The Baldwin 0521004 swivel spindle facilitates the privacy function of your door hardware. Once installed with compatible Baldwin Estate privacy knobs or levers, the privacy mechanism typically operates as follows:

• Engaging Privacy: From the interior side of the door, a small button, turn-piece, or lever on the knob/lever set is used to engage the privacy lock. This action prevents the exterior knob/lever from operating the latch.
• Disengaging Privacy: The privacy lock can be disengaged from the interior by turning or pressing the mechanism. In case of emergency, most privacy functions can be unlocked from the exterior using a small tool (e.g., a paperclip) inserted into a small hole on the exterior knob/lever.

The spindle ensures the rotational movement of the knobs/levers is correctly translated to the latch and privacy mechanism.
