Since 1946, Baldwin Hardware has been handcrafting hardware for doors, cabinets and other fixtures in residential and commercial installations. Their line of door hardware includes levers in a wide variety of styles, materials and color combinations. The Baldwin door lever itself is held in place by a small screw on the side of the lever. Removing a Baldwin door lever involves loosening this screw so the lever can be slipped out of place.
Step 1
Open the door containing the Baldwin door lever.

Step 2
Place a block of wood between the edge of the door and the door frame. This will allow you to work on the Baldwin lever while the door is open.
Step 3
Look on the side of the lever for the small hole for the handle screw.
Step 4
Insert a hex wrench into the hole on the lever and turn counterclockwise until you feel the lever come loose.
Step 5
Pull the lever off the stem by pulling it towards you.
Step 6
Remove the dummy face plate, if present, by loosening the screws on either side with a screwdriver. Pull the face plate off the door.
