Baldwin K009003PRIV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset do I need to measure before ordering a Baldwin K009 privacy knob?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore hole: the K009 is offered for a 2-3/8 or a 2-3/4 inch backset. Most residential interior doors are 2-3/8. One thing worth knowing on the order form, Baldwin's Quick Ship program only covers the 2-3/8 inch backset latch, so a 2-3/4 inch requirement is a standard-lead configuration.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand version of the Baldwin K009 knob?
No handing to specify. The K009 Hollywood Hills knobset is reversible, so the same part works on a left or right hand door. That is the normal state of affairs for a cylindrical bored lockset and it is why a property manager can stock one part number for a whole floor of bedroom and bath doors.
3) Is a privacy knob the right function for a bedroom and bathroom door, or do I need a keyed lock?
Privacy is the function for bed and bath. The K009 locks from the inside with a thumbturn and has no key cylinder at all, it is non-keyed, so nobody is cutting keys or carrying one to a bathroom. If you need a key on the outside of the same door style, privacy is the wrong pick. For keyed interior openings from the same knob family of products, the Cal-Royal BER00 is an entrance/office knob lock keyed to a Kwikset keyway. Hall and closet doors that need no locking at all take a passage knob instead.
4) Does the Baldwin K009 privacy knob come with a strike plate, or do I buy that separately?
The strike is in the box. PASS and PRIV functions ship with a full lip strike plus a pre-drilled door adaptor, so a knob going into an existing bored door does not need extra parts on the order. The adaptor is the piece that matters on a retrofit, it lets the rose sit correctly on a door already drilled for standard hardware.
5) Is the Baldwin K009 knob rated for a commercial building or an apartment turn?
Residential. The K009 Hollywood Hills is a Baldwin Estate Series residential knobset, so it belongs on apartments, condos, single family and light multi-family interiors. If the opening is a commercial corridor, a school, or anything with real traffic, go cylindrical Grade 1 or Grade 2 instead: the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is a Grade 2 privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob for the same thickness range.
6) Can the Baldwin K009 privacy knob replace an existing knob without redrilling the door?
If the existing door is bored for a standard cylindrical knob it takes the K009 directly. The two things to check are the edge bore, which needs to be 1 inch for the latch, and the backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch. A pre-drilled door adaptor is included for exactly this case. What will not carry over is a mortise lock or a tubular latch on a non-standard backset, those mean patching and redrilling.
7) Will the Baldwin K009 fit a 2 inch thick door?
No. The Hollywood Hills K009 is built for 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch doors only. On a 2 inch slab you need a lockset with the range stated for it, and among privacy knobs the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
8) What is the closest privacy knob to the Baldwin Estate K009 Hollywood Hills if a different brand is needed?
The Baldwin Estate K009 Hollywood Hills is a non-keyed cylindrical privacy knob with an R050 rose, offered with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is also a cylindrical privacy knob, rated Grade 2 and fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset for the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range. Both cover the bed and bath function; the K009 is an Estate Series knob carried in eleven finishes from polished brass PVD through satin black.
9) Which privacy knob should be specified for a bathroom door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Baldwin Estate K009 Hollywood Hills works with 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range and is also a bed and bath privacy function, so it suits an older or built-up door that falls outside the 1-3/4 inch limit.
10) What finishes does the Baldwin Estate K009 Hollywood Hills knob come in?
Eleven, and the spread matters if you are matching existing hardware in a house: 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. The PVD finishes hold up better to handling than lacquered ones, and 031 Non-Lacquered Brass is the one that will patina on purpose, so don't mix it with 003 on the same hallway unless you want that.
11) I want the Baldwin Estate look on bedroom doors but a matching no-lock knob on the closets. What do I order?
Order the K009 in privacy for the bed and bath doors and the same K009 Hollywood Hills knob in passage for hall and closet openings. Both PASS and PRIV ship the same way, full lip strike and pre-drilled door adaptor, and both take the 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so the prep is identical door to door. Specify the same finish code across the order and the rose and knob will match exactly, since the finish is what varies on the part number.
12) What is a decorative alternative to the Baldwin Hollywood Hills privacy knob for an interior bathroom door?
For a decorative privacy knob on a wider door, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch thicknesses, which is more range than the Hollywood Hills gives you. If the budget is the driver rather than the look, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob and the Cal-Royal BER20 are both Grade 3 privacy knobs for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. None of those are Baldwin Estate castings, so they won't match Baldwin hardware already on adjacent doors.
13) What matches the Baldwin K009 Hollywood Hills on a closet or hall door that does not need to lock?
The K009 Hollywood Hills is a privacy function knob, so it latches and locks from the inside. A hall or closet opening takes a passage knob instead: the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is Grade 2 over the same door range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage and closet cylindrical lock with a global knob. None of these carry a privacy turn, which is the whole point on a closet.
14) Can a dummy knob be substituted for the Baldwin K009 Hollywood Hills privacy knob?
No. The K009 Hollywood Hills is a working privacy latch with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and an edge bore. A dummy trim has no latch and no bore at all: the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K Series single dummy, and the Omnia 442/00 single dummy knob latchset are surface-mounted pulls for an inactive leaf. They match the look of a knob on a closet or a French door pair but will not hold the door shut or give privacy.
15) What is the keyed version to pair with the Baldwin K009 on the entry door of the same unit?
The K009 Hollywood Hills is non-keyed, so it covers bedrooms and baths only. For the entry of the same unit, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance and office knob with a Kwikset keyway, and the Dexter C2000 Series entry and office ball knob is Grade 2. The Cal-Royal keyway matters if the building is already keyed to Kwikset.
16) What privacy knob works if the backset in the door is already bored to 2-3/4 inches?
The Baldwin Estate K009 Hollywood Hills is ordered in a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into either bore. Among other privacy knobs, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy lockset both suit 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and carry Grade 2 and Grade 3 respectively, while the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack ships with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for a mixed set of openings.
17) Does the Baldwin K009 Hollywood Hills suit a high-traffic commercial corridor?
The K009 Hollywood Hills is a residential Estate Series knob. A corridor or heavy-use opening is better served by a heavy duty commercial knob such as the Schlage D10S Grade 1 passage lock with an orbit knob, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset with an interchangeable core and a fire rating for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Those are keyed or passage functions, not privacy, so a bath in a commercial building would still need a graded privacy knob.
18) How big is the Baldwin Hollywood Hills knob in the hand, and will it work for someone with a weak grip?
The Hollywood Hills knob is a 2-1/2 inch diameter handle, which is a full-size round knob rather than a small ball. Any knob still needs a twisting grip. If the door has to be operable without that, a lever is the answer, not a larger knob.
19) Is the Baldwin Hollywood Hills knob a traditional or a modern design?
Contemporary. The Hollywood Hills is Baldwin's contemporary-styled Estate knob, a clean 2-1/2 inch round on a round R050 rose, so it reads modern next to plain casing and flat-panel doors. Finish does a lot of the work here too, 190 Satin Black and 076 Graphite Nickel push it contemporary, while 033 Vintage Brass and 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze soften it toward transitional.
20) Which brass knob has a traditional shape if the Hollywood Hills profile is too contemporary?
The K009 Hollywood Hills is a contemporary knob design. For a traditional profile in solid brass, the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in the passage function with a 3 inch projection, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The Deltana keeps the privacy function the Hollywood Hills provides; the Omnia does not lock.
21) Is there a multi-pack knob option for outfitting several doors instead of ordering the Baldwin K009 one at a time?
The Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with an adjustable backset, which suits standardizing a run of interior doors in one order. It is a knobset rather than a privacy-specific lock, so bedrooms and baths that need the inside turn of the Baldwin Estate K009 Hollywood Hills privacy knob still have to be ordered as privacy function.
