Baldwin 4273150 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 4273 wall bumper keep a push-button lock from getting pushed in when the door swings open?
That is exactly what the concave rubber is for. On the Baldwin Reserve 4273, the rubber face is dished so the knob of a button-type lock strikes the bumper without engaging the lock mechanism, which keeps the button from being depressed and protects the lock internals from the impact.
2) Do I need to buy anchors separately for the Baldwin 4273 wall bumper?
No. Each 4273 is individually poly-bagged with both wood and masonry fasteners in a dispensing carton, so it covers a stud or plate wall as well as block or brick without a separate anchor purchase.
3) Is the Baldwin Reserve 4273 rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential item?
Baldwin lists the Reserve 4273 as a residential product. For heavy commercial openings, a cast or extra heavy duty stop is the better call, ZenSupply carries the Trimco 1209 Series extra heavy duty stops and holders for that kind of traffic.
4) My door swings into open space with no wall behind it. Is the Baldwin 4273 still the right stop?
No. The 4273 needs a wall surface directly behind the knob path to work. Where there is nothing to mount to, use a floor stop instead, for example the Trimco 1214 floor stop at 1.75 inches or the Trimco 1200/1201 cast floor stop at 3 inches.
5) What can I use instead of the Baldwin 4273 wall bumper when the door needs to be stopped at the floor rather than the wall?
The Baldwin Reserve 4273 is a wall-mounted flush bumper in a 1.75 inch diameter, so it depends on wall backing directly behind the door's swing. When there is no usable wall - a door that swings into an opening, a corner, or a glass partition - a floor-mounted stop is the alternative. The Trimco 1214 is a floor stop in a 1.75 inch size, matching the 4273 for projection-class diameter, and the Trimco 1200/1201 is a cast floor stop in a 3 inch size for openings that need a taller bumper. Floor stops anchor into the finished floor rather than the wall, so confirm the substrate and that the stop location clears traffic paths.
6) Is the Baldwin Reserve 4273 appropriate for a high-traffic commercial corridor, or should I spec something heavier?
The Baldwin Reserve 4273 is designated residential in its product data and is a solid brass wall flush bumper built around a concave rubber face that lets a button-type lock knob strike it without engaging the lock mechanism. For openings taking heavy commercial abuse, the Trimco 1209 series is an extra heavy duty stop and holder line, and the Trimco 1211 is a universal door stop series. Those are the ones to look at when the traffic level is the deciding factor; the 4273 is the choice when the priority is a finished solid brass appearance and protecting a pushbutton lock.
7) I need the door to stay open, not just stop. Does the Baldwin 4273 hold a door?
No. The Baldwin Reserve 4273 is a wall flush bumper only - it cushions the door at the end of its swing and protects a button-type lock knob from engaging on impact. It has no hold-open mechanism. When the opening needs to be held open, the Trimco 1209 series covers stops and holders together, so a holder function is available in that line. Specify a holder only where the opening is not fire rated or is on a closer with an approved hold-open.
8) Is the Baldwin 4273 a wall-mounted bumper or a floor stop?
It mounts on the wall. The 4273 is a wall flush bumper, meaning it sits flat against the wall surface where the knob lands, rather than being anchored into the floor behind the door swing.
9) How big is the strike face on the Baldwin Reserve 4273 bumper?
The 4273 measures 1.75 inches in diameter. That gives you a small, discreet wall footprint, so aim it carefully at the knob path, a larger-diameter bumper is more forgiving if the door alignment shifts.
10) What BHMA designation does the Baldwin 4273 bumper carry?
The 4273 carries BHMA designation L22251. If your spec or submittal calls out L22251 for a concave wall bumper, this one answers it directly.
11) What finishes can I get the Baldwin Reserve 4273 bumper in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Eight finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 112 Venetian Bronze, 140 Polished Nickel, 150 Satin Nickel, 151 Antique Nickel, 190 Satin Black and 260 Polished Chrome. Those are the standard Baldwin finish numbers, so you can order the bumper in the same code as the levers and hinges on the opening.
12) I manage a building with mixed conditions, some doors hit wall, some do not. Can I standardize on one stop?
Not with the 4273 alone, it only works where there is wall behind the door. A practical split is the Baldwin Reserve 4273 for knob-strike walls and a universal stop such as the Trimco 1211 Series for the rest of the openings. The 4273 comes in eight Baldwin finishes, so you can hold one finish code across the wall-mounted ones.
13) The Trimco 1214 is also 1.75 inch. Is it a direct swap for the Baldwin 4273?
They share a 1.75 inch size but they are not interchangeable by mounting. The Baldwin Reserve 4273 mounts flush to the wall and ships individually poly-bagged with both wood and masonry fasteners, so it anchors into drywall backing, stud, or masonry behind the door. The Trimco 1214 is a floor stop, so it anchors into the floor and catches the door face rather than the wall. Choose by which surface you are anchoring to, not by the matching diameter.
14) I am standardizing stops across a building with several different door and wall conditions. Can one product cover it all?
Not from a single flush bumper. The Baldwin Reserve 4273 covers wall-backed openings at 1.75 inch diameter, and it is the right pick where a pushbutton lock is on the door, since its concave rubber lets the knob strike without tripping the lock. For openings without wall backing you will need a floor stop such as the Trimco 1214 at 1.75 inch or the Trimco 1200/1201 cast floor stop at 3 inch, and the Trimco 1211 universal door stop series is aimed at covering mixed conditions from one series. A common approach is to standardize the Baldwin 4273 finish across all wall-backed doors for appearance and pair it with a floor stop line elsewhere.
15) Why choose the Baldwin 4273 over a Trimco floor stop for a finished residential interior?
Finish and sight lines. The Baldwin Reserve 4273 is part of the Reserve Series in solid brass and comes in eight finishes including Polished Brass PVD, Satin Brass PVD, Venetian Bronze, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Antique Nickel, Satin Black, and Polished Chrome, so it can be matched to the lockset and hinges already on the door. It sits flush on the wall and stays out of the walking path. The Trimco 1200/1201 cast floor stop at 3 inch and the Trimco 1214 at 1.75 inch mount on the floor, which is the stronger choice mechanically but puts hardware underfoot.
16) What is the difference between the Baldwin 4273 and the 4293 bumper?
Both use the same concave rubber that lets a button-lock knob strike without engaging the lock, and both carry BHMA designation L22251. The distinction on record is the federal spec equivalent: Government Type 1327 applies to the 4293 only.
