BEST 45H01DT3J626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the BEST 45H single dummy mortise lock actually latch, or is it just a pull?
It's a dummy, so there is no latch action at all. The 45H 1DT is a non-keyed trim set with a fixed lever or knob that doesn't retract anything, used on the inactive leaf of a pair or on a door that needs matching hardware without operation. If you need a working latch with free operation both sides, you want a passage function instead, such as the Schlage PM010 mortise passage latch or the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 mortise passage lock.
2) Will the BEST 45H dummy fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and what about thicker doors?
Standard configuration is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the usual commercial thickness. A thick door configuration covers doors up to 5 inches, but the thickness has to be specified at time of order, so it isn't something you adapt later in the field.
3) Can I match BEST 45H dummy trim to the keyed 45H locks already on my building's doors?
That's the normal reason to buy it. Escutcheon trim comes in three styles, J wrought, M forged, and N forged with concealed cylinder, and the lever range covers Contour with Angle Return, Curved with and without Return, Gull Wing, 12 solid tube no return, 3 solid tube with return, and 4 round knob. Pick the same trim style, lever and finish as your keyed 45H openings and the dummy reads identically on the door.
4) Does the BEST 45H dummy meet ANSI Grade 1 and ADA requirements?
The 45H Series is built to ANSI A156.13, Series 1000, Grade 1 Operation and Strength, Grade 2 Security, and the design and operation meet the intent of ANSI A117.1 section 404.2.6 for accessibility. If a project spec calls for Grade 1 Security with escutcheon trim, that requires a drill resistant core (1CD, 1CDP, 1CDF or 1CDX), which does not apply to a non-keyed dummy.
5) What is the closest Grade 1 dummy mortise lever equivalent to the BEST 45H single dummy from another manufacturer?
The Schlage L0170 is the closest peer. It is a Grade 1 mortise non-keyed lever lock in half dummy trim from the L Series, rated heavy duty and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST 45H single dummy is likewise a non-keyed heavy duty commercial mortise dummy with a 2-3/4 inch backset and escutcheon trim. Both give a fixed lever with no latch operation, so the decision usually comes down to matching the lever and escutcheon design already on the adjacent doors.
6) I need the lever on this door to actually retract a latch, not just sit there. What should I order instead of the 45H dummy?
A dummy lever is fixed trim with no working latch, so for an operating passage door look at a passage function mortise lock. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock that is field reversible and fire rated. The Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the 45H backset and trim style most closely.
7) For a behavioral health or patient room, can I use the BEST 45H dummy or is there a better trim?
The 45H single dummy offers escutcheon trim in wrought, forged, and forged concealed cylinder styles with lever and knob designs, plus 626AM and 630AM UltraShield antimicrobial finishes for healthcare use. If the concern is ligature resistance rather than cleanability, the TownSteel MRX-A-01 arch trim and MRX-L-01 lever are Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature passage mortise locksets in satin stainless for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 ligature resistant, ADA compliant hospital passage push/pull paddleset.
8) Can I swap a BEST 45H dummy into a door that has a Baldwin 6301 mortise prep?
Check the backset before ordering. The Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock body uses a 2-1/2 inch backset, as does the 6301LS lever version and the 6310 storeroom body. The BEST 45H is a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise lock, so the pocket and spindle centerline sit in a different place and it is not a drop-in for a Baldwin 2-1/2 inch prep without rework.
9) Is there a BEST 45H dummy finish suitable for a hospital or food service facility?
Two antimicrobial options: 626AM satin chrome and 630AM satin stainless, both with the UltraShield coating that inhibits growth of bacteria and other microbes on the hardware surface. BEST recommends it for hospital and elderly care, education, transportation, food service and hospitality. Standard finishes run 605, 606, 611, 612, 613, 618, 619, 622, 625, 626, 629, 630 and 690.
10) Does the BEST 45H dummy need handing specified?
Handing is not the concern it is on a latching lock here. The 45H design is reversible, with a non-handed cylinder retainer and a latch that rotates 180 degrees without opening the case. On a dummy there's no latch to reverse anyway, so what you're really specifying is trim style, lever design, finish and door thickness.
11) What are the alternatives to a BEST 45H dummy escutcheon if I'm not running BEST hardware?
The closest cross-brand equivalent we carry is the Schlage L0170 half dummy trim, a Grade 1 non-keyed mortise lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. On the decorative side, Emtek offers mortise dummy locksets in several designs, including the 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan. And if the dummy trim is going on an M9900 exit device rather than a door edge, the Falcon MESC600DT dummy escutcheon lever trim is the part for that.
12) Which keyed BEST-comparable mortise locks pair with a 45H dummy on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors?
For the active leaf alongside a 45H dummy, the common keyed choices are storeroom or classroom function. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series. The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option, which suits jobs already on small format interchangeable core since the 45H is prepped SFIC less core. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. Match finish and lever design across the pair for a consistent look.
13) For a residential-style entry door with a decorative dummy, is the BEST 45H the right pick or should I look at Emtek?
The BEST 45H is specified as commercial, heavy duty hardware with ANSI Grade 1 operation and strength. For a decorative residential opening, Emtek's mortise dummy locksets cover that look: the 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan are all dummy function mortise entrance locksets in their own design series. Choose by whether the opening needs commercial-duty trim or a residential design family.
14) The door needs a privacy lock for a restroom, not a dummy. What mortise options replace the BEST 45H dummy there?
A dummy has no locking function at all, so for a restroom use a privacy function mortise lock. The Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the 45H backset, for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both give an inside turn and outside emergency release that the 45H dummy does not have.
15) We are moving to credential access on these openings. What electronic mortise locks go on the doors where a 45H dummy will not do?
The BEST 45H is a non-electronic mechanical mortise lock. For credentialed openings, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the FME-4000 adds electronic intruder classroom function with RFID. The Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating. Dummy openings on the same project can stay mechanical with the 45H.
16) What mortise lock should I use where the opening needs a deadbolt rather than dummy trim?
The BEST 45H single dummy is non-keyed fixed trim with no bolt work. Where a bolt is the requirement, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the 45H backset. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise lock is a deadbolt function with no handing. Both are separate deadbolt products rather than lever locksets.
17) Will a BEST 45H dummy lever droop over time on a high traffic door?
The trim carries a lever return spring mechanism specifically to resist droop, and the hub runs on roller bearings for smooth, wear resistant operation. Case, cover and armored front are 0.095 inch cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating for corrosion protection, which is the same heavy duty commercial build as the keyed 45H locks.
