Baldwin 5161056RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin 5161 lever come with the 5046 rose, or do I have to order the rose separately?
The rose is a separate order. The Baldwin 5161 Estate lever ships as the lever trim only, and you pick the rose to go with it, which is how you mix and match across Baldwin's rose options. Budget for the rose (and the lock function trim) as separate lines on the PO so the job isn't short a part at install.
2) Will the Baldwin 5161 lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The 5161 lever trim covers doors from 1.37 inches up to a maximum of 1.75 inches, so both the common older 1-3/8 inch interior door and a 1-3/4 inch door are in range. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches is outside what this trim is built for.
3) Do I need to specify left hand or right hand for the Baldwin 5161 lever?
Handing only matters for how you order the halves, not for the lever itself. The 5161 is reversible, but it is sold as Half Pair Left Hand, Half Pair Right Hand, Pair, or Pair (PINNED). If you want one side only, pick the hand that matches the side of the door you are trimming; if you are doing both faces, order the Pair and skip the handing decision.
4) What backset does the Baldwin 5161 lever set use?
2-3/8 inch backset, which is the standard residential bore location. If the doors in the building were drilled at 2-3/4 inches, the hole centers will not line up without redrilling, so measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore before you commit to a fleet order.
5) Can an Imperial USA TH1100 lever handle be used in place of a Baldwin 5161 lever?
They are both lever handles, but they are ordered differently at the door. The Baldwin 5161 lever is reversible, so one part covers a left-hand or right-hand opening, and it is also sold as a pair, a pair (pinned), or a half pair in a specific left hand or right hand. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is offered as a left hand part, so the hand has to be identified at the door before it is ordered. On a mixed-swing corridor where hands are not being tracked door by door, the reversible 5161 lever absorbs both swings from one line item.
6) How far does the Baldwin 5161 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the grip?
Projection is 2.65 inches off the face of the door, with a 4.75 inch lever grip. That projection is the number to check against a door that swings into a tight return wall, a cabinet, or an adjacent door, and the 4.75 inch grip is a full-hand lever rather than a stub.
7) Is the Baldwin 5161 lever suitable for a commercial office or apartment corridor?
It is a residential-rated lever on a tubular mortise lock type, so it belongs on unit interiors, model homes, and high-end residential openings rather than a commercial corridor with a graded-hardware spec. For a leasing corridor or a code-driven commercial opening, a lever built to a commercial cycle and grade spec is the right call instead.
8) Can I use the Baldwin 5161 lever for a passage door and a bathroom privacy door in the same house?
Yes, the same 5161 lever trim carries across passage, privacy, full dummy, and half dummy sets, so you can run one lever design through the whole floor and change only the function underneath. On a closet or a pair of French doors where nothing has to latch, the dummy version gives you the identical look with no operating mechanism.
9) What finishes does the Baldwin 5161 Estate lever come in?
Fourteen finishes, spanning brass tones (Polished Brass, Non-Lacquered Brass, Vintage Brass, Satin Brass, Satin Brass Black, Satin Brass Brown), nickels (Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Graphite Nickel), bronzes (Oil Rubbed Bronze, Venetian Bronze, Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze), plus Satin Black and Polished Chrome. If you are matching existing openings in a building, the Non-Lacquered Brass will keep living and patina while the lacquered and plated finishes hold their look.
10) What is the difference between a Baldwin 5161 lever and an Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever for a residential interior door?
The Baldwin 5161 is an Estate lever in a contemporary rectangular design, rated residential, with a 4.75 inch grip length, 2.65 inch projection, and a 2-3/8 inch backset, and it fits doors from 1.375 inch up to 1.75 inch thick. It is a trim lever - the rose is sold separately - which lets it be built into passage, privacy, dummy, or mortise sets and matched across a home in fourteen finishes from polished brass and polished nickel through satin black and oil rubbed bronze. The Imperial USA offering is the TH1100 Series lever handle. Where a job is being standardized on one lever style and finish across many interior doors, the finish range and the mix-and-match rose approach on the 5161 are the deciding factors.
11) What is the difference between the Pair and the Pair (PINNED) option on the Baldwin 5161 lever?
Both give you lever trim for both faces of the door. The distinction is on the order form: Pair (PINNED) is the pinned version of that same two-sided set, so specify it when your set calls for pinned levers rather than the standard pair. If you only need one face, the half pair options are ordered by hand instead.
12) Is the Baldwin 5161 lever solid brass or plated pot metal?
Solid brass construction, which is what gives the lever its weight in the hand. The Polished Nickel version is nickel-plated over that brass body with a high gloss finish.
13) Can I mix the Baldwin 5161 lever with knobs on other doors in the same house?
Yes. Because the 5161 is sold as trim rather than a complete set, you can run levers on the doors that need an easier grip and knobs elsewhere, in the same finish, and pair either with the rose or escutcheon of your choice. On a mortise lock opening the same lever works with handleset trim or escutcheon plates instead of a rose.
