. The Baldwin 5161 half dummy fits doors from 1.375 inch to 1.75 inch thick, while the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra passage lever is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. For a thinner door needing a latching passage lever, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 Withnell passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Dexter C1000 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
8) How far does the Baldwin 5161 lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2.65 inches, with a 4.75 inch lever grip length. Worth checking on a closet or pantry in a tight hallway, or where the door swings back against a wall or an adjacent door, so the lever does not foul on anything or get in the traffic path.
9) Can I match Baldwin 5161 dummy levers to the working locksets on the rest of my doors?
Yes, that is the usual reason to buy it. The 5161 lever paired with the round 5046 rose shares the same lever and rose trim used on Baldwin's functioning knob and lever sets, so a closet or French door dummy reads identically to the passage and privacy sets down the hall. Order all of them in the same finish code, the round rose shape is fixed on this one.
10) I need dummy levers on both leaves of a French door. Do I buy two of these?
Two half dummies will do it, one per leaf, ordered in the same finish. If you would rather buy the pair as one item, Emtek sells dummy leversets as a pair, for example the Classic Brass Cortina Lever Dummy (Pair) or the Arts and Crafts Lever Dummy (Pair). Note the difference from a full dummy, which puts a lever on both faces of a single door.
11) If I need the door to latch instead of just pull, what should I order in place of the 5161 dummy?
A passage set, which latches but never locks. Residential options include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever, rated Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando passage leversets with round trim, both Grade 2. For a heavier opening, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and is fire rated.
12) What should I use instead of the Baldwin 5161 half dummy if the door has to lock?
The Baldwin 5161 half dummy has no locking or privacy feature. For a bed or bath door, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lever and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with deadlocking latchbolt.
13) Does the Baldwin 5161 half dummy come with a backset, and does the 2-3/8 inch figure matter?
The set is listed at a 2-3/8 inch backset, but on a half dummy there is no latch running to the door edge, so the backset only describes where the bore sits relative to the edge, matching standard residential prep. Nothing has to reach a strike, and no strike plate is involved.
14) Between the Baldwin 5161 half dummy and the Accentra 4601LN, which suits a square-trim contemporary interior door?
The Baldwin 5161 half dummy uses a round 5046 rose and is contemporary styling for residential interiors, with no latch. The Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage lever in the 5300 Series. If square trim is the goal on a latching door, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim.
