A half dummy is a single non-functioning lever mounted on one face of the door. It does not latch, does not turn, and has no bolt or spindle through the door, so it is pull hardware only. The Baldwin 5118 with 5076 round rose is set up this way for closet doors, French door inactive leaves, and door faces where you want the look of a lever without any latching. If you need hardware on both faces, you need two, or a dummy pair such as the Emtek Cortina lever dummy pair.

Yes. The 5118 covers doors from 1-3/8 inches up to 1-3/4 inches thick, which takes in both the common older interior thickness and standard 1-3/4 inch doors. Thinner than 1-3/8 or thicker than 1-3/4 and it is the wrong part.

No. The 5118 Estate lever is a residential product, and as a dummy it carries no grade or fire rating. For commercial openings that need a graded non-keyed lever, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, which is Grade 1 heavy duty, or the BEST 7KC single dummy trim in Grade 2. For a functioning passage lever, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 and fire rated.

A half dummy has no latch and no mechanism, so if the door must latch, use a passage lever instead. Residential options include the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton Grade 3 passage lever and the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset; for commercial openings the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and the Dexter C1000 passage is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Only partly. The Emtek Arts and Crafts and Classic Cortina dummy leversets are sold as dummy pairs, meaning trim for both faces of the door. The Baldwin 5118 with 5076 rose is a half dummy, which is a single-side lever. If you are dressing one face only, the half dummy matches; if you need both faces of an inactive door, the pair sets cover it in one order.

The Baldwin 5118 half dummy covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker doors, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Note those are latching passage locks rather than dummy trim.

A half dummy cannot lock. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever and the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset. For privacy on a bath or bedroom, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever and the Hager 2540 uses the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

Projection is 2.8 inches off the face, with a lever grip length of 4.7 inches. Worth checking against a door that swings back against a wall, a trim casing, or an adjacent door in a tight closet bank, since a dummy lever has no clutch and will take the impact directly.

No cross bore or latch bore is needed. A half dummy has no latch and no through spindle, so it fastens to one face of the door only. The 5118 uses concealed fasteners, so nothing shows once it is mounted. If you are replacing a working lever, you will be covering an existing 2-1/8 inch bore with the rose rather than using it.

The 5118 Estate lever on a 5076 round rose is the same trim as Baldwin's functioning 5118 levers, so a half dummy on the closet reads identically to a latching lever on the bedroom door next to it. Keep the finish consistent (this one is Satin Black) and specify the correct hand on each dummy, since dummies are handed while many passage levers are reversible.

For residential-grade dummy trim, the Callan Bentley dummy lever is a Grade 2 option. Among decorative pairs, Emtek offers dummy pairs in Arts and Crafts, Hammered, and Cortina lever styles if you need hardware on both faces. If the door actually needs to latch, a dummy is the wrong choice entirely, and a Grade 3 passage lever like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty cylindrical lever dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Both give you the same non-latching dummy function as the Baldwin 5118 half dummy at a medium duty level rather than heavy duty.

Yes. The Baldwin 5118 half dummy with 5076 rose is specified left hand reverse, so it is ordered to the opening. By contrast the Falcon B101 and Falcon K101 passage locks are described as non-handed levers, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible. If you are unsure of the hand on a replacement, a non-handed or reversible lever removes that decision - but it will be a latching lever, not a dummy.

No. The Baldwin 5118 half dummy with 5076 rose is decorative single-side lever trim for a bored door prep. Lever trim for an exit device is a different part, such as the Corbin Russwin 585F715 Grade 1 lock lever for ED8000 pushpad exit devices, or the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with entry function. Keyless openings use a dedicated unit such as the Emtek Classic keypad leverset or the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock.

The Baldwin 5118 half dummy is a residential lever with no latch, so it is not a corridor opening lock. Institutional specs typically call for Grade 1 cylindrical levers such as the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant fire rated passage, the Falcon T101 heavy duty passage with pressure release technology, or the Dexter C1000 classroom and classroom security functions. For asylum or utility openings, the Dexter C1000 asylum F87 is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Baldwin 5118 half dummy uses a round 5076 rose in a traditional style. For round-trim passage levers, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass, the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, and the Bravura Tampa is the square-trim counterpart if you want the angular profile instead.
