Baldwin Estate Preconfigured 5000 2" Baltimore Knob with 5048 Rose Half Dummy Lock

A half dummy is a surface-mounted knob only. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose is a dummy function, so there is no latch, no spindle through the door, and no moving mechanism. It screws to one face of the door and gives you something to pull on. Use it on a fixed panel of a double door, a pantry or closet door held shut by a roller or ball catch, or a false drawer front. If you need the door to actually latch, you need a passage or privacy knob set instead.

Yes. The 5000 Baltimore knob is specified for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers both the common older interior thickness and the standard 1-3/4 inch door.

Three: 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and 190 Satin Black. The 031 non-lacquered brass is a living finish, so it will patina with handling rather than hold its out-of-box color. If you are matching existing Baldwin Estate trim across a house, match the finish number, not just the description.

Solid forged brass, which is what separates the Baldwin Estate line from cast or plated residential trim. It also mounts with concealed fasteners, so no screw heads show on the rose once it is installed.

It is a residential-grade product in Baldwin's Estate Series, not a commercial specification item. For a commercial opening with traffic and code requirements, spec a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical set instead. The 5000 Baltimore half dummy suits homes, multi-family unit interiors, and hospitality decor applications where no latching is required.

No. With no latch or spindle in a dummy knob, there is nothing to hand. The same part works on a left or right door, and on the inactive leaf of a pair either side. You do need to decide which face of the door it goes on, since a half dummy covers one side only. For knobs on both faces, order two.
