Baldwin L021 Lever Left Hand Half Dummy w/ R017 Rose

No cross bore is needed for the half dummy. It surface mounts to the face of the door, which is why it works on a door that was never prepped for a lock. The Baldwin spec sheet does list a 1 inch edge bore and a 2-3/8 inch backset for the L021 line, so if you are matching this lever to other openings in the same house that carry working locks, that's the prep those take.

Baldwin lists the L021 lever as reversible, so one lever covers a left or right hand opening. On a dummy that mostly means which way the lever throw points once mounted. Set it so the lever sweeps down toward the latch edge, same as the working levers on the rest of your doors.

The Baldwin L021 is a dummy, a fixed lever with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching lever on a hall or closet door, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Bravura Tampa carries square trim, which is the same rose shape as the R017 square rose on the L021.

The Baldwin L021 half dummy is a residential lever. For a commercial corridor or a facility standardizing on ANSI grades, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed cylindrical lever dummy, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy in the 5400 Series. All three are dummy function like the L021, so they mount as pull trim only with no latch.

The Baldwin L021 with R017 rose is a half dummy, meaning a single non-turning lever for one face of the door. When both faces need a lever, a dummy pair is the corresponding item: the Emtek Arts & Crafts leverset is sold as a dummy pair with the Arts & Crafts lever, and the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever is also a dummy pair. Both are dummy function like the Baldwin L021, but supply two levers instead of one, so a French door or a closet pair with hardware on both sides is covered by one order.

Projection is 2.8 inches off the face, with a 4.5 inch lever grip. That matters where the door swings back against a wall or an adjacent cabinet run, and in a tight closet reveal where a long lever can foul the jamb of the door beside it. Measure your clearance before you commit on a bank of closet doors.

One L021 is a half dummy, so it gives you a single lever on one face. Two openings, or a door you want a lever on from both sides, means two of them. If you'd rather buy it as a matched pair in one order, the Emtek Arts & Crafts and Emtek Cortina dummy leversets ship as pairs.

No. It's non-keyed with no cylinder and no keyway, because there is no lock body behind it. If you need to key a closet or a utility door in the same run, that's a keyed cylindrical lock, not a dummy - and it won't visually match unless you buy the same lever and rose in a keyed function.

A dummy won't hold anything shut. For a closet or hall door that needs a working latch with no lock, order a passage set. On the residential side the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton and the Callan Asheville are Grade 3 passage leversets; the Bravura Tampa passage leverset has square trim if you're trying to keep the square-rose look the L021 has. Keep the L021 for doors held by a ball catch.

No. The Baldwin L021 with R017 rose is a half dummy and non-keyed, a surface-mounted lever that does not turn and does not operate a latch. A passage leverset such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 or the Design Hardware J75 Grade 2 flat lever has a working latchbolt that retracts when the lever is turned. They look similar on the door face, but the dummy needs no cross bore latch prep and the passage lock does.

The Baldwin L021 half dummy is non-keyed and has no locking mechanism at all. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both replace a dummy with a functioning privacy lock, which also means the door needs a full cross bore rather than dummy mounting.

The Baldwin L021 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to a maximum of 1.75 inch. For a thicker slab, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 Asylum covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. These are latching functions rather than dummy trim, so the opening needs the corresponding latch prep.

Square. The R017 is a square rose, which is the detail to check if you're mixing it with round-rose hardware elsewhere in the same room - a square rose next to a round one reads as a mistake even when the finish matches. Baldwin pairs it with a clean-lined lever for a contemporary look.

No, not as a direct swap. The Baldwin L021 is a non-keyed half dummy with a 1 inch edge bore and no latch behind it. A keyless lever such as the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lock for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, or the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock all carry a working latch and code entry, so the opening needs full latch prep and the trim footprint differs from dummy trim.

The Baldwin L021 uses the R017 square rose. Among entry functions, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Pairing a keyed entry lever on the active leaf with the L021 half dummy on the inactive one keeps the lever style consistent across the opening.
