Baldwin 5023031PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin Estate 5023 privacy knob work on a door bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset?
Yes. The Estate 5023 privacy knob is offered in both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, which are the two standard bore-to-edge dimensions on residential doors. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch cross bore and pick the matching backset. Interior doors in most homes come in at 2-3/8; wider stile or heavier doors often use 2-3/4.
2) Does the Baldwin 5023 privacy knob lock with a key, or just a push button?
It is a privacy set, so it locks from inside the room only, for a bedroom or bathroom. No key and no keyway. If you need a keyed knob on that opening, that is an entrance or entry function instead, such as the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob or the Deltana 6171 Round Knob Entry. If you want a knob that never locks at all, on a hall or closet door, look at a passage function.
3) Is the Baldwin Estate 5023 knob rated for commercial or apartment corridor use?
It is a residential product. For a leased corridor, a school, or anywhere the door gets institutional traffic, go to a graded commercial cylindrical lock instead: the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage D Series D10S passage knob is Grade 1 heavy duty. Property managers standardizing unit bathroom doors inside apartments can use the 5023; back-of-house and common areas should not.
4) What is the closest equivalent to a Baldwin 5023 privacy knob if I need a knob with a published door thickness range?
The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas Knob is the nearest match on function: it is a privacy/bed/bath knob and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Baldwin Estate 5023 with R016 rose is also a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical knob, offered with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so the two land on the same interior bedroom and bathroom openings. The Deltana is a round knob in its own series rather than a Baldwin Estate profile, so the trim will not match adjacent Baldwin doors.
5) Can I use an Emtek or Omnia dummy knob in place of a Baldwin 5023 privacy knob?
No. The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg knobset, the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence knobsets, and the Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 are all dummy function, meaning the knob is fixed trim with no latch and no lock. The Baldwin Estate 5023 with R016 rose is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical knob that latches and locks the bathroom or bedroom door. Dummy knobs suit an inactive leaf of a pair or a closet door held shut by a catch.
6) The opening is a commercial corridor door that needs a Grade 1 knob. What should I specify instead of the Baldwin 5023?
The Baldwin Estate 5023 privacy knob is a residential cylindrical lock. For a Grade 1 opening, the Schlage D10S is a heavy duty Grade 1 passage latch with an Orbit knob, the Falcon X101 is a heavy duty Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and carries a fire rating, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Pick by whether the door needs to latch free, lock as a storeroom, or take a core.
7) Do I get both knobs with the Baldwin 5023, or do I have to order two?
Baldwin sells Estate knobs and levers both as a pair and as individuals, which is how you get a different knob inside than out. Order accordingly: if you want a matched pair on a bathroom door, confirm you are buying the pair, and if you are mixing trim you order each side separately. The 5023 with R016 rose is also offered through Baldwin Quick Ship as a complete passage, privacy, full dummy or half dummy set.
8) Can I mix the Baldwin 5023 knob with a different rose or with lever trim on the same job?
Yes, that is how the Estate line is built. Knobs and levers pair with a range of roses for interior passage and privacy sets, and the same trim logic carries over to mortise sets using handle set trim or escutcheon plates. So you can run 5023 knobs on the R016 round rose in the bedrooms and a lever on the same rose family elsewhere without breaking the look.
9) What finishes does the Baldwin Estate 5023 privacy knob come in?
Ten: 003 Polished Brass, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 044 Satin Brass, 055 Polished Nickel, 056 Satin Nickel, 076 Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze and 190 Satin Black. Two of those behave differently over time on purpose. 031 Non-Lacquered Brass has no clear coat, so it will darken and patina with handling, and 033 Vintage Brass ships with that aged look already. If you are matching existing hardware in a building, 003 Polished Brass stays bright.
10) I need a privacy knob that matches my other Baldwin doors but the budget is tight. What else is there?
Same function, different tiers. The Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, as does the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob with brass trim. Deltana's 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors if you have a thicker slab. None of those carry the Estate 5023's forged brass body or its ten-finish range, so if the trim has to match Baldwin elsewhere in the house, substituting will show.
11) How do I identify the exact Baldwin part when ordering the 5023 privacy knob?
Call it out as Baldwin Estate 5023.PRIV with the R016 rose, then the finish number, for example 5023.PRIV in 055 Polished Nickel. The 5023 is the knob design, PRIV is the privacy function, R016 is the round rose, and the three-digit suffix is the finish. Backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4) is specified separately.
12) The door is a hall or closet door that does not need to lock. What takes the place of a 5023 privacy knob there?
Use a passage knob instead, since a privacy knob carries a bed and bath locking function that a hall or closet door does not use. The Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob is Grade 3 for the same thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 passage/closet lock is a Grade 2 non-keyed knob, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
13) What do I use if the same door needs to be keyed rather than privacy locked?
Switch to an entrance function knob. The Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FTF Baron in entrance/office is Grade 3 for the same range, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is Grade 2 keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5023 with R016 rose is privacy/bed/bath, so it has no key cylinder.
14) I like the round solid brass knob look of the Baldwin 5023 but need something simpler. What else has that profile?
The Baldwin Estate 5023 is a solid forged brass knob in a round design. Among round brass knobs, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob is an entry function knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is entry function for the same range, and the Omnia 434/PA is a solid brass egg-shaped knob latchset in passage function. The Deltana entry knobs are keyed and the Omnia latchset is non-locking, so match the function to the door before matching the shape.
15) Is a Sargent 28C-KNOB or an Imperial ED-BKL580 an alternative to a Baldwin 5023 privacy knob?
No. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with a knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function from the ED-500 Series. Both are trim that mounts to an exit device rather than a standalone bored lock, so neither latches a bathroom door on its own. The Baldwin Estate 5023 with R016 rose is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical knob installed in a standard bored door prep at a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
16) I am doing a whole house and want the bedroom knob and the exterior knob to match. What pairs with a 5023 style approach?
The Baldwin Estate 5023 with R016 rose covers the bedroom and bath doors in privacy function, and the Estate line is built to mix knobs, levers and roses across passage, privacy, full dummy and half dummy sets so an interior run stays consistent. If you would rather buy the exterior and interior together in one kit, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, though it is a different knob profile than the Baldwin Estate trim.
17) What is the difference between the Baldwin 5023 privacy knob and a Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob?
Both are privacy/bed/bath knob locks. The Cal-Royal BER20 is Grade 3 with brass trim and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5023 is a residential solid forged brass knob with the R016 rose, ordered at a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and comes in ten finishes including polished brass, non-lacquered brass, polished nickel, oil rubbed bronze and satin black. The Cal-Royal is the choice when a stated ANSI grade drives the spec; the Baldwin when the finish range and Estate trim drive it.
18) What is the Graphite Nickel finish on the Baldwin Estate knobs actually like?
076 Graphite Nickel blends black and satin nickel into a dark grey with a subtle luster. It is a satin PVD finish, so the color is deposited rather than plated and it holds up to handling better than a lacquered finish. It reads darker than 056 Satin Nickel and softer than 190 Satin Black if you are trying to place it against the other options.
19) What is the Baldwin 5023 knob made of, and will it hold up on a door that gets used every day?
Solid forged brass, in a round knob shape. Forged brass is the heavier construction in residential knobs, well above tubular stamped or zinc trim, which is why it takes finishes like non-lacquered brass that are meant to wear in rather than wear out. For a private residence or an in-unit bathroom door it is more than enough; heavy institutional cycling is a job for a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial lock.
20) Is a Lockey 3830 keyless knob a substitute for a privacy knob on a bathroom door?
Not for a bathroom. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, so entry requires a code rather than a simple inside turn and an emergency release outside. The Baldwin Estate 5023 with R016 rose is privacy/bed/bath function, which is what a bedroom or bathroom door normally calls for. The Lockey suits a door where you want coded control without keys.
