Baldwin BAL-5165.055.RDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Baldwin 5165 half dummy right hand only, or can I use it on a left hand door?
The 5165 lever is listed as reversible for handing, so the same lever can be oriented for either hand of door. Handing on a dummy lever is purely about which way the lever points once mounted, not about latch function, since there is no latch in a half dummy.
2) Is the Baldwin 5165 half dummy suitable for a commercial corridor or office building?
It is classed as residential hardware with a contemporary round rose, so it suits homes, condos and multi-family unit interiors. For a commercial opening where a facility needs an ANSI grade behind the dummy trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy lever.
3) What should I use instead of a Baldwin 5165 half dummy if the door actually needs a working latch?
The Baldwin 5165 is a half dummy - it is surface-mounted trim with no latch and no locking feature, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching but non-locking interior door, passage function levers include the Bravura Atlanta with round trim, a Grade 2 passage leverset, the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset, and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For commercial openings, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock rated for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and fire rated.
4) I need dummy levers on both sides of a door - is the Baldwin 5165 half dummy the right part?
The Baldwin 5165 with 5046 rose is a half dummy, meaning trim for one face of the door only, so a two-sided application takes two of them or a pair product. Options sold as dummy pairs include the Emtek Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair and the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim if you only need one face.
5) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin 5165 half dummy lever for a dummy application on an institutional door?
The Baldwin 5165 with 5046 rose is a residential half dummy lever. For institutional or commercial dummy trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Both are dummy function like the 5165, but carry ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 ratings for higher-traffic openings.
6) Will the Baldwin 5165 half dummy work on a 2 inch thick door?
No. The Baldwin 5165 half dummy covers doors from 1.375 inch to 1.75 inch thick. For thicker slabs, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/4 to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/4 to 2 inch. Those are latching passage locks rather than dummy trim, so confirm the opening needs a latch.
7) Do I need to bore the door for a Baldwin 5165 half dummy, or does it mount to an existing 2-1/8 inch hole?
It suits the 2-1/8 inch standard bore prep, so it drops onto a door already prepped for a cylindrical set. On a fresh door with no prep, a half dummy only needs mounting for the rose, since there is no latch and no cross bore work beyond the standard hole.
8) How far does the Baldwin 5165 lever stick out from the door face, and how long is the lever?
Projection off the door face is 2.5 inches and the lever grip length is 4.58 inches. Worth checking against a tight door swing, an adjacent wall return, or a cabinet that the lever could strike in a narrow closet opening.
9) What finishes does the Baldwin 5165 half dummy come in so I can match the rest of my door hardware?
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 passage and privacy sets already on the other openings rather than matching by name, since bronze and nickel names vary between makers.
10) Can I use the Baldwin 5165 dummy on a closet door instead of a passage lever to save cost?
Only if something else keeps the door shut. A dummy has no latch, so the door needs a ball catch, magnetic catch, or roller catch. If the closet door relies on a latch and strike, use a passage set instead, such as the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset or the Bravura Miramar Grade 2 passage leverset with round trim.
11) Is there another residential-style dummy lever comparable to the Baldwin 5165 with 5046 rose?
The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and is the closest residential-style peer by function. The Baldwin 5165 is offered with the round 5046 rose and a 4.58 inch lever grip, in finishes including satin brass, polished nickel, satin nickel, graphite nickel, oil rubbed bronze, Venetian bronze, satin black and polished chrome. Emtek also offers dummy levers in the Hammered and Arts and Crafts designs if the trim styling matters more than a contemporary round rose.
12) What looks like a substitute for the Baldwin 5165 half dummy but is not?
Keyed and privacy levers are not interchangeable with it. The Baldwin 5165 is a dummy with no locking or privacy feature, while the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lock, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt. All of those require full bore and latch prep and will operate as locks, which a half dummy does not.
13) Backset does not apply to a dummy, so why is 2-3/8 inch listed on the Baldwin 5165?
2-3/8 inches is the backset reference for the 5165 family, which matters when you are pairing this dummy with matching functional sets on the same run of doors. The dummy itself has no latch, so nothing is bored at the door edge for it.
14) What is the model number to order the Baldwin round rose dummy lever?
The model is Baldwin 5165.RDM, the 5165 lever on the 5046 round rose in half dummy function. Specify the finish number with it, for example 5165.RDM in 056 Satin Nickel.
