Baldwin 5025003PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset does the Baldwin 5025 privacy knob use, and does it work on a 2-3/4 inch bore?
Both. The 5025 is offered with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into new residential prep or an older opening bored at the deeper commercial backset. One thing to know: the Quick Ship program only covers the 2-3/8 inch backset latch, so a 2-3/4 inch backset is a made-to-order configuration.
2) Does a privacy knob like the Baldwin 5025 have a key, or just a thumbturn?
No key. The 5025 is a non-keyed privacy (bed and bath) function: it locks from the inside with a turn button and releases with an emergency tool from the outside. If you need a knob that keys, this is the wrong function and you want an entry or entrance/office knob instead.
3) Will the Baldwin 5025 hold up on apartment or office doors, or is it residential only?
It is a residential Estate Series knob, not a graded commercial lockset. For rental turns or tenant bedroom and bath doors in a house or condo it is fine, but for a commercial corridor or high-traffic institutional bath you want a graded cylindrical knob such as the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob or a Grade 1 heavy duty option like the Schlage D Series.
4) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Baldwin 5025 work?
No. The Estate 5025 covers 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch doors only. For a 2 inch slab, look at a knob rated to that thickness, such as the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, or on the commercial side the Corbin Russwin CK4310 which runs 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
5) Can the Baldwin 5025 replace an existing knob without drilling the door again?
In most cases yes on a standard bored door. The privacy set includes a pre-drilled door adaptor for exactly that, and it uses a 1 inch edge bore with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two common residential preps. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing hole to pick the backset before you order.
6) Is the Baldwin 5025 privacy knob the same as a passage knob?
No. The Baldwin Estate 5025 privacy set locks from the inside for bed and bath openings. A passage knob latches but does not lock - examples include the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Pamex FTF Baron in passage function, and the Schlage D10S Grade 1 heavy-duty passage latch with the Orbit knob. Ordering a passage set for a bathroom leaves the door with no privacy bolt.
7) What is a lower-cost privacy knob alternative to the Baldwin Estate 5025?
The Baldwin Estate 5025 is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath knob in the Estate Series, catalogued as residential. If the budget does not support the Estate finish range, the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function is Grade 3 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob lock is also Grade 3 for the same door thickness range with brass trim. Both are plain bed/bath knobs without the Estate Series decorative rose program.
8) I need a privacy knob for a commercial corridor bathroom - is the Baldwin 5025 the right pick?
The Baldwin Estate 5025 privacy knob is designated residential, so for commercial traffic the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, non-keyed, non-clutching, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. If the specification calls out an ANSI grade for a bed/bath opening, the graded peers carry that rating where the 5025 is sold as a residential Estate Series set.
9) What should I use instead of the Baldwin 5025 if the door needs to lock with a key?
The Baldwin Estate 5025 with 5048 rose is non-keyed, privacy function only, so it will not serve a keyed opening. For a keyed knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder and a Global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch; the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder; and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
10) What looks like a substitute for the Baldwin 5025 but will not work on a hinged bathroom door?
Dummy knobs share the appearance but have no latch at all - they are surface-mounted trim for a fixed or closet panel. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy, and the Emtek Hammered Egg dummy pair all fall in that group. The Baldwin Estate 5025 privacy knob operates a latch and a privacy bolt, so none of the dummy trims will replace it on an operating bathroom door.
11) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5025 knob handed for a left or right swing door?
No handing to specify. The Estate 5025 is reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand doors and you set it at install.
12) What comes in the box with the Baldwin Estate 5025 privacy set?
The privacy set ships with a full lip strike and a pre-drilled door adaptor, which lets it go into an existing bored door without re-prepping the face. You still supply the latch backset choice when ordering.
13) What finishes does the Baldwin Estate 5025 knob come in?
Eleven finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 076 Lifetime PVD Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black and 260 Polished Chrome. The PVD and Lifetime finishes are the ones to pick if you want the look to stay put; 031 Non-Lacquered Brass is a living finish and will patina on purpose.
14) Is there a cheaper privacy knob than the Baldwin Estate 5025 for a rental property?
For rental turns where look matters less, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron is another Grade 3 privacy knob over the same thickness range. Deltana's 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is the closer match if you want solid decorative trim, and it covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. None of those carry the Estate Series finish range, which is where the Baldwin earns its place.
15) Which decorative knob is closest to the Baldwin Estate 5025 in privacy function?
The Baldwin Estate 5025 is a traditional-design privacy knob on a 5048 rose. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is also a privacy/bed/bath knob and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, making it the nearest decorative-brass privacy counterpart in the same handle style. The difference is series and rose design rather than function - both are non-keyed bed and bath sets.
16) The Baldwin 5025 fits 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch doors - what knob covers a thicker door?
The Baldwin Estate 5025 with 5048 rose works on 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker stock, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6171 round knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset with interchangeable core reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note those are passage and entry functions rather than privacy.
17) Does the Baldwin 5025 privacy knob carry a fire rating for a rated bathroom door?
For an opening where a fire-rated knob lock is required, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 medium-duty cylindrical knob lock is fire rated with a 2-3/4 inch backset in passage/closet latch function, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy-duty passage knobset is also fire rated. The Baldwin Estate 5025 is a residential Estate Series privacy knob and should be specified for interior bed and bath openings rather than rated assemblies.
18) I am standardizing knobs across an apartment building - how does the Baldwin 5025 compare to buying in multiples?
The Baldwin Estate 5025 privacy knob with 5048 rose is ordered by finish, with eleven Estate finishes from 003 Polished Brass PVD through 190 Satin Black, and is reversible so one part number serves both hands. For volume standardizing on a simpler knob, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with an adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
