Baldwin L029 GRAMERCY LEVER WITH R017 ROSE- Right Hand HALF DUMMY

A half dummy is a single lever on a rose, mounted to the door face only. There is no latch, no spindle through the door, and no locking. The Baldwin L029 Gramercy half dummy is non-keyed with a dummy function, so it is a pull for a closet door, a French door pair, or a fixed inactive leaf. If you need the door to latch shut, you want a passage lock instead, not this.

The Gramercy L029 dummy trim mounts to the door face and does not need the 2-1/8 inch cross bore that a working lock needs. It will, however, cover that prep cleanly if the hole is already there, which is what makes it the usual choice when a lock is being removed and only a pull is wanted. The related Baldwin sets in this family are built around the 2.125 inch standard door preparation, so the rose diameter suits that opening.

A dummy lever is a single fixed handle, so the direction it points is fixed at the factory and cannot be swapped in the field the way a working lockset's lever can. Order the right hand version when the lever should point to the right as you face the door, and choose the opposite hand for a door swinging the other way. On a pair of doors, buy one of each so the levers mirror.

Yes on both. The L029 Gramercy set is rated from a 1.375 inch minimum to a 1.75 inch maximum door thickness, which covers standard interior doors at 1-3/8 inches and typical 1-3/4 inch doors. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches is outside the range.

It's a residential lever, not a commercial-graded one. For a commercial opening where the trim has to hold up to traffic and meet a spec, a Grade 1 dummy such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, or the Grade 2 BEST 7KC Series 1DT, is the right shelf. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy option. The Gramercy suits homes, condo units, and residential-style multi-family interiors.

One half dummy covers one face of one door. For a pair of French doors you need two, and for a door needing a lever on each face you need two as well, ordered in opposite hands so they mirror. If you would rather buy it as a set, Emtek sells its dummy leversets as pairs, including the Arts and Crafts lever and the Cortina lever in the Classic Brass line.

The Baldwin L029 Gramercy with R017 rose is a half dummy specified for residential use. Where a commercial dummy trim is wanted, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim lever. Both are dummy function like the Gramercy, so the door still has no latch or locking action - the difference is the ANSI grade and duty level behind the trim.

A half dummy such as the Baldwin L029 Gramercy has no latch at all, so it cannot hold a door closed. For a latching non-locking opening, residential-style choices include the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Tampa passage leverset with square trim, Grade 2. On the commercial side, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock, fire rated, for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin L029 Gramercy half dummy is rated for doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker leaves, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function Grade 1 lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch.

Projection is 2.53 inches off the face of the door, with a 4.625 inch lever grip length. Those two numbers matter on a closet or pantry door in a tight hall, and where a door swings back against a wall or an adjacent leaf, since the lever is what hits first.

The Gramercy lever rides on the R017 rose, which is a square rose shape, and the family is built to the 2-3/8 inch backset and 2.125 inch bore prep used across the working sets in the same line. Ordering the dummy in the same finish code as your passage and privacy sets is what keeps a hallway consistent. The lever itself is a contemporary flat profile, so it will not read the same next to a heavily ornate Baldwin lever.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and is the simpler option when the look does not have to match a Baldwin suite. If the rest of the doors are already on commercial trim, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy is the Grade 2 equivalent in that family. The Gramercy's draw is the finish range and the square R017 rose matching other Baldwin trim in the same house.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and covers the same job as the Baldwin L029 Gramercy half dummy - fixed decorative trim with no latching or locking function. The Gramercy is offered in eight finishes including satin brass, polished nickel, graphite nickel, oil rubbed bronze, satin black, and polished chrome, with a square rose, which is generally the deciding factor when matching existing trim.

A dummy such as the Baldwin L029 Gramercy is non-keyed with no locking feature. For a privacy bed or bath door, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for the same thickness range.

Eight: 044 Satin Brass, 055 Polished Nickel, 056 Satin Nickel, 076 Graphite Nickel, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. Use the same numeric code across the dummy, passage and privacy sets on a project so the doors match; Baldwin's codes are consistent across trim styles.

1 inch edge bore, matching the standard latch prep in the door edge. The half dummy itself does not use a latch, but the 1 inch figure tells you the set is dimensioned to the same prep as the working locks in the line, so a door already drilled for a Gramercy passage set takes this dummy without new boring.
