Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake Full Dummy Handleset with Traditional Rose
Baldwin full Dummy sets have no latch or locking mechanism. Typically dummy sets are used as merely a pull on the inactive side of a double door. This is a dummy "set" so it comes with both the interior and exterior handleset. Pair this with a passage or keyed handleset for a complete double door solution.
FEATURES:
- Tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security

Baldwin FD.CHExROU.TRR.152 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake full dummy handleset actually do, and does it lock?
No latch, no lock, no bolt of any kind. A full dummy set is a fixed pull that mounts to the door face and does not move or retract anything. Baldwin uses it on the inactive leaf of a double door, so people pull the door open by hand rather than operating a latch. Because it is a dummy set rather than a single trim piece, you get both the exterior handleset and the interior knob or lever, so both faces of the door match. Pair it with a passage or keyed handleset on the active leaf to finish a double door.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Baldwin Chesapeake dummy handleset?
Only if you pick a lever for the interior. The Curve, Decorative, and Federal levers are each ordered left hand or right hand, so you have to know which way the door swings before you order. The three knob choices, Ellipse, Round, and Traditional, are non-handed and work either way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, it is a left hand door.
3) How do I match the Chesapeake dummy to the active door so a pair of French doors looks identical?
Match on three axes: finish, interior knob or lever style, and rose. The rose comes as Traditional Arch, Traditional Round, or Traditional Square, and the interior trim runs nine styles across three lever families and three knobs. Spec the dummy with the same three selections you used on the active leaf's passage or keyed handleset, and the two doors read as one set. Getting the rose shape wrong is the mismatch people notice from across a room.
4) What is the difference between a dummy handleset and a passage handleset on a double door?
A passage set has a working latch that holds the door closed and retracts when you turn the handle. A dummy set has neither, so it cannot hold a door shut on its own. On a pair of doors the active leaf gets the passage or keyed set and the inactive leaf gets the dummy, with flush bolts or a surface bolt holding the inactive leaf. Putting a dummy on a door that has to stay latched is the most common mistake with these.
5) I need a handleset that actually locks, not a dummy. What should I be looking at?
The Chesapeake full dummy has no keyed or locking function at all, so it is the wrong part if the door needs to secure. For a keyed entry handleset, the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch. If you want a keypad instead of a key, the Yale Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset is offered in standalone and Wi-Fi versions for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
6) What do I pair with a dummy handleset on the active leaf of a double door?
A dummy set has no latch or locking mechanism, so the active leaf needs a latching or keyed handleset of its own. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function Grade 2 handleset in the J Series for a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which suits an active leaf that does not need a key. If the active leaf is an exterior door that locks, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 in the F Series over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range.
7) Which handlesets look like a dummy pull but actually lock?
Several handlesets share the same exterior look but carry a locking function, so check the function before ordering a pull. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3 entrance-function single cylinder keyed handlesets for 1-3/4 inch doors and ship as exterior only, meaning no interior trim comes with them. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series with an entrance function. The Baldwin Chesapeake full dummy is non-keyed with a dummy function and comes with both the interior and exterior handleset.
8) Is a passage handleset the same thing as a dummy handleset?
No. A dummy set such as the Baldwin Chesapeake full dummy has no latch and no locking mechanism at all, so it is a fixed pull. A passage set retracts a latch. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel is Grade 2 in the JI Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and carries a passage function plus a deadbolt, so it operates and secures the door. Order the dummy only where the leaf stays fixed.
9) What door prep does a Baldwin dummy handleset need, and do I have to bore a full lockset hole?
There is a 1 inch edge bore in the prep. No latch runs through it since a dummy set has no latch, but the mounting hardware follows the standard handleset layout, so this is not a surface-applied pull you can put anywhere on a blank door. If you are converting a leaf that already carries a Baldwin handleset, the existing prep is what you are working with. On a fresh slab, prep it as a handleset opening.
10) Can I get the inside of the handleset in a different finish than the outside?
Yes. By default the interior trim ships in the same finish as the exterior, but split finish is an option you request at order time by naming the two finishes you want. That is how you match an oil-rubbed exterior scheme to a brighter interior hardware package without buying two sets. The finish range is eight: Polished Brass PVD, Satin Brass PVD, Polished Nickel PVD, Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Matte Antique Nickel, Satin Black, and Polished Chrome.
11) Is the Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake handleset rated for a commercial opening?
It is built for residential use, and Baldwin states the Reserve line is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. Grade 2 is the residential and light commercial tier. For a high traffic commercial entrance you want Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical hardware instead. On an office suite, clubhouse, or model home where the look matters more than cycle count, the Reserve line is the right category.
12) What other dummy handlesets could I use instead of the Baldwin Chesapeake?
Emtek's brass mortise entrance handlesets are offered in dummy function across four styles, the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan, which is the closest like-for-like if you want a different look in the same decorative tier. For a lower cost dummy, Weslock has the 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever, both listed at 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness, the same standard range as the Chesapeake. The Weslock sets do not offer the split finish or the nine interior trim choices the Reserve line does.
13) Does the Baldwin Chesapeake dummy come with the inside knob or is that ordered separately?
Both sides are included. It is sold as a set, exterior handleset plus interior trim, so you choose one of nine interior knob or lever styles and one of three rose shapes as part of the same order rather than buying trim on top. What you do not get is any latch or strike, since there is nothing to latch.
14) Are the Emtek Memphis and Hamilton handlesets a drop-in substitute for a Baldwin Chesapeake dummy?
They match on function but not on prep. The Emtek 3002 Memphis and 3004 Hamilton are dummy-function handlesets, so like the Chesapeake full dummy they are pulls with no latch. The difference is the body: both Emtek sets are brass mortise entrance handlesets, while the Chesapeake full dummy is a bored lockset with a 1 inch edge bore. Swapping between them means the door prep changes, so confirm what is already cut in the door before ordering.
15) I want a handleset with a keypad or app control instead of a mechanical dummy. What are my options?
The Chesapeake full dummy is a mechanical non-keyed set with no latch, so it cannot accept an electronic deadbolt. For an electronic opening, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset over a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same handleset for the same range. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever interior trim carries a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt in the Signature Series for a 1-3/4 inch door.
16) What is a simpler traditional-look handleset if I do not need the Reserve trim options?
The Chesapeake full dummy is part of the Reserve Series and is ordered by choosing a rose from Traditional Arch, Traditional Round, or Traditional Square plus an inside knob or lever. If you want a fixed traditional look with fewer choices to make, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, and the Deltana 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann, and 825871 Kingston are solid brass entry-function handlesets. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset comes in a satin nickel finish for a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door. All of these are entry or single cylinder sets rather than dummy pulls.
17) Which handlesets carry a stated ANSI grade if I am standardizing a property?
The Baldwin Chesapeake full dummy is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security and is classified for residential use. Among comparable handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona are both Grade 2, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3. That gives you a consistent Grade 2 tier across a mix of dummy, keyed, and non-keyed openings if you are matching hardware across a set of doors.
