Bravura BV925-163 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Bravura Bancroft privacy knobset fit a 2 inch thick door?
The Bancroft privacy knobset covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors as standard. Thicker slabs are handled with extension kits, available for 2-1/4 inch and 2-1/2 inch doors. So a solid-core 1-3/4 inch bedroom door, the usual case, drops straight in with no extras.
2) Can I put a Bancroft knobset into the existing holes from my old knob?
If the old knob was a standard bored lockset, yes. The Bancroft needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, which is the standard residential prep, and the latch face is 1 inch x 2-1/4 inch. Backset is the one thing to get right: order it in 2-3/8 inch (standard) or 2-3/4 inch to match the hole you already have.
3) How does a privacy knob unlock from the outside if someone locks themselves in the bathroom?
The interior knob carries the locking mechanism, and the outside face has a small pin hole. Poke it with the emergency tool or a stiff wire and the lock releases. There is no key and no cylinder, which is why privacy function is the right pick for bedrooms and baths but not for an exterior or a lockable storage door.
4) Will the Bancroft latch reach my existing strike, and can I use a drive-in latch?
Bolt throw is 1/2 inch solid brass, which is normal for a bored privacy latch and lines up with any standard residential strike set in the standard prep. Faceplate is a 1 inch x 2-1/4 inch round corner. If your frame has no face mortise, a drive-in latch is available, as is a UL latch.
5) Is a Bravura Bancroft knobset good enough for an apartment building or is it residential only?
It is built to a residential duty level, with Grade 2 internal mechanics. That suits apartments, condos and single family interiors. For a school, hospital or anything on a commercial corridor spec, step up to a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical knob such as the Schlage D Series or the Falcon X101, which is rated heavy duty and fire rated.
6) I need matching knobs on a bedroom, a hall closet and a front door. Is the Bancroft privacy knob the right one for all three?
Only the bedroom. Privacy function locks from the inside with a pin hole release outside, so it belongs on bedrooms and baths. A hall or closet door wants a passage knob, which does not lock at all, and a front door wants a keyed entry knob. Style matching across all three means staying in one manufacturer's series, not using the privacy version everywhere.
7) Do I have to choose a backset when ordering the Bancroft privacy knobset?
Yes, backset is a required selection: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore hole. New residential doors are almost always 2-3/8 inch; 2-3/4 inch shows up more on heavier or commercially prepped slabs. Getting this wrong is the most common reason a bored knob will not go into an existing door.
8) What is the closest Grade 2 privacy knob to the Bravura Bancroft privacy knobset?
The Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is the nearest match on rating and function: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy knob for bed and bath doors, the same grade and privacy function as the Bancroft. The Dexter uses a ball knob and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, while the Bancroft is a rectangle-trim knob that covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors with extension kits offered for 2-1/4 inch and 2-1/2 inch.
9) What should I use on a hall or closet door instead of a privacy knob?
A privacy knob such as the Bravura Bancroft locks from the inside, which is not what a hall or closet door needs. For a non-locking latch, the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is a Grade 2 passage knob for hall and closet doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Arrow's MK01 and RK01 are also Grade 2 non-keyed passage knobs over that same thickness range.
10) I need a knob that takes a key on the entry door - what takes the place of a privacy knobset there?
Privacy knobs like the Bravura Bancroft unlock from outside through a pin hole only, so an exterior door needs a keyed function. The Dexter C2000 Series entry/office ball knob is a Grade 2 keyed knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Callan Edgewood is a Grade 2 entrance knobset, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On the Grade 3 side, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
11) Which knobs look like a privacy knob but will not lock a bathroom door?
Dummy knobs are the common mix-up: they mount as trim and do not latch or lock at all. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy knob, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Omnia's 434/0 and 458/0 are single dummy knob latchsets. None of these give the interior locking that the Bravura Bancroft privacy function provides for bedroom and bathroom doors.
12) Is there another privacy knob that fits doors up to 2 inches thick?
The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range with a privacy bed and bath function, matching the Bravura Bancroft's 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch coverage. The Bancroft additionally has extension kits offered for 2-1/4 inch and 2-1/2 inch doors.
13) Is there a fire rated knob lock alternative in the same grade?
The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock that carries a fire rating, in a passage and closet latch function with a 2-3/4 inch backset. It matches the Bravura Bancroft on ANSI Grade 2 but is a non-locking passage latch rather than a privacy function.
14) Do I need to order a strike plate with the Bravura Bancroft privacy knob?
No extra strike needed. The Bancroft ships with both a full lip round corner strike (9103) and a square corner strike (9102), so it covers either frame prep without a second order line.
15) Does the Bancroft knobset need to be handed for a left or right swing door?
No handing to specify. The Bancroft is reversible, so one part number works on either swing. That is worth knowing if you are buying several at once for a unit turn, since you can order a single quantity and sort the doors on site.
16) Is there a Grade 3 privacy knob alternative for a lower-traffic bedroom door?
Two Grade 3 privacy knobs cover bed and bath openings. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. Both carry a lower ANSI grade than the Bravura Bancroft, which is Grade 2.
17) For a commercial corridor with heavy traffic, what steps up from a Grade 2 residential knobset?
The Bravura Bancroft is rated for residential use at Grade 2. Where a heavier duty knob is called for, the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder entrance knob lock, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with an interchangeable core carrying a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thickness range, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
18) What is a decorative privacy knob option if I want something other than a rectangle rose?
The Bravura Bancroft privacy knobset uses rectangle trim. For a round rose, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob with the R027 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy lock comes preconfigured with the 5148 rose, a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. The Bancroft is supplied with both full lip round corner and square corner strikes and offers a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
19) Can I get a matching passage knob to pair with a privacy knob in the same style?
Several lines carry privacy and passage in one family so the openings match. The Dexter C2000 Series offers a Grade 2 privacy ball knob and a Grade 2 passage ball knob, both for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Pamex FTF Baron line runs a Grade 3 privacy lockset and a Grade 3 passage lockset over the same range. Baldwin's Estate 5000 Baltimore is offered as a privacy lock and as a passage lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike.
20) What do I use on a classroom or storeroom door where staff need key control?
Privacy function is the wrong choice where access has to be controlled, since the Bravura Bancroft releases from outside through a pin hole. The Dexter C2000 Series classroom knob is a Grade 2 keyed classroom lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom and closet knob lock with a single cylinder.
21) What finishes does the Bravura Bancroft privacy knobset come in?
Four finishes: US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze and US19 Black. If you are matching existing doors in a house, pick the finish first and then the backset, since backset is a separate selection on the order.
22) What is the Bravura Bancroft knob actually made of?
Solid brass, with a rectangle trim rose. The latch bolt is solid brass too. That is the material to expect under the plating on all four finishes, so wear on a heavily used bedroom door shows as finish wear rather than a knob that loosens up.
