Bravura Fayetteville with Square Trim Dummy Leverset, Grade 2

Handing is not an issue. The Fayetteville is reversible, so one part number covers a left hand or right hand leaf. That matters on a pair of French doors where you are hanging a dummy on one side and a working set on the other, and it means you are not stocking two versions to cover a building.

The Bravura Fayetteville dummy leverset has no latch - dummy trim is a counterpart to functioning hardware or is used where a latch is not needed. For a door that must stay closed, a passage set is the equivalent choice: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever lock, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Each of these latches without a key; the Fayetteville does not latch at all.

The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim lever. Both are dummy function like the Bravura Fayetteville, which is Grade 2. If the drawing calls out ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 dummy trim, either Accentra or BEST meets that line item; the Fayetteville is written to Grade 2.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, matching the Bravura Fayetteville dummy leverset on both grade and function. Both are non-latching dummy trim, so either one mounts on a door leaf where no latch is needed and pairs with an active set on the other leaf. The difference is trim design: the Fayetteville carries square trim, and the Bentley is Callan's Bentley series. If a project has already standardized on the Bravura Fayetteville look, the Bentley is a function-for-function stand-in rather than a visual match.

The Bravura Fayetteville dummy leverset is a Grade 2 residential set. For a commercial corridor or an institutional facility, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy. All three perform the same dummy function - fixed trim with no latch - so the choice comes down to the duty level the opening is specified for.

Dummy trim does not lock, so it will not serve a bedroom or bath. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose carries privacy function in the same 5103 lever family as the Baldwin half dummy, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Use the Bravura Fayetteville dummy only where a latch is not needed.

The Fayetteville is built as residential hardware and its internal mechanics exceed ANSI Grade 2. For interior doors in apartments, condos, and single family rentals that is the right level. A dummy takes almost no cycling anyway since nothing latches, but on commercial corridors or anywhere a spec calls for a Grade 1 dummy, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, which is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy.

Three finishes: US15 Satin Nickel, US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze, and US19 Black. Those are the standard finish codes, so if the other levers in the unit are marked US15 or US10B you can match the dummy to them without eyeballing it. The square rose and lever trim is what you match on shape, so pair the dummy with other Fayetteville square trim sets on the same opening.

A dummy only makes sense alongside working hardware in the same trim, so plan the opening as a set: dummy on the inactive leaf or the false door, passage on halls and closets, privacy on bed and bath. If you want a single trim family that covers all three, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is sold in half dummy (left and right hand), passage, and privacy versions, so one lever design runs the whole floor.

Order by leaf. The Fayetteville square trim dummy is configured per side, with one backset and one finish selected, so a set of French doors needing a fixed pull on both faces of the inactive leaf takes two. If you would rather buy a matched pair in one line item, the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy leversets are sold as pairs.

No - a keypad set controls access, and the Fayetteville dummy has no latch to control. If the real requirement is keyless entry rather than fixed trim, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function fitting doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is a keypad lever in the Classic series. Reserve the Fayetteville dummy for the inactive leaf or a false door where nothing needs to latch.

They are not interchangeable. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered as a left hand version and a right hand version, so the hand has to be specified at order. The Bravura Fayetteville dummy leverset is reversible, so one set covers either hand of an opening. If a job needs several dummy levers across doors of mixed swing, the reversible Fayetteville is ordered once; the Baldwin half dummies are ordered per hand.

The Bravura Fayetteville dummy leverset is ordered with a backset of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Emtek sells dummy trim in pairs: the Arts & Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair are all dummy function and supplied as a pair, which covers both faces of a single leaf or both leaves of a pair of doors in one order.

The Bravura Fayetteville dummy leverset is Grade 2. For the closet and hall doors on the same run, the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series, the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 flat lever passage set for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three latch and none is keyed, so they operate freely while the Fayetteville dummy stays fixed.

Solid brass. That is the substrate under the plated finish, which is why the satin nickel and oil rubbed bronze wear the way they do rather than flaking off a zinc casting. On a dummy it also means the lever has the same weight in the hand as the working sets beside it, which is the whole point of putting a dummy on a matched pair of doors.

The Bravura Fayetteville dummy leverset is Grade 2 and residential. Grade 3 residential levers include the Callan Asheville passage leverset in satin nickel, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Callan Artino entrance leverset. Those are functioning sets rather than dummy trim, so use them where the door needs to latch and keep the Fayetteville for the leaf that does not.
