Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim

Trim only. The Baltimore 6552 is the decorative escutcheon trim for a mortise application, and a full mortise opening needs several components beyond it, including the mortise lock body itself. If you are ordering for a door that has never been prepped for mortise, budget for custom door preparation as well as the trim. Buyers looking for a self-contained keyed entry set that drops into a bored door should look at a tubular handleset like the Schlage Residential F60 Addison instead.

No handing to specify. The Baltimore entry trim is reversible, so the same part works on a left hand or right hand door. That is useful for a property manager buying several at once, since you can stock one item and use it wherever the next door needs it.

C-keyway, which is Baldwin's own profile. Order it keyed alike if you want one key to run several openings, or keyed different if each door gets its own key. Keying alike only works within the same keyway, so a house already on a Schlage or Kwikset SmartKey cylinder will not share keys with this one unless those cylinders are changed out too.

Single cylinder means key on the outside and a thumbturn on the inside. That is the normal choice for a solid entry door. Double cylinder, which the Baltimore is also built in, takes a key on both sides and is what people specify when there is glass beside or in the door that someone could reach through. Double cylinder keeps a key required to exit, so check your local egress rules before choosing it.

It is a residential product, so it is the wrong pick for a code-driven commercial opening or anything needing a rated, graded lock. Use it on single family homes, condo unit doors, and high-end multi-family entries. For a job where a grade has to be met on the submittal, the Master Lock HDLB Series handleset is listed at Grade 2 and the Kwikset 687 Amador at Grade 3.

Not without re-prepping the door. Mortise is a different door condition entirely and needs a pocket cut into the edge of the slab for the lock body, not the round bores a tubular handleset uses. On a door already bored, a tubular set is the direct fit: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sure-Loc Alta is a tubular handleset with an adjustable backset if you are unsure what backset the existing bore was cut to.

No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function unit, meaning it is pull-only with no latching or keyed operation. The Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore is a single cylinder entry function trim that is keyed on a C-Keyway. The Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan are likewise dummy function. Use a dummy on an inactive leaf or a fixed panel, not on an opening that has to lock.

The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a comparable keyed entry handleset. It is a Grade 2 F Series unit with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so it covers thinner doors as well as the 1-3/4 inch thickness the Baldwin Baltimore trim is built for. The Baldwin unit is an entry function mortise trim with a 5015 knob and a C-Keyway cylinder, so the Schlage is the choice when a lever and a wider thickness range matter more than mortise trim.

The Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore entry mortise trim is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door. For a thicker door, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry unit rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, if a keypad entry is acceptable in place of a keyed cylinder.

The Baltimore escutcheon measures 3 x 10 inches. Check that against the stile you are mounting to and against the outline of whatever plate is on the door now, since a 10 inch plate will not cover the footprint of a larger existing Estates trim if you are swapping designs, and a narrow stile door may not take 3 inches of plate width cleanly.

Yes. Beyond the keyed entry version, the Baltimore is built as Full Dummy and Exterior Only, and the escutcheon itself comes cut for cylinder, cut for emergency release, cut for knob, cut for turn knob, and cut for privacy. That lets you build a passage, privacy, or dummy set off the same plate, so the inactive leaf of a pair matches the active one exactly.

Yes. The Baltimore ships with the 5015 knob, but any Baldwin knob or lever of your choice can be substituted on the trim. Worth knowing for anyone working to accessibility requirements, where a lever is generally required over a round knob.

The Baltimore 6552 is a keyed mechanical trim with no electronic function. If you want code or phone entry with a handleset, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente combines a handleset with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt on 1-3/4 inch doors.

You can, and the trim itself does not change: the plate is reversible so handing is not a variable, and thicker or thinner doors are handled by swapping spindle length and mounting hardware rather than a different part. Order the whole run keyed alike in the C-keyway and one key works every opening. Where a door is not prepped for mortise, though, that opening needs the mortise pocket cut before this trim goes on.

The Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore is mortise trim, so the opening needs a full mortise preparation and the additional components that specification calls for. A bored alternative is the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset with SmartKey, a Grade 3 exterior-only keyed entry unit for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered as KWI-687AMD-S with SmartKey and KWI-687AMD-SMC with the SC1 keyway. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview is the same Grade 3 keyed entry build in a different escutcheon design.

The Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with an adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Madison MA507 is a keyed entry handleset with the same adjustable backset feature. The Sure-Loc Alta AT507 is a tubular handleset with adjustable backset. An adjustable backset lets one unit fit either bore location, where the Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore is decorative mortise trim tied to a mortise strike and the door preparation that goes with it.

The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente is a Signature Series handleset with Halifax lever interior trim and a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey cylinder, RCAL latch and RCS strike, for 1-3/4 inch doors. It is a handleset with an electronic deadbolt, so it is ordered complete with its latch and strike. The Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore is a single cylinder mechanical entry mortise trim on a C-Keyway with a 5015 knob, sized 3 inch by 10 inch, and reversible for either hand.

Five: Polished Brass PVD (003), Vintage Brass (033), Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel (056), Oil Rubbed Bronze (102), and Satin Black (190). The two PVD finishes, 003 and 056, hold their color under weather better than a living finish, which matters on a west-facing or unsheltered entry. Vintage Brass and Oil Rubbed Bronze will change appearance with handling and exposure over time.

No, the two do different jobs. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, a Grade 2 JI Series unit for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, where the lever passes freely and the deadbolt does the locking. The Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore is a single cylinder entry function trim keyed on a C-Keyway with a 5015 knob. Match the function to the opening before ordering either.

Yes. The Deltana 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry function handlesets, each in its own series. The Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore Baltimore-design trim comes in 003 Polished Brass PVD, 033 Vintage Brass, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze and 190 Satin Black, so the Deltana units are where to look for a solid brass entry set in a different escutcheon style.

The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel is an entry function unit for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is a Premiere Essentials single cylinder unit covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore trim is specified at 1-3/4 inch, so those wider-range units handle the mixed thicknesses elsewhere in the building.

The Baldwin Estates 6552 Baltimore is keyed on a C-Keyway and can be ordered keyed alike or keyed different. For a key-free opening, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim is a Wi-Fi unit for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range with a touchscreen deadbolt.
