Innovative contemporary styling, the Baldwin Estate Collection tells people that you live to a higher standard. While meticulously detailed for architectural accuracy, this is a model of security and function. Select from many other products and accessories in the collection to coordinate your entire home and hardware decor package.Baldwin Estate is a component door hardware system and each component will be selected based on the configurations options chosen. Choosing the correct components for your particular application can be confusing and frustrating. We have trained professionals who can help you choose the correct components based on your requirements and take the hassle out of this process!Keyed Entry (Single Cylinder Mortise) Function: Baldwin single cylinder mortise locks are keyed on the exterior with an associated thumb turn on the inside that can quickly and easily lock or unlock the latch mechanism. Single cylinder locks are most commonly used to secure entrances to a residence or place of business. This is a mortise lock which means that all the components are contained within a lock body which sits within a pocket in the door. A mortise style lock is the most secure form of entry set as it has a sturdier installation and is harder to disable.Solid Forged Brass Construction: All Baldwin hardware begins with raw bars of solid brass which are heated, and pounded into specially made dies—producing a stronger, more substantial product. The difference between lesser metals and heat forged brass is noticeable the minute you hold it in your hands—solid brass is heavier, smoother, and naturally resists corrosion.Premium Estate Latch: An industry standard, Baldwin's Estate latch features a 28 degree rotation providing for easier turning and smoother operation than latches utilizing a 40 degree rotation. Each lever-strength latch also includes heavy-duty springs to offset the weighty construction that accompanies solid forged brass. Further, each Baldwin latch comes with an anti-friction insert that allows for nearly silent closing while also greatly reducing strike plate scratches.Lifetime Finishes™: Baldwin's multi-patented Lifetime Finishes™ provide unprecedented protection against the effects of weather, normal wear and tear, and even the rigorous test of coastal salt air. By adapting the vapor deposition processed used to create premium gold pens, Baldwin creates a unique surface across your door hardware that is guaranteed to withstand the ravages of time.Living Finishes: Baldwin Living Finishes, which include Non-Lacquered Brass, Vintage Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze, are designed to mimic the patina of a well-loved piece of vintage hardware, and as such will change and adapt over time naturally. For those who appreciate the well-worn look of aged door hardware, but still require the strength and durability of a Baldwin finish, Living Finishes are an ideal fit.There are brand names, and then there is Baldwin.
