Baldwin L021 Lever Passage w/ R017 Rose

Yes. The L021 lever with R017 rose is a tubular passage set built for the 2-1/8 inch standard cross bore, with a 1 inch edge bore for the latch. If your door is already prepped for a common residential bored lockset, it drops in with no new boring. Backset is 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so it covers both of the usual layouts.

No handing to specify. The L021 lever is reversible, so one part number covers both left and right hand doors and the lever is set on site. For a property manager buying several at once, that means no risk of the wrong hand showing up in the box.

It is a residential-duty set. For commercial traffic in a corridor, a school, or a healthcare facility, a Grade 1 cylindrical passage lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is the right class of product, and both of those carry a fire rating in our records. The Falcon K101 also covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, which is wider than the Baldwin's range.

No. The L021 is a passage set - the lever turns and retracts a latch, with no key and no lock. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch at all, used on inactive or closet doors that are held shut some other way. If a dummy is what the opening needs, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, the BEST 9K 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy-duty single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC 1DT is a Grade 2 medium-duty single dummy trim, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever.

The Baldwin L021 is a non-keyed passage lever in a residential build with a square rose. The nearest peer with the same square trim shape is the Bravura Tampa passage leverset, a Grade 2 passage lever with square trim. If a round rose is acceptable, the Bravura Atlanta, Bravura Orlando, and the Bravura Miramar are also Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim.

The L021 is built for residential service. For heavy-duty commercial passage openings, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, heavy duty, fire rated, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Falcon T101 is also a Grade 1 heavy-duty passage lever, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal-resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Design Hardware X75 is another Grade 1 passage lever, for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin L021 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thinner doors, the Lockey 1150 and Lockey 1150S mechanical keypad lever sets cover 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835 and 2835DC keyless lever locks with passage function cover 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch. Those are pushbutton keyless units rather than a plain non-keyed passage set.

The L021 has no privacy or locking feature, so it will not secure a bath or bedroom. For privacy function, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the L021 handles. Hager 2540 uses the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy set with a Tudor knob rather than a lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.

For an opening where the passage set must carry a fire rating, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lever listed as fire rated with a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal-resistant passage lever, also fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever uses a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch with a round corner strike.

The Baldwin L021 is non-keyed, so it accepts no cylinder. For a keyed lever on the same kind of bored prep, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the backset the L021 uses, and it fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever. For storeroom function, Cal-Royal AG05 is Grade 2 with a deadlocking latchbolt.

The Baldwin L021 fits doors up to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker doors with the same passage function, the Hager 2510 Withnell passage lever is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever passage lock is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

The L021 is a residential set, which makes fleet standardization across an institutional building a different specification. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage lever in the 5300 Series and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series, so a facility can hold one trim design across two series. Design Hardware offers the J75 passage lever at Grade 2 and the X75 at Grade 1, both flat lever, both for 1-3/4 inch doors, which lets a single trim run at two duty levels. Falcon covers the same split with the B101 Grade 2 medium-duty passage lever and the K101 Grade 1 heavy-duty passage lever, both non-handed.

Projection is 2.8 inches, with a 4.5 inch lever grip. Worth checking where a door swings back against a wall, a cabinet run, or another door in a tight hall, because the lever is what hits first.

No. The passage set ships with everything needed to mount it on the door, so the latch, strike, and screws are in the box. Order the lever, pick the finish, and that is the whole line item.

For turn-and-burn rental work where the finish does not have to match a designer package, a Grade 3 residential passage lever like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same range as the L021. Stepping up a class, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Arrow GL01 are Grade 2 passage levers; note the Arrow GL01 is specified for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, so it will not suit a 1-3/8 inch interior door.

The L021 is a working passage latch, so it is the wrong part for a false or inactive leaf. Dummy trim mounts to the door face with no latch at all. In that role, the BEST 9K Series 1DT and the 7KC Series single dummy trim, the Accentra 455LN Augusta, and the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair are all dummy-function levers.

For residential hall and closet openings, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the same range the Baldwin L021 fits. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike - the L021 is reversible as well.

The L021 is a plain non-keyed passage set - the lever always retracts the latch and there is no code entry. If the opening needs code control, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination on the same door range, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy-duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock at Grade 2.

The R017 rose on the L021 is square, which reads contemporary and lines up with square-edged trim, flat casing, and rectangular hinges. If the rest of the house is round rose hardware, a square rose next to it looks like a repair rather than a match. Round-trim passage leversets are the alternative, for example the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando; the Bravura Tampa is the square-trim passage lever in that line.
