Baldwin 5258112RENT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Baldwin Estate 5258 Wave lever handed, and what happens if I order the wrong hand?
Handing matters on this one. The 5258 Wave lever is offered in a right hand configuration, so you need to determine your door's hand before ordering. Stand outside the door (the keyed side): if the hinges are on your right and the door swings away from you, that's a right hand door. Order the wrong hand and the lever will point up rather than down when installed.
2) Will the Baldwin 5258 lever fit my existing door prep, or do I need to redrill?
It installs in the 2.125 inch standard door preparation, which is the same bore most residential entry locks already use, and it works with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. If you're swapping out a standard bored knob or lever, the existing cross bore and latch bore should take it without new holes.
3) What does the keyed entry function on the Baldwin Estate 5258 actually do?
It's a single cylinder entry lock: key operates from the outside, and the inside lever has a thumbturn or button to lock it. The lever always retracts the latch from the inside for free egress. Use it on a front, side, or garage-to-house door. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy function instead, and for a hall or closet, passage.
4) Can I key the Baldwin 5258 to match the other locks in my house?
Yes, within the Baldwin C keyway. The 5258 uses Baldwin's C-Keyway cylinder and can be ordered keyed alike so several openings share one key, or keyed different if each door needs its own. Keyed alike only works across locks ordered together on the same key, so specify every lock in the group at the same time.
5) Is the Baldwin Estate 5258 rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
No. The Estate 5258 Wave lever is a residential lock, built for appearance and solid forged brass feel rather than commercial cycle testing. For a leased corridor, school, or office opening you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lock such as the Hager 2525 entry lever or the Corbin Russwin CL3300 series.
6) What is a comparable decorative keyed entry lever if the Baldwin Estate 5258 Wave lever style is not the look the client wants?
Deltana offers several decorative keyed entry levers in the same entry function. The Deltana 5851 Claremont and the Deltana 6201 Manchester are both entry function levers, and the Manchester lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5258 is a keyed entry cylindrical lever in a traditional design with the Wave lever, offered with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and a C-keyway cylinder. All are residential-style decorative levers rather than commercial cylindrical locksets, so the choice is largely lever styling and door thickness.
7) The Baldwin Estate 5258 uses a C-keyway - which comparable entry levers key to Schlage C so I can stay on one key system?
The Baldwin Estate 5258 is listed with a C-keyway cylinder. Among comparable keyed levers, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever in the AG series uses the same 6-pin Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock also uses a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder, though it is a knob rather than a lever.
8) Can the Baldwin Estate 5258 be used on a classroom or storeroom door, or do I need a different lock?
The Baldwin Estate 5258 is an entry function lever, which unlocks from the inside lever at all times, so it is not a classroom or storeroom lock. For storeroom, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. For classroom, the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching lever, and a classroom security version is offered in the same series.
9) What finishes does the Baldwin Estate 5258 Wave lever come in?
Two: 003 Polished Brass PVD and 112 Venetian Bronze. The PVD polished brass holds its shine and resists tarnish, which is the one to pick for an exterior door in weather; Venetian Bronze is the darker oil-rubbed look for traditional trim packages. Both are on the right hand Wave lever.
10) Do I need to buy a latch and strike separately for the Baldwin 5258?
No. The 5258 ships as a complete entry set with everything needed to install it on the door, latch and strike included. It also uses Baldwin's concealed mounting system, so no screws show on the face of the rose after install.
11) What is the difference between the Baldwin Estate Wave lever and a Deltana or Emtek entry lever?
All three are decorative residential brass lines. The Baldwin Estate 5258 is a keyed entry Wave lever on a classic round rose in forged brass with a concealed mounting system. Deltana's comparable entry levers include the 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead, both listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Emtek's Classic brass leversets cover the same decorative territory with options like the Cortina lever. The decision is usually lever shape and finish match to the rest of the house.
12) Which backset do I measure for on the Baldwin 5258, and how do I check?
Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the large bore hole. It'll be either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and the 5258 covers both. Interior and many residential exterior doors run 2-3/8; wider stiles and some builder doors run 2-3/4.
13) I need the same Baldwin 5258 look on an interior door that does not need a key - what do I order?
The Baldwin Estate 5258 is a keyed single cylinder entry lever, so it is not the right part for a hall or closet door. For non-keyed interior openings, passage levers include the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando with round trim and the Bravura Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage function, and the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. For a door with no latch at all, the Emtek Cortina and Emtek Arts and Crafts levers are sold as dummy pairs.
14) Is a Kwikset Breton or Delta lever a substitute for the Baldwin Estate 5258?
They cover different functions. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is the Grade 3 privacy version, while the Kwikset 200DL Delta is a passage lever with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. None of those are keyed. The Baldwin Estate 5258 is a keyed single cylinder entry lever in solid forged brass with a concealed mounting system, so a keyed lever is needed to match it.
15) What should I use instead of the Baldwin Estate 5258 if the residents want keyless entry on the same door?
Keyless lever options include the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, a Grade 2 unit, and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset. For mechanical pushbutton without power, the Lockey 2835 single combination and 2835DC double combination keyless lever locks fit doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set fits 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5258 is a key-operated single cylinder entry lever with a C-keyway.
16) I need a keyed entry lever plus a deadbolt on the same door - is there an alternative to ordering the Baldwin Estate 5258 separately?
The Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo, which covers both bores in one order. The Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset if only the lever is needed, and the Master Lock BC series RL01 is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lockset. The Baldwin Estate 5258 is a keyed entry lever supplied as a complete entry set that fits the standard 2-1/8 inch door prep.
17) For a high traffic multi-family corridor, what heavy duty lever should I specify rather than the Baldwin Estate 5258?
The Baldwin Estate 5258 is a residential keyed entry lever. For heavy traffic openings, Grade 1 cylindrical levers include the Falcon K101 passage, heavy duty and fire rated for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Falcon T101 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant fire rated passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Those listed are passage function, so a keyed Grade 1 lever from the same families would be needed where a key is required.
18) I need matching non-keyed levers for the interior doors. Does the Baldwin 5258 come in passage or privacy?
The 5258 itself is the keyed entry version only. To match interior openings in the same Wave style you'd order the passage and privacy versions from the Estate line rather than this one. If you're matching across a whole house, order the keyed entry doors and the interior functions in the same finish, 003 Polished Brass PVD or 112 Venetian Bronze.
