Bravura Bancroft with Round Trim Dummy Knobset, Grade 2

Nothing mechanical. The Bancroft dummy knobset is a fixed pull, no latch, no turning mechanism. It mounts to the face of the door and is used either as a pull on a closet, pantry, or French door leaf where no latching is needed, or as the counterpart to a working lockset on an inactive door leaf so both sides match.

The Bancroft is a residential Grade 2 knobset. For a commercial dummy, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical knob, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty A Series product for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. Both are specified as commercial cylindrical lines, which is what an institutional submittal usually asks for even on a non-functioning trim.

A dummy knob has no latch at all, so if the door needs to stay closed you want a passage function instead. Comparable passage knobsets include the Pamex FTF Grade 3 Baron passage lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob for the same thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock. All three throw a latch bolt with no key and no privacy button, which is what most hall and closet doors need.

The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the closest commercial-brand counterpart. Both are Grade 2 cylindrical dummy knobs, so the function matches exactly - a knob mounted to the face of the door with no latch behind it. The A170 is an A Series heavy duty product rated for door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, while the Bancroft is a solid brass residential knobset. If the dummy knob is going on an inactive leaf or a closet door in a commercial building and the spec calls for a recognized commercial series, the A170 is the swap.

No. The Bancroft is a dummy - it is a counterpart to functioning hardware or is used where a latch is not needed, so it neither latches nor locks. A bathroom door needs privacy function with an inside turn button: the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob or the Pamex FTF Grade 3 Baron privacy lockset, both listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim. Dummies are for inactive leaves, closet fronts, and the non-operating half of a double door.

Four: US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze, US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, and US19 Black. If you're matching existing hardware in a house or a unit, those are standard US finish codes, so a US15 Bancroft will sit alongside other US15 hardware without a visible mismatch in tone.

Yes. The Bancroft is reversible, so a single unit works on either hand. On a pair of French doors you'd typically run a dummy on the inactive leaf and a latching set on the active one.

The Bancroft dummy and the Schlage A170 are single dummy trims - one knob, one side. For both faces, Emtek sells dummy pairs: the Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg knob dummy pair and the Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence knob dummy pairs each ship two knobs. Emtek also offers Porcelain knobs with threaded rod sold two knobs per set. Order the pair version for a through-door application and the single for an inactive leaf where only one face is seen.

The Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob from the Barrington BA series is listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. Both carry the same dummy function as the Bancroft - a fixed knob with no latch or turn behind it. The BA40 and A170 give you a published thickness range in writing, which matters when the door is at the top of that band.

Solid brass, then plated to the ordered finish. That matters for a rental or high-traffic residential door, since a solid brass knob holds up to handling better than a hollow stamped one.

The Bancroft dummy is a counterpart to functioning hardware, so it is meant to be paired with a keyed or latching knob elsewhere in the same style family. If you are choosing the keyed partner separately, Grade 2 keyed knob options include the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Edgewood Grade 2 entrance knobset, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder. Appearance will not match the Bancroft round trim across brands, so pair within one family if visual match matters.
