Bravura BV909073 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Bravura Columbus privacy leverset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Columbus privacy leverset drops into the standard bored prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and a 1 x 2-1/4 inch latch face. That is the same prep almost every residential lever or knob set already sits in, so a straight swap on an existing bored door needs no new drilling. Backset is 2-3/8 inch standard with 2-3/4 inch optional, and you pick which one when you order.
2) What door thickness does the Bravura Columbus leverset work on, and what about a thicker door?
The Columbus covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors as supplied, which takes in both the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4. For a 2-1/4 inch door there are extension kits, so a thick or built-up slab is still workable, but that is an added item on the order rather than something in the box.
3) Do I have to order the Bravura Columbus by hand, and is it reversible?
Handing is an order choice on the Columbus: it is sold left hand and right hand in each finish. The lever itself is reversible, so a set already on hand can be turned to suit the opposite swing rather than returned.
4) Will the Bravura Columbus latch into the strike plate that is already in my jamb?
The bolt is a 1/2 inch solid brass throw behind a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch round corner faceplate, which is the ordinary residential bored-latch footprint. If your existing jamb strike is a full lip round corner or square type, it will catch. The Columbus ships with strike options in both full lip round corner (9103) and square, so you can match whatever the jamb is already cut for instead of chiseling a new mortise.
5) Is a privacy leverset the right function for a bathroom or bedroom door, or do I need a keyed lock?
Privacy is the right pick for bed and bath. The Columbus locks from the inside only, with a small pin hole on the outside face so the door can be released from the corridor in an emergency. There is no key and no cylinder. For a door that has to be locked from the outside, you want an entrance or office function instead, such as the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever or the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever. For a door that never needs to lock at all, a passage set like the Hager 2510 is the cheaper way to go.
6) Is the Bravura Columbus leverset heavy duty enough for an apartment building or hotel?
The Columbus is a Grade 2 residential lever, and it exceeds Grade 2 on the internal mechanics. That suits single-family, condo and light multi-family bedroom and bath doors. For a commercial corridor or a high-traffic institutional bath where the door cycles all day, step up to a Grade 1 privacy lock such as the Arrow MK02-TA, or spec from a commercial Grade 2 line like the Hager 2540 privacy lock with the Withnell lever, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
7) Can I replace a Kwikset privacy lever with the Bravura Columbus without changing the door?
In most cases yes, on prep. A Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set is a Grade 3 lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors on the same bored prep the Columbus uses: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, 1 x 2-1/4 inch latch face. Match the backset you already have, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4, and the Columbus goes into the same holes. The step up is grade, from Grade 3 to Grade 2, and a solid brass body.
8) My door is 1-3/8 inch and I want a lever privacy lock. Which options actually cover that thickness?
The Columbus does, at 1-3/8 to 2 inch, which is wider coverage than a lot of commercial lever locks that start at 1-3/4. Among the alternatives, the Hager 2540 privacy lock runs 1-3/8 to 2 inch as well. Skip anything spec'd 1-3/4 to 2 inch, like the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock, on a thin door: it will not clamp up on a 1-3/8 slab.
9) What is a straight equivalent to the Bravura Columbus arched trim privacy leverset if I need the same privacy function in a lever?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set covers the same bed and bath privacy function in a lever handle, and it is rated Grade 3 where the Bravura Columbus privacy leverset is Grade 2. The Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is another Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, which matches the 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness the Columbus covers. Trim style is the main visual difference: the Columbus uses an arched rose, the Withnell and Breton use their own shapes.
10) I need a privacy lock for a bathroom door but the room wants knobs instead of levers - what is the alternative?
The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, non-keyed, and it is fire rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. It is the knob-trim route to the same bed and bath privacy function the Bravura Columbus arched trim leverset provides with a lever. Note the door thickness: the Arrow MK02-TA starts at 1-3/4 inch, while the Columbus starts at 1-3/8 inch, so a thinner door points back to the lever.
11) The door does not need to lock at all - what do I use instead of a privacy leverset?
For a hall, closet, or any opening that only needs the lever to retract the latch, a passage lockset replaces the privacy set. The Hager 2510 with the Withnell design is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, matching the Bravura Columbus door thickness range. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in a satin nickel finish, and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. None of these carry the interior turn button and emergency pin hole that make the Columbus a privacy set.
12) This is going on a commercial corridor door with heavy traffic - is a Grade 2 residential privacy leverset the right call?
The Bravura Columbus arched trim privacy leverset is a Grade 2 set specified for residential use. Where a facility standard calls for Grade 1, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock, fire rated, with non-handed levers and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range; the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are passage function rather than privacy, so a corridor door that also needs a bathroom-style interior lock is a different specification than either.
13) I need the same lever look on a door that needs a key from the outside - what do I order instead?
The Bravura Columbus arched trim set is a privacy function, unlocked from outside only by a pin hole, so it takes no key. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the same thickness range the Columbus covers. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, which matches the standard backset on the Columbus. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office lever lock.
14) What finishes does the Bravura Columbus privacy lever come in, and can I match the other doors in the house?
Three finishes across the Columbus privacy lever: US15 satin nickel, US10B oil rubbed bronze, and US19 black. Each is offered in both left and right hand, so a whole floor of bedroom and bath doors can be run in one finish regardless of swing. The lever body is solid brass under the finish.
15) What do I need to specify when ordering the Bravura Columbus privacy leverset?
Three decisions. Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, so measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore before ordering. Then finish (satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze or black) and hand, left or right. If the door is thicker than 2 inches, add the 2-1/4 inch extension kit.
16) I need a matching non-locking lever for a closet or hall door in the same style. What should I pair with a Columbus privacy set?
Within the Columbus family the arched trim carries across functions, so a passage version keeps the look on hall and closet doors that do not lock. If you are mixing brands, the Baldwin Estate 5103 comes in privacy, passage, and left or right half dummy on the same 5048 rose, which is the cleanest way to run one lever design through locking, non-locking and dummy openings in one house.
17) Can I use a dummy lever in place of a privacy leverset on the inactive leaf of a bedroom door pair?
No - a dummy is trim only and has no latch or locking mechanism, so it cannot do what the Bravura Columbus privacy set does with its interior lock and exterior pin hole release. Dummies are the right part for the inactive leaf itself: the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and Baldwin offers the Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose in left hand and right hand. Order the privacy set for the active leaf and the dummy for the leaf that does not move.
18) What is the solid brass alternative to the Bravura Columbus privacy leverset for a high-end residential job?
The Bravura Columbus arched trim privacy leverset is solid brass with a 1/2 inch solid brass latch throw and is reversible. In the same decorative territory, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is a privacy function lever, and Baldwin offers the matching 5103 passage lever on the same 5048 rose so the hall and bedroom doors read alike. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which is a keyed function rather than privacy.
19) The tenants keep losing keys - is there a keyless lever that replaces a privacy set on an interior door?
Keyless mechanical and electronic lever sets serve a different opening than a privacy set, which is meant for a bathroom or bedroom that anyone inside can lock. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the 2835DC adds a double combination. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination, passage function, for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the same grade as the Bravura Columbus.
20) The bathroom is in a care facility and staff need to get in - does a privacy leverset meet that?
The Bravura Columbus privacy set unlocks from the outside through a small pin hole, which is a tool-and-emergency release rather than a staff-keyed override. Where the facility standard calls for a keyed institutional function, the Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. Those key both sides; the Columbus keys neither.
21) Do I have to specify handing on a privacy leverset, or is there a non-handed option?
The Bravura Columbus arched trim privacy leverset is reversible and is ordered as left hand or right hand. If a job calls for stocking one part number regardless of door swing, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers - both passage function rather than privacy, so they suit hall and closet doors rather than a bathroom.
22) I ordered the 2-3/4 inch backset - which other leversets come prepped for that backset?
The Bravura Columbus arched trim privacy leverset takes a 2-3/8 inch standard or 2-3/4 inch optional backset with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch round corner faceplate. Among comparable levers, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 lever supplied at a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, while the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is supplied at 2-3/8 inch. Confirm the bore centers on the door before choosing, since a 2-3/4 inch prep will not accept a 2-3/8 inch latch.
23) Is a storeroom lever an acceptable substitute for a privacy leverset?
No - a storeroom lock keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires a key to enter, while the Bravura Columbus privacy set is locked from inside the room by the occupant and released from outside through a pin hole. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Use those on supply and utility rooms, not on a bathroom.
24) I want one lever family across bedrooms, halls and closets in an apartment turn - what pairs with the privacy set?
The Bravura Columbus arched trim privacy leverset handles the bedroom and bathroom doors. For the hall and closet doors on the same turn, Callan offers the Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel and Accentra offers the 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage lever in the 5300 Series and the 4601LN Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series. Matching within a single lever family keeps the trim shape consistent door to door, so check that the passage lever you pick shares the rose and lever profile you want.
25) I need an oil rubbed bronze privacy lever - what are my options?
The Bravura Columbus arched trim privacy leverset is offered in US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze in both left hand and right hand, alongside US15 Satin Nickel and US19 Black. Among comparable privacy levers, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever. Confirm the finish code on whichever lever you pick matches the hinges and any deadbolt already on the door.
