Wanted to take a minute and forward a few updates from Baldwin Hardware.   I apologize for all the information in this email.  But if you have any issues downloading information or have questions please reach out to me directly.

First, I’ve attached links to PDF versions of both Baldwin Estate and Baldwin Reserve catalogs.   Please forward to your teams.  Now that editing and additions are complete on the Reserve catalog they will be going to print very soon.   I will ensure each showroom get copies of this catalog.  The Estate print will be printed soon once we’ve launched the new Level x Baldwin Deadbolt series.

Excited to announce that Liberty is launching their Inverter. This inverter will allow for a 120v sump, sewage, or grinder pump to be ran on batteries in the event of a power outage. Please see below and attached for more details. 

The LNV 75 and LNV 100 are both available for order today! They are also already in our September 15, 2025 price book (link below and pdf attached).

We would like to inform you that the Glossy Black Acrylic option has now been discontinued. This finish, previously available under codes EXT48 and INT48, is no longer part of our product offering.

For your upcoming projects, we invite you to consider the Matte Black option (EXT48M). Elegant, contemporary, and versatile, this finish is already well-recognized and appreciated across the industry.

I am attaching a couple of important documents for this launch (price file, product map)

I wanted to reach out to share a newsletter that includes some exciting information on our BlueStar brand.

• Price increase coming the end of the month
• New Sealed Burner Gas Cooktop 25,000BTUs 110 simmer
• New Induction Range now available in 36in and 48in
• Custom Hoods added options Normandy now with trim reveal
• New Trim Option “BLACK MATTE”
• Current Promos (reach out to review any options available)
• LEAD TIMES (quick gas ranges, columns, range tops and others)
• CEU events mainly by webinar videos but Designer get credits
• Lowered pricing on built in refrigeration that we make ourselves 
• RCS level ranges still lowered at $3995 and $4995 till 9/5

We would love to get some new display orders out there:

On our NEW sealed burner gas cooktops. We believe it is the best gas cooktop on the market. 25,000BTUS amazing coverage with 152 ports for the flames and 110 hold super simmer. 

Our induction range continues to do extremely well for us. Customers have been driving from really far to see it on display to then make their purchase. It is unique and hard to sell without showing it but those that have floored it are doing incredible with sales. It is really worth flooring if induction is of interest in your market. We offer in 48in and 36in

DF ranges still continue to be our best sellers. In some markets dealers may have not floored one yet for display. With the sales being our highest in any category I do suggest having one on the floor. Dealers such as Yale and ABT have said it is by far the best 48in DF range in the industry for all it offers.
