Baldwin Reserve Taper Full Dummy Leverset with Rustic Rose

A full dummy lever is a fixed pull. There's no latch and no lock inside it, so the lever doesn't turn anything and the door has to be held shut by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch. Use the Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy where you want the lever to match the working doors nearby, typically the inactive leaf of a pair of French doors, a closet door on a catch, or a pantry door. If you need the door to actually latch when it closes, a dummy is the wrong function and you want a passage set instead.

Yes, if those doors use the Taper lever with a Rustic rose. The Taper full dummy is built to the same Reserve Series trim and the same 2-1/8 inch prep as the active passage, privacy, and entry versions, so a run of doors reads as one set with only the dummy lacking a working latch. Match the finish, 481 Dark Bronze or 492 White Bronze, and the rose shape, Rustic Arch or Rustic Square, to what's already hung.

The Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy leverset with rustic rose is a residential dummy lever, so for a commercial opening the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is the closer match - it is a Grade 1, heavy duty, non-keyed dummy trim. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. Both hold the same dummy function, meaning a fixed lever with no latch, while carrying an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating for higher traffic openings.

A full dummy set covers both faces of the door, which is why the Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy is used where an inactive door needs to look like an active passage, privacy or entry door from either side. A single dummy is one side only - the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim and the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy lever are examples, each supplying dummy trim for a single face. Emtek dummy leversets such as the Arts and Crafts lever and the Cortina lever are sold as dummy pairs, covering both faces the way a full dummy does.

The Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy has no lock or latch, so if the door has to hold shut you need a passage function lever instead. Residential-scale options include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set and the Callan Asheville passage leverset, both Grade 3. For heavier duty, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, fire rated, with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever.

No. The Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy is fixed and does not operate a latch, so it will not hold a closet door closed. For a closet, a passage function lever is the part: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is Grade 2 passage/hall/closet, the Accentra 4601LN with Augusta trim is Grade 2 passage/hall/closet, and the Arrow GL01 with Sierra lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.

A dummy lever cannot lock, so a bed or bath door needs a privacy function lever. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a non-keyed privacy lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, though with a Tudor knob rather than a lever. The Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy stays on the inactive leaves and closet fronts where only the appearance of a working set is wanted.

Yes. Split finish and split rose are both offered as optional entries when you order, so you can run one finish or rose style on the corridor side and a different one on the room side. Useful when a bedroom or bath is finished differently from the hallway and you want the hardware to follow the room rather than break the scheme at the door.

For a decorative residential dummy in the same vein, Emtek's Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair and the Hammered lever dummy pair both cover both faces, and the Emtek Classic Cortina lever dummy pair is the more traditional-brass look. Callan's Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever if you want a plainer, less decorative lever. All of them are dummies, so they still need a catch to hold the door closed.

The Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy is chosen for its rustic arch or rustic square rose in dark bronze or white bronze. When appearance is not driving the order, plainer dummy trim covers the same non-keyed fixed-lever job: the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Both mount as trim only, with no latch, the same as the Baldwin.

The Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy carries a rustic design treatment and comes with a rustic arch rose or a rustic square rose, in 481 dark bronze or 492 white bronze. In a similar decorative vein, the Emtek Arts and Crafts leverset is offered as a dummy pair, as is the Emtek hammered lever dummy pair - the hammered lever giving a textured, forged look. All three are dummy function, so they mount as fixed trim rather than operating a latch.

No - those are different jobs. The Baldwin Reserve Taper full dummy is non-keyed fixed trim with no latch. Keypad and pushbutton levers such as the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset, and the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function are access control devices that operate a latch and control who passes. They serve an active, controlled opening, not an inactive leaf that only needs matching trim.

Two finishes, 481 Dark Bronze and 492 White Bronze, and two Rustic rose shapes, RAR Rustic Arch and RSR Rustic Square. All four combinations are built, so either finish comes on either rose. Arch rose reads softer and traditional; the square rose lines up better against square-edge trim and other square rosettes in the room.

Handing isn't a factor. The lever doesn't drive a latch, so there's no left or right hand version to specify and nothing to reverse. Mount it at the height and side that match the working hardware on the neighboring doors. The only orientation call is which way the lever points, and that's set when you fix it to the door.
