Baldwin L023044PASS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Estate L023 lever lock, or is it always free to turn?
It never locks. Passage function means both levers retract the latch at all times, with no key and no privacy turn, which is what you want on a hall, closet, or a door that leads between rooms. For a bedroom or bathroom you need the privacy version of the same Estate lever, and for a keyed opening you need an entry or mortise set instead.
2) What comes in the box with a Baldwin Estate passage lever set, and do I need to buy a strike separately?
Everything for the install is included, latch, strike, and screws. Passage sets ship with a full lip strike and a pre-drilled door adaptor, so you do not need to source a strike plate on its own. If your frame is prepped for a T-strike or an ANSI strike, plan on reworking the jamb, because the full lip strike is what ships.
3) Which backset should I order for a Baldwin L023 passage lever, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore: 2-3/8 inches is the usual interior residential dimension and 2-3/4 the deeper one. Both are available on the L023. One thing to weigh on the order: Baldwin's Quick Ship program only covers the 2-3/8 inch backset latch, so a 2-3/4 inch backset is a made-to-order configuration.
4) Will a Baldwin Estate L023 work on a 2 inch thick door?
No. The L023 is built for 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch doors only. If your door runs thicker, look at a lock with a wider range: the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon K101 goes to 2-1/4 inches.
5) Which passage levers cover a 2 inch thick door if the Baldwin Estate lever does not?
The Baldwin Estate L023 works with 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock with the Sierra lever covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock reaching 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. All three are passage function, matching the free-both-sides operation of the Estate lever. Measure the leaf before ordering - the Arrow GL01 starts at 1-3/4 inch and will not suit a 1-3/8 inch door, while the Hager 2510 and Falcon K101 both start at 1-3/8 inch.
6) I need a passage lever for a high traffic corridor door that also has to be fire rated - what should I use instead of a residential Baldwin lever?
The Baldwin Estate L023 is a residential passage lever and is not the part for a rated corridor opening. Two Grade 1 passage levers cover that: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical passage/closet lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Note the door thickness difference between the two - the Falcon K101 covers a thinner door than the CL3110 does, which matters if the corridor doors in the building are 1-3/8 inch. All three are non-locking passage function, so the door behavior for occupants is identical; the K101 and CL3110 add the Grade 1 rating and fire listing the residential lever does not carry.
7) What is the closest commercial-grade equivalent to the Baldwin Estate L023 passage lever for a hall or closet door in a rental unit?
The Baldwin Estate L023 is a residential passage lever with no keyed or locking function, so a commercial substitute needs the same non-locking hall/closet behavior in a cylindrical lever. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/closet function from the 5300 Series. Both do the same job on the door - free operation from both sides, latch only. The difference is the Baldwin is an Estate Series residential decorative set in eight finishes, while the Falcon and Accentra are commercial ANSI-graded product. On an apartment interior door where the finish has to match the rest of the unit, the Baldwin holds the look; on a corridor or a back-of-house door where cycle life matters more than appearance, the graded lever is the one to spec.
8) The door needs to lock for a bathroom or bedroom - what do I order instead of a passage lever?
A passage lever like the Baldwin Estate L023 has no privacy or locking feature, so it is the wrong function for a bath or bedroom. For privacy function, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob that is fire rated. Baldwin's own PRIV function sets ship with a full lip strike and pre-drilled door adaptor the same way the passage sets do, so within the Estate line the privacy set is the direct swap; across brands, the Kwikset 300BRNL is the closest match to the same residential door.
9) Is a dummy lever the same thing as a passage lever?
No. The Baldwin Estate L023 passage lever has a working latch on a 2-1/8 inch standard door preparation and a 1 inch edge bore, and it retracts to hold the door closed. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch at all - it is surface mounted for a pull on a door held shut some other way. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty single dummy trim lever, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim version, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. If the door has a bored 2-1/8 inch hole and a latch pocket in the edge, a dummy will not fill it - order the passage lever. Dummies are for inactive leaves and closet fronts that hold with a roller or magnetic catch.
10) The opening needs a key - which lever should I order in place of a non-keyed passage set?
The Baldwin Estate L023 is non-keyed, so any opening that has to be secured needs a different function entirely. For entry or office use, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office cylindrical lever, and the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a storeroom door that stays locked outside with free egress, the Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever and the Cal-Royal AG05 are both Grade 2 storeroom levers. If keying has to fall into an existing system, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever are supplied in a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, with the AG00 on a 2-3/8 inch backset and the AG03 on 2-3/4 inch.
11) For a school or hospital door, is a residential passage lever acceptable or is there a graded alternative?
The Baldwin Estate L023 is a residential passage lever, and institutional openings are usually specified to an ANSI grade. For passage function at Grade 1, the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Design Hardware J75 is the Grade 2 version of the same flat-lever passage set on a 1-3/4 inch door. Where the room itself needs a controlled function rather than free passage, the Dexter C1000 classroom and classroom security levers are Grade 1 keyed levers for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 asylum lever is the Grade 1 institutional function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
12) Do I have to order the Baldwin L023 lever left or right handed?
No handing to specify. The L023 is reversible, so the same set works on a left or right hand door and you field-orient the lever when you hang it. That also means one part number covers every interior opening in the house.
13) What is a cheaper passage lever than the Baldwin Estate L023 that still fits the same door prep?
If you want a passage lever without the Estate price and trim, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the L023 covers. Bravura's Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa passage leversets are Grade 2 alternatives, Tampa with square trim if you want a squared look rather than the round R017 rose. All are cylindrical passage locks, so the door bore is the same.
14) I need a lever on a closet door that does not latch at all, just pulls. Is the L023 passage the right one?
Probably not. Passage means there is a working latch, which you want on a door that has to stay shut. On a closet or a French door held by ball catches or roller catches, you want a dummy trim instead, with no latch and no bore. The Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair or the Arts and Crafts dummy pair cover that in a residential look; BEST 7KC or 9K single dummy trim covers it on the commercial side.
15) What is a lower cost passage lever that still matches the Baldwin L023 for a residential interior door?
For a residential interior hall or closet door, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set is a Grade 3 passage/hall/closet lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Both perform the same non-locking passage function as the Baldwin Estate L023 and suit the same 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch door thicknesses the Baldwin covers. The Baldwin is an Estate Series decorative set offered in eight finishes including 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD and 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze; the Kwikset and Callan are single-look sets. Where a property is standardizing hundreds of closet doors on one plain finish, the Grade 3 sets fit; where the interior trim package is specified to a finish, the Estate lever is what carries it.
16) Is there a passage lever with a squared-off look instead of the contemporary Baldwin Estate design?
The Baldwin Estate L023 is a contemporary lever paired with the round R017 rose. For a square trim alternative in the same passage function, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. If the round rose is what suits the room, the Bravura Atlanta, Bravura Orlando and Bravura Miramar are all Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, the Miramar offered in US4 satin brass. Function is identical across all of them - non-locking hall and closet - so the choice is trim shape and lever profile rather than how the door behaves. The Baldwin is the one that carries a finish range including 076 Lifetime PVD Graphite Nickel, 190 Satin Black and 260 Polished Chrome when the rest of the interior hardware has to match.
17) Can a keypad lever be used where a passage lever is going in?
Only if the door actually needs access control, and the door thickness has to be checked. The Baldwin Estate L023 is a non-keyed passage lever for 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch doors on a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version over the same thickness range, and the Lockey 1150S is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with an adjustable backset covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Lockey units add code entry the Estate lever does not have; on an interior hall or closet door where nobody needs to be kept out, the passage lever is the simpler part and the keypad is unnecessary hardware on the door.
18) Does the handing of the door change which passage lever I can order?
Not for the Baldwin Estate L023 - it is reversible, so one part number covers a left hand or right hand door. Among the commercial passage alternatives, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers, so the same holds for both. Handing becomes a live question on keyed and function-specific levers rather than on passage, since a passage lever operates freely from both sides. For a property manager buying a batch across mixed openings, the reversible or non-handed sets mean one SKU covers every door instead of splitting the order by hand.
19) The existing Kwikset passage lever needs a rated latch - is the Baldwin Estate lever a direct replacement?
Not on that count. The Baldwin Estate L023 passage sets ship with a full lip strike and a pre-drilled door adaptor, on a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever ships with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and a round corner strike, and the standard Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever ships with the adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike and is reversible. If the opening was built around a round corner latch face and a rated latch, the 200DL-RCALFD is the part that matches what is in the door; the Baldwin lever brings its own full lip strike and suits a square corner prep.
20) What finishes does the Baldwin Estate L023 lever come in?
Eight: Satin Brass PVD (044), Polished Nickel PVD (055), Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel (056), Lifetime PVD Graphite Nickel (076), Oil Rubbed Bronze (102), Venetian Bronze (112), Satin Black (190), and Polished Chrome (260). The PVD finishes are the ones to pick if you are matching a whole floor of doors over time, since they hold color rather than living-finish aging like the oil rubbed bronze.
21) Can I mix the Baldwin L023 lever with knobs and other rose styles on the same set of doors?
Yes. Estate Series levers, knobs and roses are sold individually as well as in pairs, so you can run a lever on one side and a knob on the other, or keep the R017 round rose and change the handle by room. It is the reason people spec Estate for a whole house: the trim mixes, the prep does not change.
22) What is the difference between the Accentra 5301LN and the Accentra 4601LN if I am replacing a residential passage lever with a commercial one?
Both are Grade 2 cylindrical passage/hall/closet levers, so either replaces the non-locking function of the Baldwin Estate L023. They differ by series and trim: the Accentra 5301LN is in the 5300 Series with Augusta trim, and the Accentra 4601LN is in the 4600 Series, also with the Augusta trim design. For a facility standardizing across many doors, the series choice is what determines which keyed and locking functions sit alongside the passage lever in the same trim family, which is the reason to pick one series and stay in it rather than mixing.
