Baldwin Reserve Federal Non-Turning One-Sided Dummy Lever with Traditional Rose

It's just a handle. The Federal dummy lever is non-turning and one-sided, with no latch and no lock behind it. You mount it as a pull on a closet, hallway, or other interior door that doesn't need to latch. If the door has to stay shut, you need a passage set with a real latchbolt instead, not this.

It goes into the same 2-1/8 inch standard door prep as an active lockset, so it lands on the existing bore rather than making you patch and redrill. That's the point of it: same look and rose as the passage, privacy, or entry sets on the neighbouring doors, without the latch.

It's a residential lever, non-keyed, with no latch. For commercial corridors and rated openings, look at Grade 1 dummy trim like the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, or the Grade 2 BEST 7KC Series 1DT for medium duty work. Those are the heavy duty equivalents in the same single dummy function.

A dummy has nothing holding the door, so it will drift. For a closet or hall door that needs to stay shut but never lock, use a passage set with a latchbolt: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 or 4601LN in Grade 2, or the Falcon K101 in Grade 1 with a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Keep the dummy for the inactive leaf of a pair, where a magnetic or roller catch does the holding.

No. The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a dummy function lever - it does not turn and there is no latch behind it, so it cannot hold a door closed. A passage lever such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock turns and retracts a latchbolt, so it keeps the door latched without locking it. If the door must stay shut on its own, a passage set is the function to order; the Federal dummy suits a door held by a ball catch, a roller catch or a magnetic catch, or an inactive leaf.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a non-turning one-sided dummy lever with a traditional rose, catalogued for residential use. For a Grade 1 commercial-rated single dummy lever, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock. Both are single-sided dummy trim like the Federal, so the door prep and the use case - a closet, hallway or inactive leaf that needs a pull, not a latch - are the same. The difference is the Federal is a residential decorative program with eight finishes and three traditional rose shapes, while the 455LN and 9K 1DT are specified as commercial Grade 1 trim.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a one-sided non-turning dummy lever, so one order covers one face of the door. When a French pair or a double door needs a handle on each face, Emtek supplies dummy levers as pairs: the Arts and Crafts Lever dummy pair, the Hammered Lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina Lever dummy pair are all dummy function sets sold as a pair. Ordering a pair covers both faces of a single leaf, or one face each on two leaves.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a dummy lever with no latch and no locking function, so it is not the trim for an opening that has to latch or be secured. For a rated commercial corridor door that only needs push-pull operation, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage cylindrical lever with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lever. Where the door must lock, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1 keyed classroom function. The Federal belongs on interior closet, hallway and inactive doors that need no locking mechanism.

Three traditional rose shapes: Traditional Arch (TAR), Traditional Round (TRR), and Traditional Square (TSR). Each comes in eight finishes: 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. Match the rose shape to the active sets already on the other doors, that's what makes a hallway look consistent.

Two singles will do it, or go to a set that's sold as a pair. Emtek's Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair and the Arts and Crafts and Hammered lever dummy pairs are all supplied as pairs for that job. Callan's Bentley is another Grade 2 dummy lever if you want a plainer profile.

No. There's no cylinder and no keyway in it, and no way to add one. Once a door needs keying, you're changing the whole set out for a keyed entry or storeroom lock, not adapting the dummy.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal mounts within the standard 2.125 inch door preparation and carries a 1 inch edge bore, so it drops onto a door already bored for a lockset without a different prep. It has no latch, so the edge prep is not doing any work. Levers that do latch need their own edge prep sized to the set: the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and the Design Hardware J75 Grade 2 passage lever is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. That is the practical difference when a dummy is being swapped onto a door that previously carried a latching lever.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal dummy is non-keyed with a traditional design, so on a run of interior doors it usually sits alongside working sets in the same styling. Within a single manufacturer program, the Accentra Augusta trim spans a 5400 Series Grade 1 single dummy and a 5300 Series Grade 2 passage/closet lever, so the dummy and the latching door carry the same lever shape. Bravura runs its Round Trim passage leversets across the Miramar, Atlanta and Orlando series and a Square Trim passage in the Tampa series, which is the same round-versus-square rose choice the Federal offers in its Traditional Arch, Round and Square roses.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is non-keyed dummy trim with no access control of any kind. Where the opening needs coded entry, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant with passage function and fits 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination fits 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those are working locks; the Federal is a fixed pull.

The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a residential dummy lever for interior closet and hallway doors. Comparable residential-grade interior levers include the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set, a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville, a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Those two turn and latch; the Federal does not, so the choice comes down to whether the door needs to stay shut on a latch or just needs a handle to pull it.

No. The Baldwin Reserve Federal is a non-turning dummy lever on a traditional rose for interior doors, not trim for an exit device. Exit device lever trim is a different part: the Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in entry function from the ED-500 Series. Those mount to a device chassis; the Federal mounts to a bored door.
