Baldwin Reserve Square Non-Turning One-Sided Lever with Contemporary Rose

No latch and no lock. The Reserve Square non-turning lever is a dummy: the lever is fixed, it does not rotate, and there is no latchbolt behind it. It's surface-mounted trim for a closet, pantry or hallway door that's held shut by a ball catch, roller catch or magnet. If you need the door to actually stay closed on its own hardware, you want a passage lever instead, like the Accentra 5301LN Augusta or the Hager 2510.

It's built to sit in the same prep. Baldwin sizes the Reserve dummy to the 2-1/8 inch standard cross bore, with a 1 inch edge bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the same prep as the passage, privacy and entry levers in the line. So if you're pulling a standard bored lockset off a closet door and want the lever look without the function, the existing holes work. Note that the rose is what covers the face of the door, so the rose you pick (5 inch, round or square) decides how much of an oversized or chewed-up bore gets hidden.

Handing does matter on a lever, because a lever points toward the hinge side. The Reserve Square non-turning lever is a one-sided unit, so you're specifying which hand you need for the door it's going on. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, you need the left-hand lever. Order per door, not per pair, since one door takes one lever unless you want trim on both faces.

Baldwin lists the Reserve Square as residential hardware, and no ANSI/BHMA grade is carried on it. For a commercial opening where a spec calls for a graded dummy, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 heavy duty unit, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT at Grade 2. The Baldwin is the right pick for high-end residential, multi-family unit interiors and hospitality guest rooms where appearance drives the choice.

The Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning lever is a one-sided dummy. For an opening that needs a pull on each face, Emtek sells dummy levers as a pair: the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair in the Hammered series, and the Cortina lever dummy pair in the Classic Brass Cortina series are all dummy-function pairs. Ordering a pair covers both faces of a French or closet double door in one line; the Baldwin covers a single face.

The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty dummy trim, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Both perform the same non-turning, non-latching dummy function as the Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning lever, which is a residential dummy leverset. Pick the BEST or Accentra units where a project schedule calls out Grade 1 commercial dummy trim; pick the Baldwin where the Contemporary rose and residential finish range drive the decision.

A dummy such as the Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning lever has no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet door, passage-function leversets include the Bravura Tampa with square trim, Grade 2, if you want to keep a square look; the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando with round trim, both Grade 2; the Callan Asheville, Grade 3 passage; and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever, Grade 3, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. These operate a latchbolt; the Baldwin does not.

A dummy lever like the Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning unit does not latch and is not the part for a rated opening. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever in the CL3100 Series with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door range. Both are the substitution to make when the schedule calls for a rated, latching passage lever.

Three rose shapes: CFR contemporary five inch, CRR contemporary round, and CSR contemporary square. Each one is offered in all six finishes, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 112 Venetian Bronze, 150 Satin Nickel, 190 Satin Black and 260 Polished Chrome, so any rose and finish combination is orderable. The two PVD finishes are the ones to specify where you want the plating to hold up to hands and cleaning products over time.

Stay inside the Reserve Series and pick the same lever style, rose and finish code across the openings. Baldwin builds the Reserve dummy to read identically to the active passage, privacy and entry hardware in the collection, so a closet door with a dummy sits next to a bedroom privacy set with no visible difference. For a property manager standardizing a floor, that means one finish code (say 150 Satin Nickel) and one rose shape carried across every door, with function varying underneath.

Neither. There's no latchbolt, so nothing engages the frame and no strike gets mortised. What you do need is something to hold the door closed, typically a ball catch or roller catch in the door edge or a magnetic catch at the head. Budget that separately, and mortise for it while the door is off. The lever itself mounts through the face of the door in the standard bored prep.

A passage lever has a working latchbolt: turn the lever and the bolt retracts, and the door stays latched into a strike when closed. A dummy has no moving parts at all, so it relies on a catch to hold the door. Use a dummy on doors that swing or fold and are already held by a catch, and on the inactive leaf of a pair. Use a passage set where the door needs to positively latch, like a closet in a corridor that gets bumped. Passage options in the same visual class include the Bravura Tampa with square trim and the Bravura Atlanta with round trim.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the closest straightforward substitute if the Baldwin's finish range and rose options are more than the job needs. On the commercial side, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed unit. Neither carries the Reserve's three-rose, six-finish selection, so if you're matching a decorative package across a house the Baldwin is what keeps the openings consistent.

They read the same from the hall but they are different parts. The Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning lever is a non-keyed dummy that matches the look of an active passage, privacy or entry door within the standard 2-1/8 inch door prep without any lock or latch. A passage unit such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta, Grade 2 passage in the 5300 Series, or the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever, Grade 2 non-keyed passage for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, turns and retracts a latch. On a corridor where some doors latch and some are false or closet fronts, use the passage unit on the latching leaves and the dummy on the rest.

Yes. The Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning lever is a dummy with no locking mechanism. For a bed or bath door, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is Grade 3 privacy for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a fire rated privacy unit with a Tudor knob for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Those give the inside privacy function the dummy cannot.

The Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning lever is non-keyed. Keyed lever alternatives include the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever, Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever in the AG Series with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/4 inch backset; and the Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 entry/office clutching lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin carries a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so a keyed swap in the same prep is straightforward.

The Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning lever is a residential dummy and suits false fronts and closet doors in the same finish family as the rest of the run. For the doors on that run that actually operate, heavy duty passage options include the Falcon T101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release in the T Series, the Design Hardware X75 Grade 1 flat-lever passage lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors in the X Series, and its Grade 2 counterpart, the Design Hardware J75 in the J Series, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. Standardize the operating doors on one of those and use the dummy where no latch is wanted.

No cylinder, no keyway, no way to add one. The Reserve dummy is non-keyed by construction, and there is no bore behind it to accept a cylinder. If the door later needs to be secured, you replace the whole unit with a keyed entry or storeroom lever, not a cylinder swap.

A dummy such as the Baldwin Reserve Square non-turning lever has no operating mechanism at all. For code entry on a bored door, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock in the LP250 Series, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is in the Classic series, and the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is a passage-function ADA compliant unit for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, with a double combination version in the 2835DC. Those are a different scope of work from a dummy trim.
