Bravura Cary with Round Trim Dummy Leverset, Grade 2

No latch at all. The Cary dummy lever is a fixed trim, the lever does not turn and there is no latchbolt or strike involved. It mounts to the door face and is used on closet doors, false or inactive leaves of a pair, and anywhere a handle is wanted purely for appearance or as a pull. If the door needs to latch shut, a dummy is the wrong function.

Yes. The Cary is listed as reversible, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door. That matters on a pair of doors where you want the levers pointing toward each other, and it means a property manager buying several does not have to track handing on the order.

The Bravura Cary with Round Trim dummy leverset is a Grade 2 dummy built for residential use. For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta from the 5400 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever. Both hold the same dummy function - no latch, pull only - at a higher ANSI grade suited to commercial traffic.

A dummy has no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet door, look at the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever from the 5300 Series, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, or the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. For bed and bath, the Hager 2540 uses the Withnell lever and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob.

The Cary is built to exceed ANSI Grade 2 on the internal mechanics and is classified as residential. For apartments, condos and single family interiors it is well within its duty. For a school corridor, a hospital, or anything taking institutional traffic, step up to a commercial Grade 1 dummy such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim.

The Cary dummy is a round rose cylindrical trim, and matching it exactly means staying within the Bravura Cary line for the working functions. If you would rather buy one family across the whole job, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a passage, a privacy, and a half dummy in left and right hand, so all three functions share one lever and rose design.

The Cary is a single dummy trim, one lever for one face of a door. For a set of French doors where you want a lever on each leaf, order two. If you prefer a factory pair in one carton, Emtek sells its Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy levers as pairs.

A dummy lever does not use the cross bore the way a functioning lockset does, since there is no latch and no spindle running through the door. It surface mounts to the face, so a leftover 2-1/8 inch bore from a removed knob set will usually sit behind the rose rather than be used by it. Check that the round rose covers the existing hole before you commit, and if it does not, a filler plate or a working passage set is the cleaner fix.

Yes. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy. Both match the Cary's Grade 2 rating and dummy function, so the choice comes down to lever style and finish rather than function.

The Bravura Cary with Round Trim is sold as a dummy leverset in satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze and polished nickel. If the opening needs a handed half dummy, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose comes as a left hand half dummy and a right hand half dummy as separate items. If it needs both faces trimmed on a pair of doors, the Emtek Arts and Crafts lever and the Emtek Cortina lever from the Classic Brass line are each sold as a dummy pair.

The Cary is dummy only, so a keyed opening needs a different lockset. Comparable Grade 2 keyed levers include the Cal-Royal AG05 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom with Withnell lever, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial entry lever, and the Falcon B511CP6D Grade 2 medium duty entry/office lever. For a residential-style keyed entry, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset.

Several cylindrical levers share the same trim appearance but carry working latches or electronics. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers, and the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever - all of these latch and are not dummies. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever. None of these substitute for a non-latching dummy trim.

Three: US15 Satin Nickel, US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze, and US14 Polished Nickel. If you are matching a dummy to working hardware already on adjacent doors, pick the finish code off the existing lever rose rather than going by eye, since satin and polished nickel read very differently once installed.

Solid brass construction. That is the reason it holds up as a pull on a closet or pantry door where a cast zinc dummy tends to loosen at the rose over time.

The Bravura Cary is a solid brass Grade 2 residential leverset. If the opening only needs basic residential-grade lever trim, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both are passage function with a working latch rather than dummy trim, so confirm whether the door needs to latch before swapping.
