Bravura Columbus with Rectangle Trim Dummy Leverset, Grade 2

There's no latch and no moving mechanism in a dummy. The Columbus dummy lever is a fixed pull that mounts to the door face, used as the counterpart to a working lever on the inactive leaf of a double door, or on a closet or pantry door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch. If you need the door to latch when it closes, this isn't the part. A passage set is what latches without keying.

Handing is a real choice here. The Columbus dummy comes as a left hand or a right hand version, so pick the one that matches the lever direction on the door it's going on. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, it's left hand. On a pair of doors, order the dummy in the hand that mirrors the active leaf's lever.

It's built to a residential duty level, with internal mechanics Bravura states exceed ANSI Grade 2. That suits apartments, condos, and single family work. For a commercial corridor or anything institutional, step up to a heavy duty Grade 1 dummy trim like the BEST 9K Series 1DT, or a Grade 2 commercial dummy such as the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim.

The Bravura Columbus dummy leverset is rated Grade 2 and classified residential. For corridor and institutional traffic, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy from the 5400 Series. If the corridor door also needs to latch, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock with non-handed levers for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick.

A dummy lever such as the Bravura Columbus has no latch at all - it is a counterpart to functioning hardware or is used where a latch is not needed. For a door that must latch but not lock, order a passage function lever: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical lever lock, the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock with the Sierra lever, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock with the Withnell design.

The Bravura Columbus is dummy function, which is pull trim only. For a bed or bath door that needs to lock from the inside, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.

The Bravura Columbus dummy leverset is ordered by hand - left hand and right hand are separate items across the satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze and black finishes. Baldwin handles this the same way, with the Estate 5103 offered as a left hand half dummy lever and a separate right hand half dummy lever, both with the 5048 rose. Emtek instead sells dummy trim in pairs, such as the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair and the Cortina lever dummy pair from the Classic Brass line, which covers both sides of a double door in one order.

No. The Bravura Columbus is dummy function, meaning it is a counterpart to functioning hardware and carries no latch or lock. An entry opening needs a keyed function: the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office cylindrical lever lock.

A dummy lever such as the Bravura Columbus has no latching mechanism, so it does not hold a door closed and is not the part a fire rated opening is specified on. Where the drawing calls for a fire rated lever lock, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated vandal resistant passage/closet lever lock for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock.

Three finishes across the Columbus dummy: US15 satin nickel, US10B oil rubbed bronze, and US19 black. Each is available in both left and right hand, so you can match a hand to any of the three. If you're matching other openings in a building, those US codes are the standard finish designations to check your existing hardware against.

For a suite where one leaf is a dummy and the others need to work, the Baldwin Estate 5103 family is the cleanest match set: it's sold as a left hand half dummy, a right hand half dummy, a passage lever, and a privacy lever, all on the 5048 rose. Emtek also runs dummy pairs in matching trims, such as the Classic Cortina lever dummy pair. The Columbus dummy itself is a dummy only, so any working lever alongside it comes from a different order line.

The Columbus dummy is ordered by hand, left or right, which is how a single side dummy is specified. If you need levers on both faces of a door, that's two hands, or a product sold as a pair like the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair. Something like the Accentra 455LN Augusta is likewise a single dummy trim.

A dummy has no latch to run through the edge of the door, so there's no cross bore and no latch prep. It fastens to the door face where the rose lands. That's the practical difference from every keyed or passage cylindrical lockset, and it's why a dummy can go on a slab door that was never bored.

Yes. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever in the Bentley series, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy at medium duty. Both sit at the same ANSI grade as the Bravura Columbus dummy leverset, so the choice comes down to lever and rose styling rather than mechanism rating.

To keep one lever family across a house, Baldwin's Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is sold as a half dummy, a passage lever and a privacy lever, so the same lever runs the closet, bath and pull-only doors. The Bravura Columbus with rectangle trim is a solid brass Grade 2 residential dummy, so where the Columbus rectangle rose is already on the openings, matching by function within the Bravura line keeps the trim consistent.

The Bravura Columbus dummy leverset is a bored cylindrical lever that mounts to the door face as a pull with no latch. Lever trim is a different part that mounts to an exit device: the Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and CL3300 cylindrical lock series, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with entry function from the ED-500 series. Those attach to a device chassis and will not substitute for a dummy lever on a plain bored door.

The Bravura Columbus dummy leverset is non-latching pull trim with no code or key entry. For keyless code access, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is a keypad lever in the Classic line, and 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 thick.

They sit at different ANSI grades. The Bravura Columbus dummy leverset is Grade 2 with a solid brass body. Grade 3 levers in the same lever format include the Callan Asheville passage leverset in satin nickel, the Callan Artino entrance leverset, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Note that those are passage and entrance functions with a working latch, not dummy trim.

The Bravura Columbus is a dummy leverset and carries no keyed function. For keyed institutional openings, 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 thick, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, and the Dexter C1000 classroom is a Grade 1 keyed clutching classroom lever lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.

Solid brass, which is why it takes plated and bronze finishes cleanly and holds up as a pull that gets grabbed every day. The trim is a rectangle rose rather than a round one, so check the shape of what's on your other doors before mixing.

Bravura states the Columbus exceeds ANSI Grade 2 on its internal mechanics, so it sits above common Grade 3 residential sets like the Callan Asheville passage or the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever. On a dummy that matters less than it would on a working lock, since there's no mechanism cycling. Match on trim shape and finish first.
