Baldwin 5452V003RMR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Estate 5452V lever come with a rose or escutcheon?
No. The 5452V Beavertail lever is the handle only, with no rose or escutcheon included. You order the rose or escutcheon plate separately and pair it with the lever to build a passage, privacy, dummy, or mortise trim set. Budget for that second part before you order, or you will have a lever with nothing to mount it to.
2) Can I buy just one Baldwin 5452V lever instead of a pair?
Yes. The 5452V is sold four ways: Pair, Pair (PINNED), Half Pair Left Hand, and Half Pair Right Hand. The half pair options are what you want when you are replacing a single damaged lever or building a dummy on one face of the door only.
3) How do I know whether to order the left hand or right hand Baldwin 5452V half pair?
The Beavertail lever is a curved, directional handle, so a half pair is handed. Stand outside the door (the side it swings away from): if the hinges are on the left it is a left hand door, hinges on the right is right hand. Order the half pair that matches. If you are doing both faces of the door, just order the Pair and skip the handing call.
4) For a high-traffic commercial opening, is the Baldwin Estate 5452V the right lever?
The Baldwin Estate 5452V lever is designated residential hardware in the Estate Series, and it is decorative lever trim supplied without a rose or escutcheon rather than a complete latching lockset. For a commercial opening that has to meet a facility standard, specify a lever and lock body rated for that use instead. Within the same decorative approach, an Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is an alternative lever design available in a left hand version.
5) What is the difference between the Pair and the Pair (PINNED) version of the Baldwin 5452V?
Both give you two Beavertail levers. The PINNED option is the pinned-spindle version, used where the lever needs to be fixed to the spindle rather than set screwed on loose. Match whichever your lock chassis or mortise trim calls for. If you are not sure, the standard Pair is the more common order.
6) Is the Baldwin Estate 5452V lever suitable for a commercial building?
It is a residential product in Baldwin's Estate Series. For apartment interiors, model units, executive offices, and hospitality guest rooms it is a reasonable fit, but for a high traffic commercial opening that needs an ANSI/BHMA graded lockset, specify a commercial lever lock instead of residential trim.
7) What material is the Baldwin 5452V Beavertail lever made from?
Solid brass. That is what gives the lever its weight in the hand and why the finishes include unlacquered and living options like 031 Non-Lacquered Brass and 033 Vintage Brass, which are meant to patina over time rather than stay uniform.
8) What finishes does the Baldwin 5452V lever come in, and which hold up best?
Fifteen: 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. The PVD and Lifetime finishes are the ones to specify when you want the color to stay put across a whole floor of doors. 031, 102, and 402 are living or distressed finishes that change with handling, which is the point of them in a rustic interior but not what you want if every door must match years from now.
9) Will the Baldwin 5452V work on a mortise lock, or only tubular interior sets?
Both. The 5452V can be paired with roses for interior passage and privacy sets, or run on a mortise lock using handle set trim or an escutcheon plate. The lever itself is trim, so what determines function is the lock chassis you put behind it.
10) What is the difference between the Baldwin Estate 5452V lever and the Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle?
The Baldwin Estate 5452V is a Beavertail-style lever from Baldwin's Estate Series, sold without a rose or escutcheon so it can be paired with separate rose or escutcheon trim, and it 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 referenced as a left hand part is supplied in a fixed left hand orientation from the TH1100 Series. If you need one specific hand only, both can supply a left hand lever; if you need matching trim on both faces of the door, the 5452V pair covers it in one order.
11) I need a lever in a specific decorative finish to match other hardware in the unit. Is the Baldwin 5452V or the Imperial USA TH1100 the better fit?
The Baldwin Estate 5452V lever is the one to look at when finish matching drives the decision. It is offered in 15 finishes including 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze, so a rustic or distressed look and a bright plated look both come from the same lever design. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is identified by series and hand rather than by a comparable finish range.
12) I only need to replace a single damaged lever on one side of the door. Do I have to buy a pair?
No. The Baldwin Estate 5452V is offered as a Half Pair in Left Hand or Right Hand as well as a full Pair, so a single lever can be ordered to match the hand of the side you are replacing. Baldwin also notes that knobs and levers sold as pairs or individually can be mixed to create a custom look. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series comparable is likewise a single left hand lever handle rather than a pair.
13) Can I mix the Baldwin 5452V lever with knobs on other doors in the same house?
Yes, and that is how the Estate Series is meant to be used. Baldwin knobs and levers in this line mix and match with roses and escutcheons, so you can run levers where you need easier operation (bathrooms, aging-in-place, doors people open with full hands) and knobs elsewhere, keeping one finish across the whole job.
14) What else is available if the Baldwin Estate 5452V is not the look I want?
For a different lever profile in a replacement half pair, the Imperial USA TH1100 Series Lever Handle is offered in a left hand half pair. It is a separate series from Baldwin's Estate line, so finishes and mounting will not match Baldwin trim on adjacent doors, but it covers the case where you need a single handed lever and the Beavertail styling does not suit the project.
