Baldwin Estate Extended Lead Time

Good afternoon all.

I wanted to give you an update from Baldwin Estate.

As many of you know Baldwin Estate is manufactured in Nogales, Mexico.   Product is forged, finished and packed there before it is shipped to Baldwin’s Kansas distribution facility.

In response to the COVID19 spread the Mexican government has temporarily closed all non-medical manufacturing in Nogales.

This will effect lead-time on most Estate product since it is made to order.  Any new orders for a la carte or made to order will have an extended 8 week leadtime.  Any open order that has not left the Nogales, MX walls will also get a 8 week leadtime.

This does affect the Baldwin Estate Quickship program at this time.  Please feel free to use where opportunity are present.  This product is stocked in our warehouse in Kansas.  Those items are marked in the 2020 April catalog. 

Links to PDF catalogs are in my email signature below.

Please, also feel free to use wholesale distribution to fill any open orders or new orders as needed.  Here are a list of those wholesalers.  * accounts have the most available inventory. 

*Top Notch – (800) 233-4210

*Direct Security Supply – (800) 252-5757

Jeske Hardware (800) 677-3383

Banner Solutions – (800) 334-5625

*Huntington Hardware – (909) 629-5301

This temporary shutdown does not affect the Baldwin Reserve.  Reserve components come from Asia into our North Caroline distribution facility.  In NC these components are stored in bins and used to assemble, package and ship when orders come in.  Leadtime is normal 7 day average.

I’ve attached a letter from Baldwin Hardware with anticipated questions/answers.  Please review.

AS I get more information I will forward.
