Baldwin BAL-5108.044.RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin Estate 5108 lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The Estate 5108 lever set covers doors from 1.375 inches up to 1.75 inches thick, so a standard 1-3/8 inch interior door and a 1-3/4 inch door are both in range. It works with the common 2-1/8 inch cross-bore prep and a 2-3/8 inch backset.
2) My existing door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset. Can I use the 5108 lever?
No. The Estate 5108 is built for a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the usual residential bore. If your door was drilled on a 2-3/4 inch backset (typical on commercial-prep doors), the latch will not reach the edge bore correctly and you need a set specified for 2-3/4 inches.
3) Does the Baldwin 5108 lever lock, or is it just a passage handle?
It's a passage set. The 5108 lever on round roses has no privacy button and no key cylinder, so it latches the door but does not secure it. Use it on hallways, closets and pantries; for a bathroom or bedroom you need a privacy function, and for an exterior door a keyed function.
4) Do I have to order the Baldwin 5108 lever handed, or is it reversible?
The lever and rose are reversible, so one part works on a left-hand or right-hand door. Where handing does come in is the ordering choice: you can buy a full Pair, a Pair (PINNED), or a Half Pair specified Left Hand or Right Hand. The half-pair options are for replacing or adding a single side.
5) Do I need to buy a latch or mounting screws separately with the Baldwin 5108 lever?
No. The 5108 passage set ships complete with what's needed to mount it on a prepped door, including the tubular mortise latch. As long as the door already has the 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 inch backset edge bore, nothing else is required.
6) Is the Baldwin Estate 5108 lever rated for commercial traffic?
No. The Estate Series 5108 is a residential-duty lever. For an office corridor, school or multi-family common area where levers see constant cycling, specify a commercial-grade leverset instead. The 5108 is the right choice inside a home or a high-end residential unit.
7) Can I match the Baldwin 5108 levers to the rest of the hardware in the house?
There are 14 finishes on the 5108 lever, covering brass (Polished, Non-Lacquered, Vintage, Satin, Satin Brass Black, Satin Brass Brown), nickel (Polished, Satin, Graphite), bronze (Oil Rubbed, Venetian 112/11P, Distressed Oil Rubbed), Satin Black and Polished Chrome. Note the unlacquered and distressed options are living finishes that change with handling, so if you want every door to look identical for years, stick with a lacquered or plated finish across the fleet.
8) I only need to replace one broken lever on a door, not both sides. Can I do that?
Yes, order the Half Pair in the handing that matches the side you're replacing, Left Hand or Right Hand, in the same finish as the surviving lever. That's the option to use for property-management repair work rather than buying a full pair.
9) Is the Imperial USA TH1100 lever a direct replacement for a Baldwin 5108 lever?
Treat them as different products rather than interchangeable trim. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series handle is sold as a left-hand lever, while the Baldwin Estate 5108 is a residential Estate Series lever with a round rose, a 4 inch grip length, and a 2-3/8 inch backset. If you are matching existing Baldwin Estate trim on adjacent doors, stay with the 5108 so the rose shape and finish line up; the TH1100 is the choice when you are outfitting a new opening and not matching Baldwin.
10) What is an alternative to the Baldwin 5108 lever if I only need a single left-hand lever rather than a pair?
The Baldwin Estate 5108 lever can be ordered as a half pair in left hand or right hand, as well as a full pair, so a single-side replacement is available within the 5108 itself. If you want a different lever for a single left-hand side, the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is offered as a dedicated left-hand handle. The 5108 lever rose is reversible, which means the same 5108 rose serves either hand.
11) What is the difference between the Pair and the Pair (PINNED) option on the Baldwin 5108?
Both give you levers for each side of the door. The PINNED version has the lever pinned to the spindle rather than left free, which is how Baldwin supplies a fixed, non-rotating side. Order the standard Pair for a normal passage opening where both levers turn.
12) Which Baldwin rose comes with the 5108 lever?
The 5108 lever is shown and supplied with the 5048 round rose. If you are standardizing an opening or adding a matching dummy or privacy set on nearby doors, that round rose profile is what you are matching to.
13) I need to match finishes across a whole floor of doors. Does the Baldwin 5108 or the Imperial USA TH1100 give me more finish choice?
The Baldwin Estate 5108 lever is stocked in 14 finishes, including 003 Polished Brass, 055 Polished Nickel, 056 Satin Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome, which makes it the easier lever to standardize on when several doors and fixtures have to read the same. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series is identified by series and hand rather than by a finish range, so specify it when the handle style is the driver rather than the finish match.
