It is the lock body only. The 6318 is built to work with knob x knob or lever x lever trim, with the latch bolt retracted by the knob or lever from either side, but the trim, roses or escutcheons, and spindles are ordered separately from the Baldwin Estate Series to match the rest of your doors.

Yes. The 6318031LLS is built left hand, so the latch is not field reversible on this part number. Stand outside the door: if it is hinged on your left and swings away from you, that is left hand. Get it wrong and the latch bevel faces the wrong way and will not catch the strike. For a passage mortise that is field reversible, the Falcon MA101 is a reversible option.

It uses an ASA strike, the standard commercial-style mortise strike with the large rectangular lip. If your frame is already cut for an ASA strike, the frame prep carries over. The lock face is 1-1/4 x 8 inches, so the mortise pocket in the door edge has to accept a faceplate of that size.

No. Passage function means the latch retracts from either side at all times with no locking and no cylinder, which suits halls, closets, and rooms that never need to be secured. For a bedroom or bath you want privacy function, with a thumbturn inside. The Hager 3840S is a privacy mortise lock, and the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt.

The Baldwin 6318 is a residential Estate Series passage mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset. For a commercial opening carrying heavy traffic, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, and the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are non-keyed passage functions like the 6318, so the door operates by lever from either side with no locking.

It is a residential lock from Baldwin's Estate Series, so it is meant for interior house and high-end residential openings, not institutional traffic or code-driven commercial openings. For commercial passage, the Schlage PM010 and the Falcon MA101 are Grade 1 passage mortise locks; the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage mortise with anti-ligature lever trim for behavioral health work.

If the old body is a Baldwin 6318 passage unit, left hand, with a 2-1/2 inch backset and a 1-1/4 x 8 inch faceplate, the 6318031LLS drops into the same pocket and your existing Estate Series knob or lever trim carries over. Check the backset on the old body first, since Baldwin mortise bodies also come in other backsets and a mismatch moves the trim holes.

A mortise body like the Baldwin 6318 needs a pocket cut into the door edge, which is the right call when the doors are already mortised or when you want Estate Series trim. If you are prepping fresh doors and just need passage function, a cylindrical lock installs through a simple bored hole. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with rose trim for that case.

They serve the same passage function but need different door prep. The Baldwin 6318 is a mortise lock body requiring a mortise pocket in the door edge and takes an ASA strike. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with rose trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, which bores through the door face instead. Swapping between them means changing the door preparation, so match whichever prep the existing door already has.

The 6318 has no cylinder and no locking, so it cannot be keyed. For a keyed mortise opening, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with the Arcadia lever, and for classroom duty the Corbin Russwin ML2003 and Cal-Royal NM8070 are both Grade 1 classroom mortise locksets for 1-3/4 inch doors.

No. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane and 3102 Memphis mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, meaning they are fixed trim with no working latch. The Baldwin 6318 is a working passage lock body whose latch bolt retracts by knob or lever from either side, so it actually latches the door closed. Use a dummy set only on an inactive leaf or a door that does not need to latch.

The Baldwin 6318 is a residential Estate Series body and has no anti-ligature trim. For that use, 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, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with ligature-resistant arch trim. The Marks USA MAR5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant.

031 is non-lacquered brass, meaning raw brass with no clear coat, so it will darken and patina over time rather than holding a fixed color. On a mortise lock body the finish mostly matters for matching the exposed latch faceplate to the trim you pair it with.

The 6318 is a mechanical passage body with no electronics. For access control on a mortise prep, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 pushbutton and card mortise lock, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors.

No, they do different jobs. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and no latch, so it locks the door but will not hold it closed in daily use. The Baldwin 6318 is a passage lock body with a latch bolt retracted by knob or lever from either side. Openings that need both are usually served by a combined lockset such as the Sargent 7925 dormitory function mortise lock with a single cylinder deadbolt.
