Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim Dummy Leverset US4 Satin Brass Finish, Grade 2

A dummy lever doesn't latch and doesn't turn. It's a fixed pull mounted to the door face, used as the counterpart to a working lockset (the inactive leaf of a pair of French doors, a closet or pantry door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch) or anywhere no latch is needed at all. The Miramar dummy in US4 satin brass exists so that second door matches the operating one. If you need the lever to retract a latch, you want a passage function instead, not this.

No handing to call out. The Miramar is reversible, so the same lever works on a left hand or right hand door. That's a difference worth knowing if you're cross-shopping: Baldwin's Estate 5103 half dummy is sold as a left hand part and a right hand part, so with those you have to pick the correct side when you order.

Bravura's Miramar is built to residential duty, and the grade 2 claim covers the internal mechanics. For apartment interiors, model units and light common areas that's fine. For a school, hospital or heavy traffic commercial corridor, step up to a heavy duty dummy trim: the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 dummy lever. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT sits in between at Grade 2 medium duty.

It comes down to whether the door needs to stay shut on its own. A dummy has no latch, so the door needs a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch to hold it closed. If there's no catch and you want the door to stay put, use a passage lever with a live latch instead, like the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage or the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage. Use the dummy where the door is already held by a catch, is fixed, or is the inactive half of a pair.

The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim dummy leverset is a Grade 2 cylindrical dummy. For a Grade 1 dummy lever in the same cylindrical family, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock. Both carry no latch, the same as the Miramar dummy, and are built for the higher-cycle openings a Grade 1 spec calls for.

The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim dummy is a dummy function - it is a counterpart to functioning hardware, or is used where a latch is not needed, so it does not operate a latchbolt. Where the door has to latch shut without keying, a passage lever is the swap: the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and 4601LN are Grade 2 passage/hall/closet levers, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design.

Two Grade 2 dummy levers sit at the same grade and function as the Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim: the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim, which is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty dummy. Any of the three gives you a non-functioning lever with no latch at Grade 2. The Miramar is a solid brass residential lever offered in US4 satin brass, so match the finish and lever style to the rest of the openings when you pick between them.

No. The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim is a dummy - it is used where a latch is not needed, so there is nothing to push, turn, or lock. A bed or bath opening takes a privacy function: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose, the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock, or the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set, a Grade 3 privacy lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Miramar can still be used on the fixed or closet leaf of the same job to keep the lever style consistent.

The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim is a Grade 2 residential leverset. For commercial and institutional openings, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors; the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a keyed classroom opening, the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

No latch prep. A dummy has no latch and no chassis running through the door, so there's nothing to bore a cross bore or edge bore for. It mounts to the face of the door. That makes it the usual pick for a slab that was never prepped, or for the inactive leaf where you don't want to cut a latch pocket into the frame.

US4 satin brass is the only finish the Miramar dummy comes in, and it's solid brass rather than plated pot metal. US4 is the BHMA finish designation for satin brass, so it lines up with hinges, deadbolts and pulls carrying the same US4 or 606 callout on the other openings in the building.

The Miramar dummy is the non-operating half of the set, so for the active leaf you need a passage, privacy or entry function in the same trim. Matching within Bravura's Miramar family is the way to keep the lever shape and the rectangle rose identical. If you're building a mixed set from another brand instead, Baldwin's Estate 5103 is offered in passage, privacy and dummy on the same 5048 rose, so all three openings look alike.

The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim dummy is a single dummy leverset. Where the opening needs matching dummy trim on two leaves, the Emtek Arts & Crafts and Hammered dummy levers and the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina dummy lever are each supplied as a dummy pair. Baldwin also splits its Estate 5103 half dummy into a left hand and a right hand version, so a pair of those covers both leaves with the handing called out per leaf.

The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim dummy carries no cylinder, so the keyed opening on the same job needs a separate entry lever. Options at the same Grade 2 include the Hager 2525 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B511CP6D medium duty entry/office lever, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset. At Grade 3, the Callan Artino entrance leverset and the Master Lock RL Series return style keyed entry lockset cover the same function.

They fill the same role - a lever with no latch - but they are described differently. The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim is catalogued as a dummy leverset in one US4 satin brass finish. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is sold as a half dummy lever with the 5048 rose and is ordered by hand, left or right, which the Miramar is not. If you are ordering Baldwin against a Miramar opening, you have to pick the handing per leaf; with the Miramar you order the finish.

The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim is a mechanical dummy lever with no latch and no credential of any kind. A keypad lever is a different product entirely: the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those control access; the Miramar only provides matching trim on an opening that does not need to latch.

It depends on whether the door has to stay shut. The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim dummy has no latch, so it suits a fixed or inactive closet leaf held by a catch or roller. If the closet door needs a latch that holds it closed, use a passage lever - the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Hager 2510 Withnell is a Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a locked utility or storage room, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt.

The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim is a Grade 2 residential dummy in solid brass, which suits unit doors and interior openings. Where the same portfolio has commercial corridors, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty dummy in the same style of trim, so a BEST pairing lets you hold one lever appearance across two duty levels. The Accentra 455LN Augusta covers the Grade 1 heavy duty dummy in the 5400 Series if the rest of the building is already Accentra.

No - they solve different problems. The Bravura Miramar with Rectangle Trim is a cylindrical dummy leverset that mounts to the door face on a standard bored prep. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical lock series, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in the ED-500 Series - both are trim for an exit device, not a standalone lever for a bored door.

Grade 2 is the ANSI/BHMA performance tier that sits between light residential Grade 3 and heavy commercial Grade 1. Bravura states the Miramar exceeds Grade 2 on its internal mechanics. On a dummy the grade tells you more about build and the trim than about cycle life, since nothing retracts. Where it does matter is consistency: if the operating locks on the job are Grade 2, a Grade 2 dummy keeps the whole set at one standard. Callan's Bentley dummy is another Grade 2 option; the Grade 1 dummies are the BEST 9K 1DT and the Accentra 455LN.
