Baldwin 5173102RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin 5173 lever come with the 5046 rose, or do I order the rose separately?
The rose is sold separately. The 5173 is the lever trim on its own, meant to be paired with a rose of your choosing, and the 5046 round rose is the pairing shown. Order the lever and the rose as two line items, plus the latch or lock mechanism for the function you need.
2) What backset does the Baldwin 5173 lever set use, and will it work in an existing 2-3/4 inch bore?
The 5173 is specified at a 2-3/8 inch backset. That is the shorter of the two standard residential backsets, so if your existing door is prepped at 2-3/4 inch the latch hole will not line up without re-prepping or sourcing a 2-3/4 inch latch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before ordering.
3) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5173 lever handed?
The lever itself is reversible, so it works on a left or right hand door. Handing only enters the order when you buy a half pair: the Type choices are Half Pair Left Hand, Half Pair Right Hand, Pair, or Pair (PINNED). Buy a full pair for a two-sided opening and you don't need to decide handing at all.
4) How far does the Baldwin 5173 lever stick out from the door?
Lever projection is 4.6 inches. That matters on a door that swings into a tight corner, beside a cabinet run, or next to a wall return, and it matters for a door that has to pass a nearby jamb or trim. Check the swing clearance before you commit on a narrow hallway or a closet next to a wall.
5) When would I buy a half pair of the Baldwin 5173 lever instead of a pair?
A half pair covers one face of the door. That's what you want for a half dummy on a closet or pantry door, for replacing a single damaged lever, or when you want a lever on one side and a knob on the other. A pair covers both faces for passage, privacy, or full dummy applications. The pinned pair option is the one to specify when the lever needs to be pinned to the spindle rather than free.
6) Is the Baldwin 5173 lever suitable for a commercial building or a high-traffic office?
It is specified as residential. For a house, condo, or apartment interior it's the right product. For a commercial opening where you need an ANSI/BHMA graded lockset and a fire label, this trim is not the item to spec.
7) Can I use the Baldwin 5173 lever on a mortise lock instead of a tubular latch?
Yes. The 5173 is Estate-line trim that pairs either with roses for interior tubular sets or with handleset trim and escutcheon plates on a mortise lockset. The lock type given for the standard set is tubular mortise. If you're going the mortise route, order the escutcheon rather than the 5046 round rose.
8) I only need to replace the lever on one side of a door - is the Baldwin 5173 or an Imperial TH1100 the right way to order that?
Both can be bought as a single-side lever. The Baldwin 5173 is offered as a half pair in left hand and in right hand, so you order the hand that matches the side you are replacing, and the lever itself is reversible. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is offered in a left hand version, so it covers a left hand side only. For a right hand single-side swap, the 5173 half pair right hand is the one to order.
9) What is the Baldwin 5173 actually made of?
Baldwin Estate hardware is built in solid brass, and the plated finishes are brass underneath: Polished Nickel is a high gloss nickel plate over brass, and Lifetime Satin Nickel is a PVD nickel plate over solid brass. That's why the lever has weight to it compared with a die-cast or hollow tube lever.
10) What is the style of the Baldwin 5173 lever, and will it look right with traditional trim?
It's a contemporary Estate design, a simple fluid lever on a round rose, with clean lines rather than ornament. It suits modern and transitional interiors. On a heavily traditional house with paneled doors and ornate casing, a more decorative Estate lever profile will read better.
11) Which lever gives me the widest finish selection for matching hardware throughout a home?
The Baldwin 5173 lever is produced in 14 finishes, including Polished Brass, Non-Lacquered Brass, Vintage Brass, Satin Brass, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Graphite Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Venetian Bronze, Satin Black, Polished Chrome and Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze, and the levers and roses are meant to be mixed and matched across passage, privacy and dummy sets. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is identified by series and hand rather than by a comparable finish range, so for whole-house finish matching the 5173 is the one to specify.
