Baldwin FDRUSRAR481 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Reserve Rustic full dummy knob set have a latch, or is it just the knob and rose?
No latch, no lock, no strike. A full dummy is trim only: knobs on both faces of the door mounted to a rose, fixed in place, they don't turn and there's nothing to retract. Baldwin's Reserve Rustic dummy is non-keyed and carries the Dummy function, so it's for closet doors, French door inactive leaves, and pantry doors that are held shut by a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch you supply separately. If you need the knob to actually turn and pull a latch, order a passage set instead.
2) Will the Baldwin Reserve Rustic dummy knob fit the holes already drilled in my door?
It's built to drop into standard door prep. The Reserve Rustic dummy mounts within the 2-1/8 inch bore used for an active passage, privacy or entry lock, and it takes a 1 inch edge bore. That means if you're swapping out a working knob for dummy trim on a closet or inactive leaf, the existing prep works and you don't patch anything. On a slab with no prep at all you'd still bore the 2-1/8 inch cross bore to mount it.
3) Is the Baldwin Reserve Rustic knob rated for a commercial building or an apartment turnover?
It's a residential-grade product. Baldwin lists the Reserve Rustic knob set as Residential, so it suits single family, custom homes, and higher-end multi-family interiors. For a commercial corridor, a school, or a high-traffic MRO application where a graded dummy is specified, look at the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, a Grade 2 heavy duty unit covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, or the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, also Grade 2, medium duty.
4) The door actually needs to latch - what takes the place of a dummy knob set?
A dummy knob has no latch, so if the door has to stay shut you want passage function. The Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob lock is Grade 2, non-keyed, non-clutching, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage/closet lock is Grade 1 with a global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a fire rating.
5) I need one side of the door to match the hallway and the other side to match the bedroom. Can I split the finish?
Yes, and split rose too. The Reserve Rustic dummy takes an optional split finish and an optional split rose specification at the time of order, so you can run one finish or rose style on the corridor face and a different one on the room face. This is the request that comes up constantly on a renovation where the hall hardware was standardized years ago and the room side is being redone. Enter both sides in the split fields when ordering rather than buying two sets.
6) Is a full dummy or a single dummy the right thing for my pair of French doors?
For French doors you generally want a full dummy on the inactive leaf, because you get a knob on both faces and the door looks identical from either room. A single dummy is trim on one face only, which is what you use on a bi-fold or a closet door that's only ever seen from one side. The Baldwin Reserve Rustic set is the full dummy version. If one face is all you need, the Schlage A170 and the BEST 6K single dummy trims are single-face products.
7) Can I match this Baldwin dummy knob to working locks on the other doors in the same room?
That's exactly what it's for. The Reserve Rustic dummy is built to read the same as an active passage, privacy or entry knob on the adjacent openings, same knob, same rose, same 481 Dark Bronze or 492 White Bronze finish, just without a latch behind it. So a closet or an inactive French leaf in a room where the working doors carry Baldwin Reserve hardware won't look like the odd one out. Keep the rose shape consistent across the room, arch or square, when you specify.
8) Is the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob a substitute for a Baldwin Reserve Rustic dummy set?
No. The Kwikset 200P Polo is a passage door knob for interior hall and closet doors and ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike. The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is dummy function and non-keyed, with no latch or strike involved. Swapping one for the other changes whether the door latches shut, so decide the function first.
9) What other dummy knob sets come as a pair for a double door or a French door pair?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is a full dummy knob set. Among dummy-function knobs, the Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg knobset and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence knobsets are each supplied as a dummy pair, and the Emtek Porcelain knobs ship as two knobs per set with a threaded rod. Those pair configurations cover both leaves of an inactive opening.
10) My door is 2 inches thick - which knobs cover that range without a thick door kit?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic dummy knob set covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as standard and takes a thick door service part kit for 2 inch to 2-1/2 inch. If you would rather buy a lock rated to 2 inch out of the box, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage/closet lock and the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset lists 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
11) The closet door needs a lock, not a dummy - what do I order instead?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is non-keyed dummy trim, so it cannot secure anything. For a locking closet or storeroom, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
12) Which knob sets match a dummy knob for the rest of the doors in the same unit?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic dummy is built to match the look of an active passage, privacy or entry door within the 2.125 inch standard door preparation. If you are standardizing a unit across functions in one line, the Pamex Baron FTF comes in entrance/office, privacy and passage as Grade 3 knob locksets for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 Series covers entry/office, privacy, passage and classroom as Grade 2 ball knob locks over the same thickness range.
13) Is the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only the same idea as a dummy knob?
They are not interchangeable. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design from the 7800 Series, and the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with a knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, both of which mount to an exit device rather than to a plain bored door. The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is a dummy knob set for the 2.125 inch standard door preparation with no device behind it.
14) What is the difference between the Omnia 458/0 dummy knob and the Baldwin Reserve Rustic dummy?
The Omnia 458/0 is a traditional single dummy knob latchset with a 2-3/8 inch backset in solid brass construction. The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is a full dummy knob set with a rustic arch or rustic square rose and a 1 inch edge bore, offered in dark bronze and white bronze. The Omnia 434/PA is the same egg-shaped family in passage function with a 3 inch projection if the door needs to latch instead.
