Baldwin Reserve Columbus Full Dummy Entry Handleset with Traditional Rose

No latch, no locking mechanism, no bolt of any kind. A full dummy handleset is a pull only. It mounts to the face of the door and the handle does not retract anything, so on a double door it goes on the inactive leaf while the active leaf carries the passage or keyed handleset that actually holds the pair shut. If you need the door to latch, this is the wrong function.

Both sides. It ships as a set, exterior handleset plus interior trim, so one order covers the full inactive leaf. That is worth knowing because plenty of dummy handlesets on the market are exterior-only trim. You pick the inside handle separately from nine styles: Ellipse, Round or Traditional knob, or Curve, Decorative and Federal levers in left or right hand.

It does, if you choose a lever. The Curve, Decorative and Federal inside levers are each ordered left handed or right handed, so you need to know which way the door swings before you place the order. The three knob options (Ellipse, Round, Traditional) are non-handed, so a knob sidesteps the question entirely. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door.

Pair it with a passage or keyed Baldwin handleset on the active leaf and keep the finish, rose and inside handle style consistent across both. The Columbus is offered with three Traditional roses (Arch, Round, Square) and the same eight finishes, so the visual match is a matter of specifying the identical rose and finish code on both leaves. The dummy leaf gets no latch, which is the point: the inactive door is held by flush bolts and the active door does the latching.

The Columbus full dummy is non-keyed with a dummy lock function, so it cannot secure an opening. For a keyed active leaf, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance set in the F Series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest handleset with Hudson knob is a single cylinder set in the Premiere Essentials line for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder set for thicker doors, 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Pairing a keyed set on the active leaf with the dummy set on the inactive leaf is the standard double door arrangement.

The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever is the nearest match in function - it is a dummy handleset in the Weslock Premiere Essentials Series and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob covers the same dummy function in the Elegance Series with the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and gives you a knob interior rather than a lever. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is likewise a dummy set with no latch and no locking mechanism, and its inside trim can be ordered as a knob or a lever.

Emtek's brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function cover the same job across four styles: the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan. All four are dummy function, so like the Baldwin Reserve Columbus they have no latch and no locking mechanism and act purely as a pull on the inactive leaf. The difference is the design vocabulary - the Emtek sets are drawn from the Memphis, Hamilton, Melrose and Manhattan series, while the Columbus carries a traditional design with a choice of traditional arch, round or square rose.

They share the dummy function but not the body style. The Emtek 3004 Hamilton and 3006 Manhattan are brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a bored handleset with a 1 inch edge bore and traditional rose trim. If the door is already prepped for a mortise case, the Emtek profile matches that prep; if the door has a standard bored prep, the Columbus is the one that drops into it.

A 1 inch edge bore is the spec Baldwin lists for it. Since a full dummy has no latch to run through the door, the prep is far lighter than a keyed or passage opening, and on a new inactive leaf you are mainly setting the through-bolt locations for the exterior plate and inside trim. Match the 1 inch edge bore and the mounting holes to the installation guide.

Yes. By default the interior trim ships in the same finish as the exterior. If you want a split finish, say a Satin Black exterior with Polished Nickel inside, you specify the two finishes at order. Eight finishes are offered: Polished Brass PVD (003), Satin Brass PVD (044), Polished Nickel PVD (055), Venetian Bronze (112), Satin Nickel (150), Matte Antique Nickel (152), Satin Black (190) and Polished Chrome (260).

Baldwin classes the Reserve series as residential, and the Columbus is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. For a house, a condo or light multi-family entry that is the right band. For a commercial opening under a Grade 1 spec on the drawings, it is not the product to submit. Note also that as a dummy it carries no security function at all in service, the grade statement applies to the series construction.

No. There is no cylinder in it, it is a non-keyed dummy function, so there is nothing to key or rekey. If you are keying a whole house or a small portfolio to one key, the dummy leaf simply drops out of the keying schedule and you key the active door instead. Keep the finish and trim style matched to the keyed set so the pair looks like one assembly.

The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function Grade 2 set in the J Series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Schlage JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with Torino lever is a passage function Grade 2 set in the JI Series over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, with a keyed deadbolt above it. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a full dummy - no latch and no locking mechanism at all - so it holds nothing and is intended as a pull on the inactive side of a double door.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3 sets in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 in entrance function. Note that the Kwikset and Master Lock sets are keyed entrance products while the Columbus is a full dummy with no locking mechanism, so the grade comparison speaks to construction rather than to equivalent function.

The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey cylinder, RCAL latch and RCS strike, in the Signature Series for 1-3/4 inch doors. Yale Real Living covers touchscreen options with the Ridgefield handleset: the BYRD226NRRX is standalone, the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key free Wi-Fi touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim connected by August. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a non-keyed dummy set and carries no cylinder or electronics.

Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston are all entry function solid brass sets, and the 810871 Montego fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Any of these can carry the active leaf while the Baldwin Reserve Columbus full dummy serves as the pull on the inactive side, since the Columbus ships as a set with both interior and exterior handleset and no latch of its own. Confirm the finish match between the two brands before ordering.

No - they solve different problems. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3 keyed entrance handlesets supplied as exterior only, so the inside trim is not included and they carry a working cylinder. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a full dummy set supplied with both the interior and exterior handleset and no latch or locking mechanism, and the inside trim is ordered as part of the set from a range of knobs and levers.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a residential product tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2, and it is a dummy function set, so it applies only to inactive leaves and pull-only openings. For a facility standard that includes working locks, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset and the JE285 Barcelona non-keyed handleset are both Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 in entrance function. A common approach is a Grade 2 keyed or passage set on active leaves with the Columbus dummy on the inactive leaves in matching finish.

Traditional design throughout. The rose, the round or shaped plate behind the inside handle, comes three ways: Traditional Arch, Traditional Round and Traditional Square. Square reads more transitional on a panelled door, arch and round sit closer to classic colonial trim. Pick the rose that matches the interior levers and knobs already on the adjacent doors rather than the exterior style.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus requires handing only when the inside trim is a lever - the Curve, Decorative and Federal levers are each ordered left handed or right handed, while the Ellipse, Round and Traditional knobs are not handed. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset uses the Impresa knob, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset uses the New Heaven lever. Emtek's dummy mortise entrance handlesets in the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan styles are the other dummy options in the set. Confirm the swing before ordering any levered dummy.
