Baldwin 5015055PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset does the Baldwin Estate 5015 privacy knob use, and will it fit my existing door prep?
The 5015 privacy knob works with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard bore-to-edge dimensions on residential doors. If your existing knob was drilled to either one, the prep carries over. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole before ordering so you specify the right latch.
2) Is the Baldwin 5015 knob handed, or does one part work on a left and right hand door?
Reversible, so one knob covers both left and right hand doors. You do not order a hand and you cannot get the wrong one for the swing.
3) Does the Baldwin Estate 5015 privacy knob key, or does it just lock from inside the bathroom?
Privacy function only, so it's a bed and bath lock: push button or turn on the room side, no cylinder and no key. If you need a keyed knob for an exterior or office door, look at an entrance function instead, such as the Corbin Russwin CK4851 Entrance/Office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder.
4) The Baldwin 5015 is a residential knob - what should I spec for a commercial bathroom or a school door instead?
The Baldwin Estate 5015 privacy knob is a residential product. Where an ANSI grade is on the drawing, the graded cylindrical knobs cover it: the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob lock, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with an interchangeable core and a fire rating, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. For Grade 2, the Sargent 6G04 storeroom/closet knob and the Schlage A Series A170 dummy trim sit in that band.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Baldwin Estate 5015 privacy knob from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5015 knob with 5048 rose is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical knob. Two other privacy-function knobs with round trim cover the same door: the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas Knob Privacy, which fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob, a Grade 2 non-clutching, non-keyed knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The 5015 is a solid forged brass Estate Series knob with concealed screws and a 28 degree Estate latch, offered in eleven finishes from polished brass to satin black; the Deltana and Dexter knobs are separate designs, not trim-compatible with the 5048 rose.
6) I need the same look as the Baldwin 5015 but on a hall or closet door that does not lock - what changes?
Privacy is the wrong function for a hall or closet door; a passage knob latches without any locking. Passage knobs in the same cylindrical format include the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 passage ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 Global knob passage/closet lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Schlage D10S Grade 1 heavy duty Orbit knob passage latch, and the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage lockset. The Baldwin 5015 knob itself is also offered as part of a complete passage set, so the Estate look can carry across both doors.
7) What looks like a substitute for the Baldwin 5015 privacy knob but will not work on a bathroom door?
Dummy knobs share the same round shape and rose but have no latch at all - they are surface mounted trim for a fixed or closet door. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset, the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg dummy pair are all dummy function and cannot secure a bath door. The Baldwin Estate 5015 is a privacy/bed/bath knob with a working latch and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
8) My door is thicker than standard - which knob should I use instead of the Baldwin 5015?
Several cylindrical knobs are built for a wider door thickness range. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet and CK4851 entrance/office knob locks both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Lockey 3830 keyless combination knob lock goes from 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch. Of these, the Deltana 6112 is the one that holds the same privacy/bed/bath function as the Baldwin Estate 5015.
9) What finishes does the Baldwin Estate 5015 knob come in?
Eleven finishes, and that's the full range: Polished Brass (003), Non-Lacquered Brass (031), Vintage Brass (033), Satin Brass (044), Polished Nickel (055), Satin Nickel (056), Graphite Nickel (076), Oil-Rubbed Bronze (102), Venetian Bronze (112/11P), Satin Black (190), and Polished Chrome (260). Non-Lacquered Brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its as-shipped look, so pick it deliberately if you are matching other doors in the house.
10) Can I mix the Baldwin 5015 knob with levers or a different rose on other doors in the same house?
Yes. Baldwin sells the Estate knobs and levers singly or as a pair, so you can run the 5015 knob with the 5048 rose on the bedroom and bath doors and put an Estate lever on the doors where you want one, in the same finish. The same trim also mixes onto passage, full dummy and half dummy sets, and onto mortise sets using handleset trim or escutcheon plates.
11) What kind of latch comes with the Baldwin 5015 privacy knob?
It ships with Baldwin's premium 28 degree Estate latch. The 28 degree bevel plus an anti-friction nylon insert on the latch face means the door closes quietly and the latch does not chew up the strike plate the way a bare steel latch does. The latches are also built with heavy-duty springs so they return properly under the weight of solid brass trim.
12) I need a solid brass privacy knob but not the Baldwin Estate line. What else is there?
The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is the closest peer: a privacy function knob covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so it reaches thicker doors than most residential sets. Deltana's Round Knob 6171 and Portland 6901 are the same family in entry function if you need a keyed door in the same look.
13) What do I order for a closet or hall door if I want it to match the Baldwin 5015 privacy knobs on the bedrooms?
Order the same 5015 knob and 5048 rose in a passage function for the doors that do not need to lock, and a full or half dummy for a closet door that only pulls shut. Baldwin builds this style as a complete passage, privacy, full dummy and half dummy set, so every door in the run can carry identical trim in the same finish.
14) Is there a lower-cost privacy knob that does the same job as the Baldwin 5015?
For a bed or bath door where the finish does not need to match a decorative brass program, the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function is a Grade 3 knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim for the same door thickness range. Both lock and release the same way a privacy knob does. The Baldwin Estate 5015 differs in construction and trim: solid forged brass, hand finished, with concealed screws and a nylon anti-friction latch insert, and it is offered in eleven finishes so it can be matched to other Estate hardware.
15) Can I use a keyed entry knob in place of a Baldwin 5015 privacy knob on a bedroom door?
A keyed entry knob locks with a key from outside rather than a thumbturn from inside, which is a different function from privacy. Keyed entry knobs include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo, a Grade 3 knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Master Lock BC Series Grade 3 biscuit knob keyed entry, the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway, and the Deltana 6171 Round Knob Entry for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5015 is a privacy/bed/bath knob with no cylinder, and it is reversible for either hand.
16) I am standardizing knobs across a building - is the Baldwin 5015 the right choice or should I look at a series?
The Baldwin Estate 5015 is a residential Estate Series knob available in privacy function and in eleven finishes, which suits matching decorative hardware unit to unit. Where one series needs to cover several functions on the same door schedule, the series-built lines do that: Dexter C2000 offers passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom in Grade 2 ball knob; Corbin Russwin runs CK4300 Series at Grade 1 and CK4400 Series at Grade 2; Pamex FTF Baron covers privacy, passage and entrance/office at Grade 3; and Sargent runs the 6 Line at Grade 2 and the 8X Line at Grade 1 for storeroom function.
17) Is a Kwikset Polo knob the same thing as a Baldwin Estate 5015?
They are different products. The Kwikset 200P Polo is a passage door knob for interior hall and closet doors, supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, and the 200P-CP version ships with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike. Passage means it does not lock. The Baldwin Estate 5015 with 5048 rose is a privacy/bed/bath knob, solid forged brass with concealed screws and a 28 degree Estate latch, with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
18) How well does the Baldwin Graphite Nickel finish hold up on a bathroom door?
Graphite Nickel (076) is a satin PVD finish, blending black and satin nickel into a dark grey. PVD is a plated hard-coat rather than a lacquer, so it resists the humidity and hand wear a bath door sees better than a clear-coated brass. Baldwin's Lifetime finishes generally are built to resist weather and normal wear.
19) Will the Baldwin 5015 rose cover the screw holes and wear marks left by my old knob?
The 5048 rose is a round trim with concealed screws, so nothing shows on the face. Whether it hides the old footprint depends on the diameter of what came off. If you are swapping from a large rectangular or oval trim plate, expect to touch up paint. A round-to-round swap on a standard 2-1/8 inch bore usually covers clean.
20) What is a good round knob alternative to the Baldwin 5015 in a builder-grade line?
For a round-trim knob in a value line, the Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim, and the Bravura Dallas is a Grade 2 passage knobset with rectangle trim in US4 satin brass. Callan offers the Edgewood and Roland at Grade 2 and the Canova and Santo at Grade 3, all entrance function. Note the function difference: the Baldwin Estate 5015 is a privacy/bed/bath knob, so a passage or entrance knob is not a like-for-like swap on a bath door.
