Deadbolt only. The Baldwin 6160 is a mortise deadlock, meaning there is no latchbolt and no knob or lever function in the case. It throws a bolt from a thumbturn on one side and a key cylinder on the other, so it gets paired with a separate handleset, knob, or pull that carries the passage latching. If you need one case that both latches and bolts, look at a combination mortise lockset instead.

No. The 6160 case is built for a 2-3/4 inch backset, which puts the cylinder and turn piece centerline 2-3/4 inches back from the door edge. A 2-3/8 inch prep will not line up with the cylinder and turn holes, so the door needs reboring or a different case.

The faceplate on the 6160 measures 1-1/4 by 8 inches, so the door edge has to be routed for that plate with the pocket behind it sized to the case. If you are replacing an older mortise deadlock, compare that 1-1/4 x 8 inch faceplate to what is in the door before you cut anything, since a shorter or narrower existing plate means patching the edge.

Yes. The 6160 is rated for doors 1-3/4 inches and over, so thicker custom entry doors are in range. What changes with thickness is the cylinder length and the turn piece spindle, so those have to be sized to the actual door, not the case.

What is described here is the mortise lock body, the 6160 case itself. The keyed cylinder, the interior turn piece, and any exterior escutcheon or rose are separate items sized to your door thickness and keyed to your system, so specify those alongside the case.

The Baldwin 6160 is a turn piece by cylinder deadlock on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it is keyed from one side and operated by a thumbturn from the other. If both sides need to be key-operated, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on the same 2-3/4 inch backset. That configuration removes the inside turn piece, which matters for egress code in many commercial openings, so confirm your local requirement before specifying it.

The Baldwin 6160 is a deadlock only, meaning it throws a bolt and has no latch or lever to hold the door closed. For an opening that needs both, look at a lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch such as the Cal-Royal NM8050 Grade 1 entrance/office mortise lockset, or the Cal-Royal NM8440 Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt, both built for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those give you a latching function and a bolt in one lock case.

The Baldwin 6160 is an Estate Series residential mortise deadlock. For commercial corridor and classroom openings, the Grade 1 mortise locksets are the usual specification: the Corbin Russwin ML2003 classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series, the Cal-Royal NM8070 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset, or the Sargent 7925 Grade 1 corridor/dormitory mortise lock with a single cylinder deadbolt. Those carry the ANSI Grade 1 rating that institutional specifications usually call out.

No handing to specify. The 6160 case is completely reversible and works on all door conditions, so one part covers left hand, right hand, and reverse bevel openings. The only choice on the order is finish.

It is classified as residential hardware. For a school, office, or other commercial opening where a graded lock is specified, a Grade 1 mortise product is the right direction, for example the Sargent 4874 double cylinder mortise deadbolt, which also uses a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Baldwin 6160 is built for residential and high-end custom entry doors.

The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt-function mortise lock supplied with no handing, so it is functionally in the same family as the Baldwin 6160 deadlock, which is completely reversible for all door conditions. The difference is the trim story: the Baldwin 6160 is an Estate Series body specified for a turn piece on one side and a cylinder on the other, on a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/4 by 8 inch faceplate. Match your existing mortise pocket and faceplate cutout before swapping either way.

The Baldwin 6160 is a mechanical deadlock operated by cylinder and turn piece. For a keyless opening, the Alarm Lock DL4500 Series is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch thick, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. Note the DL4500 door thickness window, since the Baldwin 6160 is specified for doors 1-3/4 inch and over.

No - those are different scopes of supply. The Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn in the 8200 Series, and the Sargent 130W is a thumbturn with a round backplate in the 7800 Series; both are trim pieces that mount to an existing mortise lock body. The Baldwin 6160 is the lock body itself, a heavy gauge steel case with solid forged brass working parts on a 2-3/4 inch backset. If your mortise pocket is empty, you need the body, not just the turn.

The Baldwin 6160 is a deadlock, so it is the wrong function for a non-locking opening. For passage duty, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty field reversible mortise passage lock, and the Hager 3810S is a 3800 Series passage mortise lock with rose on the same 2-3/4 inch backset the Baldwin uses.

The Baldwin 6160 is specified for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. For thin ornamental iron and similar stiles, the Marks USA 21AC and 22AC entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with round knob are listed for 1 inch doors. Those are keyed both sides rather than turn by cylinder, so check your egress requirement before choosing one.

A deadlock like the Baldwin 6160 bolts the door but does not latch it, which is rarely what a storeroom wants. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option if you are keying into an existing IC system.

Heavy gauge steel case with solid forged brass working parts. That combination is what you are paying for on a residential mortise deadlock versus a stamped tubular deadbolt, and it is why the case tolerates a heavy custom door.

No. The Emtek 3102 Memphis, along with the 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan, are dummy-function mortise entrance locksets - they mount decorative trim with no working bolt. The Baldwin 6160 is a working deadlock body with a cylinder on one side and a turn piece on the other. Use the Emtek dummies on an inactive leaf and the Baldwin 6160 where the door actually has to lock.
