Baldwin Reserve Round Full Dummy Knob Set with Traditional Rose

A full dummy knob is a fixed pull. There's no latch, no spring return, no keying at all. It mounts a knob on each face of the door and looks identical to an active passage, privacy or entry knob next to it. Use it where the door doesn't need to latch: a false door, one leaf of a double door, a closet or pantry that catches on a ball catch or roller catch. If you need the door to stay shut on a latchbolt, you want a passage knob instead, not this.

Yes. The Reserve Round dummy mounts in the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a knobset. That's the point of the full dummy version: swap an active knob out for a dummy without patching the door face. The 1 inch edge bore prep on the door doesn't matter here since there's no latch going into it.

Full dummy means both sides. You get a knob and rose for each face, which is what you want on a door people push and pull from both directions, like a pantry or a closet with a catch. If you only need trim on one face, a single dummy is the other route: the Schlage A170 single dummy trim and the BEST 6K single dummy trim are both one-sided.

The Reserve series is residential hardware, so for an apartment interior, a model unit or a single-family remodel it's the right class of product. For a commercial corridor or an institutional building where you need a graded cylindrical knob, look at the Corbin Russwin CK4310, which is Grade 1 passage, or the Schlage D10S, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob. In dummy specifically, the Schlage A170 is Grade 2 heavy duty and the BEST 6K single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty.

For a dummy knob that mounts in the same non-latching way, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob in the A Series with a dummy function, and the BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical dummy trim. The Baldwin Reserve set is a residential dummy knob in the Reserve Series with a traditional design, so the Schlage and BEST parts read as commercial-grade trim while the Baldwin carries the decorative rose treatment.

The Baldwin Reserve round set is a dummy, so it has no latch. For a door that needs to stay closed, the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed passage latch with an Orbit knob. Both operate a latch bolt; the Baldwin dummy is a fixed pull.

A dummy knob cannot lock, so for a bath or bedroom door the Pamex FTF is a Grade 3 Baron knob in a privacy function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is a privacy set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Reserve round knob set is non-keyed with a dummy function only.

Three traditional rose shapes: Traditional Arch (TAR), Traditional Round (TRR) and Traditional Square (TSR). Each is offered across all eight finishes, so you can match the rose profile to the trim on the rest of the door and still get the finish you want: 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). Square rose reads more transitional; arch and round read more traditional.

Neither one applies. A dummy has no latch, so there's no bolt to reach a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and no bevel to hand. You're only choosing rose shape, finish and door thickness. Handing and backset come back into play the moment you switch to an active function like passage or privacy.

That's what the Reserve collection is built around. The Round knob with a traditional rose reads the same on a dummy as it does on an active passage, privacy or entry door, so a closet or false door carries the same profile and finish as everything else on the floor. Keep the rose shape and finish code the same across the order and the openings match.

The Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, and the Cal-Royal BA40 in the Barrington BA Series is a dummy knob cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are plainer round-trim dummies against the Baldwin Reserve set, which is offered in eight finishes across three traditional rose shapes.

The Baldwin Reserve round set is non-keyed. For a keyed entry knob, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and strike, the Master Lock BC Series BC01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry biscuit knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is a Grade 1 entrance/office knob with a conventional cylinder for doors up to 2 inch.

No. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in a storeroom function for the ED-500 Series. Those mount to an exit device chassis. The Baldwin Reserve round set is a dummy knob that fits the 2.125 inch standard door preparation.

For the latching doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock in the CK4400 Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow MK01 and RK01 are Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob locks over the same thickness range, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage knobset with an interchangeable core. The Baldwin Reserve round dummy has no latch and fills the closet and inactive-leaf openings.

No. There's no cylinder and no keyway in a dummy knob, so it can't be keyed and it can't go on a master key system. Any door that has to be secured or keyed needs an active function. In this family of hardware, an entrance or storeroom knob is the direction to go.
