Baldwin 5455V003PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Baldwin Estate 5455V privacy lever work?
No. The 5455V tops out at 1-3/4 inches, so a 2 inch door is outside it. For a privacy or passage function on a thicker door, the Hager 2510 passage lever and Hager 2540 both cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon K101 passage lock runs 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
2) What backset does the Baldwin 5455V Wave privacy lever use, and will it drop into a door already bored for a builder lockset?
The 5455V is offered in 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, the two backsets used on residential doors, so it drops into a door already bored for a typical builder set without moving the hole. Baldwin's Quick Ship program only runs the 2-3/8 inch backset latch, so a 2-3/4 inch opening is a standard-order configuration.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Baldwin 5455V Wave lever?
Neither. The 5455V is reversible, so one part number covers both hands and the lever is set to swing the correct way at install. Handing does not need to be specified on the order.
4) Does the Baldwin 5455V privacy lever take a key?
No key. It is a non-keyed privacy function, the bed and bath type: it locks from the inside and releases from the outside in an emergency, with no cylinder and no keyway to specify. If you need a keyed opening, privacy is the wrong function to order.
5) Is the Baldwin 5455V Wave lever suitable for a commercial building or a high-traffic apartment corridor?
It is a residential lockset, built for interior doors in homes rather than for commercial cycle counts, and no ANSI grade is carried on it. For a bed or bath opening in a commercial or multi-family setting, a graded privacy lock is the safer specification: the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a fire rating for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, though that one is a knob rather than a lever.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Baldwin Estate 5455V privacy lever from another brand?
The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is the nearest match in function and door range. Both are privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lever locks, and the Breton fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Baldwin 5455V wave lever covers. The Baldwin is an Estate Series residential lever with a 5048 rose, offered in eleven finishes including Polished Brass PVD, Vintage Brass and Satin Black; the Breton is a Grade 3 set. Both are non-keyed, so neither needs a cylinder or keying.
7) I need a privacy lock on a commercial bathroom door instead of a residential one - what should I use?
The Baldwin Estate 5455V wave lever is a residential privacy set. For a commercial washroom, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock that is fire rated and carries a Grade 1 rating, on doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is another cylindrical privacy option, Grade 2, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Note the MK02-TA uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so if the opening needs ADA lever operation the Hager is the lever-handled choice.
8) Which lever should I use if the bedroom or bath door needs a key rather than a thumbturn?
The Baldwin Estate 5455V is non-keyed, so it cannot accept a cylinder. For a keyed opening in a similar residential lever, the Kwikset 200DL Delta is a lever door lock, and the Master Lock BC Series return-style lever is a Grade 3 keyed entry lockset. For commercial entry work the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset - the same backset the 5455V supports.
9) What do I use if the door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Baldwin Estate 5455V wave lever works with 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and is fire rated, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch and is also fire rated, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those three are passage function rather than privacy, so they latch without locking.
10) What comes in the box with the Baldwin Estate 5455V privacy set, and do I need to buy a strike separately?
Everything for the install is in the box. The privacy set ships complete with the latch, a full lip strike, and a pre-drilled door adaptor, so no separate strike purchase is needed. The lever comes with the 5048 rose.
11) Can I match the Baldwin Estate Wave lever across the bedrooms, halls and closets in the same house?
Yes. The Wave lever is offered as a full Passage, Privacy, Full Dummy and Half Dummy set in the Estate line, so bedrooms and baths take the privacy version while halls and closets take passage and a fixed door takes a dummy, all with the same lever and rose. Order the same finish code across the openings and the trim matches.
12) What finishes does the Baldwin Estate 5455V Wave privacy lever come in?
Eleven finishes, so matching an existing scheme is usually possible: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 076 Lifetime PVD Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black and 260 Polished Chrome. Note that 031 non-lacquered brass and 102 oil rubbed bronze are living finishes that patina with handling, while the PVD codes hold their appearance.
13) I want the Baldwin Wave look on a bathroom door but a cheaper privacy lever elsewhere. What else is there?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever is a Grade 3 privacy set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Baldwin Wave covers, and is the plainer residential option for secondary openings. Keep the Estate 5455V where the trim is seen and the finish has to match the rest of the Estate hardware.
14) Is the Baldwin 5455V a mortise lock or a bored cylindrical one?
Cylindrical. It installs in the round 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the door face with a 1 inch bore in the edge for the latch, not in a routed mortise pocket. If the existing door has a rectangular pocket cut into the edge, this is not the replacement for it.
15) The door does not need to lock - what takes the place of a privacy wave lever on a hall or closet door?
Use a passage lever instead. The Baldwin Estate 5455V is a privacy set with a bed/bath lock; where the door only needs to latch, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range in a Grade 3 passage/hall/closet function. The Bravura Miramar with round trim and the Bravura Atlanta with round trim are Grade 2 passage leversets, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset. All are non-keyed, like the 5455V.
16) Is a dummy lever a substitute for a privacy wave lever?
No. A dummy lever is surface-mounted trim with no latch and no locking mechanism - the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair, the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair, the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim are all dummy function. The Baldwin Estate 5455V is a cylindrical privacy lock that bores into the door for the 2.125 inch standard preparation and includes a latch and full lip strike, so it both latches and secures the door. Dummy levers are used on the inactive leaf of a pair or on a ball-catch door, and are often bought alongside a privacy set to keep the wave lever look consistent.
17) I want keyless entry on the same door - what lever replaces a privacy set?
The Baldwin Estate 5455V is a mechanical privacy lever with no code entry. For keyless operation, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant with passage function and fits 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set with double combination fits 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2. These are entry-controlled rather than privacy, so occupants unlock by code rather than by an inside thumbturn.
18) What lock do I need for a patient room or utility door where staff must override the privacy lock?
A residential privacy set like the Baldwin Estate 5455V is not the right function for that opening. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock in the F87 asylum/institution/utility function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Those functions key both sides so staff retain control, where the 5455V is non-keyed and operates by inside turn only.
19) Can I put a Baldwin Wave lever on one side and a knob on the other?
The Estate line is built for that. Knobs and levers in the collection are sold as a pair or individually and mix with the roses, so a Wave lever inside and a knob outside is a valid combination within the Estate range. The 5455V privacy set as ordered is the Wave lever with the 5048 rose.
20) Which traditional-style lever is comparable to the Baldwin wave lever for a residential interior?
The Baldwin Estate 5455V wave lever is a traditional design residential lever on a 5048 rose, with a gently curved lever profile. Among comparable decorative leversets, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry and the Deltana 6431 Linstead lever entry both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Bravura Orlando with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset with a round rose like the 5048. The Bravura Tampa uses square trim instead of round, which changes the rose footprint on the door face.
