Baldwin Reserve Tube Non-Turning One-Sided (Half Dummy) Contemporary Leverset

It's a dummy, so there is no latch and no lock. The lever is fixed and does not turn. It mounts on one face of the door only and serves as a pull on closet, pantry, or hallway doors that are held by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch instead of a latchbolt. If you need the door to stay shut on its own hardware, order a passage lever instead.

It installs into the same 2-1/8 inch standard door prep used by an active lockset, with a 1 inch edge bore, so it drops onto a door already bored for a passage, privacy, or entry lock without patching. That's the point of it: the dummy side matches the look of the working hardware on the rest of the doors.

The Baldwin Reserve Tube Contemporary leverset is a one-sided half dummy, so it covers a single face only. For a double-sided application, Emtek sells dummy pairs such as the Arts & Crafts Lever dummy pair, the Hammered Lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina Lever dummy pair, each supplied as a pair with dummy function.

The Baldwin Reserve Tube non-turning lever has no latch, so if the door must latch closed you need a passage set. Residential-style options include the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever, which lists a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. For a commercial passage set, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is Grade 2 passage and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

A single-sided dummy lever has no latch mechanism, so nothing about the function is handed. The lever does have a directional shape, though, so mount it pointing toward the opening edge of the door to match the levers on your other openings. Which face it goes on is your decision at install, not an order option.

Three contemporary rose styles: CRR round, CSR square, and CFR five inch. Each is offered 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 that matches the active locksets already on the job so the closet doors read the same as the rest.

Functionally they line up: the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series with dummy function, and the Baldwin Reserve Tube is a non-turning one-sided dummy lever. The difference is positioning and trim - the Accentra is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial dummy with Augusta trim, while the Baldwin is a residential Reserve Series lever offered with Contemporary Five Inch, Round, and Square roses.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and is a simpler option when the opening only needs a pull on one face. The Baldwin Reserve Tube half dummy is a residential Reserve Series lever in a Contemporary design with a choice of finishes including Satin Brass PVD, Polished Nickel PVD, Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Black, and Polished Chrome, which is where the two differ most.

Only if the door needs to latch. The Kwikset 200DL Delta is a passage door lock supplied with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike, so it requires a latch bore and strike prep in the frame. The Baldwin Reserve Tube half dummy is non-keyed dummy trim with no latch, mounting into the 2-1/8 inch standard door prep without any frame work.

Keyed and keypad levers are not interchangeable with it. The Baldwin Reserve Tube one-sided lever is non-keyed dummy trim that does not turn or retract anything. Sets like the Emtek Classic Keypad Leverset, the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever all carry access-control mechanisms and latching hardware, so they need latch and strike prep the dummy does not.

The Baldwin Reserve Tube half dummy has no locking mechanism at all, so a function change means a different set. For privacy, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For entry, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset.

Within lever dummies, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy from the 5400 Series, and the BEST 7KC 1DT is a Grade 2 single dummy trim. All are single-sided dummy trim like the Baldwin; the difference is lever shape, rose, and duty rating rather than function.

The Baldwin Reserve Tube half dummy is offered with a Contemporary Square Rose as well as Round and Five Inch roses, so you can carry one rose shape through the suite. If some of those doors need a latching passage set, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, while the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Miramar are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim.
