Baldwin 5068003IMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Estate 5068 come with a rose or escutcheon plate?
No. The Estate 5068 is the knob by itself, with no rose and no escutcheon. You order the rose or escutcheon separately, which is the point of buying it this way: Baldwin intends these knobs to be mixed and matched with roses for interior passage and privacy sets, or with handle set trim and escutcheon plates for mortise lock sets. If you need a complete ready-made set instead, the 5068 style is offered in Quick Ship as a full Passage, Privacy, Full Dummy or Half Dummy set.
2) What is the difference between Half Pair, Pair, and Pair (PINNED) on the Baldwin 5068 knob?
Three ordering choices. Half Pair is a single knob, which is what you want for a half dummy, for one side of a door, or to replace a damaged knob and keep the other side. Pair is two knobs for both sides of a door. Pair (PINNED) is a pair supplied pinned, the configuration used where the knob needs to be fixed to the spindle rather than free. Decide which side count you need before you pick the finish, since the 5068 is sold as a knob only and the rose or escutcheon comes separately.
3) Can I match the Baldwin Estate 5068 knob to Baldwin levers already on my other doors?
Yes, within the Estate Series. Baldwin builds these knobs and levers to be mixed and matched with each other and with roses, so you can run 5068 knobs on some openings and levers on others and keep one finish across the house. Match on the finish code, not the name: pick the same number you have, for example 112 Venetian Bronze or 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, since Baldwin lists 15 finishes on the 5068 and several bronzes and nickels look close but are not the same.
4) Is the Baldwin Estate 5068 knob suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is a residential product. Baldwin classes the Estate 5068 as residential door trim, so for a commercial corridor, a stairwell, or anywhere you need a graded and fire rated opening, look at commercial cylindrical or mortise lock trim instead. Where the 5068 fits well is single family homes, condo interiors, and high finish units where the look matters and the door is not on a life safety path.
5) I only need one knob for a dummy door. Can I buy a single Baldwin 5068?
Yes. Order the Half Pair, which is one knob rather than two. That is the right pick for a half dummy application or a single active side. You will still need the appropriate rose or escutcheon and, for a dummy, the dummy mounting trim, because the 5068 ships as the knob alone.
6) Can I use the Baldwin Estate 5068 knob on a mortise lock?
Yes. Baldwin lists these knobs for customizing mortise lock sets using handle set trim or escutcheon plates, as well as for interior passage and privacy sets built with roses. Since the knob ships with no trim, decide first whether the door gets a rose or a full escutcheon, then order that piece and the matching spindle hardware for your mortise case.
7) What finishes does the Baldwin 5068 knob come in, including unlacquered and living finishes?
Fifteen finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 050 Satin Brass Black, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 060 Satin Brass Brown, 076 Lifetime PVD Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 151 Antique Nickel, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome, and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. Note that 031 Non-Lacquered Brass is a living finish that will patina with handling, so it is not the choice if a client expects the knob to stay bright.
8) What does the Baldwin 5068 knob actually look like?
A traditional round knob with engraved halo detailing, which Baldwin describes as embellishment that does not weigh down the knob's delicate profile. It reads classic rather than contemporary, so it sits comfortably on panel doors and period interiors alongside other Estate Series trim.
