Baldwin Reserve Longview Full Dummy Entry Handleset with Interior Egress Options
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
- Interior comes in same finish as exterior. If split finish is desired, please spicfy the desired finishes.
- Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty and Limited 25 Year Finish Warranty

Baldwin FD.LONXRUS.RAE.481 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Reserve Longview full dummy handleset have a working latch, or is it just a pull?
No latch and no locking mechanism at all. The Longview full dummy is a pull only, both sides. It's the set you put on the inactive leaf of a double door so the exterior grip and interior lever or knob match the active leaf, while the active leaf carries a passage or keyed handleset that actually latches. If you need something that holds the door shut, this is the wrong function.
2) Does the Longview dummy handleset come with both the exterior handle and the interior trim, or only the outside?
Both. It ships as a set, exterior handleset plus interior trim, so you are not buying the inside half separately. You pick the interior style at order time: a rustic knob, or an arch or taper lever. Compare that with something like the Kwikset 687AMD Amador, which we sell as an exterior-only handleset and needs interior trim ordered alongside it.
3) My door is 1-3/8 inches thick. Will the Baldwin Longview handleset work?
Not without going elsewhere. The Longview starts at 1-3/4 inches, and the thick door kit goes the other direction, up to 2-1/2. For a 1-3/8 inch leaf look at the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy or the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy, both rated 1-3/8 to 2 inches. If the opening needs a keyed handleset rather than a dummy, the Schlage F60 Addison and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington also cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Baldwin Longview dummy handleset?
Handing matters on the lever versions. Both the arch lever (ARC) and the taper lever (TAP) are ordered as left handed or right handed, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side the lever sits before you order. The rustic knob (RUS) has no handing to call out. Since a dummy has no latch, the handing here is purely about which direction the lever throws to look and feel right.
5) I need a matching pair for a double entry door. What do I order alongside the Longview dummy?
The dummy goes on the inactive leaf and a passage or keyed handleset goes on the active leaf. Order both from the same Baldwin Reserve collection, in the same finish and same interior trim style, so the two leaves read as one opening. Get the finish code matched exactly (481 Dark Bronze or 492 White Bronze) since bronze finishes vary between collections.
6) The Baldwin Longview dummy will not lock my door - what handleset should I order for the active leaf instead?
The Baldwin Reserve Longview is non-keyed dummy trim with no latch, so it is only a pull. For the leaf that has to lock, a keyed handleset is what you want: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with an Accent lever, Grade 2, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, which is the range to look at on a thicker slab. Baldwin's own guidance is to pair a full dummy with a passage or keyed handleset for a complete double door.
7) I need a non-locking handleset for the active door, not a dummy - is there one?
Yes, and it is a different function from the Baldwin Reserve Longview. The Longview is a full dummy, so it has no latch at all and cannot hold a door closed. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function handleset in the J Series, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - it operates a latch without a key. Use the dummy where the leaf is held by flush bolts, and a non-keyed latching handleset where the door has to latch on its own.
8) Are the Kwikset 687 Amador and Belleview handlesets a substitute for the Baldwin Longview dummy set?
No. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are single cylinder keyed entry handlesets supplied exterior only, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors - there is no interior trim in the box. The Baldwin Reserve Longview is a dummy set that includes both the interior and exterior handleset, and the interior side is what you are choosing when you pick the lever or knob style and the egress rose. If you order a 687 expecting a matched pair on both faces of the door, the inside face will still be bare.
9) What size hole does the Baldwin Longview handleset need in the door edge?
One inch edge bore. That's what you drill into the edge of the leaf for this handleset. On a dummy there is no latch running in that bore, but the prep is still part of the installation, so if you are re-using an existing door check the edge bore before ordering.
10) Can I get the Baldwin Longview with a different finish inside than outside?
Yes. By default the interior trim ships in the same finish as the exterior. If you want a split finish, say a dark bronze exterior with a different interior to match the room, you enter the two finishes you want in the split finish field on the order. The catalog finishes are 481 Dark Bronze and 492 White Bronze.
11) Is the Baldwin Reserve Longview handleset rated for commercial use?
It's a residential handleset. Baldwin states the Reserve line is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security, which is solid for a house or a high-end multifamily entry, but the product is catalogued for residential service and a dummy has no latch or bolt to secure anything regardless. For a commercial opening under a hardware schedule you want a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock, not a residential handleset.
12) What else can I use instead of the Baldwin Longview if I need a dummy handleset?
A few we carry. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy with Impresa knob both list a wider 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, so they cover thinner doors the Baldwin needs a service kit for. On the brass side, Emtek's mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function include the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan, which run more traditional and contemporary than the Longview's rustic styling.
13) Does the Baldwin Longview handleset take a key or come keyed alike with my other doors?
It takes no key at all. There's no cylinder in a full dummy, so it can't be keyed, rekeyed, or brought into a keyed-alike system. If you are standardizing keying across a property, the dummy leaf simply drops out of that plan and only your keyed handlesets get suited together.
14) If I want a keypad or smart entry instead of the Baldwin Longview dummy handleset, what handlesets do that?
The Baldwin Reserve Longview is non-keyed with no locking mechanism, so it does not accept a cylinder or an electronic deadbolt. For electronic entry with handleset trim, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim.
15) I want a dummy handleset with a knob inside instead of a lever - what are my options?
The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset pairs with an Impresa knob and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Baldwin Reserve Longview also offers a knob interior, the RUS rustic knob, alongside its arch and taper lever trims, and its interior egress rose is chosen as either RAE rustic arched or SBE square bevel. The Baldwin route gives you the knob within a rustic design family; the Weslock 6695 is a knob dummy in the Elegance Series.
16) What is the difference between the Baldwin Reserve Longview dummy handleset and the Emtek Memphis 3002?
Both are dummy function handlesets, so neither latches or locks. The Emtek 3002 Memphis is a brass mortise entrance handleset in dummy function, part of Emtek's Memphis series. The Baldwin Reserve Longview is a bored lockset style full dummy with a 1 inch edge bore, and it is ordered with the interior trim style and interior egress rose specified separately - arch lever, taper lever or rustic knob, with a rustic arched or square bevel rose. Emtek offers the same dummy function across several series designs, including the 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan.
17) How does the Baldwin Reserve Longview compare on security grade to other residential handlesets?
The Baldwin Reserve Longview is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security and is a residential product. Among comparable handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona are Grade 2, and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, while the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3. Keep in mind the Longview carries no latch or lock, so its grade describes the trim's construction rather than any locking resistance.
18) Is an interconnected lock a substitute for a dummy handleset on a double door?
No. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - it latches and bolts, and it is bored for a lever, not for handleset trim. The Baldwin Reserve Longview is a full dummy handleset with a 1 inch edge bore and no latch or locking mechanism, surface mounted as a pull on the inactive leaf. They serve opposite ends of the opening.
19) What is a simpler single cylinder handleset if I do not need the Baldwin Reserve trim options?
The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch in the Premiere Essentials line, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in satin nickel for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are ordered as a single configuration rather than the Baldwin Reserve Longview's build, where finish, interior lever or knob style, interior egress rose and door thickness are each selected. Note both Weslock and Pamex options are keyed entry, not the dummy function the Longview provides.
20) What is the difference between the RAE and SBE rose on the Baldwin Reserve interior trim?
Both are interior egress roses, so the inside plate is shaped to work as the egress side of the opening. RAE is the Rustic Arched profile, SBE is the Square Bevel. It's a shape choice: arched softens into a rustic or traditional door, square bevel reads cleaner and lines up better with square backplates elsewhere in the house. Either rose pairs with any of the three interior trim styles and both finishes.
21) Which handlesets are solid brass if I am matching the Baldwin Reserve Longview's rustic look with a different brand?
Deltana's handlesets are the solid brass line in the comparable range: the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry function handlesets, and the 810871 Montego fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are entry function with a latch, so they are a different function from the Baldwin Reserve Longview, which is a rustic design full dummy with no latch. Use a Deltana for the operating leaf and the Longview where you only need a matched pull.
