Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose

Yes. The Estate 5103 passage set uses a 2-3/8 inch backset and drops into the 2-1/8 inch standard door preparation, which is the common bore on residential interior doors. If your existing door is bored at 2-3/4 inch backset (the other usual commercial backset), this set is not the right one.

Reversible, so one set covers either hand. You do not order a left or right version, and if you swap the door swing later the same lever works.

Not this one. The 5103 with the 5048 rose is passage only. Baldwin builds the Estate roses across functions, so stay in the Estate 5103 lever family and order the privacy version for the bedroom or bath, and the passage version, model 5103.PASS, for the halls and closets. Keeping the same lever and rose across both gives you a matching set on every door.

If the existing knob is a cylindrical passage set on a 2-1/8 inch bore at 2-3/8 inch backset, the 5103 goes into the same hole with no new boring. Check the backset before you order, because the two standard backsets are 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch and the 5103 is the 2-3/8. Also allow for the lever swing: at 2 inches of projection a lever reaches further than the knob it replaces, which shows up on doors that open against a wall or a return.

No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is a passage cylindrical lockset with a working latch, so the lever retracts a bolt and the door stays shut until it is turned. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch: the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy pairs, the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim all mount to the face of the door only. Use a dummy on an inactive leaf or a door held by a ball catch, and the 5103 where the door has to latch.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever is a residential cylindrical passage lockset with a 2-3/8 inch backset. For an opening that calls for a commercial certification, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, covering doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is another Grade 1 passage/closet lever, vandal resistant and fire rated, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Both hold the same passage function as the 5103, so the latch behavior at the door is unchanged.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 is a passage/hall/closet cylindrical leverset. Grade 2 levers with the same passage function include the Hager 2510 with Withnell design for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Arrow GL01 with a Sierra lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B101 medium duty non-handed passage lever, and the Design Hardware J75 flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. All latch without a key and turn freely from both sides, the same way the 5103 does.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 is a passage lever, so it has no locking mechanism at all and is meant for halls and closets. For a bed or bath door that has to lock from inside, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors and carries a fire rating, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Hager also lists the 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 is a passage lever with no cylinder. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, matching the 5103 backset. Heavier keyed options include the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 entry/office clutching lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial entry lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

Projection is 2 inches off the door face. That matters where the door swings back against a wall, into a narrow closet return, or beside a cabinet or appliance, since the lever is what makes contact first.

Everything needed to mount the set on the door comes in the box, latch and strike included. Baldwin publishes an installation guide for the interior latch, so a carpenter has the prep dimensions in hand. What is not included is a strike or hinge upgrade for a door that is out of square, and nothing here addresses a bore that was cut at the wrong backset.

If the Estate look is not the driver, several builder-grade passage leversets cover the same interior opening. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset, and Bravura offers passage leversets in Atlanta, Orlando, and Miramar round trim at Grade 2. The trade-off is finish depth and casting weight, which is what the Estate line is for.

No, use a dummy trim instead. The 5103 passage set carries a working latch and a bore behind it; on a door held by a ball catch or roller catch you only want a surface-mounted lever. Dummy options include the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair, the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair, and, for commercial work, the BEST 9K single dummy trim. Buying the passage set for a non-latching door means cutting a bore you do not need.

A keypad lever changes how the door is controlled rather than substituting one for one. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is a mechanical passage lever with a 2-3/8 inch backset and no code entry. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches thick, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination passage function for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. These hold codes; the 5103 simply latches.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 is a residential passage leverset. Where corridor traffic and a facility standard drive the choice, the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever in the 5300 Series. The Accentra 4601LN carries the same Augusta trim design in the 4600 Series at Grade 2, which lets a facility keep one lever appearance across mixed openings.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 comes in traditional brass tones including polished brass, non-lacquered brass, vintage brass and satin brass, alongside polished nickel, satin nickel, graphite nickel, oil rubbed bronze, venetian bronze, satin black and polished chrome. For a similar warm finish in a passage leverset, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is offered in US4 satin brass at Grade 2. Deltana's Manchester and Morant levers are entry function rather than passage, so they lock and are not a like for like swap.
