Baldwin Estate 5000 2" Baltimore Knob Less Rose

The Baltimore knob ships as knob only. The rose and the lock mechanism are sold separately, so a complete opening needs three orders: the knob, the rose you want, and the tubular or mortise lock body. Plan for that before you schedule the install.

Either. The Baltimore knob is built to work with tubular or mortise operation, so you can spec it on a mortise lock body or on a standard tubular latch set. The rose is what pairs it to the chassis you choose, and that is a separate order.

Order Pair when you want a knob on both faces of the door, which is the normal passage, privacy, or keyed-entry setup. Order Single for a one-sided application, such as a dummy knob on an inactive leaf or a closet door, or when you are just replacing one damaged knob and need to match the other side. Both options are offered in every finish the Baltimore knob comes in.

Nine finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 050 Satin Brass Black, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome, and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. Each is offered as a single or a pair. Two of these are living finishes: 031 Non-Lacquered Brass will patina with handling, and 402 is an intentionally distressed bronze, so neither will hold a uniform look next to a PVD finish over time.

Baldwin classifies the Estate 5000 Baltimore knob as residential. It suits single-family homes, high-end condos, and executive or common-area doors where appearance drives the choice. For a commercial opening carrying code or grade requirements, this is not the trim to spec.

Yes, and that is exactly what this part is for. Because the Baltimore knob is sold less rose and as a single, you can replace one worn or damaged knob and keep the existing rose and lock in the door. Match the finish code to what is already installed, and note that non-lacquered brass on an older door will have patinated away from a new one.

Solid forged brass, finished and polished by hand. Forged brass is solid through the section rather than plated over a zinc casting, so edges and the knob profile stay crisp with handling. The PVD finishes (003 Polished Brass and 055 Polished Nickel) are the most stable choices for a high-traffic door; the non-lacquered brass is meant to darken over time.

The Baltimore is a 2 inch knob in Baldwin's Estate 5000 model. That is a compact round knob, which matters on narrow stile doors and on doors where a larger knob would crowd an adjacent casing or a second door in a pair.
