Baldwin BAL-6403-190.ENTR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order the Baldwin 6403 Cody handed, and how do I tell left from right?
Handing matters only if you take the lever. The 6403 Cody comes in a left hand and a right hand version of both the lever entry set and the lever dummy set. Choose the knob interior instead and handing goes away, since the 5024 oval knob is offered without a hand designation. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, that is a left hand door.
2) What is the difference between the Baldwin 6403 handleset with the 5024 oval knob and the one with the 5452V beavertail lever?
Only the inside trim changes. Both carry the same Cody full escutcheon gripset on the exterior; one puts a 5024 oval knob on the interior and the other a 5452V beavertail lever with a 4.09 inch grip length. The lever is the pick where anyone needs to operate the door with a full hand or an elbow, and it is the one that has to be ordered handed. The knob is non handed and simpler to stock across a building.
3) What does emergency egress mean on the Baldwin 6403 Cody handleset?
It means the inside knob or lever retracts the latch in one motion, so someone can get out without turning a key, a thumbturn, or a second device. That is what makes the single cylinder version usable on a residence or a unit door where a code official expects free egress from the inside. The keyed cylinder is on the outside only.
4) Should I order the entry version or the dummy version of the Baldwin 6403 Cody?
Order the single cylinder handleset for any leaf that actually latches and locks, and the full dummy for the inactive leaf of a pair or for a door that is held shut some other way. The dummy has no cylinder, no latch and no working mechanism, it is pull trim only. On a double door most people run one keyed 6403 on the active leaf and a matching 6403 dummy on the inactive leaf so both sides look identical.
5) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch. Which alternatives to the Baldwin 6403 Cody handleset still fit?
The 6403 Cody itself covers a minimum door thickness of 1 3/8 inch and a maximum of 2 inch, so a 2 inch door is within range. Among the alternatives, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock spans 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the widest of the group. The Dexter C1000 Asylum Grade 1 lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and Hager's 2510 passage, 2525 entry, and 2580 storeroom levers all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Arrow GL01 passage lever and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lock start at 1-3/4 inch and run to 2 inch, so they suit thick doors but not the thin end of the Cody's range.
6) What is a good alternative to the Baldwin 6403 Cody handleset for a commercial opening that needs an ANSI Grade 1 entry lock?
The Baldwin 6403 Cody is a residential-style full escutcheon handleset with an Entry function, sized for doors 1 3/8 inch through 2 inch thick. For a commercial opening where a graded cylindrical entry lock is specified, the Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lever is a Grade 1 cylindrical lever lock with a clutching mechanism, keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which matches the Cody's door thickness range while giving you a cylindrical commercial chassis instead of an escutcheon handleset.
7) I need a non-locking version for a closet or hall door instead of the Baldwin 6403 Cody entry handleset. What should I order?
The 6403 Cody is an Entry function set, and it is also built in full dummy configurations with an interior knob or with a left-hand or right-hand lever, which have no latch at all. If you want a working latch without a key, a passage lock is the part: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in Passage/Closet function. Dummy trim and passage are not interchangeable - dummy is surface trim that does not retract anything, passage retracts a latchbolt.
8) The Baldwin 6403 Cody handleset is keyed. What can I use on the same door if I want keyless access instead?
The 6403 Cody's keyed configurations are single cylinder handlesets, so entry depends on a key. For keyless entry on a comparable lever opening, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with a passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination in the same door thickness range. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with a passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. For electronic rather than mechanical, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock and Emtek offers a Classic Keypad Leverset.
9) The Baldwin 6403 Cody is an entry function. What do I use instead for a storeroom, classroom, or privacy opening?
An Entry function like the 6403 Cody is not the right function for those openings. For storeroom, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For classroom, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Dexter C1000 Classroom is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever; the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security adds classroom security function. For privacy, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, non-keyed, and a fire rating.
10) Which of these lever locks look like substitutes for the Baldwin 6403 Cody handleset but are not?
Several parts sit near the 6403 Cody without replacing it. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, a cylinder accessory rather than a lockset. The Codelocks CL410 and CL415 tubular latchbolt in the CL400 Series is a latch component, not a complete set. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and CL3300 cylindrical lock series, meaning it is exit device trim rather than a standalone entry set. The Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in entry function, which sounds like a match on the word escutcheon but is exit device trim in the ED-500 Series. And the Corbin Russwin CL33903 fail safe lever is electrified at 12VAC/DC, which requires power at the opening the Cody does not.
11) I need a fire rated opening. Does the Baldwin 6403 Cody family have fire rated peers I should look at?
For openings where a fire rating drives the specification, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock carries a fire rating and spans 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever lock is fire rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock is also fire rated. On the residential side, the Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever ships with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike.
12) Does the Baldwin 6403 Cody handleset have a peer that uses a Schlage C keyway for keying into an existing system?
If the building is already keyed to a Schlage C system, several alternatives are built for it directly. The Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever, Grade 2, with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever uses the same 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock is supplied with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. Separately, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware if you are fitting Schlage cylinders into Yale chassis.
13) How far does the Baldwin 6403 Cody gripset stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3.4 inches off the face of the door. That is worth checking against a storm door, a screen door, or a sidelight return before ordering, because a gripset that deep will foul a storm door that closes tight to the slab. Interior grip length on the beavertail lever is 4.09 inches.
14) What finishes does the Baldwin 6403 Cody handleset come in?
Thirteen, and they split into two camps that matter for maintenance. The PVD finishes hold up outdoors without ongoing care: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD. Living and plated finishes cover 031 Non Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 050 Satin Brass Black, 056 Satin Nickel, 060 Satin Brass Brown, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. Non lacquered brass and the distressed bronze are meant to change with time, so do not spec those where a property manager needs every door to match years from now. Satin nickel here is nickel plated brass.
15) I need a keyed lever for a commercial corridor, not a residential handleset. What should I look at instead of the Baldwin 6403?
The 6403 Cody is a decorative full escutcheon gripset with an Entry function, built for residential and light commercial entrances. For a rated commercial opening, go to a cylindrical lever lock instead. The Dexter C1000 Entry/Office is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Falcon K101 is Grade 1, fire rated, and takes 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, though it is passage function.
16) Can I get a matching dummy for the inactive leaf without buying a second Baldwin 6403 lockset?
Yes, and it should be the 6403 dummy, not a generic one. Baldwin offers the Cody full dummy in the same thirteen finishes with either the interior knob or a handed lever, so the inactive leaf reads identical to the active one. If you only need interior dummy levers elsewhere in the building and looks do not have to match the entry, Emtek sells dummy pairs in the Arts and Crafts, Hammered and Cortina lever designs, and BEST offers the 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim in Grade 1.
17) Is the Baldwin 6403 Cody a single cylinder or double cylinder handleset?
Single cylinder. The 6403 Cody is keyed from the exterior only, with the interior knob or lever free to retract the latch for egress. There is no interior keyed cylinder option on this model, so if a code authority or an insurer is demanding a double cylinder on a glazed door, this is not the part.
18) Which decorative lever entry sets compare to the Baldwin 6403 Cody for a residential front door?
The 6403 Cody is an Entry function set offered with a 5024 oval knob or a 5452V beavertail lever, for doors 1 3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. In the same decorative entry territory, Deltana offers several Entry function levers: the 6201 Manchester, the 6411 Morant, and the 6431 Linstead all carry a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, matching the Cody's range exactly, and the Deltana 5851 Claremont is also an Entry function lever. The difference is form: the Cody uses a full escutcheon plate behind the trim, where the Deltana Claremont, Manchester, Morant, and Linstead are lever sets in their own series styling.
19) What is a simpler, lower-cost lever entry set than the Baldwin 6403 Cody handleset?
The 6403 Cody is a full escutcheon handleset with an Entry function and a 3.4 inch projection off the door face. If the opening does not need escutcheon trim, a plain keyed entry lever is a lighter-duty answer: the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 return-style keyed entry lockset. All three trade the handleset's escutcheon presentation for a compact rose-mounted lever.
20) Can I use a dummy lever pair in place of the Baldwin 6403 Cody dummy configuration?
The 6403 Cody dummy configurations are full dummy sets, offered with an interior knob or with a handed left or right lever, and they carry the same full escutcheon plate as the keyed versions. Emtek dummy pairs are the rose-mounted equivalent: the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair are all Dummy function sets. On the commercial side the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Note the split: the Emtek sets are pairs covering both faces, while the BEST 1DT and Accentra 455LN are single dummy trim for one face.
21) The Baldwin 6403 Cody dummy levers are handed left or right. Which alternatives are non-handed?
The Cody's dummy lever configurations come as a left-hand dummy or a right-hand dummy, so you specify handing when ordering. If you would rather stock one part for both swings, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock are both built with non-handed levers, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. Non-handed and reversible chassis let a property manager carry a single SKU across doors that swing both ways.
22) Which alternatives to the Baldwin 6403 Cody are rated heavy duty for high traffic openings?
For a door seeing heavy daily cycles, the heavy duty rated options are the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock, the Falcon T101 Grade 1 heavy-duty passage lever with pressure release technology, the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 single dummy trim, the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS Grade 2 asylum lock. Medium duty options include the Falcon B101 and B511CP6D Grade 2 cylindrical levers and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT Grade 2 dummy trim. A property manager standardizing a corridor generally picks the heavy duty chassis and varies only the function.
23) Is there an alternative to the Baldwin 6403 Cody that combines a lever with a deadbolt in one set?
The 6403 Cody's keyed configurations are single cylinder handlesets, where the key works the handleset itself. If you want a separate deadbolt bundled with the lever, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo, so the lever and deadbolt come keyed as a set for the same door.
24) I am buying handlesets for a whole building. How many part variations of the Baldwin 6403 Cody do I need to keep straight?
Six functions across thirteen finishes. The functions are: single cylinder handleset with interior knob, single cylinder with LH lever, single cylinder with RH lever, full dummy with interior knob, full dummy with LH lever, and full dummy with RH lever. Standardize on the knob interior and the handing problem disappears, leaving one keyed part and one dummy part per finish. Go with the lever and every door has to be surveyed for hand before you order.
25) I want the Baldwin 6403 Cody look but with a knob instead of a lever. What are the knob options across brands?
The 6403 Cody itself is built with either a 5024 oval knob or a 5452V beavertail lever on the interior, so the knob is a configuration of the same set rather than a different part. If you are comparing knob trim on other chassis, the Arrow HK11-BB is an entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow MK02-TA uses a Tudor knob in privacy function, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty asylum cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway.
26) What passage leversets are available in a satin brass or satin nickel finish to coordinate with a Baldwin 6403 Cody in the same building?
The 6403 Cody is finished in a range that includes 044 Satin Brass PVD, 050 Satin Brass Black, 056 Satin Nickel, 060 Satin Brass Brown, and 190 Satin Black. To coordinate secondary passage doors, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in a satin nickel finish. Finish names across manufacturers are not guaranteed to match exactly, so confirm the code against a sample before committing a full floor.
27) What are the square trim or contemporary alternatives to the Baldwin 6403 Cody's full escutcheon styling?
The Cody uses a full escutcheon plate with a 3.4 inch projection and a 4.09 inch lever grip length. For a contemporary look on secondary doors, Bravura offers the Tampa with square trim as a Grade 2 passage leverset, alongside the round trim Atlanta and Orlando, both Grade 2 passage leversets. On the commercial side the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever and the X75 is the Grade 1 flat lever equivalent, both for 1-3/4 inch doors.
