Baldwin Estate 5513 2-3/8" Lever Pasage Latch

Yes. The 5513 is the 2-3/8 inch backset version of Baldwin's Estate passage latch, so it drops into the shorter of the two standard residential backsets (2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch). Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: if that is 2-3/8 inches, this is the right latch. If it measures 2-3/4, you need the longer backset version instead.

It's the latch only, the internal mechanism plus faceplate and strike that go inside the door edge and jamb. The lever handles, roses and spindle are ordered separately. Buy this when you're replacing a failed or wrong-backset latch behind Estate levers you're keeping, not when you need the whole trim.

Passage only. There is no locking function, no keyway and no thumbturn provision, so the lever always retracts the latch from both sides. That is what you want on a hall, closet or pantry door. For a bedroom or bath you need a privacy latch, and for an entry door a keyed latch.

A T strike measuring 1-7/8 by 2-3/4 inches ships with the latch. If the jamb is already mortised for a standard full-lip strike of that footprint, it drops straight in. Coming off a smaller round or plain-lip strike, expect to enlarge the mortise and reposition the screw holes.

The latch faceplate is 1 inch by 2-1/4 inches, so the edge of the door has to be mortised to that size for the plate to sit flush. Most existing residential lever prep is already cut for a faceplate of these proportions, but if you're coming off a drive-in latch with no plate, you'll be chiseling a new mortise.

Ten finishes: 003 Lifetime Polished Brass, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 050 Satin Brass Black, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome and 264 Satin Chrome. The only visible parts are the faceplate on the door edge and the strike on the jamb, so match the code to your Estate levers and the two exposed plates read as part of the set.

No handing to specify. It's a passage latch, so the bevel of the latchbolt is what determines which way the door swings, and it reverses on installation the way residential latches do. Order by backset and finish, not by left or right hand.

Baldwin lists the Estate 5513 as a residential product. It suits single-family homes, condos and unit interiors. For corridor and other high-traffic commercial openings, spec a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial cylindrical passage set rather than an Estate residential latch.

That's exactly the use. One passage latch, one backset (2-3/8 inch), one finish code across every hall, closet and pantry door means one part to stock and one look on every door edge. Just confirm each door is bored at 2-3/8 rather than 2-3/4 before you buy in quantity, since older houses often mix the two.
