What material is the handle made from?
The Baltimore lever is crafted from solid brass. This gives it a heavy, premium feel and ensures it won't rust or corrode over time — unlike cheaper zinc-alloy alternatives. The solid brass core is then finished in your chosen surface treatment (e.g. Matt Black, Brushed Brass, Satin Nickel).
Will this handle work on my door — timber or aluminium?
Yes. The Baltimore lever is compatible with both timber and aluminium doors. For timber doors, the included wood screws are used for fixing. For aluminium doors, you may require aluminium-specific fixings depending on your door profile — contact us if you're unsure and we can advise.
How do I know which mortice lock to choose based on my door thickness?
Door thickness determines which mortice lock case you need:
- 35mm – 40mm — Standard mortice lock
- 40mm – 55mm — Heavy-duty or long-case mortice lock
Measure the thickness of your door slab (not including the frame) before ordering. If you're between sizes, contact us and we'll help you select the right lock.
What is the difference between Passage, Privacy and Entrance functions?
The function determines how your door locks and latches:
- Passage — The door latches shut but cannot be locked. Suited to bedrooms, living rooms and studies.
- Privacy — The door can be locked from the inside using a snib (turn-lock), with no key required. Suited to bathrooms, ensuites and powder rooms.
- Entrance — The door locks with a key. Suited to front doors, back doors or any door requiring external security.
What is the difference between Inbuilt and Separate Privacy?
Inbuilt Privacy features a small locking snib built directly into the handle rose — giving a clean, minimalist look with fewer visible components. Separate Privacy uses a standalone turn-and-release set installed below the handle, which is often preferred for a more traditional or architecturally detailed aesthetic. Both achieve the same function; the difference is purely in appearance and profile.
Can I use the Baltimore lever on my front door?
Yes. Select the Entrance function and pair the Baltimore lever with a compatible mortice lock and security cylinder. You can choose between Key/Key (keyed from both sides) or Key/Thumb (thumb turn on the inside, key on the outside — the most popular choice for residential entry doors).
What is included in the box — and what do I need to buy separately?
Each listing includes one pair of Baltimore levers, the round rose backplates, face fix wood screws, and tie bolts. Latches and locks are included depending on the function you select (Passage, Privacy or Entrance). Hinges and flush bolts are not included — use the bundle guide above to select what you need.
How many hinges do I need?
As a general rule, we recommend 3 hinges for internal doors and 3 hinges for entrance or heavier doors. The type of hinge also matters:
- Ball bearing — Best for entrance and heavier doors. Reduces friction and prevents squeaking over time.
- Fixed pin — Suited to internal doors and lighter entrance doors. A reliable all-rounder.
- Loose pin — Internal use only. Ideal for bathrooms as the door can be lifted off its hinges from outside in an emergency, even when locked.
Contact us for a full hinge positioning guide based on your door height and weight.
Do I need flush bolts for a double door?
Yes. Flush bolts are used to secure the inactive leaf of a double door and prevent it from rattling. We recommend:
- Doors under 2100mm — 150mm bolt at the top and 150mm bolt at the bottom
- Doors 2100mm and above — 300mm bolt at the top and 150mm bolt at the bottom
Flush bolts are available in non-lockable and key-lockable versions. A magnetic catch (e.g. PLS24PRO) can also be used in place of the bottom bolt.
Are these handles sold as a pair?
Yes. All Baltimore lever sets are sold as a pair, including handles for both the inside and outside of a single door, along with the spindle and all required fixings.
Is the Baltimore fire rated?
Yes. The Baltimore lever has been successfully fire rated to 2 hours in accordance with Australian Standard AS1530.4:2014. Contact our sales team for further details or documentation.
