Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Full Dummy Knob Set with Contemporary Rose

A full dummy set is non-functional trim: the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary dummy knob has no latch and no lock, so the knob does not turn to retract anything. Use it on doors that don't need to latch, like a closet door held by a ball catch, one leaf of a French pair, or a false/inactive door where you still want the knob to match the rest of the openings. If the door has to stay shut on a latch, you need a passage function instead, such as the Dexter C2000 passage knob or the Arrow MK01.

Full dummy means both sides are trimmed, so you get a knob and rose for each face of the door. Single dummy products cover one side only, for example the Schlage A170 single dummy trim or the Omnia 442/00 single dummy knob. If you're only dressing the inactive face of one leaf, a single dummy is the cheaper way to do it.

Yes. It's built to mount within the standard 2-1/8 inch cylindrical door prep with a 1 inch edge bore, so it drops onto a door already bored for a passage, privacy or entry lock and reads the same as the active doors around it. That makes it a clean swap when you're converting a door that no longer needs to latch.

For another two-sided dummy in a knob, the Emtek Arts & Crafts Hammered Egg knobset is sold as a dummy pair, as are the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal knobsets in the Georgetown and Providence knobs. All are dummy function with no latch, the same as the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary full dummy; the difference is the knob styling, with Baldwin offering a contemporary knob on a five inch, round, or square contemporary rose.

A dummy knob has no latch at all, so for a door that must stay closed you need a passage set. Comparable non-keyed passage knobs include the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob supplied with a 6AL latch and round corner strike.

The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary full dummy is a residential knob set and carries no ANSI grade. Where a graded commercial knob is required, the Sargent 8XG04 is Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with fire rating and an interchangeable core.

Three Contemporary rose styles: Round (CRR), Square (CSR), and the Five Inch (CFR) long rose. Each comes in six finishes, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 112 Venetian Bronze, 150 Satin Nickel, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. Pick the rose shape and finish that matches the active locksets already on your other doors so the dummy disappears into the set.

Yes. There are optional split rose and split finish fields on the order, so you can specify one rose shape or finish on the interior face and another on the exterior. Useful when a door faces two rooms with different hardware schemes. Leave them blank and both sides ship matched.

It's a residential product in Baldwin's Reserve line, intended for home interiors. For a commercial corridor or an institutional facility that needs a graded dummy, look at the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim (Grade 2) or the Schlage A170 single dummy trim (Grade 2, heavy duty).

The dummy set gives you no latching at all, so the door needs separate hardware to stay shut, typically a roller or ball catch, a magnetic catch, or a surface bolt on a French pair. None of that is part of the knob set. If you would rather solve it with one product, a passage latchset such as the Omnia 434/PA or the Pamex FTF passage knob gives you a latch plus matching trim.

The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary full dummy is non-keyed with no lock function, so bedroom and bath or exterior doors need separate sets. Comparable functions in knob form include the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office keyed knob, both for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob lock.

For a plainer dummy knob, the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA series rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, and the Omnia 434/0 is an egg-shaped single dummy in solid brass. The Baldwin set differs in being a contemporary knob offered on three rose shapes and six finishes.

Passage knobsets such as the Arrow MK01 and RK01 Grade 2 non-keyed passage knobs, or the Pamex FTF Grade 3 passage lockset, are built around a latch chassis and are not interchangeable with dummy trim. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary full dummy mounts within the standard 2-1/8 inch door prep with a 1 inch edge bore and provides no latch function, which is what a fixed pull on a closet or french door pair calls for.

No handing to specify here. With no latch and no keyway, the Contemporary full dummy set mounts the same on a left or right hand door, inswing or outswing. Your only real decisions are rose shape, finish, and door thickness.
