Baldwin FD.LONXRUS.RAE.481 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a full dummy entry handleset and how is it used?
A full dummy entry handleset has no locking mechanism or latch. Both handles are fixed and non-functional. Used on doors that need the appearance of hardware but don't require operation, such as decorative doors or double door applications where only one side operates.
2) What door thickness does the Baldwin Reserve Longview accommodate?
Standard residential door thickness is 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Verify your door thickness before ordering. Commercial applications may require different backset measurements. Check manufacturer specifications for exact compatibility.
3) Is this handleset handed for left or right swing doors?
Dummy handlesets are typically non-handed since they don't operate. The Longview can be installed on either left or right swing doors. The thumb turn and grip orientation remain the same regardless of door swing.
4) What finishes are available for the Reserve Longview series?
Baldwin Reserve offers multiple finish options including brass, bronze, and nickel tones. Each finish is designed for durability and consistency across the product line. Check specific finish availability as options may vary by model.
5) What grade rating does this Baldwin Reserve handleset carry?
Baldwin Reserve products are engineered for residential and light commercial use. As a dummy set, it doesn't undergo the same cycle testing as operational hardware. Focus on build quality and finish durability for your application needs.
6) Does this meet building code requirements for egress doors?
Dummy handlesets cannot be used alone on egress doors since they don't operate. If used on exit doors, a separate functional locking mechanism must be provided. Always verify local building codes for specific egress hardware requirements.
7) What components are included with the full dummy handleset?
Typically includes exterior and interior handles, mounting hardware, and installation template. No latch or strike plate since it's non-functional. Verify complete component list before installation to ensure all parts are present.
8) How do I install a dummy handleset on a pre-hung door?
Use the provided template to mark hole locations. Standard entry sets require 2-1/8" bore hole and 1" cross bore. Since no latch is used, only the main bore hole is drilled. Follow manufacturer template exactly for proper alignment.
9) What maintenance does the Baldwin Reserve finish require?
Clean with mild soap and water using soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Some finishes develop natural patina over time. Regular cleaning maintains appearance and prevents buildup of dirt or salt residue.
10) Can I convert this dummy set to functional hardware later?
Converting requires adding a latch mechanism and strike plate. The door prep remains the same if using standard bore dimensions. You would need to purchase additional latch components compatible with the Longview handleset design.
11) What other Baldwin Reserve models work with the Longview style?
The Reserve collection offers coordinating deadbolts, passage sets, and privacy functions in the Longview design. This allows consistent appearance across all doors in your project. Browse our Baldwin hardware selection for matching pieces.
12) Will this handleset work on exterior doors in coastal environments?
Coastal salt air accelerates corrosion on metal finishes. Choose marine-grade finishes when available. Increase cleaning frequency to remove salt deposits. Consider protective coatings if manufacturer approves. Verify finish warranty coverage for coastal installations.
