Baldwin BAL-5165.055.PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 5165 privacy lever fit a standard 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The 5165 privacy leverset covers doors from 1.37 inches up to 1.75 inches thick, so both the common older 1-3/8 inch interior door and a 1-3/4 inch slab are in range. It works with the standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep and a 2-3/8 inch backset.
2) My door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset. Can I use the Baldwin 5165?
No. The 5165 is built for a 2-3/8 inch backset, the usual residential dimension. On a door already bored at 2-3/4 inches from the edge to the center of the hole, the latch case will not reach the bore. For a 2-3/4 inch backset lever, look at a commercial cylindrical set such as the Cal-Royal AG03, which is listed at a 2-3/4 inch backset.
3) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5165 lever left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 5165 lever is reversible, so one set covers a left or right hand door and you set the lever direction at install. That makes it easier to stock a single part number across a building.
4) Is the Baldwin 5165 a bed and bath lock with a thumbturn, or just a passage lever?
Privacy function, the bed and bath configuration: locked from inside, no key cylinder. If you want the same look on a hall or closet door with no locking at all, order a passage set instead. For a keyed exterior door, neither works, you need an entry function.
5) Is the Baldwin 5165 lever heavy duty enough for an apartment building or office?
It is a residential-duty tubular cylindrical lockset, better suited to homes and light multi-family interiors than high-traffic commercial openings. For a commercial privacy application, a Grade 2 set like the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever, or the Grade 1 Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock, are the heavier options.
6) What is a lower-cost privacy lever alternative to the Baldwin 5165 for a bedroom or bath door?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, which covers the same range the Baldwin 5165 privacy lever handles at 1.375 inch to 1.75 inch. The Breton uses a round trim like the 5165's round 5046 rose, so it reads similarly on the door while coming from a residential builder line rather than Baldwin's Estate offering.
7) Is there a commercial-grade privacy lever to use instead of the Baldwin 5165 on a light commercial restroom?
The Baldwin 5165 privacy lever is a residential lockset. For a commercial restroom, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock that carries a fire rating, though it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever.
8) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch. What lever works where the Baldwin 5165 will not?
The Baldwin 5165 privacy lever tops out at a 1.75 inch maximum door thickness. On thicker doors, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead entry levers cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835 keyless lever lock covers 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch. Those are entry, passage, and keyless functions, so confirm the function matches the room before substituting.
9) How far does the Baldwin 5165 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the lever?
Projection is 2.5 inches off the face of the door, and the lever grip length is 4.58 inches. Worth checking against a door that swings back against a wall or into a tight bath, and against adjacent trim or a door stop.
10) What finishes does the Baldwin 5165 privacy lever come in so I can match the rest of my 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. The rose is the round 5046, so matching other Baldwin openings means matching both the finish number and the rose style.
11) Does the Baldwin 5165 come with the latch and strike, or do I need to buy those separately?
The set ships with what is needed to mount it on a prepped door, latch and strike plate included. You only need to add hardware if the frame prep does not match the strike supplied or the door is not already bored to the 2-1/8 inch standard.
12) What should I order instead of the Baldwin 5165 privacy lever for a closet or hall door that does not need to lock?
The Baldwin 5165 is a privacy/bed/bath function with a thumbturn-style locking interior, so it is more than a closet door needs. For passage duty, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever with round trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Atlanta round-trim passage leverset is a Grade 2 option in the same residential styling family.
13) I need a lever on the same bedroom door pair that does not latch at all. What matches the Baldwin 5165?
For a non-latching decorative side, look at a dummy lever rather than the Baldwin 5165, which is a latching privacy lockset. The Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair and the Emtek Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair are both dummy-function leversets, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. A dummy has no latch or bore hardware, so it will not secure the door the way the 5165's privacy function does.
14) Will a Grade 1 cylindrical lever like the Falcon K101 substitute for the Baldwin 5165?
Not for the same opening. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are passage function, meaning no locking at the door, while the Baldwin 5165 is a privacy lockset for bed and bath doors. Use a Grade 1 lever where you need the heavier duty rating on a door that stays unlocked.
15) Does the Baldwin 5165 come in a keyed entry version, or do I need a different lever?
The Baldwin 5165 with the 5046 rose is built as a privacy function lever, not keyed. Where the opening needs a key, the Deltana 5851 Claremont and 6411 Morant are entry-function levers, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which matches the 5165's door thickness range.
16) For a bathroom door that needs keyless code entry rather than a privacy thumbturn, what replaces the Baldwin 5165?
Instead of the Baldwin 5165 privacy lever, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is a passage-function keyless set noted as ADA compliant for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. These use a code at the door rather than the inside turn the 5165 uses.
17) I want a square rose instead of the round 5046 rose on the Baldwin 5165. What is the option?
The Baldwin 5165 privacy lever pairs with the round 5046 rose. For square trim, the Bravura Tampa is a square-trim passage leverset in Grade 2. Keep in mind the Tampa is passage function, so it will not give the bed and bath locking the 5165 privacy set provides.
18) Is the Baldwin 5165 reversible like the non-handed commercial levers?
Yes. The Baldwin 5165 privacy lever is reversible, so one part number serves left- and right-hand doors. Among the alternatives, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever are both described as non-handed, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible as well, so a mixed-door job does not need handed ordering with any of them.
