Bravura Bancroft with Square Trim Dummy Knobset, Grade 2

The Bancroft square trim dummy knobset has no latch and no working mechanism. The knob is fixed and does not turn. It mounts to the face of the door as a pull, which is what you want on a closet door held shut by a roller or ball catch, on the inactive leaf of a French pair, or as the matching half of a set where only one leaf is functioning.

No. It's a dummy, so there is no latch and no strike involved. If the door needs to stay closed you need a separate catch, or a passage lockset instead. A Grade 2 passage knob in the same class would be something like the Corbin Russwin CK4410 or the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob.

The Bancroft square trim dummy knobset is designated residential. For commercial work, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a heavy duty Grade 2 knob lock, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. If the opening needs a working commercial knob rather than a dummy, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the closest peer: a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob lock in a dummy function, the same grade and function as the Bancroft square trim dummy knobset. The A170 is rated heavy duty and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick, while the Bancroft is a solid brass residential dummy. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is another Grade 2 dummy option, rated medium duty.

The Bancroft square trim knobset is a dummy function, meaning it is a counterpart to functioning hardware or used where no latch is needed. For an operating closet or hall door, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is also Grade 2 for the same thickness range. For a bed or bath door, the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is the Grade 2 privacy version.

Bancroft is a single dummy trim, one knob for one face of the door. For a French pair where you want a knob on both leaves, order two, or look at a set sold as a pair such as the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy or the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown dummy, both of which ship two knobs per set.

Four: US15 Satin Nickel, US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze, US26 Polished Chrome, and US19 Black. If you're matching existing hardware on a run of doors, those US codes are the ones to check against your other knobs and hinges so the whole opening reads the same.

No handing to specify. The Bancroft is reversible, so the same part works on a left hand or right hand door and on either leaf of a pair.

A dummy trim has no latch to run through the edge of the door, so there is no cross bore and no latch prep involved. It mounts to the door face only. If you are replacing a working knob with a dummy, you'll be covering an existing 2-1/8 inch bore rather than making a new one.

That's exactly what dummy trim is for. It's a counterpart to functioning hardware, so you put the working lockset on the active leaf and the Bancroft on the inactive one in a matching finish. Just match the US finish code between the two so the pair looks identical.

For a straight function swap, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob from the Barrington BA Series is another cylindrical dummy, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim covers it on the commercial side. Where the Bancroft differs is the square rose trim and solid brass build, so if the square look is the reason you picked it, the round-rose options won't match.

The Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob from the Barrington BA series is a straightforward cylindrical dummy that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Compared with the Bancroft, which is solid brass with square trim and rated Grade 2, the BA40 is offered as a plain dummy knob without a stated grade. Both serve the same purpose of trimming a door where no latch is required.

Watch the function labels. The Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in passage function with a 3 inch projection, not a dummy, and the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only for the 7800 Series exit device rather than a standalone door trim. The Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function for the ED-500 exit device series. The Bancroft square trim knobset is a Grade 2 dummy used where a latch is not needed.

The Bancroft square trim knobset is the dummy member of the family, described as a counterpart to functioning door hardware. To fill out the rest of the doors with comparable residential knobs, the Callan Edgewood and Callan Roland are Grade 2 entrance knobsets, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

Solid brass, with square trim on the rose. That's the same construction class as the Omnia solid brass dummy knobsets, and it matters on a dummy because the knob is a pull that gets gripped constantly without any mechanism behind it to share the load.
