Baldwin Reserve Federal Full Dummy Leverset with Traditional Rose

Yes, that's the usual application. Since the Federal dummy has no latch or spindle to drive, it only needs fasteners into the door face, and the Reserve dummy is built to the same 2.125 inch cross bore prep as the active locksets. On an inactive French door or closet slab you'd typically pair it with a ball catch or roller catch to hold the door closed, since the dummy itself does nothing to keep the door shut.

Full dummy means trim on both sides of the door, unlike a single dummy which is one side only. If you only need one face dressed, for instance the pull side of a closet, a single dummy such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim or the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy is the trim to specify instead.

A dummy has no latch, so it will not hold a door shut. For a door that needs to latch but not lock, order a passage set: options include the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando round trim passage leversets, or the Bravura Tampa with square trim. If it's a bedroom or bath, a privacy set like the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors is the correct function.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a residential dummy leverset with no latch, and a fire door assembly relies on a latching device. Where a fire rating is required, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a residential dummy leverset, so on a commercial opening the direct functional swap is a Grade 1 dummy trim such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock, which is heavy duty and non-keyed, or the Accentra 455LN Augusta heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock. Both carry the same dummy function - a fixed lever with no latch - in a heavy duty commercial build rather than a residential one.

The Federal full dummy has no lock or latch, so a door that needs a working latch takes a passage lever instead. Residential-style options include the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset. For heavier traffic, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, fire rated, covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors.

A dummy lever cannot lock anything, so a bath or bedroom door takes a privacy set. The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT 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 cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

One inch. That's the standard residential edge bore, so on a door already drilled for a typical cylindrical lockset the hole pattern lines up. The dummy trim itself doesn't use the edge bore for a latch, but it matters when you're matching this lever to active Reserve sets on the rest of the doors and want one consistent prep across the job.

Three traditional rose shapes, each offered in all eight finishes: Traditional Arch Rose (TAR), Traditional Round Rose (TRR) and Traditional Square Rose (TSR). The finishes are 003 Polished Brass PVD, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 112 Venetian Bronze, 150 Satin Nickel, 152 Matte Antique Nickel, 190 Satin Black and 260 Polished Chrome. Pick the rose that matches the active sets already on the other doors, since the rose shape is what reads visually from across a room.

Yes. Split finish and split rose are both available as options at the time of order, so a lever facing a bronze hallway and a nickel bedroom can carry the correct finish on each face, and the rose shape can differ side to side as well. Note both in the order text fields with the finish or rose you want on each side.

If you want a matched decorative dummy pair from another line, Emtek offers dummy pairs in Cast Stainless Steel with the Athena and Helios levers, and in the Arts and Crafts line with the Arts and Crafts and Hammered levers. Those are pair sets like the Baldwin full dummy. The difference from the Federal is styling and material family, not function; all of them are fixed trim with no latch.

It's part of Baldwin's Reserve Series with a traditional design lever, and its whole purpose is matching: it reproduces the look of an active passage, privacy or entry door in the same trim without the working lock. Order it in the same finish code and same rose shape as the active Reserve sets on the other doors and the openings read identically.

They share the dummy function but not the configuration. The Emtek Arts and Crafts, Hammered, Athena and Helios dummy leversets are all sold as pairs, meaning trim for both faces of the door. The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a full dummy leverset with a traditional rose, offered with the Traditional Arch, Traditional Round or Traditional Square rose. Confirm whether the opening needs one face or two before swapping between them.

A keyed or keypad lever is not a dummy substitute even when the trim looks similar. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function. Both operate a latch and carry access control hardware; the Baldwin Reserve Federal is non-keyed with no latch, so the door prep and the intent behind the two are different.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a non-keyed dummy - the lever is fixed and there is no latch behind it. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa are Grade 2 passage leversets, which turn and retract a latch. Bravura offers round trim on the Atlanta and Orlando and square trim on the Tampa; the Federal comes with Traditional Arch, Traditional Round or Traditional Square rose.

Handing on a dummy is about lever direction, not internal function, since there is no latch to reverse. The Federal lever points a set direction, so on a pair of doors or two doors framing an opening you generally want the levers mirrored. Order the quantity and direction to suit the openings rather than assuming one part covers both leaves.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a traditional design dummy leverset for residential interiors. For the doors in the same run that need function, entry options include the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry and the Deltana 6431 Linstead lever entry, both covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Callan Artino Grade 3 entrance leverset. Match the dummy to those on the closet and non-latching doors.
