Baldwin Estate 5523 2-3/4" Lever Passage Latch

The latch faceplate measures 1 x 2-1/4 inches, so it drops into an edge mortise cut for that size faceplate. It ships as a T strike with a 1-7/8 x 2-3/4 inch strike, so the frame side needs a mortise matching those strike dimensions. If your jamb currently carries a full-lip ANSI strike or a smaller round-corner strike of a different size, plan on re-mortising the frame or filling and re-cutting.

Seven finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 033 Vintage Brass, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. Order the code that matches the Estate levers already on the door, because the faceplate and strike are the visible parts on the edge and jamb. The three PVD finishes (003, 055, 056) are the ones that hold their color; 102 and 033 are living finishes that change with handling.

A passage latch is non-handed by function. The lever retracts the bolt from either side with no locking mechanism to orient, so the same 5523 works on a left or right hand door. The only thing you flip is the latchbolt direction so the bevel faces the stop, which is standard practice on this style of latch.

It is a residential-duty part. The Estate 5523 is built as residential door hardware, so it suits single-family homes, condo interiors, and apartment unit interior doors. For a corridor, a leasing office, or anything on a commercial traffic count or a labeled opening, specify a commercial cylindrical or mortise lock instead.

Yes, as long as every door is bored at 2-3/4 inch backset and prepped for the 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate. The 5523 is the Estate series passage latch, so it standardizes across the hall and closet doors in a house. Doors that need to lock (baths, bedrooms, entry) take a different function latch, and any door bored at 2-3/8 needs the shorter backset version.
