Baldwin 5068055IDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a half dummy knob and does the Baldwin Estate 5068 actually latch the door?
A half dummy is a single knob on one face of the door with no latch, no spindle through the door, and no locking function. The Estate 5068 with 5070 rose is a dummy-function knob, so it mounts to the door surface and is used as a pull only, typically on a closet door, a French door leaf that is held by a roller catch or a ball catch, or the inactive leaf of a pair. If you need the door to latch when it closes, you need a passage set instead.
2) Half dummy or full dummy for a pair of French doors?
Use half dummies when you only need a pull on the room side of each leaf. Use full dummies when both faces of the same leaf need a knob, for instance a pair of doors that get handled from both rooms. The Estate 5068 with 5070 rose is offered in Baldwin's Quick Ship program as a complete Passage, Privacy, Full Dummy, or Half Dummy set, so you can order the same knob and rose in whichever function each opening needs and keep the look consistent.
3) How far does the Baldwin 5068 knob stick out from the door, and how big is the knob?
Projection is 2.4 inches off the door face, and the knob itself is 2.4 inches in diameter. That matters on French doors and narrow passages where a deep knob can foul a casing, an adjacent door leaf, or a window blind stack. Measure your clearance before committing to a knob this size.
4) Is the Baldwin Estate 5068 a commercial rated lockset?
No. Baldwin classes the Estate 5068 knob and 5070 rose as residential hardware. For a commercial corridor, a school, or anywhere a graded cylindrical lock is specified on the drawings, use a commercial Grade 1 or Grade 2 bored lockset instead. The Estate line is for residential and light hospitality interiors where appearance drives the choice.
5) What is the exact Baldwin model number to order for this half dummy knob?
The model is 5068.IDM, the Estate Series 5068 knob paired with the 5070 rose. Add the finish code to specify the trim, for example 5068 in 112 for Venetian Bronze. If you are matching existing doors, the knob number (5068) and the rose number (5070) both have to match, not just the finish.
6) Is Baldwin's Satin Nickel finish on this knob durable enough for daily use?
The 056 Lifetime Satin Nickel is nickel plating over solid brass, applied as a PVD finish, which is why Baldwin treats it as a lifetime finish rather than a lacquer. Note that 031 Non-Lacquered Brass is the opposite intent: it is left unlacquered so it patinas with handling. Pick 031 only if you want the living finish look.
7) Does the half dummy come with the screws and hardware to mount it?
Yes, the set ships with what is needed to mount the knob and rose to the door. Because it is a dummy, there is no latch, no strike, and no cylinder in the box, so if the opening also needs to stay shut you will be supplying a ball catch or roller catch separately.
