Baldwin 5173102RDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Baldwin 5173 half dummy lever actually do, and does it latch?
A half dummy is a lever and rose only, with no latch and no working mechanism. The Baldwin 5173 with the 5046 round rose mounts a single lever on one face of the door as a pull. There's no latchbolt, no spindle through the door, and nothing to turn. Use it on a closet door held shut by a roller or magnetic catch, on the inactive leaf of a French pair, or on a false drawer or cabinet front where you want the hardware to match the rest of the openings. If you need the door to actually stay closed on its own, you need a passage lockset instead.
2) Does a Baldwin 5173 half dummy need a 2-1/8 inch bore hole in the door?
No bore is needed for the half dummy. It's surface-mounted to one face and fastened through the rose, so a blank door works fine. That matters if you're putting one on a closet or an inactive French door leaf that was never prepped. Baldwin's 5173 lever family does use the 2-1/8 inch standard door preparation on the latching versions, so if you're matching a half dummy to bored passage sets elsewhere in the house, the levers and roses line up visually even though only the passage doors carry the bore.
3) Do I need to order a right hand and a left hand Baldwin 5173 dummy separately for a pair of doors?
No. The 5173 lever is reversible, so one part number covers both hands. Mount it either way on either leaf of a French pair. The "right hand" in the model name describes how it ships oriented, not a restriction. Order two of the same item for a pair.
4) Will the Baldwin 5173 dummy lever work on a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The 5173 covers doors from 1.37 inches up to 1.75 inches thick, which spans both the common older 1-3/8 inch interior door and the 1-3/4 inch standard. Anything thicker than 1.75 inches is outside the range. On a dummy the thickness matters less than on a latching set since nothing passes through the door, but the mounting screws are sized to that range.
5) Should I buy a half dummy or a full dummy for my French doors?
Depends on which side you touch. A half dummy is one lever on one face of the door. A full dummy puts a lever on both faces. For the inactive leaf of a French pair that you only pull from inside a room, the 5173 half dummy is the right call, and it's the cheaper way to get the look. If the door gets used from both sides, such as a closet you walk into or a double door between two rooms, you want the dummy pair instead. Same lever, same 5046 rose, twice the hardware.
6) Is the Baldwin 5173 lever rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
The 5173 is a residential lever, not a commercial one. For single family homes, condo interiors, and unit doors in multi-family it's fine. For a corridor, a stairwell, or anything on a life-safety or code-driven opening in a commercial building, specify a commercial grade lockset instead. On a dummy the traffic argument is weaker since there's no mechanism to wear out, but the fastening and the finish spec are built for a home.
7) Can I use a Baldwin 5173 half dummy to replace a broken lever on a closet door that already has a hole bored in it?
Not cleanly. The half dummy has no latch and mounts to the face, so it won't fill an existing 2-1/8 inch bore or drive the latch already in the edge of the door. The 5046 round rose will hide the bore face, but you're left with a latch in the edge that nothing operates and a door that no longer stays shut unless a catch holds it. If the closet door has a bore and a latch already, order the 5173 in passage function instead and you reuse the existing prep.
8) What is the backset on a Baldwin 5173, and does the dummy version have one?
The 5173 lever family is a tubular set with a 2-3/8 inch backset on the latching versions, the shorter of the two standard residential backsets. The half dummy has no latch, so no backset applies to it. What matters for the dummy is where you place it: set the rose center at 2-3/8 inches from the door edge to match the lever height and line on the surrounding bored doors, and the whole run will look consistent.
