Baldwin BAL-5104.003.RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Estate 5104 lever come with a rose or escutcheon?
No. The 5104 Estate lever ships as handle trim only, with no rose or escutcheon. You pick the rose or escutcheon plate separately, which is the point of the Estate program: levers and knobs mix and match with a range of roses for interior passage and privacy sets, or with handleset trim and escutcheons for mortise lock sets. Budget for that second line item or the lever will not mount.
2) What is the difference between ordering the 5104 lever as a pair versus a half pair?
Four choices on the 5104: Pair, Pair (PINNED), Half Pair Left Hand, and Half Pair Right Hand. Order a Pair when you need a lever on both faces of the door, as in a passage or privacy set. Order a half pair when you only need one side, for a half dummy, a single-sided application, or when you are replacing one damaged lever and keeping the mate. Half pairs are handed, so you must state left or right.
3) How do I tell if I need the left hand or right hand 5104 half pair lever?
Handing on the 5104 half pair follows the door: standing on the side you are installing the lever, if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand lever and the handle sweeps toward the hinge side. Hinges on your right, order right hand. Get it backwards and the lever points the wrong way. The full Pair option covers both sides, so handing only matters on the half pair orders.
4) Is the Baldwin Estate 5104 lever approved for commercial door use?
Baldwin lists the Estate 5104 lever as residential. For apartment corridors, offices, schools or any opening that has to meet commercial cycle and code requirements, this is the wrong family of trim. Use it on interior residential doors, or on high-end multi-family unit interiors where no commercial grade is being specified.
5) What finishes is the Baldwin 5104 Estate lever available in?
Fifteen finishes, which is why this lever gets specified on matching projects: 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. Match the finish number on the roses and hinges you already have rather than matching by name, since Baldwin names overlap.
6) What is the 5104 lever actually made of, and does the Polished Nickel finish hold up?
Baldwin builds Estate hardware in solid brass, and the 055 Polished Nickel is nickel-plated brass with a high gloss. The PVD finishes in the range (Polished Brass PVD, Satin Brass PVD, Polished Nickel PVD, Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, Lifetime PVD Graphite Nickel) are the ones to pick for heavily handled doors. 031 Non-Lacquered Brass is a living finish and will patina with use, which some buyers want and others do not.
7) Can I use the Baldwin 5104 lever on a mortise lock instead of a bored lockset?
Yes. Estate lever trim is made to go either way: pair it with a rose for interior bored passage and privacy sets, or run it on a mortise lock using handleset trim or an escutcheon plate. The lever itself is the same part in both cases, so what decides the order is the rose or escutcheon and the lock body you are dressing.
8) I have Baldwin Estate knobs on some doors already. Can I put 5104 levers on the rest and keep it consistent?
That is how the Estate program is meant to be used. Knobs and levers share the same rose and escutcheon families and the same finish numbers, so you can run 5104 levers on the doors that need lever operation (accessibility, kitchens, heavy-traffic rooms) and keep knobs elsewhere without the hardware looking mismatched. Order the levers in the same finish code as the knobs, and use the same rose.
9) What is the difference between the Baldwin Estate 5104 lever and the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle?
The Baldwin Estate 5104 is an Estate Series lever handle sold without a rose or escutcheon, so the rose or escutcheon plate is chosen separately and the lever can be ordered as a pair or as a single half pair in a left hand or right hand orientation. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is offered as a left hand handle within the TH1100 Series. If the goal is to mix and match a lever with a specific Baldwin rose or a mortise escutcheon, the 5104 is the one built for that; if a single left hand replacement lever in the TH1100 Series is what the door needs, that is the Imperial USA part.
10) I only need one lever for a single door leaf - should I buy the Baldwin 5104 or the Imperial USA TH1100 left hand lever?
Both cover a single-side need. The Baldwin Estate 5104 is sold as a half pair in either left hand or right hand, so handing is selected at the time of order, and it comes in finishes including 003 Polished Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 190 Satin Black and 260 Polished Chrome. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series handle is a left hand lever in that series. Confirm the door's handing before ordering either, since a left hand lever cannot serve a right hand opening.
11) Is the Baldwin Estate 5104 lever the right choice for a commercial corridor, or should I look at something else?
The Baldwin Estate 5104 lever is designated for residential use, and it ships as trim only, without a rose or escutcheon, intended for interior passage and privacy sets or for dressing a mortise lock. For a lever handle outside the Baldwin Estate line, the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is another trim option in a left hand configuration. For a corridor opening, verify the lock body and any grade or fire requirements against the specification for the door rather than selecting on lever style alone.
12) What does the Pair (PINNED) option on the 5104 lever mean?
PINNED refers to how the lever attaches to its spindle: the handle is pinned rather than left free, so the pair arrives set for a fixed orientation. If you are matching existing Baldwin Estate trim in a home, order the same Type as what came off the door. If you are unsure, the plain Pair is the standard interior passage and privacy configuration.
13) What else could I use if the Baldwin Estate lever is more than the job needs?
For a plainer lever handle without the decorative Estate styling, ZenSupply carries the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle, available in a left hand half pair. It is a lever handle of the same kind rather than a finish-matched decorative program, so it suits utility and back-of-house interior doors where nobody is matching a fifteen-finish palette.
