Baldwin BAL-MP005.003.ACT4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica multipoint trim fit a 1-3/4 inch entry door?
Yes. The MP005 Santa Monica handleset with L022 lever covers doors from 1.37 inches up to 1.75 inches thick, so a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door is at the top of its range. Anything thicker than 1.75 inches is out of range for this trim.
2) Do I need to order the Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica handleset in a left or right hand?
Neither. The MP005 Santa Monica with L022 lever is reversible, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door and you set the hand at install. That also makes it easier to stock one part for a run of doors swinging different ways.
3) What are the mounting hole centers on the Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica plate?
The Santa Monica MP005 trim uses a 3.6 inch by 7.8 inch center-to-center pattern. If you are replacing an existing multipoint trim, match that hole spacing against what is bored in the door before committing, because the plate has to land on the existing prep.
4) What locking function does the Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica come in?
One function: entry, keyed on the outside with a turnknob on the inside. Every finish of the MP005 Santa Monica with L022 lever is built that way, so there is no passage, dummy, or double-cylinder option to choose between when you order.
5) Is the Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica a complete lock or just the trim?
It is the handleset trim, the exterior plate with the L022 lever and the interior turnknob side, for a multipoint lock system. The multipoint lock body and the door prep are the other half of the job, so confirm the door is already prepped for a multipoint gear with a 3.6 by 7.8 inch trim pattern before you order.
6) Is the Imperial USA TH1100 lever handle a substitute for the Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica with L022 lever?
They are not interchangeable. The Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica with L022 lever is a multipoint entry trim set with a 3.6 inch by 7.8 inch center-to-center plate spacing, supplied keyed with a turnknob, and it is reversible so one set serves either hand. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is a left hand handle, so hand must be selected at the time of order and it does not carry the Baldwin multipoint center-to-center layout. If the door is already prepped for the MP005 plate spacing, stay with the Baldwin trim.
7) How far does the Baldwin L022 lever stick out from the door?
The L022 lever projects 2.8 inches off the face of the door. Worth checking against a storm door, a sidelight return, or a tight jamb reveal, since that is the clearance the lever needs to swing without knuckle interference.
8) Is the Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica rated for commercial openings?
It is a residential product. The MP005 Santa Monica multipoint trim is built for houses and residential entries, not for the cycle counts of a commercial or institutional opening. For an apartment or condo unit door in a multi-family building, treat it as a residential-grade dwelling entry, not a corridor or stair door.
9) What finishes does Baldwin offer on the MP005 Santa Monica handleset?
Fourteen. Polished Brass (003), Non-Lacquered Brass (031), Vintage Brass (033), Satin Brass (044), Satin Brass and Black (050), Polished Nickel (055), Satin Nickel (056), Satin Brass and Brown (060), Graphite Nickel (076), Oil Rubbed Bronze (102), Venetian Bronze (112/11P), Satin Black (190), Polished Chrome (260), and Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze (402). If you are matching other Baldwin hardware in the house, order by the number, not the name.
10) I need a lever for a single left hand door and do not want to deal with handing errors - what are my options?
Two different approaches. The Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica with L022 lever is reversible, so the same set covers a left or right hand door without ordering a handed part. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series lever handle is offered as a dedicated left hand unit, which means the hand is fixed when you order. For a property manager buying several openings of mixed swing, the reversible Baldwin set removes the handing decision from the purchase order.
11) My door is 1-3/4 inches thick and I want a keyed entry lever with a thumbturn - which one fits?
The Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica with L022 lever suits doors from 1.37 inches to 1.75 inches thick and is configured as an entry set keyed with a turnknob, with a 2.8 inch lever projection. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series is a lever handle without a stated keyed entry or turnknob configuration, so for a keyed opening with an interior thumbturn the Baldwin MP005 is the one to specify.
12) Why does the non-lacquered brass Baldwin finish change color after installation?
That is a living finish and it is meant to move. On the MP005 Santa Monica it starts out with a matte black appearance and, with time and handling, opens up to show bronze highlights underneath. Nothing is failing, and it should not be lacquered or polished back. If a client wants the color to stay exactly as delivered, pick a plated finish like Polished Chrome (260) or Satin Nickel (056) instead.
13) For a residential entry door remodel, how do the Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica and the Imperial USA TH1100 differ in what you get?
The Baldwin MP005 Santa Monica with L022 lever is a residential entry trim set covering the full plate at 3.6 inch by 7.8 inch centers, offered in 14 finishes including Polished Brass, Satin Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome and Satin Black. The Imperial USA TH1100 Series is a lever handle from that series in a left hand configuration. If the remodel calls for one finish family across several entry doors, the Baldwin finish range is the wider selection to standardize on.
