Baldwin Estate 5000 Preconfigured 5000 2" Baltimore Knob with 5148 Rose Privacy Lock with 2-3/8" Backset and Full Lip Strike Lifetime

Yes. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose is built for a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 2-1/8 inch edge bore, which is the standard residential interior prep. It covers doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, so a typical 1-3/8 inch interior door or a 1-3/4 inch slab both work without shims or spacers.

No handing to specify. The Baltimore knob privacy set is reversible, so one part number works on a left or right hand door. That also means a property manager buying for a whole floor of bedrooms and baths can order a single item and sort the swings at the door.

Non-keyed. Privacy means it locks from the inside only, with an emergency release on the outside instead of a cylinder, which is the standard setup for bedrooms and bathrooms. If you need a key on the outside for an exterior or office door, this isn't the set, and a keyed knob such as the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob or the Kwikset 400P Polo entry knob is the function you want.

It is a residential lockset, and a knob at that, so it is not the right pick for a commercial opening where a graded cylindrical lock is specified. For that use look at the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob lock, the Schlage D Series D10S Grade 1 passage knob, or the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock. The Baltimore knob belongs on homes, condos, and residential-feel units where the solid forged brass and concealed fasteners are the point.

The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is a residential privacy knobset with a 2-3/8 inch backset. If you want a plainer privacy knob for the same bed and bath application, the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset is a Grade 3 privacy function knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim for the same door thickness range. Both are utility-grade knobs rather than solid forged brass decorative trim, so the look at the door changes even though the function does not.

The Baldwin 5000 Baltimore is a privacy function knob, so it locks and is wrong for a hall or closet. Matching passage options include the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 passage ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob for the same range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock with the Global knob. All three latch without a lock, which is what a closet door needs.

The Baldwin 5000 Baltimore is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Only the Deltana holds the privacy function; the other two are passage.

The Baldwin 5000 Baltimore is set at a 2-3/8 inch backset with a 2-1/8 inch edge bore. If your existing prep is 2-3/4 inches, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 knob lock is built with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob lock also uses a 2-3/4 inch backset. Alternatively, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth combo and the Sure-Loc Bergen 6-pack use adjustable backsets that cover either prep.

A full lip strike ships with the set. The extended lip is what you want on a wood jamb where the latch needs help riding over the frame edge. If your existing frame is cut for a round corner strike or a T-strike, the frame mortise will need reworking to take the full lip plate.

Three: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, and 190 Satin Black. The two PVD finishes are the ones to use where hands and cleaning products hit the knob daily, and if you are matching other Baldwin Estate trim on adjacent openings, order by those same finish codes to keep the suite consistent.

For volume bedroom and bath work, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 privacy knob and the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob both cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same range the Baltimore handles. The Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob is a step up in duty level on that same thickness range. What you give up against the Baldwin is the solid forged brass body and the concealed fastener rose.

The Baldwin 5000 Baltimore is sold as a preconfigured privacy set with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, so you order the privacy doors separately from the passage and entry doors. If you want fewer line items per unit, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob comes as a 6-pack with adjustable backset. Those trade the solid forged brass Baldwin trim for volume packaging.

The Baldwin 5000 Baltimore is non-keyed privacy, so it cannot serve a storeroom or classroom opening. For storeroom, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder and the Sargent 8XG04 is the heavy duty Grade 1 equivalent. For classroom, the Dexter C2000 Series classroom ball knob is Grade 2 keyed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the same thickness range the Baldwin covers.

For an opening where the door assembly carries a fire label, choose a knob the manufacturer rates for it. In this set the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock is fire rated with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset is fire rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Note both Falcon units are passage function rather than the privacy function the Baldwin 5000 Baltimore provides.

No, and this is a common mis-order. The Baldwin 5000 Baltimore has a working privacy latch. Dummy knobs are surface-mounted trim with no latch at all: the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence knobs ship as dummy pairs, the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg is a dummy pair, and the Omnia 458/0 is a single dummy knob latchset. Use those only on closet or French doors held by a ball catch, never where the door needs to latch or lock.

The Baldwin 5000 Baltimore is a solid forged brass knob with concealed fasteners in a transitional design. In the same decorative solid-brass vein, Deltana offers the 6112 St. Thomas knob in a privacy function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and Omnia builds the 434/PA traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass. The Deltana 6112 is the closest match on function since it is also a bed and bath privacy set.

No exposed screws on the face. The 5148 rose uses concealed fasteners, so the finished side shows clean brass. That matters on a 190 Satin Black or 003 Polished Brass install where a through-bolt head would read across the room.

The Baldwin 5000 Baltimore is reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and you do not hand the order. Several comparable knobsets are likewise non-handed by design, including the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy lockset, both non-keyed privacy knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. If you are mixing brands across a building, the practical difference is trim and grade rather than handing.
