Baldwin 5161190PASS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset does the Baldwin 5161 lever need, and will it drop into an existing 2-1/8 inch bore?
It is built for a 2-3/8 inch backset and the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which is the prep already in most interior doors. If your existing hole is centered 2-3/4 inches back from the door edge, this is the wrong backset for that opening.
2) Does the Baldwin 5161 lever lock or does it just latch?
It only latches. Passage function means no key, no thumbturn, no push button; the lever retracts the latch from either side at all times. Use it on hallways, closets and pantries. For a bathroom or bedroom you need a privacy set, and for a keyed opening an entry set.
3) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5161 lever left or right handed?
No handing to specify. The lever is reversible, so one part number works on a left or right hand door and the installer sets the direction on site. That makes it easier to stock a few across a building without matching each opening.
4) Is the Baldwin 5161 passage lever a commercial rated lockset for an office building?
It's a residential tubular lockset, model 5161.PASS, with a contemporary lever on a round 5046 rose. For apartments, condos and single family interiors it's the right class of hardware. For a commercial corridor where the spec calls out a grade, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical passage lock instead, such as the Falcon K101 (Grade 1, heavy duty, fire rated) or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever.
5) The Baldwin 5161 tops out at 1-3/4 inch door thickness - what passage lever handles a thicker door?
The Baldwin 5161 covers doors from 1.375 inch to 1.75 inch thick. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Measure the actual leaf before ordering, because a door built up with a fire-rated core or an added skin often lands above the 1-3/4 inch mark.
6) What is the closest commercial-grade equivalent to the Baldwin 5161 lever passage set?
The Baldwin 5161 passage lever is a residential tubular passage set with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a round rose. On the commercial side, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, a heavy duty rating, a fire rating, and a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Both open with no locking function, so the door operation is the same; the K101 is the one to specify when the opening needs an ANSI Grade 1 fire-rated lock and the 5161 is the decorative residential option.
7) I need a locking lever instead of the Baldwin 5161 passage set - what should I order?
The Baldwin 5161 is passage only, with no privacy or locking feature. For a bed or bath door that needs a thumbturn, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever with a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever with a 1-3/8 to 2 inch range, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt and the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. Pick by function: privacy for bath, entry for a keyed door people unlock from inside, storeroom for a door that stays locked.
8) Will a dummy lever work in place of the Baldwin 5161 passage lever?
No. The Baldwin 5161 is a passage set with a working latch, so the lever retracts a latchbolt and holds the door closed. A dummy lever is surface-mounted trim with no latch at all - the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair are all dummy function. Use those only on a door held by a ball catch or roller catch, or on the inactive leaf of a pair. If the door needs to latch, the 5161 or another passage lever is the correct part.
9) For a school or institutional corridor, what should I specify instead of the Baldwin 5161?
The Baldwin 5161 is a residential passage lever. For institutional corridors, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology in the T Series, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors in the X Series. Where the room needs to be secured rather than free-swinging, the Dexter C1000 Classroom is a Grade 1 keyed classroom lever with a clutching mechanism for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security adds classroom security function over the same thickness range.
10) How far does the Baldwin 5161 lever stick out from the door face, and how long is the lever?
Projection is 2.65 inches off the face and the lever grip measures 4.75 inches. Worth checking on a door that swings back against a wall or a cabinet run, and on tight closet openings where a long lever can catch adjacent trim.
11) What finishes does the Baldwin 5161 passage lever come in for matching the rest of my doors?
Eight finishes: 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. Baldwin finish numbers carry across the line, so a 056 here matches a 056 on other Baldwin trim in the same building.
12) Do I need to buy a latch and strike separately with the Baldwin 5161 passage set?
No. The passage set ships with everything required to mount it, latch and strike included, so there's nothing to add on the order beyond finish and quantity.
13) I need a matching lever that doesn't turn for a closet or a false door. What pairs with a passage set?
A dummy trim is the piece you want, and it's a different part from the 5161 passage. Dummy levers we carry include the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair and the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair on the residential side, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim if the rest of the openings are commercial cylindrical locks.
14) What's a lower cost passage lever alternative to the Baldwin 5161 for a rental turn?
For volume interior work where the Baldwin finish isn't the point, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness window the 5161 handles. The Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando round trim passage leversets are Grade 2 residential options if you want a step up in duty.
15) What is a Grade 2 passage lever alternative to the Baldwin 5161 for a hall or closet door?
The Baldwin 5161 is a passage lever with a round rose for hall and closet doors. Grade 2 passage levers that serve the same function include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta from the 5300 Series, the Accentra 4601LN from the 4600 Series, the Hager 2510 with the Withnell lever design and a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon B101, a medium duty non-handed Grade 2 passage lock in the B Series. All four latch without a lock, which is the same door operation the 5161 provides.
16) Is there a square-rose passage lever if the round rose on the Baldwin 5161 does not match my other doors?
The Baldwin 5161 passage set uses a round rose. If the rest of the openings carry square trim, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. Round-trim Grade 2 passage alternatives include the Bravura Atlanta, the Bravura Orlando, and the Bravura Miramar in a US4 satin brass finish. Trim shape is the visible difference; all four are passage function like the 5161.
17) What is a simpler residential passage lever than the Baldwin 5161?
The Baldwin 5161 is a residential passage lever with a 4.75 inch lever grip and a 2.65 inch projection. Lighter-grade residential passage options include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton, a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lock for interior hall and closet doors, and the Callan Asheville, a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. All perform the same latch-only operation on an interior door.
18) Is the Corbin Russwin 585F715 lock lever a substitute for the Baldwin 5161?
No. The Baldwin 5161 is a complete tubular passage lever set with a 2-3/8 inch backset that installs into a standard 2.125 inch door prep. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical lock series, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with an entry function in the ED-500 Series. Those are trim components that mount to an exit device or an existing chassis, not standalone passage sets.
19) What shape is the rose on the Baldwin 5161, and will it cover the marks left by my old lockset?
Round rose, the 5046, on a contemporary lever. It covers the standard 2-1/8 inch bore. If you're pulling off a set with a large square or rectangular escutcheon, expect visible finish marks outside the round rose footprint on a painted or stained door.
20) What decorative passage-style alternatives to the Baldwin 5161 are there for a higher-end interior?
The Baldwin 5161 passage lever comes in eight finishes including 055 Polished Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and 190 Satin Black, in a contemporary style. On the decorative side, Deltana offers the 5851 Claremont, 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead levers, all entry function; the Manchester, Morant, and Linstead each cover 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever is available as a dummy pair. Note the difference in function: the Deltana levers are keyed entry sets rather than latch-only passage sets like the 5161.
