Bravura Macon with Round Trim Dummy Knobset, Grade 2

A dummy knob is fixed trim. The Macon dummy knobset has no latch and no turning mechanism, so it does not operate anything. It is used as the counterpart to functioning hardware, or on a door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch, closet and pantry doors, and inactive leaves of a double door. If the door needs to latch, order a passage or privacy function instead.

It is classed residential. Bravura states the internal mechanics exceed ANSI Grade 2 standards, but the product is specified for residential use, so for a commercial corridor or an institutional standardization program a commercial-listed dummy trim is the safer call. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim are both Grade 2 dummy knob options, and the Schlage A170 is rated heavy duty.

No backset applies. Because the Macon dummy has no latch, there is no cross bore into the door edge to worry about; it mounts to the face of the door only. That is the practical difference from a passage set like the Baldwin 5000 Baltimore, which is built around a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike.

The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the nearest commercial-grade counterpart. Like the Macon, it is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical knob in dummy function, but Schlage lists it as heavy duty in the A Series with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range, while the Macon is a Grade 2 solid brass dummy built for residential openings. If the opening is a commercial corridor or a facility standardizing on A Series trim, the A170 matches the existing family; for a residential interior door pairing with other Bravura Macon trim, the Macon keeps the round rose styling consistent.

Use the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim. It is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical knob in dummy function rated medium duty, so it sits in the same 6K family as the keyed BEST functions already on the facility's doors. The Bravura Macon is a Grade 2 dummy as well, but it is a residential solid brass set and is not part of a BEST trim family.

A dummy set is surface-mounted trim with no latch, so if the door must stay shut you need a passage or privacy function instead. The Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob in the Barrington BA series fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors if you want another dummy; for a latching closet or hall door, the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob adds a bed and bath push-button lock in the same range.

Not directly. A passage knob such as the Arrow MK01 or Arrow RK01, both Grade 2 non-keyed passage knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, includes a working latch and requires a bored cross bore plus edge bore and a strike in the frame. The Bravura Macon is a dummy, meaning it is a counterpart to functioning hardware or is used where a latch is not needed, so it mounts without latch or strike prep. Substituting a passage set changes both the door prep and the way the door holds closed.

Step up to a commercial cylindrical line. The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty knob lock in passage/closet function with a 2-3/4 inch backset and carries a fire rating, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, also fire rated. The Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob in the D Series. The Bravura Macon is a Grade 2 residential dummy and is specified for interior residential openings.

It is reversible, so the same set works on a left or right hand door without ordering a handed version. Round trim, round knob, no orientation to get wrong.

The Macon dummy is the no-latch member of a knobset family, so match it to the functioning Macon knob in the same finish for a consistent look. If you are outfitting the whole room in one brand instead, Cal-Royal's Barrington BA series offers a BA40 dummy knob alongside latching functions and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Dexter's C2000 Grade 2 line runs passage, privacy, entry and classroom on the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range.

Yes. The Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg knobset and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence knobsets are all sold in dummy function as a pair, which covers both leaves of a double door or both faces of a single door in one order. The Bravura Macon is a solid brass dummy knobset in round trim. Omnia also lists single dummy versions, the 434/0 egg-shaped and the 442/00 with a 2-5/8 inch rose, if you only need one side.

Omnia offers three solid brass single dummy options with different profiles: the 434/0 traditional egg-shaped knob, the 442/00 #44 traditional knob on a 2-5/8 inch rose, and the 458/0 traditional dummy latchset listed with a 2-3/8 inch backset. All three are dummy function like the Bravura Macon, which uses a round knob on round trim in solid brass.

Within a single residential family, the Dexter C2000 Series covers Grade 2 passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom knobs, all on 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so a unit can be outfitted from one series. The Pamex FTF Baron series runs Grade 3 in entrance/office, privacy and passage on the same door thickness range. The Bravura Macon dummy is Grade 2 residential and would be specified for the closet or non-latching doors in that same unit.

No. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design for the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function for the ED-500 Series - both are trim components that mount to an exit device, not standalone door hardware. The Bravura Macon dummy knobset is a cylindrical knobset used as a counterpart to functioning hardware or where a latch is not needed on a regular door.
