Baldwin PSCONCFR044 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary knob set suitable for a commercial building or an apartment turn?
It's a residential-rated lockset, so it suits owner units, single family, condo interiors and high-end multi-family interiors rather than heavy commercial traffic. For a commercial corridor or a rental turn where the hardware takes abuse, a Grade 1 passage knob like the Schlage D10S or the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is the durability-rated route, and the Corbin CK4310 also covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
2) What is the closest passage knob equivalent to the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knob set if the door is a commercial opening?
The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knob set is a non-keyed passage function knob set built for residential use. For a commercial opening with the same passage function, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed passage knob lock in the D Series with an Orbit knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Both latch without locking, the same way the Reserve Contemporary passage set does.
3) I need the same look on a bedroom or bathroom door - what knob set locks instead of just latching?
The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary knob set is a passage function, so it turns freely from both sides and never locks. For a bedroom or bath door that needs a push or turn button lock, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset for the same thickness range, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
4) What should I use on the exterior door if I am putting Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knobs on the interior doors?
The Reserve Contemporary passage knob set is non-keyed, so it will not secure an entry door. Keyed entry knob options include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo, a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office ball knob for the same thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder and a Global knob for doors up to 2 inch thick.
5) Is a dummy knob the same thing as a passage knob?
No. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knob set has a working latch, so the knob turns and retracts a latch bolt into the frame. A dummy knob is surface mounted trim with no latch at all and is used on closet or pantry doors held shut by a ball catch. Dummy examples include the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 single dummy trim, and the Bravura Biloxi Grade 2 dummy knobset. Ordering a dummy when the opening needs a latch leaves the door with nothing to hold it closed.
6) I need a passage knob on a labeled fire door - what carries a fire rating?
For a labeled opening, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage/closet knob lock with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with a fire rating, an interchangeable core, and a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knob set is a residential knob set.
7) What passage knob should go on a storeroom or supply closet that has to stay locked?
A passage knob such as the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary latches only and cannot be locked, so it does not suit a secured storeroom. Storeroom function options include the Sargent 6G04, a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04, a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
8) Which rose shapes and finishes does the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knob come in?
Three rose shapes, each available in all six finishes: the Contemporary Round Rose, the Contemporary Square Rose, and the Contemporary Five Inch Rose (a tall rectangular rose that covers more of the stile, useful when you're replacing hardware that left marks or a larger backplate footprint). Finishes are Satin Brass PVD (044), Polished Nickel PVD (055), Venetian Bronze (112), Satin Nickel (150), Satin Black (190) and Polished Chrome (260). Pick the rose first, then the finish.
9) Can I get a Baldwin Reserve knob with different finishes on each side of the door?
Yes. The Reserve Contemporary passage set takes a split finish request at order time, and a split rose request as well, so you can run one finish or rose shape on the hall side and another on the room side. That matters where a powder room or closet faces a different palette than the corridor. Both are free-text order options, so state exactly which finish and rose you want on which side.
10) I'm standardizing knobs across a whole house or floor. Can I match this Baldwin passage knob to the locking doors?
Yes, and it's the normal way to spec Reserve. The passage version handles halls, closets and pantries; the same Reserve Contemporary knob and rose family is also built in privacy for baths and bedrooms, so the trim reads identical door to door with only the function changing. Keep the rose shape and finish code consistent across the order and every opening matches.
11) Does the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knob need handing?
No handing to specify. It's a non-keyed bored passage set with a knob on both faces, so it works on a left or right hand door either way. What you do have to get right is the backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, measured from the door edge to the center of the bore) and the door thickness.
12) What's a lower-cost substitute for the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knob on an interior door?
If the design detail isn't driving the choice, the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob (Grade 3, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors) or the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob (Grade 2, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch) both cover the same hall and closet function on a standard bored prep. What you give up is the Reserve finish range and the choice of round, square or five inch rose. Note both cap out at 1-3/4 inch doors, so neither works on a 2 inch slab.
13) I need a knob on a door that doesn't latch at all, like a closet with a ball catch. Is a passage knob right?
No. A passage set has a working latch and is meant to hold the door closed. For a false door, a double closet leaf or a slab held shut by a ball catch or roller catch, you want dummy trim, which is knob and rose only with no latch and no bore for one. The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy pair or the Schlage A170 single dummy fill that role.
14) Are there other contemporary or modern styled knobs besides the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary?
The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary knob set carries a contemporary design and pairs a knob with a five inch, round, or square contemporary rose. For a similar modern look from another maker, the Sure-Loc Modern Bergen Round Knob is a round modern knob, and the Bravura Dallas is a passage knobset with a rectangle trim rose in a US4 satin brass finish. The Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg are passage knobsets with round trim.
15) Can I use Emtek porcelain or crystal knobs in place of a Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage set?
Not on a door that needs to latch. The Emtek Porcelain Knobs ship as two knobs per set on a threaded rod, and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence knobsets are dummy function. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary set is a passage lock with a latch that retracts when the knob turns, so those Emtek sets are decorative trim rather than a functional replacement.
16) Is there a passage knob that locks itself without a key for a back hallway door?
The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, so entry is by code rather than key. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage knob set is non-keyed and latches only, with no code or key control.
17) What is the difference between the Arrow MK01 and RK01 passage knobs when cross-shopping a Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage set?
Both Arrow units are Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob locks for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The MK01 is in the MK Series and the RK01 is in the RK Series with a ball knob. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary passage set is a residential knob set with a contemporary design in a choice of contemporary five inch, round, or square rose.
