Baldwin 53000039 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 53000039 latch work on a 2-3/8 inch backset door, or do I need the 2-3/4 inch version?
One part covers both. The 53000039 latchbolt is adjustable, so it sets to either a 2-3/8 inch or a 2-3/4 inch backset without ordering a separate SKU. Those are the two standard residential backsets, so if you measure from the door edge to the center of the bore and get either number, this latch handles it.
2) What size faceplate does the Baldwin 53000039 replacement latch have, and will it drop into my existing mortise in the door edge?
The latch faceplate measures 1 x 2-1/4 inches. If the cutout in your door edge is that size (the standard square-corner face on Baldwin Estate prep), it drops straight in with no rework. Anything larger or a radius-corner mortise means you'll be patching or reshaping the edge.
3) Is the Baldwin 53000039 latch a replacement part or a complete lockset?
Replacement part only. The 53000039 is the latchbolt assembly by itself, the piece that goes into the door edge and throws into the strike. It does not include the levers, roses, spindle, or cylinder. If your Estate handle is fine and the latch is what failed or what needs a backset change, this is the piece you want.
4) Does the Baldwin 53000039 latch fit Baldwin Estate Series handles?
That's exactly what it's built for. The 53000039 is an Estate Series latch, so it mates with Baldwin Estate trim. It is not the part for Baldwin's Reserve or Prestige lines, or for another manufacturer's lockset, since latch chassis and spindle engagement differ between families.
5) What finishes does the Baldwin 53000039 replacement latchbolt come in, and does it need to match my door hardware?
Three: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and 190 Satin Black. The only visible piece is the faceplate on the door edge, so match it to the trim on the door. On a fleet of doors where the levers are Oil Rubbed Bronze, ordering the 102 keeps the edge from standing out when the door is open.
6) Is the Baldwin 53000039 latch rated for a commercial opening or an apartment building corridor?
It's a residential-duty part. Baldwin classes the 53000039 as residential, so for a high-traffic commercial door, a school corridor, or anything on a fire-rated opening, go with a commercial cylindrical or mortise lock instead. Inside apartment units, condos, and single-family doors it's on spec.
7) I'm changing a door from a 2-3/8 to a 2-3/4 inch backset. Can I reuse my Baldwin Estate handles?
Yes, if you swap the latch. The 53000039 adjusts between the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, so a new bore location in the door is handled by the latch rather than by buying a whole new Estate lockset. The faceplate mortise still needs to be 1 x 2-1/4 inches at the new position.
8) What is the Baldwin 53000039 latchbolt made of?
Brass and steel. Steel does the structural work in the latch and brass handles the finished faceplate, which is why the part is offered in plated and PVD finishes rather than raw.
