Baldwin 5510003FSTR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size mortise does the Baldwin 5510 strike need in the jamb?
The plate measures 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inches, so that is the pocket the frame has to be routed for. Lip to center is 1-1/4 inches, which sets how far the lip projects past the plate toward the stop. If the strike currently in your jamb is a different footprint, you will be patching or re-routing the frame.
2) How do I know if the 1-1/4 inch lip to center on the Baldwin 5510 is right for my jamb?
Lip to center is measured from the centerline of the strike opening out to the outside edge of the lip. It has to clear the door stop and reach the face of the door, so measure from the center of your existing strike hole to the edge of the jamb where the door face sits. Get this wrong and the lip either fouls the stop or leaves the latch to drag on bare wood. The 5510 gives you 1-1/4 inches.
3) Is the Baldwin Estate 5510 strike suitable for a commercial building or apartment entry?
It is a residential product. For a multi-family or commercial opening, especially anything fire rated or on a hollow metal frame, specify a commercial grade strike instead. The 5510 belongs on Estate Series residential trim, in a house or a high-end unit interior.
4) What finishes does the Baldwin 5510 full lip strike come in?
Ten finishes, so you can match the rest of the door: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 060 Satin Brass Brown, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. Order the same finish code that is stamped on your existing Baldwin trim and it will match.
5) Will the 031 non-lacquered brass finish on the Baldwin 5510 strike stay bright?
No. 031 is unlacquered living brass, so it darkens and patinas with handling and time. Pick it only if the rest of the door hardware is also unlacquered and you want them to age together. If you want a bright brass that holds its color, order 003 Polished Brass PVD instead.
6) Can I order the Baldwin 5510 strike on its own to replace a damaged one?
Yes, it is sold as a separate part, not only in a lock set. That is the common use: the latch works fine but the strike is chewed up, painted, or in a finish that no longer matches after a hardware change. Match the finish code and the 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch footprint to what is in the jamb.
7) Why choose a brass strike plate over a stamped steel one?
Brass is what the 5510 is made from, and it lets the strike be finished to match Baldwin Estate trim in the same PVD and living finishes the knobs and levers use. A stamped steel strike gets you a functional catch but not a finish match on a decorative opening. On a residential entry where the hardware is visible, the match is the whole point.
