Operazione
The Baldwin Fillmore Estate Door Knobs operate based on the function of the associated door hardware (latch, lock, etc.).
- Dummy Function: These knobs are stationary and do not turn. They are used for decorative purposes or as pulls on cabinet doors or inactive door panels.
- Funzione di passaghju: When paired with a passage latch, the knobs turn freely to retract the latch bolt, allowing the door to open. There is no locking mechanism.
- Privacy Function: When paired with a privacy latch, the knobs turn to retract the latch bolt. A privacy pin or button on the interior knob allows for locking the door from the inside, typically without a key.
To open a door with a passage or privacy knob, simply turn the knob in either direction and pull or push the door. For privacy functions, engage the locking mechanism from the interior as needed.

To maintain the finish and functionality of your Baldwin door knobs:
- Pulizia: Clean the knobs regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishing agents, as these can damage the polished chrome finish.
- Lubrificazione: If the internal mechanism (if applicable) becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
- Ispezione: Periodically check all mounting screws for tightness. Retighten if necessary to ensure secure attachment.
