No. The 6301 is built to a 2-1/2 inch backset, so the spindle and cylinder holes in a door prepped for the common 2-3/4 inch commercial backset will not line up. If your door is prepped 2-3/4, look at a 2-3/4 backset mortise body instead, such as the Sargent 4874 double cylinder mortise deadbolt or the Hager 3800 Series bodies, all of which are 2-3/4 backset. The 6301 suits doors prepped for Baldwin's Estate Series 2-1/2 inch pocket.

Doors 1-3/4 inches thick and over. That covers standard 1-3/4 inch entry doors and the thicker custom and double-door slabs common on Estate Series openings. It will not suit a thin 1-3/8 inch interior door.

Handing must be specified when you order. The 6301 lock body comes as a distinct left hand or right hand item in each finish, so determine the hand at the door (stand outside, the side the hinges are on is the hand) before ordering. There is no field-reversible option offered.

Yes. The 6301 is an entrance and apartment function knob by knob mortise body set up for both single and double cylinder applications, so you can key the outside only, or key both sides for a double-cylinder installation where the inside also needs a key. Cylinders are specified separately from the lock body.

It takes an ASA strike, the standard 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch commercial cutout, and the lock's own latch faceplate measures 1-1/4 x 8 inches. If your frame currently carries an ASA prep you are in good shape; if the jamb has a small T-strike for a cylindrical lock, the frame has to be re-prepped.

This is the mortise lock body only. Knobs, roses or escutcheons, spindles, and cylinders are ordered separately, which is how Baldwin's Estate Series is built so you can pair one body with any of the series trim designs. Match the finish code across body and trim so the exposed parts agree.

It is a residential product. For apartment unit entry doors in a multi-family building it is a fit, but for a school, hospital, or high-traffic commercial corridor you want a Grade 1 commercial mortise lock instead, for example the Cal-Royal NM8050 Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset or the Corbin Russwin ML2003 in the ML2000 Series.

The Baldwin 6301 is a residential Estate Series entrance/apartment mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset. For a commercial-duty opening, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 entrance/office mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty corridor/dormitory mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. Both are lever or trim-complete commercial locksets rather than a knob-by-knob residential lock body, so trim, backset and strike prep need to be confirmed against the existing door.

The Baldwin 6301 is built for entrance and apartment use and will not give you classroom function. For classroom openings, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 ML2000 Series mortise classroom lockset, also for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin 6301 is a keyed entrance/apartment function, which is not what you want on a bath or bedroom. For privacy, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Note the Hager uses a 2-3/4 inch backset versus the 6301 at 2-1/2 inch, so the mortise pocket location differs.

No. The Baldwin 6301 is a functioning entrance/apartment mortise lock body that operates a latch and accepts single or double cylinder applications. The Emtek 3102 Memphis, along with the 3104 Hamilton, 3106 Manhattan and 3019 Brisbane, are dummy function mortise entrance locksets - they are inoperative trim for a fixed or inactive leaf and do not latch. Use a dummy only on the inactive side of a pair, not on the door that has to lock.

Six: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and 190 Satin Black. Each is offered in both left and right hand. Worth noting for a property manager matching a building: 031 Non-Lacquered Brass is a living finish that will patina, while the PVD finishes hold their color.

No. The 6301 is a knob by knob configuration. If the opening calls for lever trim, or ADA-style operation, go to a lever mortise lockset such as the Cal-Royal NM8050 entrance/office or the Hager 3850E office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon.

The 6301 is a latching entry body with knobs on both sides, so it is the wrong pick for a deadbolt-only opening. For deadbolt function, the Sargent 4874 double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset or the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise deadbolt are the direct answers.

That is exactly what the entrance/apartment function is for: keyed outside entry with the option of a second cylinder inside, on a body sized for 1-3/4 inch and thicker doors with an ASA strike prep. For rekeying across a set of units you specify the cylinders separately, which lets you keep one hardware standard and swap cylinders as tenants turn over. If you want keypad or credential access instead of keys, a keyed 6301 is not the path; an electronic mortise lock like the Schlage LE Series apartment-function unit covers that.

The 6301 is a mechanical entrance/apartment lock body keyed by cylinder only. For electronic access on similar openings, the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a mobile-enabled Grade 2 mortise lock with push button and LED offering privacy, office and apartment functions on 1-3/4 inch doors with a 3 hour fire rating, and the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock. Both require the door to be prepped for their own trim and battery or wiring provisions.

They do different jobs. The Baldwin 6301 is a knob-by-knob entrance/apartment mortise lock body with a latch, an ASA strike and a 1-1/4 inch by 8 inch latch faceplate. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and no latch or knob function, as is the Kaba Ilco 185 Series, a deadbolt function mortise lock supplied with no handing. A deadbolt adds a throw but will not operate the door.

Yes. The 6301 is a keyed entrance/apartment lock body. If the opening does not need to lock, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset.

The 6301 is an entrance/apartment function, where the outside can be left unlocked by the inside turn. For always-locked outside trim, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with Arcadia lever from the 8800 Series.

The Baldwin 6301 is specified for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, so a 1-5/8 inch door is below its range. Alarm Lock Trilogy mortise units cover thinner doors - the DL2700CR classroom and the DL3500CR classroom are Grade 1 and listed for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, as is the DL4500 Series electronic mortise deadbolt. Those are electronic keypad locks rather than mechanical knob sets.

No. The Baldwin 6301 is a mortise lock body that drops into a mortise pocket and uses an ASA strike with a 1-1/4 inch by 8 inch faceplate. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with rose for 1-3/4 inch doors - a bored-door lock with entirely different door prep, and non-keyed. Swapping between them means changing the door preparation.

The 6301 is mechanical and keyed only. For credentialed access on a mortise prep, the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and 3 hour fire rating, and the Accentra NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 nexTouch mortise lock with capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override.

The Baldwin 6301 lock body is ordered as left hand or right hand, so handing must be confirmed on the opening. Several commercial alternatives avoid that: the BEST 45H heavy duty public entrance mortise lock body is field reversible, the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 passage mortise lock is field reversible, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise lock is supplied with no handing.
