Baldwin 6301-260-0004 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the Baldwin 6301 armored front, and what does it do?
The 6301 is an armored front plate that mounts over the latchbolt, deadbolt, or stop on the edge of the door. Its job is to shield the cylinder assembly from tampering, so it is a security plate rather than a lock or a lever. It does not contain a bolt or a cylinder itself.
2) How wide is the front on the Baldwin 6301, and will it cover my existing mortise?
The front measures 1-1/4 inches wide. That matters on the door edge: a narrower existing mortise has to be widened to take it, and a wider cutout will leave a gap around the plate. Check the width of the pocket already routed in the edge.
3) Does ordering the Baldwin 6301 get me the latch or deadbolt too?
No. The 6301 is the armored front only, the plate that faces out of the door edge. The latchbolt, deadbolt, or stop it covers, plus the cylinder and interior trim, are ordered separately.
4) Is the Baldwin 6301 armored front meant for commercial openings or houses?
Baldwin lists the 6301 as a residential part in the Estate Series. It suits homes, condos, and multi-family units on that trim line. For a commercial opening where an ANSI/BHMA graded assembly is specified, this is not the part to write into the spec.
5) What finishes does the Baldwin 6301 come in, and can I match it to the rest of my Estate Series trim?
Four finishes are offered: 260 Polished Chrome, 003 Polished Brass PVD, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and 190 Satin Black. Those are standard Baldwin finish codes, so ordering the same code already on your Estate Series levers and escutcheons keeps the door edge matched to the rest of the opening.
6) I manage a building and want to stop people prying at the cylinder on entry doors. Is this the right fix?
An armored front like the 6301 hardens the door edge where the bolt and cylinder assembly sit, which is the point of attack when someone works at the lock from outside. It is a retrofit-style trim upgrade on Baldwin Estate Series doors with a 2-1/2 inch backset, not a replacement for the lock itself, so the existing bolt assembly stays in place.
