Baldwin BAL-0183.044 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin Reserve 0183 knocker mount on a 1-3/4 inch thick entry door?
Yes. The 0183 ships packed one per box with fasteners sized for 1.75 inch thick doors, which is the usual thickness of an exterior entry slab. It through-bolts, so the fasteners pass all the way through the door and take a nut on the interior face. If your slab is thicker than 1-3/4 inches (some solid or clad doors run heavier), the supplied bolts won't reach and you'll need longer through-bolts cut to your thickness.
2) What are the bolt hole centers on the Baldwin 0183 knocker, and will it cover the holes from my old knocker?
Bolt centers on the 0183 are 4.75 inches (120mm), and the knocker itself measures 4.28 by 5.91 inches. If your existing knocker was drilled at the same 4.75 inch spacing, it drops onto the same two holes. If the old spacing is different, you'll be drilling fresh holes, so measure the old centers first and check that the 4.28 by 5.91 inch body is large enough to hide the abandoned holes on your door face.
3) Does the Baldwin 0183 door knocker come with mounting hardware or do I have to source fasteners?
Everything needed to hang it is in the box. The 0183 is sold as a complete set with its mounting hardware, packed one to a box and poly-bagged with the fasteners. Nothing else is required to install it on a standard 1-3/4 inch door beyond a drill and a bit sized to your bolts.
4) How much flat door face do I need for a Baldwin 0183 knocker on a door with glass?
You need a clear flat area of at least 4.28 by 5.91 inches, with room to drill two through-holes 4.75 inches on center within it. That rules out most narrow stile and full-lite glass doors, where the rail or stile is too shallow to take a body that size. On a door with a lite, check the width of the solid rail below the glass before ordering; if the flat area is short, a knocker is the wrong hardware for that opening.
5) What finishes does the Baldwin Reserve 0183 knocker come in, and how do I match it to my existing Baldwin entry set?
Seven finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. Baldwin uses the same finish numbers across its lines, so the simplest way to match a handleset or entry trim already on the door is to order the knocker in the same numeric code that appears on that hardware.
6) Which Baldwin 0183 knocker finish holds up best on a west-facing or coastal front door?
Four of the seven are PVD finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, and 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel. PVD is a vapor-deposited coating that resists tarnish and UV far better than a lacquered brass, which is why it's the usual pick for a door in full sun or salt air. The 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome are the choices when the look matters more than the coating type.
7) What do I need to specify when ordering the Baldwin Reserve 0183 knocker for several units?
Two things settle the order: model 183 from the Baldwin Reserve series, and the finish code. Each knocker ships one to a box with its own fasteners, so quantity is simply one per door. When you are standardizing a run of entries, order every door in the same finish code so the knockers match unit to unit rather than mixing, say, 055 Polished Nickel with 056 Satin Nickel, which read differently side by side.
8) Is the Baldwin 0183 knocker meant for a house, or can I put it on apartment or office entries?
Baldwin specifies the Reserve 0183 as residential hardware. That suits single-family entries, townhomes, and unit doors in multi-family where the look drives the choice. For a high-traffic commercial entrance, a knocker is decorative rather than duty-rated hardware, so nothing about the 0183 is built around commercial cycle testing.
