Baldwin 351ATKRDB15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to bore the door for a dummy knob, or does it screw to the face?
The Alcott half dummy mounts to the face of the door, so there is no 2-1/8 inch cross bore to drill. The spec does list a 1 inch edge bore, so if you are working from the Baldwin prep rather than mounting to a blank face, that is the figure to drill to.
2) I need a knob that actually turns and retracts a latch on a closet door, not a dummy. What should I use instead of the Alcott dummy knob?
The Baldwin Prestige Alcott knob is a dummy function, non-keyed, surface mounted on one side only, so it has no latch and will not hold a door closed. For a closet or hall door that needs a working latch, the Schlage D10S is a passage/hall/closet function knob lock in the D Series, Grade 1 and heavy duty, and the Delaney Tulum sandcast knobset is also a passage/hall/closet function. Either turns and retracts a latch; the Alcott dummy is purely a pull.
3) For a commercial corridor or school door, can I spec the Baldwin Alcott dummy knob?
The Baldwin Prestige Alcott is a residential knob in the Prestige Series, traditional design, and its dummy function means no latching at all. For an institutional opening where a BHMA grade is on the drawing, the Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob lock with an Orbit knob in the D Series. Keep the Alcott for closet and cabinet faces where a pull is all that is wanted.
4) The door needs to lock with a key, not just have a knob on it. What takes the place of the Alcott dummy knob?
The Alcott dummy knob is non-keyed with no cylinder and no latch. For a keyed opening, the Kwikset 690T-SMT pairs a keyed entry Tylo knob with a single cylinder deadbolt at Grade 3, the Kwikset CP690P combo pack is keyed one side with a single cylinder deadbolt at Grade 3, and the Kwikset CP992J Juno combo pack is keyed both sides at Grade 2 in the Signature Series. The Weslock 0640 Sonic is an entrance function keyed knob lock in the Traditionale series.
5) What comes in the box with the Baldwin Alcott half dummy knob?
One knob, one round rose, and the mounting hardware. That's the whole kit, there's no latch, strike, spindle or cylinder because nothing passes through the door.
6) Is the Alcott dummy knob handed, or will it work on a left and right hand door?
Reversible. The same knob works on either hand of door, so you don't specify handing when ordering, and one part number covers both sides of a double closet door if you buy two.
7) I need a dummy knob to match the other knobs on my doors. Will the Alcott round rose look right?
The Alcott is a traditional-style knob on a round rose in the Baldwin Prestige Series, so it matches other Prestige Alcott knobsets on the same round rose. If your existing knobs are on square or oval roses, or from a different Baldwin collection, the rose shape won't line up visually even though the knob will mount fine.
8) Will a half dummy knob work on a pair of French doors where one leaf doesn't open?
Yes, that's the usual use. A half dummy gives you a pull on the inactive leaf with nothing on the back face and no latch mechanism, and it's reversible so the same part fits whichever leaf is fixed. Order one per face you want a knob on.
9) Is the Sargent 78-2875 knob a substitute for the Baldwin Alcott dummy knob?
They are different animals. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design, part of the 7800 Series, meant to replace or complete a trim on a Sargent 7800 lock chassis. The Baldwin Prestige Alcott is a complete half dummy assembly with knob, round rose and mounting hardware that surface mounts to the door face with nothing behind it. Use the Sargent part only if you are servicing a 7800 Series lock.
10) Double doors, one active and one inactive. What combination do I order?
Use a dummy on the inactive leaf and a latching set on the active leaf. The Baldwin Prestige Alcott half dummy supplies one knob, one rose and mounting hardware for the inactive side and needs only a 1 inch edge bore area prep rather than a full chassis bore. On the active leaf, a passage function such as the Delaney Tulum sandcast knobset or the Schlage D10S passage latch will retract a latch and keep the leaf closed.
11) Is there a traditional-styled knob besides the Baldwin Alcott if the door needs a working lock?
Yes. The Baldwin Prestige Alcott is a traditional design dummy knob with a round rose. If the same opening needs to lock, the Weslock 0640 Sonic keyed entry knob lock sits in the Traditionale series and is an entrance function, and the Delaney Tulum sandcast knobset offers a passage function in the Tulum series. Styling differs by maker, so check rose shape against the other doors in the run.
