Baldwin Reserve Square Privacy Leverset with Contemporary Rose

Both. The Reserve privacy leverset ships to work at either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops onto standard residential door prep either way. The edge bore is 1 inch, which is the usual latch bore on an existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore. If you are replacing an older lever or knob on a prepped door, measure from the door edge to the center of the big hole and set the latch to match.

It is built and rated as residential hardware, so it belongs on homes, condo interiors and light multifamily bedrooms and baths. For a commercial restroom or anything on a fire rated opening, go to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock instead, such as the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock, which we carry as Grade 1 with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range, or the Hager 2540 privacy set for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

For a bed or bath door needing the same non-keyed privacy function on a lever, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton Privacy Lever Set is the nearest peer, listed as Grade 3 with a privacy function and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Baldwin Reserve Square is a residential privacy lever set with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1 inch edge bore, offered with Contemporary Five Inch, Round, or Square roses. The Breton uses a round trim of its own and does not carry the Reserve Series square lever profile, so it is a functional match rather than an appearance match.

The Baldwin Reserve Square privacy lever is a residential set. For a commercial restroom or patient room, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy function lock listed as Grade 1 with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so where ADA lever operation is required on the opening, the Hager Withnell lever trim is the one that keeps the lever.

The Baldwin Reserve Square privacy leverset is non-keyed. Where a key is required on the same 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset opening, the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset over 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester is an entry lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Both change the opening from privacy to keyed entry, so the interior push button gives way to a cylinder.

Three contemporary rose shapes, each offered in all six finishes: Contemporary Square Rose, Contemporary Round Rose, and Contemporary Five Inch Rose. Finishes are 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 112 Venetian Bronze, 150 Satin Nickel, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. The five inch rose covers a larger footprint on the door face, which is useful when you are replacing an older set that left a bigger paint or finish shadow.

Yes, split finish and split rose are both available. Enter what you want on each side in the optional split rose and split finish fields when ordering, for example a Satin Black hall side with Polished Nickel in the bath, or a square rose facing one room and a round rose facing the other. Leave them blank and both sides come the same.

It is part of Baldwin's Reserve Series, which is built as a family: the same square lever and contemporary rose designs run across privacy, passage and keyed entry functions, so bedroom and bath doors match the hall and closet doors. Stay in one finish code across the order and hold to one rose shape per floor if you want them reading identically.

Order the passage version of the same Reserve lever and rose rather than this one. A privacy set locks, and you do not want a closet or hallway door that can lock someone out or a child in. If you are matching on a budget across a rental instead of staying in the Baldwin line, the Bravura Tampa square trim passage leverset is a Grade 2 square option, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

For a straightforward bed and bath swap where the look is not the point, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy function lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Reserve is the choice when you want the square contemporary trim, PVD finishes and split rose or split finish options on the same opening.

Yes, drill the standard bored prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face and a 1 inch bore in the door edge for the latch, with the cross bore centered at either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches from the edge depending on which backset you set the latch to. That is the same prep most residential lever and knob sets use, so a new slab bored to it will accept this lock without modification.

A privacy set adds a push-button or turn lock the closet or hallway door will never use. For a straight latching lever, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton Passage Lever is Grade 3 with a passage function over 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. On a heavier opening the Hager 2510 with the Withnell design is a Grade 2 passage lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. All three drop the locking mechanism the Baldwin Reserve Square privacy set carries.

The Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, so it carries square rose geometry similar to the Baldwin Reserve Square offered with the CSR Contemporary Square Rose. The important difference is function: the Tampa is passage only and will not lock, while the Baldwin Reserve Square is a privacy set. Use the Tampa on the closet and keep the Baldwin on the bath so the trim reads consistent down the hall.

No. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch at all, so it will not hold a door closed. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the Emtek Classic Cortina is sold as a dummy pair for double doors. The Baldwin Reserve Square privacy leverset operates a latch and locks with a push button, and it bores to a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore. If the leaf is truly inactive and held by flush bolts, the dummy is the correct part; if it must latch, it is not a substitute.

The Baldwin Reserve Square is a residential set. On corridor doors that take constant use, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, a fire rating, and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are passage function, so pair them with the Baldwin privacy sets on the unit bath doors rather than as a direct swap.

The Baldwin Reserve Square privacy leverset locks from the inside with no key, which suits a bed or bath door. A staff restroom that has to be secured from outside takes a different function: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 keyed with a clutching lever. Storeroom keeps the outside lever locked at all times, classroom is keyed from the outside to lock and unlock, and privacy is controlled only by the occupant inside.

Cylindrical bored lever sets like this one are reversible in the field, so you set the lever to the swing of the door during install rather than ordering left or right hand. What you do have to get right up front is door thickness, since the standard build stops at 2 inches and thicker doors need the service part kit.

They solve different problems. The Baldwin Reserve Square privacy leverset locks from the occupied side with no code and no key. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with a passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Emtek Classic Keypad Leverset is a keypad set in the Classic series. A keypad controls who gets in from outside; it does not give the person inside a one-touch privacy lock, so on a bath or bedroom the privacy set is the right function.

The Baldwin Reserve Square privacy leverset is a contemporary design offered with three rose shapes and finishes including 150 Satin Nickel and 190 Satin Black. For the hall and closet doors alongside it, the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, and the Bravura Tampa is the square trim version. The Bravura trim is its own design rather than a Baldwin Reserve rose, so expect a coordinating look rather than an identical one.
