Baldwin 5161056RDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does a Baldwin 5161 half dummy lever have a working latch?
No. The 5161 with 5046 rose is a half dummy, meaning the lever is fixed and there is no latchbolt, no spindle through the door, and no locking. It mounts to one face of the door only and is there to give you something to pull on. Closets with roller or magnetic catches, false doors, and the inactive leaf of a pair are the usual places it goes. If the door has to latch, you want a passage set instead.
2) Will a Baldwin 5161 dummy match the passage and privacy levers already on my other doors?
It is built on the same 5161 contemporary lever with the round 5046 rose, so it reads identically to the functioning 5161 sets down the hall. Finish is where you have to be careful: order the dummy in the same code you used elsewhere. The choices are 044 Satin Brass, 055 Polished Nickel, 056 Satin Nickel, 076 Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112/11P Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome.
3) What is the closest dummy lever alternative to the Baldwin 5161 half dummy for a commercial opening?
The Baldwin 5161 is a half dummy lever set built for residential use. For a commercial-grade dummy trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty dummy, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty version of the same idea. Accentra also lists the 455LN Augusta heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever in its 5400 Series. All three are dummy function like the Baldwin, but carry ANSI/BHMA grading the Baldwin does not target.
4) I need a lever on both sides of a non-functioning door - is the Baldwin 5161 half dummy the right part?
No. The Baldwin 5161 with 5046 rose is a half dummy, meaning trim for one face of the door only. For levers on both faces of an inactive door, Emtek sells dummy pairs: the Arts & Crafts Lever dummy pair, the Hammered Lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina Lever dummy pair. Each is supplied as a pair with dummy function.
5) The door actually latches - what should I order instead of the Baldwin 5161 half dummy?
The Baldwin 5161 half dummy has no latch and no locking feature, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching but non-locking opening, passage levers include the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset, the Bravura Atlanta round-trim Grade 2 passage leverset, and the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 clutching passage lever, which lists a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range close to the Baldwin's 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch span.
6) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what lever should I use instead of the Baldwin 5161?
The Baldwin 5161 half dummy is rated for doors from 1.375 inch to 1.75 inch. For thicker doors, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with Withnell design covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. These are latching passage functions rather than dummy trim.
7) How far does the Baldwin 5161 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the lever?
Projection off the face of the door is 2.65 inches and the lever grip is 4.75 inches long. Worth checking against tight returns, adjacent walls, or a door that swings back against casing, since a fixed dummy lever has no give and will be the first thing to make contact.
8) Do I get two levers, or one, with the Baldwin 5161 half dummy?
One. A half dummy is a single lever for one face of the door, so a French pair or a double closet door needs two of them, ordered separately in the same finish. If you would rather buy a matched set in one box, Emtek sells dummy levers as pairs, including the Arts and Crafts and Cortina styles.
9) Can I use a Baldwin 5161 half dummy on a door that already has a 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. Baldwin builds this family around the standard 2-1/8 inch door prep, so a door already bored for a cylindrical lockset takes the rose without new holes. On an unbored door you do not need to cut a 2-1/8 inch hole at all, since the dummy has no chassis passing through the door, just fasteners into the face.
10) I need a lever that actually opens the door, not a dummy. What should I order instead?
A dummy will not work there. For a residential interior door that needs to latch, look at a passage leverset such as the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando with round trim, or the Callan Asheville, all Grade 2 or Grade 3 passage function. For a commercial opening, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed passage lever and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is Grade 1.
11) Is there a round-rose dummy lever alternative to the Baldwin 5161 in a lower grade?
The Baldwin 5161 uses the 5046 round rose with dummy function. The Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever is another dummy-function lever set; it carries a Grade 2 rating, while the Baldwin 5161 is a residential tubular set rather than a graded commercial lock.
12) Will a Bravura or Kwikset passage lever work as a substitute for the Baldwin 5161 half dummy?
Not as a direct substitute. The Bravura Miramar round-trim passage leverset and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set are both passage function, meaning they operate a latch. The Baldwin 5161 is half dummy trim with no latch at all, so swapping one for the other changes how the door works even though both mount to a standard bored door.
13) If I need privacy or keyed control on the same opening, what replaces the Baldwin 5161 half dummy?
The Baldwin 5161 half dummy has no privacy or locking feature. For a bed or bath opening, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the Baldwin's 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range; the Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For keyed control, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial entry lever or the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with deadlocking latchbolt apply.
14) Does the Baldwin 5161 half dummy carry a fire rating, and what comparable lever does?
The Baldwin 5161 is a residential half dummy lever set with no latch. Where a fire-rated opening is involved, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever are both listed as fire rated, and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy knob lock is fire rated as well.
15) What is included with the Baldwin 5161 dummy lever for installation?
It ships with the mounting hardware needed to put the lever and its round 5046 rose on the door. No strike, latch, or cylinder is involved, because a half dummy has none of those. Baldwin publishes an installation guide for the set.
16) I want a square rose instead of the round 5046 rose on the Baldwin 5161 - what are my options?
The Baldwin 5161 half dummy pairs with the 5046 round rose. If the design calls for square trim, the Bravura Tampa passage leverset uses square trim and is Grade 2. Note that the Tampa is passage function with a working latch, not dummy trim.
