Baldwin 5069055IDM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a half dummy knob actually do, and when would I use the Baldwin Estate 5069 instead of a passage knob?
A half dummy is trim only. The Baldwin Estate 5069 half dummy knob with 5076 rose has no latch and no moving spindle, so it mounts on one face of the door and gives you something to pull on. It is what you use on a fixed panel of a double door, a closet door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch, or a false door where the leaf never latches. If the door needs to latch, you want a passage function knob instead, not this.
2) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin Estate 5069 half dummy knob for a single-sided trim application?
The Baldwin Estate 5069 is a residential dummy knob with the 5076 rose. For a commercial specification with the same single-sided dummy function, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical single dummy trim in the A Series covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. Both are non-keyed dummy trim like the 5069, so they mount on the face of the door without a latch.
3) I need a working knob that latches, not a dummy - what should I order instead of the Baldwin 5069?
The Baldwin Estate 5069 is a dummy function knob, so it does not latch or turn a spindle. If the opening needs a latching closet or hall knob, the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock over the same door thickness range. For a privacy bed or bath door, the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is the Grade 2 non-keyed equivalent.
4) I need dummy knobs for both sides of a pair of French doors - is the Baldwin 5069 the right choice?
The Baldwin Estate 5069 is a half dummy, meaning one knob for one face of the door. For both faces you would order two, or choose a product supplied as a dummy pair: the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence dummy knobsets are each sold as a pair.
5) What finishes does the Baldwin Estate 5069 half dummy knob come in?
Two finishes: 055 Polished Nickel PVD and 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze. The PVD polished nickel is the harder-wearing of the two against handling; oil rubbed bronze is a living finish that changes with wear. If you are matching existing Baldwin Estate trim elsewhere in the house, match the Baldwin finish number, not just the description.
6) Does a half dummy knob need a 2-3/8 inch cross bore and edge bore drilled in the door?
The Estate 5069 is catalogued with a 1 inch edge bore and either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, matching standard Baldwin Estate cylindrical prep. In practice a half dummy has no latch to run into the edge bore, so if you are mounting on an undrilled door you only need the rose fixing. If you are converting an existing prepped opening, the same 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset centers line up with what the passage or privacy knob used.
7) Do I have to specify left or right hand for the Baldwin 5069 knob?
No handing to call out. The 5069 knob is reversible, so the same part serves a left or right hand door and you can mount it on either face.
8) Can I mix the Estate 5069 knob with other Baldwin roses or escutcheons to match my other doors?
Yes. Baldwin's Estate knobs and levers are made to be mixed and matched with roses for interior sets like passage and privacy, and they can also dress a mortise lock using handle set trim or escutcheon plates. The 5069 is shown here on the 5076 rose, and the engraved halo detail on the knob is what ties it visually to the rest of that design family.
9) I need a matching latching knob for the other doors in the same room. What do I order alongside the 5069 dummy?
Stay in the Baldwin Estate line and order the same 5069 knob in passage or privacy function on the 5076 rose so the look matches. Those functions ship with a full lip strike and a pre-drilled door adaptor, and Baldwin's Quick Ship program covers complete passage, privacy, full dummy and half dummy sets in this style, but Quick Ship builds only with the 2-3/8 inch backset latch. Order the same finish code across all of them.
10) Which knob locks look like a substitute for the Baldwin Estate 5069 but will not work as dummy trim?
The Baldwin Estate 5069 is non-keyed dummy trim, so anything with a cylinder or a latch is a different part even if the knob looks similar. The Kwikset 400P Polo and the Cal-Royal BER00 are keyed entrance knob locks, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob. These all require a bored door with a latch prep. If you want a Cal-Royal dummy instead, the BA40 Barrington series is a dummy knob cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
11) The Baldwin Estate 5069 fits 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch doors - what knob works on a thicker door?
The Baldwin Estate 5069 covers 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset handles 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inches, and the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry also covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inches. Note these are latching functions rather than dummy trim.
