Baldwin HDARCRARR481 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin Reserve dummy lever cover the existing 2-1/8 inch bore hole in my door?
Yes. It mounts to the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, so it lines up visually with the active passage, privacy or entry sets on the rest of the doors without any different boring. The edge bore is 1 inch and it works with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard residential backsets.
2) Why do I have to pick left hand or right hand on a dummy lever?
Because the lever is shaped and set for one side of the door. Handing on the Reserve Arch is the direction the lever points, so order left hand for a door where the lever swings to the left and right hand for the opposite. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way, and since it is one-sided trim there is no flipping it. Both handings are offered in each finish and both rose styles.
3) Does this Baldwin dummy lever come as a pair for a double door, or one side only?
One side only. It is a single-sided dummy, so for a pair of French or double doors you order two, one left hand and one right hand. If you want a set supplied as a pair out of the box, the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Emtek Cortina dummy levers are sold as dummy pairs.
4) The door actually latches - what do I use instead of the Baldwin Reserve Arch dummy lever?
The Baldwin Reserve Arch non-turning lever has no latch at all, so if the door needs to hold shut you want a passage lever. Residential-weight options include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever, Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, or the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset. For commercial doors, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated passage lock for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
5) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Baldwin Reserve Arch non-turning one-sided lever for a high-traffic dummy door?
The Baldwin Reserve Arch non-turning lever is a residential dummy leverset, so for institutional traffic look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, or the Accentra 455LN Augusta, a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Both give the same non-turning single-sided pull look with a commercial ANSI/BHMA grade behind it.
6) I need a dummy lever for both sides of a double closet door - what should I order instead of a one-sided Baldwin Reserve Arch?
The Baldwin Reserve Arch non-turning lever is a one-sided dummy, so a pair of doors needs two. If you want a matched set supplied as a pair, Emtek sells dummy pairs in the Arts and Crafts lever, the Hammered lever, and the Cortina lever from the Classic Brass line.
7) What finishes and rose shapes does the Baldwin Reserve Arch rustic lever come in?
Two finishes, 481 Dark Bronze and 492 White Bronze, each on either the RAR Rustic Arch Rose or the RSR Rustic Square Rose. All four combinations are available in both handings. The rustic roses have a forged, textured look, so match the rose shape to whatever is already on your active sets if you want the openings to read as one suite.
8) I need the closet doors to match but one of them has to actually open and close with the lever. What do I order?
The Reserve Arch dummy has no working latch, so on the door that needs to operate you need a passage function set, not this one. This dummy is made to match the appearance of an active passage, privacy or entry Baldwin Reserve set on the neighboring doors, so run passage sets where the lever must work and dummies where it does not. Hold the same finish and rose across all of them.
9) What is a lower-cost dummy lever if the Baldwin Reserve is more than the job needs?
For a plain interior dummy, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. If the door only needs to be pushed open and a fixed lever is not required, a Grade 3 passage set such as the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton, which fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, does the job with a working latch. The Baldwin Reserve Arch is a decorative rustic residential trim, so you are paying for the forged look and finish rather than any added function.
10) Will a passage leverset work as a dummy on a closet door instead of the Baldwin Reserve Arch?
It will operate, but it is not the same part. A passage lever such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 or the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra passage lock has a working latchbolt and a turning lever on both faces. The Baldwin Reserve Arch non-turning lever is fixed, single-sided, and installs in the 2-1/8 inch standard bore without a latch, so if the door is held by a ball catch or roller catch the dummy is the correct choice.
11) I need a privacy lever for a bathroom, not the Baldwin Reserve Arch dummy - what are the options?
The Baldwin Reserve Arch non-turning lever is non-keyed and has no locking mechanism, so it will not serve a bath or bedroom. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
12) Can the Baldwin Reserve Arch dummy lever be keyed or added to my key system?
No. It is non-keyed with no cylinder and no keyway, because there is nothing to lock. If you need a keyed opening in the same Reserve look, specify an entry function set rather than this trim.
13) What matches the rustic look of the Baldwin Reserve Arch dummy lever if I need a keyed or coded function on the same door group?
The Baldwin Reserve Arch dummy carries a rustic design in 481 Dark Bronze and 492 White Bronze. For decorative keyed levers on the surrounding doors, Deltana offers entry levers in the Claremont, Manchester, Morant, and Linstead designs, with the Manchester, Morant, and Linstead covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Emtek also offers a Classic keypad leverset if you want a coded opening in a decorative line.
