Q: What materials are Baldwin handlesets made from?
A: The core components of Baldwin handlesets are primarily crafted from solid forged brass, known for its strength, durability, and rich aesthetic. This solid construction ensures a substantial feel and long-lasting performance, complemented by various high-quality finishes.

A: Yes, one of the great advantages of Baldwin handlesets is the ability to customize the interior trim. You can often choose from a wide selection of coordinating Baldwin door knobs or levers, along with different styles of rosettes or escutcheons, to perfectly match your interior design.
Q: How do I determine the correct handing for my handleset?
A: Determining handing is crucial for handlesets with interior levers. Stand on the outside of the door looking in. If the hinges are on the left, it's a left-hand (LH) door. If the hinges are on the right, it's a right-hand (RH) door.
Q: What's the difference between a single cylinder and a double cylinder handleset?
A: A single cylinder handleset is operated by a key from the exterior and a thumbturn from the interior. A double cylinder handleset requires a key for operation from both the exterior and the interior. Double cylinder handlesets offer heightened security but are generally not recommended for primary exit doors due to fire safety concerns (requires a key for emergency exit).
