Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal Privacy Knob Set with Contemporary Rose

Yes. The Reserve Contemporary Crystal privacy knob set installs into the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, with a 1 inch edge bore for the latch, and works at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. That covers the prep already in nearly every pre-bored interior door, so a bed or bath door drilled for a common residential knob takes this set with no new boring.

It is a residential set. The Reserve Contemporary Crystal privacy knob carries no ANSI grade rating, which is what a commercial spec or an institutional standardization program usually calls for. For a graded bed and bath privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob over the same thickness range. Use this Baldwin on high-end residential and hospitality guest rooms where the crystal knob is the point.

In most cases yes. The Reserve Contemporary Crystal privacy set uses the 2-1/8 inch bore with a 1 inch edge bore and works at 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the same prep a Kwikset Polo or a Schlage Residential F Series knob sits in. What changes is the rose footprint, so check that the new rose covers the finish ring outline of the old one, especially if you are going from a large rose down to the Contemporary Round Rose. Going up to the five inch rose hides the old mark either way.

The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal privacy knob is a residential privacy set with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. If a commercial specification is driving the job, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 knob lock in the 6 Line Series, though the 6G04 is a storeroom function with a single cylinder rather than a bed and bath privacy set. Grade-rated hardware carries an ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength rating; the crystal knob is built around decorative appearance with the same 2-1/8 inch standard door preparation.

No - a dummy knob has no latch and no locking mechanism, so it will not hold a door closed or give privacy. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal knob is a privacy set with a lock and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset latch. Dummy trim such as the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy, the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 single dummy trim, or the Emtek Cast Stainless Steel Round dummy pair is surface-applied for a fixed or inactive leaf. Use a dummy only where the door is held by a roller or ball catch, and use a privacy set anywhere someone needs to lock the room.

The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal knob is non-keyed, so it does not accept a cylinder. For an opening that has to lock with a key, keyed knob options include the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office ball knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 400P-CP Grade 3 Polo keyed entry knob. The Kwikset keyway on the BER00 matters if the building is already keyed to Kwikset and the new door has to run on the existing key.

For an institutional opening the deciding factors are grade and fire rating, and the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal knob is a residential privacy set. Where a rated door or a heavy-traffic corridor is involved, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty knobset and the Falcon W101 Grade 2 knob lock are both fire rated, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a classroom function specifically, the Dexter C2000 classroom ball knob is a Grade 2 keyed classroom lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that knobs are generally not accepted where ADA operable-hardware requirements apply, which pushes those openings to levers.

Three contemporary rose shapes, each offered in all six finishes: the Contemporary Five Inch Rose (CFR), the Contemporary Round Rose (CRR), and the Contemporary Square Rose (CSR). Finishes are 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 112 Venetian Bronze, 150 Satin Nickel, 190 Satin Black and 260 Polished Chrome. Rose shape is the choice that changes the look most, since the crystal knob is the same across all three. The five inch rose is the one to pick if you are covering old backplate marks or matching taller trim on the rest of the doors.

Yes. Split finish and split rose are both available as write-in options on the Reserve Contemporary Crystal privacy set, so you can run one finish or rose style on the bedroom side and another on the hall side. Useful when a hallway is standardized in one finish and the rooms behind it are not. Specify the exact finish and rose code for each side when you order.

The Contemporary Crystal set here is the privacy function only, for bed and bath doors. Closets and hall doors take a passage latch and non-locking double doors take a dummy, both of which are separate orders in the same Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal line so the crystal knob and rose match across the house. Order by function per opening and keep the rose code (CFR, CRR or CSR) and finish identical across all of them.

No. It is a cylindrical bored knob set, and bored privacy locks are non-handed, so the same part works on a left or right hand door. What you do have to get right is the backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch) and the door thickness, since anything over 2 inches needs the thick door kit.

Privacy and passage are different functions and are ordered separately. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal knob is a privacy set, non-keyed, with a locking mechanism at the door. For hall and closet openings that only need a latch, passage knobsets in the same non-keyed family include the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 Global knob passage lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Schlage D10S Grade 1 Orbit knob passage latch. Those are utility knobs, so a decorative-matched passage knob is the better route if the crystal look continues down the hallway.

They are different materials with different trim arrangements. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal privacy knob is a complete privacy lockset with a working lock, a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1 inch edge bore, ordered on a Contemporary Five Inch, Round, or Square rose. The Emtek Porcelain knobs are supplied as two knobs per set with a threaded rod, which is a knob-and-spindle assembly rather than a bored privacy lock. If the goal is a decorative knob across a whole floor, the crystal set gives you a locking bedroom and bath door on the same 2-1/8 inch bore as the rest of the hardware.

The bore is the common ground. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal privacy knob works to the 2-1/8 inch standard door preparation with a 1 inch edge bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the same cross bore family the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack are installed into, the F500 covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with adjustable backsets. The functional difference is that a Polo passage knob has no lock, so if the outgoing knob was a passage unit the crystal privacy set adds a bed and bath lock the old strike and latch prep already accommodates.

The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal privacy knob is a Contemporary design in six finishes, from Satin Brass PVD and Polished Chrome through Satin Black. If the room calls for traditional solid brass instead, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is a solid brass passage set with a 3 inch projection and the Omnia 458/0 is a solid brass single dummy latchset on a 2-3/8 inch backset. Both Omnia units are passage and dummy functions, so neither one locks - a bedroom or bath opening still needs a privacy set such as the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the crystal knob itself.

They solve different problems. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for 1 3/16 to 2 inch doors, which controls who can enter a space by code. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Crystal knob is a non-keyed privacy set that locks from the inside for a bedroom or bath and releases from the outside for emergencies. A combination lock on a bathroom door means anyone needing access has to know the code, so the privacy function remains the right choice for occupied rooms and the Lockey suits a storage or utility door that should stay secured.
