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

No latch, no bolt, no moving mechanism. The Curve dummy lever is a fixed pull that doesn't turn. It goes on closet, pantry, hallway and other interior doors that don't need to latch or lock, where you still want a lever to grab. If the door needs to stay shut, you need a passage set instead, not a dummy.

Yes, and get it right. The Curve dummy comes left hand or right hand, and because the lever is fixed you can't flip it in the field the way you can with a non-handed passage lever. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's left hand, hinges on the right it's right hand. Order the two-door closet openings as a matched pair, one of each.

It mounts to the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, the same prep an active passage, privacy or entry lockset uses. That means you can put a dummy on one door and a working lockset on the next and drill both the same way, or drop a dummy into an opening where a lockset used to live without patching the door.

One side only. Each Baldwin Curve dummy is a one-sided trim, so a double closet or a pair of French doors takes two, one left hand and one right hand. For a factory-packed dummy pair instead, the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever and the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Hammered levers all ship as dummy pairs.

Baldwin Reserve is residential hardware, so it suits single-family homes, condo interiors and finished residential units rather than commercial traffic. For commercial dummy trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is Grade 2 medium duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy lever.

Yes, wrong function. A dummy has no latchbolt at all, so the door swings free unless a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch holds it. If you want a latch that holds the door and turns to open, order a passage set: the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset, the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa are Grade 2 passage leversets, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Classic Brass Cortina dummy leverset is the nearest match in character - it is a dummy-function lever in a decorative brass line, though Emtek supplies the Cortina dummy as a pair rather than as a single one-sided trim. The Baldwin Reserve Curve is a non-turning one-sided dummy, so one Baldwin part dresses one face of the door. If the opening needs both faces dressed, the Cortina pair covers it in a single order; if only one face is exposed, the Baldwin single is the direct answer.

The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty version of the same single dummy trim. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, from the 5400 Series. The Baldwin Reserve Curve is a residential Reserve Series lever with traditional rose styling, so where a specifier is calling for an ANSI grade on the dummy trim, the BEST or Accentra parts answer that; where the door is an interior closet or hallway in a residential setting, the Baldwin is built for that use.

A dummy lever does not latch - the Baldwin Reserve Curve is a non-turning one-sided trim with no lock or latch inside the 2-1/8 inch standard door prep. For a closet or hall door that has to latch, the passage-function levers cover it: the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset, the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. All of those turn and retract a latch; the Baldwin does neither.

Three traditional roses: arch (TAR), round (TRR) and square (TSR). Pick the one that matches the roses already on the active locksets in the room, since the whole point of a dummy is that the closet door reads the same as the doors beside it. Square roses tend to suit flat-panel and transitional millwork, round and arch the older casing profiles.

Eight finishes: Polished Brass PVD (003), Satin Brass PVD (044), Polished Nickel PVD (055), Venetian Bronze (112), Satin Nickel (150), Matte Antique Nickel (152), Satin Black (190) and Polished Chrome (260). The PVD finishes are the ones to specify where handling and cleaning are constant. Venetian Bronze is the darker warm option if you're matching bronze-family hardware.

Neither. It's non-keyed with no cylinder and no privacy button, so there is nothing to key into a residential master system. If the door needs a lock, move up to a privacy set for a bathroom or bedroom, such as the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, or a keyed entry lever.

Usually yes, on a door that doesn't need to latch. The dummy mounts in the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore the old passage set used, so no new holes. What changes is behaviour: you lose the latchbolt, so add a catch to hold the door shut and leave the existing strike or fill it. Match the rose shape and finish to the rest of the room while you're at it.

The Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy and the Emtek Hammered lever dummy are both supplied as pairs, as is the Emtek Cortina dummy, so one part number dresses both faces. The Baldwin Reserve Curve is a one-sided non-turning dummy, so a two-face opening takes two of them - and because it is offered in left and right handing, each face is specified separately.

Both are dummy-function levers, but they are specified differently. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever in the Bentley series. The Baldwin Reserve Curve is a residential Reserve Series non-turning one-sided dummy with a traditional rose, and it is ordered by rose shape - Traditional Arch, Traditional Round or Traditional Square - and by handing. If the job is matching existing Baldwin Reserve trim on adjacent doors, the rose and handing selection is what makes the Baldwin the match; if the requirement is simply a dummy lever carrying a Grade 2 designation, the Bentley states one.

A dummy lever has no keyed function at all, so any door that needs to secure takes a different lock entirely. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset and Delaney LP250 Grade 2 keypad leverlock handle it without a key. The Baldwin Reserve Curve is non-keyed and is intended for interior doors that do not require a locking mechanism.

For a fire-rated opening, look at locks that carry a fire rating in their specification: the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever are both fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Reserve Curve is a residential Reserve Series dummy trim for interior closet and hallway doors that do not require a locking mechanism, which is a different application from a rated opening.

Only if the door needs to latch. The Kwikset 200DL Delta lever passage door lock is a Grade 3 reversible interior hall and closet lever shipping with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the 200DL-RCALFD version comes with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike. Those are latching locks with strike prep. The Baldwin Reserve Curve is a non-turning dummy with a 1 inch edge bore and no latch, so swapping one for the other changes what has to be cut into the door edge and jamb.

The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the J75 is the Grade 2 flat lever passage version for the same thickness. Both operate a latch. The Baldwin Reserve Curve does not - it is non-turning trim in a traditional design, offered in eight finishes including Polished Brass PVD, Venetian Bronze and Satin Black. The choice is function first: a latching door takes the X75 or J75, a fixed or ball-catch door takes the Baldwin.
