Baldwin Estate Ball Tip Finials for Radius Corner Hinges - Set of 2

The Baldwin 1080 is a pair of ball tip finials for radius corner hinges, sold as a set of 2. They thread into the top and bottom of the hinge barrel, so one set dresses out one hinge. They are a decorative tip only, not the hinge itself, so you only need them if you want to change the look of the tips or replace ones that are damaged or wrong-finished.

No. The 1080 ball tips are made for Baldwin radius corner hinges, which have rounded hinge leaf corners. If your hinge leaves have square corners, this is not the matching part. Check the corner shape on the hinge in the door before ordering.

Baldwin finials are completely interchangeable across the line, so a ball tip threads into the same barrel a different tip style came out of. For a property manager running a whole floor of doors, that means you can standardize the tip style across openings by stocking one finial rather than swapping full hinges. Match the finish code as well as the style, since the tips come in 14 finishes.

Fourteen finishes, and picking the one that matches the hinge is the whole job here: 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, and 260 Polished Chrome. The number in front is Baldwin's finish code, and it is the same code stamped on the hinge you are matching, so order by code rather than by the color name.

One set per hinge. Each set contains 2 finials, one for the top of the barrel and one for the bottom, and the finials are sold in sets of 2 only. Four hinges means four sets, eight finials total.

Baldwin classifies the Estate Series 1080 finials as residential. They are a decorative threaded tip for the hinge barrel, so on a high traffic commercial opening the finial is not carrying load, but the Estate line is specified for residential use. For hotel, multi-family common area, or institutional work where a spec calls for commercial grade hinges, work from the hinge spec rather than the tip.

The finials thread into the hinge barrel, so they turn in and out by hand or with light tool grip. Nothing else is supplied or required, and the door and hinge stay in place. It is a change you can make on an installed hinge without pulling the pin or unhanging the door.

Yes, that is the point of the design. All Baldwin finials are interchangeable, which lets a distributor or a maintenance shop carry one tip style per finish instead of a separate tip for every hinge size. Your stocking variable becomes the finish code, not the hinge.
