Baldwin 5161260PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin 5161 lever have to be ordered left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 5161 lever is reversible, so one part covers a left hand or right hand door and you set it at install. That also means you can stock a single item for a whole floor of bedroom and bath doors instead of splitting the order by swing.
2) Is the Baldwin 5161 with 5046 rose a locking lever or just a passage set?
Privacy function. It is the bed and bath lock: it latches and locks from the inside for a bedroom, bathroom, or powder room, and it is non-keyed, so it is not the right choice for an exterior door or anything you need to key. If you want the same look on a hall or closet door that never locks, order a passage set instead.
3) Will the Baldwin 5161 drop into the holes from my old knob or lever without redrilling?
If the door already has the 2-1/8 inch standard bore with a 2-3/8 inch backset, the 5161 goes in with no new boring. That is the usual prep on residential interior doors. A door bored at a 2-3/4 inch backset is the case to watch, since the 5161 is a 2-3/8 inch backset set and the crossbore will not line up with the latch.
4) Can I use the Baldwin 5161 privacy lever on commercial office or school doors?
It is a residential lockset, tubular construction, and no ANSI grade is carried on it. For a commercial opening that needs a graded lock, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock, and Hager's 2540 privacy set with the Withnell lever is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
5) What is the closest privacy leverset to the Baldwin 5161 with the 5046 round rose?
For a bed or bath door, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is the nearest match by function: it is a Grade 3 privacy lever that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Baldwin 5161 is a privacy-function tubular leverset for doors 1.375 inch to 1.75 inch thick with a round rose. The Baldwin is a residential set offered in eight finishes including satin brass, polished nickel and satin black.
6) What privacy lock should I use on a commercial bathroom instead of a Baldwin 5161?
The Baldwin 5161 is a residential privacy leverset. For a commercial restroom, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 fire-rated privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Arrow uses a knob rather than a lever, which matters where lever operation is required.
7) I do not need the door to lock - what is the passage version to order instead of the Baldwin 5161?
The 5161 is a privacy set, which is the wrong function for a hall or closet door that only needs to latch. Passage leversets with round trim include the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando, both Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, and the Callan Asheville, a Grade 3 passage leverset. On the commercial side, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed passage lever and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated passage lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick.
8) The door needs a key, not a privacy turn - what takes the place of a Baldwin 5161?
The 5161 is a non-keyed privacy set, so it will not secure an entry door. Keyed alternatives include the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Deltana 6431 Linstead entry lever over the same thickness range, the Kwikset-style Master Lock RL Series Grade 3 keyed entry lever, and the Callan Bennett Grade 3 entrance leverset with deadbolt combo. For commercial keyed entry, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) My doors are 2 inches thick - will a Baldwin 5161 work, and what else covers that?
The Baldwin 5161 tops out at 1.75 inch door thickness, so a 2 inch door is outside its range. Leversets that cover 2 inch doors include the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Design Hardware X75 Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant fire-rated passage lever at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
10) How far does the Baldwin 5161 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the lever?
Projection is 2.65 inches off the face of the door and the lever grip runs 4.75 inches. Worth checking on a door that swings back against a wall or a vanity, and in a tight hall where a long lever can catch a passing sleeve. The rose is round.
11) What finishes does the Baldwin 5161 lever come in so I can match the rest of the house?
Eight finishes: 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). That covers both the warm brass and bronze side and the nickel and black side, so a whole floor can be run in one tone.
12) Do I need to buy a latch and strike separately with the Baldwin 5161?
No. The set ships with what the install needs, latch and strike included, so nothing extra has to go on the order to hang it on a bored door. The Baldwin installation guide covers the interior latch.
13) Can I substitute a keypad lever for a Baldwin 5161 on an interior door?
Keypad levers are code-entry hardware and do not provide a privacy turn like the 5161 does, so they suit a controlled door rather than a bath. If code entry is what the opening actually needs, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
14) Is a dummy lever the same as a Baldwin 5161 privacy lever?
No. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed or provide the privacy turn the 5161 gives. If you want matching trim on an inactive leaf next to a 5161 privacy door, dummy options include the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina dummy pair, the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair, the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim.
15) What do I use on a classroom or storeroom door where a Baldwin 5161 privacy lever is not the right function?
Privacy function is for bed and bath doors, not for rooms that need to stay secured or be locked from outside. For those openings the Dexter C1000 Series offers a Grade 1 classroom clutching keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and a Grade 1 classroom security version over the same range. For storerooms, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
16) Does the Baldwin 5161 backset match the commercial levers I already stock?
The Baldwin 5161 is built for a 2-3/8 inch backset in the standard 2.125 inch bored door prep. Among comparable levers, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 lever with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, while the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever in the same AG Series is built to a 2-3/4 inch backset, so those two are not interchangeable in one door prep.
17) I want matching levers on the closet and hall doors next to the bathroom. Is there a non-locking version of this Baldwin lever?
The 5161 lever with the 5046 round rose is sold here in the privacy version, which locks from the inside for a bed or bath door. For hall, closet and other doors that should never lock, you want the same 5161 lever in passage function so the trim matches down the hallway. If you are matching a different brand for the non-locking doors instead, Bravura's Atlanta and Orlando passage leversets both use a round trim.
18) I want the same look as the Baldwin 5161 round rose but in a passage set for the hall doors - what pairs with it?
The 5161 uses a round rose with a 4.75 inch lever grip and 2.65 inch projection. For round-trim passage levers on the surrounding doors, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim as well. The Bravura Tampa is the square-trim member of that group, so it reads differently against a round rose.
