Baldwin 5103003RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever come with a rose or trim plate?
No. The Estate 5103 is lever trim only, and the rose is not included. You pick the rose separately, which is the point of the Estate program: mix and match the 5103 lever with Baldwin roses for interior passage and privacy sets, or with handleset trim and escutcheon plates for mortise lock sets. Budget for the rose (or escutcheon) plus the lock or latch mechanism when you order.
2) Do I need to order left hand or right hand for a Baldwin 5103 lever?
Handing only matters if you are buying a single lever. The 5103 is offered as a Half Pair Left Hand, a Half Pair Right Hand, a Pair, or a Pair (PINNED), and the lever is listed as reversible. Order a Pair for a standard interior door that gets a lever on both faces; order the matching half pair hand when you only need one side, such as a half dummy or replacing one damaged lever.
3) Will the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever work on a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Estate 5103 is built around the 2-1/8 inch standard door preparation with a 2-3/8 inch backset, so it drops onto a typical residential interior door bore without new prep. If your existing doors were bored on a 2-3/4 inch backset, the hole centers will not line up.
4) What else do I need besides the 5103 lever to lock a bathroom or bedroom door?
The lever alone will not lock anything. For a privacy opening you pair the 5103 levers with Baldwin roses and a privacy lock; the privacy sets include the parts needed to install the lock on the door. So the order is levers, roses in the matching finish, and the privacy lock body sized for the 2-1/8 inch bore and 2-3/8 inch backset.
5) How far does the Baldwin 5103 lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2 inches off the face of the door. Worth checking on a door that swings back against a wall or into a tight closet reveal, and on cased openings where two doors come close to meeting, since a 2 inch projection plus the rose thickness is what decides whether the lever hits something.
6) Is the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor doors?
The 5103 is a residential-rated Estate Series lever in solid forged brass, hand finished. For homes, condo interiors and hospitality-style guest room interiors it is the right class of product. For commercial corridor and stairwell openings where a graded, code-rated lever is specified, this is not the item to spec.
7) What finishes can I get the Baldwin 5103 lever in to match the rest of my hardware?
Fourteen finishes: Polished Brass (003), Non-Lacquered Brass (031), Vintage Brass (033), Satin Brass (044), Satin Brass and Black (050), Polished Nickel (055), Satin Nickel (056), Satin Brass and Brown (060), Graphite Nickel (076), Oil Rubbed Bronze (102), Venetian Bronze (112/11P), Satin Black (190), Polished Chrome (260), and Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze (402). Polished Nickel is nickel-plated brass with a high gloss. Order the roses in the same Baldwin finish code so the trim matches across the opening.
8) Can I use the 5103 lever on a door that only needs a dummy handle?
Yes. This lever style is offered in Baldwin's Quick Ship program as part of complete Passage, Privacy, Full Dummy or Half Dummy sets. For a half dummy, a single lever is all you need, so order the Half Pair in the hand that matches the face you are trimming. Full dummy takes two, so order the Pair.
9) What is the difference between the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever and the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 is a solid forged brass lever from the Estate Series, sold as a pair, a pinned pair, or as a single half pair in left hand or right hand, and it is supplied as lever trim only with the rose ordered separately. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is offered as a left hand unit within the TH1100 Series. If you are building a set piece by piece and matching roses or escutcheons across a run of doors, the 5103 is the one that gives you separate half pairs by hand; if you only need a single left hand lever from the TH1100 family, that is what the Imperial USA part covers.
10) I need a left hand lever only, not a pair. Which options cover that?
Two do. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is available as a Half Pair, Left Hand, in the same finish range as the full pair, so it matches an existing 5103 already on the door. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is also a left hand unit. The 5103 half pair is lever trim on its own with the rose ordered separately, which matters if you are replacing a broken lever and keeping the existing rose and lock.
11) Is the Baldwin Estate 5103 the right choice for a commercial opening?
The Estate 5103 is designated residential, with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a reversible hand, and it is decorative lever trim rather than a rated lockset. For a commercial corridor or a fire-rated opening you would specify a Grade-rated commercial lockset instead. The 5103 suits interior residential and hospitality-style doors where the finish match across passage, privacy and dummy functions is the driver.
12) What is the difference between the 5103 Pair and the Pair (PINNED)?
Both give you two levers for one door. The PINNED version is the pinned-lever variant of the same Estate 5103 trim, ordered when your lock application calls for the lever pinned to the spindle rather than the standard pair assembly. If you are building a straightforward interior passage or privacy set with roses, the standard Pair is what you want.
13) Is there another lever handle option if I don't need the Baldwin Estate look?
Yes. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is another lever trim option we carry, including a left hand half, if the decorative forged brass Estate styling is not what the job calls for. Specs we hold on the TH1100 are limited to the series, so confirm bore and backset against your doors before you swap it in for the 5103.
14) Will a Baldwin Estate 5103 lever drop straight onto my door as a complete set?
Not on its own. The 5103 is the lever handle only and the rose is ordered separately, so a complete passage or privacy set means pairing it with the rose and lock function you want. A buyer looking for a single-part lever purchase would be comparing against something like the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle rather than expecting a boxed set from the 5103.
