No. The Baldwin 6310 is built on a 2-1/2 inch backset, which is the Estate Series residential standard, not the 2-3/4 inch backset used on most commercial mortise prep. Dropping it into a 2-3/4 inch pocket puts the knob spindle a quarter inch off from the existing bore, so the cross-bore and spindle holes won't line up. If your door is prepped 2-3/4, look at a commercial body like the Hager 3800 Series, which is built at 2-3/4 inch backset.

Handing matters. The 6310 lock body is sold left hand and right hand, so it is not field reversible the way many commercial bodies are. Stand on the outside of the door (the side you key from): if the hinges are on your left and the door swings away from you, that's left hand; hinges on the right, right hand. Order the wrong hand and the latch bevel faces the wrong way. If you want a body that can be flipped on site instead, the BEST 45H Series lock body is field reversible.

It's a keyed entrance lock with a separate deadbolt. The knob retracts the latch for normal passage, the key works the outside, and the deadbolt throws 1 inch with saw-proof inserts in it, so the bolt resists being cut through in the gap between door and frame. That's the function you want on a front entry or an exterior door where you need a real deadbolt behind the knob rather than just a latch.

The latch faceplate measures 1-1/4 x 8 inches, so the edge of the door has to be routed for an 8 inch faceplate mortise with the pocket behind it set to a 2-1/2 inch backset. On a replacement job, measure the existing faceplate first: anything shorter than 8 inches means you'll be lengthening the edge prep, and a shorter old plate won't cover the new cutout if you ever go back.

The 6310 works with an ASA strike, the standard 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch commercial-style strike cutout. If your frame is already prepped for ASA, the frame side carries over. If the door currently has a small residential T-strike, the frame will need to be enlarged for the ASA opening, plus a separate pocket depth for the 1 inch deadbolt throw.

Baldwin lists the 6310 as residential, Estate Series. It's built for houses and high-end residential entries, not for the cycle counts and code requirements of a commercial corridor. For multifamily corridors or institutional openings, buyers normally spec a Grade 1 commercial body such as the Cal-Royal NM8080 storeroom lockset or the Accentra 8805FL from the 8800 Series.

It's the lock body only. Knobs, roses or escutcheons, spindles and the cylinder are ordered separately, which is how Baldwin Estate Series is put together so you can match trim across the house. Plan on specifying the trim set and cylinder alongside the body so the job finishes in one trip.

The Baldwin 6310 is an Entrance/Storeroom mortise lock body in the Estate Series, catalogued for residential use. For a commercial storeroom opening, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series supplied with the 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. Both are lever-operated, where the 6310 is a knob by knob configuration.

The Baldwin 6310 is built for Entrance/Storeroom function only. For classroom function, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset in the ML2000 Series, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Marks USA LA318GJ adds a classroom security indicator and ships with an ANSI strike.

1-3/8 inch and over. That covers the common 1-3/8 inch interior door and the 1-3/4 inch standard exterior door, and it will go into thicker custom entry doors as well. Thickness affects the spindle and cylinder length you run, not the body itself.

No. The Baldwin 6310 is a keyed Entry / Entrance/Storeroom mortise lock. For a bed or bath opening you want a privacy function instead: the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a 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 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Note the Hager backset differs from the 6310's 2-1/2 inch backset, so the mortise pocket layout is not the same.

For a non-locking opening, skip the keyed entry body. 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 mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Baldwin 6310 by contrast is a keyed entry body with a 1 inch throw deadbolt.

The Baldwin 6310 is a purely mechanical mortise lock body operated by knob and key. For code entry, the Accentra nexTouch NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override with no deadbolt, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. These are electronic platforms rather than a drop-in for a mechanical knob set.

They look similar in style but they do not do the same job. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are all dummy function, meaning they are trim only with no working latch or bolt. The Baldwin 6310 is a working Entrance/Storeroom mortise lock body with a 1 inch throw deadbolt with saw-proof inserts, so it is the one that actually secures the door.

The Baldwin 6310 combines a latch and a 1 inch throw deadbolt in one Entrance/Storeroom mortise body. If the opening only needs a bolt, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock supplied with no handing. Because they carry no latch, they will not hold the door closed on their own.

Yes, the Baldwin 6310 is ordered by hand, in left hand or right hand, alongside the finish choice. If you would rather not commit to a hand, the BEST 45H Series public entrance mortise lock body and the Falcon MA101 passage lock are both field reversible, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is supplied with no handing.

The Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon, non-keyed, on a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch doors. The Baldwin 6310 covers the same entrance family with a knob by knob trim and a 2-1/2 inch backset, so confirm the mortise pocket backset before swapping.

The Baldwin 6310 is an Entrance/Storeroom function lock. For a corridor or dorm room door, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, which is the function normally specified for that opening.

No, the Baldwin 6310 is a mechanical Entrance/Storeroom mortise lock body with no electrified option. For an electrified opening, the Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC in storeroom function, the BEST 45HW Series is a wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A lever offers electric lock/unlock on the outside lever with request to exit on 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin 6310 is an Estate Series residential knob by knob mortise lock and is not an anti-ligature design. For those openings, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel.

Only if you are prepared to change the door prep. The Baldwin 6310 is a mortise lock body that drops into a mortise pocket on a 2-1/2 inch backset 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 and requires a bored cylindrical prep instead, so it is not an interchangeable swap in an existing mortised door.

Two: 003 Polished Brass PVD and 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, each available left hand or right hand. The PVD polished brass is a plated finish that holds up to handling and weather better than a lacquered brass, which matters on an exterior entry. Match the body finish to the knob and rose trim you order with it.
