Baldwin BAL-5165.076.LDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does half dummy mean on the Baldwin 5165 lever, and does it actually latch the door?
Half dummy means one lever on one face of the door, with no latch, no spindle through the door, and no locking. The Baldwin 5165 lever in the half dummy function is surface mounted trim only, used as a pull on a door that does not need to latch, such as a closet slab, a false active leaf, or a pantry door held by a ball catch or magnetic catch. If you need the door to stay shut and operate, you want a passage set with a latch instead.
2) I ordered a left hand 5165 dummy lever, but my door swings the other way. Can I flip it?
Lever handing on the 5165 is reversible, so the same lever can be set to point in either direction. Handing on a dummy is purely cosmetic since there is no latch involved, but it does need to match the other levers on the opening so everything points the same way.
3) Is the Baldwin 5165 lever rated for commercial use in an office building?
No. The 5165 with the 5046 rose is a residential product, contemporary styling for homes rather than a graded commercial lockset. For a commercial dummy on a heavier opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty.
4) I need dummy levers on both faces of a door. Does one 5165 half dummy cover that?
No. A half dummy is a single lever for one face only, so a double door or a door needing a pull on each side takes two. If you would rather buy a matched pair in one order, Emtek sells dummy pairs, including the Arts and Crafts lever and the Cortina lever from the Classic Brass leverset line.
5) What is the difference between the Baldwin 5165 dummy lever and a passage lever, and which do I need for a closet?
A dummy lever is trim only and does nothing mechanically. A passage lever has a working latch that holds the door closed without any locking. For a closet door that needs to stay shut on a latch, use a passage set such as the Bravura Miramar round trim passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass or the Callan Asheville passage leverset in satin nickel, both Grade 2 and Grade 3 respectively. Use the 5165 half dummy only where a catch or roller already holds the door.
6) Can the Baldwin 5165 half dummy be locked or used on a bathroom door?
No locking or privacy feature is built into the 5165 dummy. There is no thumbturn, no pushbutton, and no cylinder, so it cannot secure a bath or bedroom. For privacy on a residential door, a privacy function set is what you need, for example the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever, which covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin 5165 half dummy lever for a heavy-traffic opening?
The Baldwin 5165 with 5046 rose is a half dummy lever built for residential use. Where a heavy-duty commercial dummy trim is required, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy cylindrical lever trim is Grade 1, heavy duty and non-keyed, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock. Both carry the same dummy function - a fixed pull with no latch - in a commercial-rated body.
8) I need dummy levers on both sides of a double door - is the Baldwin 5165 the right part?
The Baldwin 5165 with 5046 rose is a half dummy, meaning one lever on one face. For both faces, Emtek supplies dummy leversets sold as pairs, including the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair. Alternatively two half dummies can be ordered to dress both sides.
9) Which levers look like the Baldwin 5165 half dummy but will not work on a bathroom or bedroom door?
The Baldwin 5165 half dummy has no privacy or locking feature, so it is not a bed or bath solution despite the similar lever appearance. For those doors a privacy function is needed, such as the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy leverset, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
10) Do I need to drill a 2-1/8 inch bore hole for a Baldwin 5165 half dummy?
The 5165 series is built around the 2.125 inch standard door preparation with a 2-3/8 inch backset, so it drops into an existing bored door without new prep. On a fresh door that will only ever carry the dummy lever, no cross bore for a latch is needed, but matching the standard prep keeps the option open to swap in a functioning lockset later.
11) How far does the Baldwin 5165 lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2.5 inches off the face, with a 4.58 inch lever grip length. That matters on a dummy in a tight spot, such as a closet door beside a wall return or a cased opening, where a 2.5 inch projection plus the lever length decides whether the door clears adjacent trim or a swinging door next to it.
12) What finishes does the Baldwin 5165 half dummy lever come in so I can match my other doors?
Eight finishes: 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. Match the Baldwin finish number on the working locksets elsewhere in the house so the dummy reads as part of the same set.
13) Is there a simpler dummy lever than the Baldwin 5165 for a closet or pantry door in a rental unit?
For a straightforward fixed dummy pull, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a medium duty Grade 2 single dummy trim cylindrical lever. Both perform the same non-latching, non-locking job as the Baldwin 5165 half dummy, which is offered in eight finishes including satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze and satin black for matching existing trim.
14) The Baldwin 5165 maxes out at 1.75 inch door thickness - what dummy or lever option covers a thicker door?
The Baldwin 5165 half dummy fits doors from 1.37 inch to 1.75 inch. For thicker slabs, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead entry levers cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
15) If I standardize on the Baldwin 5165 half dummy for closets, what matching keyed lever handles the entry doors?
The Baldwin 5165 is a non-keyed half dummy with a round 5046 rose. Keyed entry levers in the same round-rose style include the Deltana 5851 Claremont entry lever, the Callan Artino Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
16) Is a keyless keypad lever an alternative to the Baldwin 5165 half dummy?
No - the Baldwin 5165 half dummy is fixed trim with no latch or locking feature, so it does not control access. If access control is the goal, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant with passage function for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) What is the Baldwin part number and rose shape on the 5165 dummy lever?
The model is 5165.LDM, the left hand half dummy, paired with the 5046 rose, which is round. The finish number follows the model when ordering, for example 5165.LDM in 056 Satin Nickel.
18) I want a square rose instead of the round rose on the Baldwin 5165 - what are my options?
The Baldwin 5165 pairs with the 5046 rose, which is round. For a square trim profile on a lever, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 leverset with square trim; round-trim peers include the Bravura Orlando and the Bravura Miramar, both Grade 2.
