Bravura BV936-252 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Bravura Nashville passage knobset fit a 2-inch thick door?
Door thickness range on the Nashville knobset runs 1-3/8 inches through 2 inches as supplied, and extension kits cover 2-1/4 inch and 2-1/2 inch doors. That range is wider than most residential passage knobs, so an older solid-core or built-up door that other knobsets top out short of is still in range here.
2) What door prep does the Nashville knobset need, and will it drop into an existing knob hole?
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 cylindrical knob in the trade uses, so a door already bored for a knobset takes the Nashville without new holes as long as the backset matches. Watch the latch face shape though, the Nashville latch faceplate has round corners, so a door mortised for a square-corner faceplate needs the corners squared or the mortise dressed.
3) Do I need to pick a backset when ordering the Bravura Nashville knob?
Yes, backset is a required choice: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore. 2-3/8 is the usual residential backset and 2-3/4 shows up on thicker doors and commercial-prepped openings. Order the wrong one and the latch will not reach the bore.
4) Will the Nashville knob latch into the strike plate that's already in my door frame?
The latch has a 1/2 inch solid brass throw, which is standard for a passage latch, so it will engage a strike already set for a bored knobset. You do not have to reuse the old strike either, both a full lip round corner strike (9103) and a square corner strike (9102) are supplied, so whichever corner your frame mortise has, the matching plate is in the box.
5) Does a passage knob lock, and where should I actually be using one?
A passage knob has no locking mechanism at all. Both knobs turn freely from either side at all times, which is what you want on hallways, closets, laundry rooms and pantry doors. It will not do for a bathroom or bedroom, that needs a privacy function with a push button or turn, and it will not secure an exterior door on its own. Plenty of installs pair a passage knob with a separate deadbolt on a back door so the deadbolt does the securing and the knob is just the pull and latch.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Bravura Nashville passage knobset from a commercial lock brand?
The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is a Grade 2 passage knobset, so the nearest like-for-like swaps are the Corbin Russwin CK4410, a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob, and the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 passage cylindrical ball knob lock. Both carry the same Grade 2 rating and the same passage/hall/closet function, so the door needs no locking hardware in either case. The difference is trim style: the Nashville uses an arched decorative trim, while the CK4410 and C2000 use a plain commercial knob and rose.
7) What passage knob should I use on a high traffic commercial corridor instead of a Grade 2 residential knobset?
The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is a Grade 2 knobset built for residential use. For a corridor that sees constant institutional traffic, the Grade 1 passage knobsets are the step up: the Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical knob lock with an Orbit knob, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that is fire rated and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. All three hold the same passage function, so the opening operates identically.
8) The door needs to lock for a bedroom or bathroom, is the Nashville passage knobset the wrong choice?
Yes. The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is passage function, which has no locking mechanism at all - both knobs are always free. For a bed or bath opening you want a privacy knob such as the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 privacy cylindrical ball knob lock, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 privacy knob lockset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, or the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob privacy lock with 5148 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike.
9) Can I use a dummy knob in place of a passage knobset on a closet door?
Not interchangeably. The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is a passage set with a working latch - a 1/2 inch solid brass throw bolt with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch round corner faceplate - so the door latches shut. A dummy such as the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 single dummy trim, or the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset is surface trim with no latch and no bored crossbore function, used on a door held by a ball catch or roller catch or on an inactive leaf.
10) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch, which passage knobs cover that?
The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch as standard, with extension kits available for 2-1/4 inch and 2-1/2 inch doors. Among the commercial passage knobs, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Falcon X101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Arrow MK01 and RK01 passage knobs and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 stop at 1-3/4 inch, so they will not reach a thicker slab.
11) For a storeroom or supply closet, is a passage knob the right function?
No. A passage knob such as the Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim leaves both sides free and cannot secure a room. For a storeroom the function to specify is a storeroom knob lock: the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
12) Do I have to order the Nashville knob left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The Nashville passage knobset is reversible, so one part number covers a left or right hand door swing and you sort it out at the door rather than at the order form. That is useful when you are buying a run of them for a building and do not want to count swings.
13) Is a Grade 2 knobset like the Nashville good enough for an apartment building or rental turnover?
The Nashville is built to exceed ANSI Grade 2 on the internal mechanics but is classified as residential duty, so it suits apartments, condos and single family rentals rather than a school corridor or a busy commercial lobby. If the opening is high-traffic commercial, step up to a Grade 1 passage knob such as the Schlage D10S or the Falcon X101, both heavy duty; the Falcon X101 also takes an interchangeable core if the rest of the building is keyed on an IC system.
14) What's the closest alternative to the Bravura Nashville passage knob if I want a commercial-rated one?
For a like-for-like Grade 2 passage knob in a commercial line, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 with the Global knob covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 over the same thickness range. The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 passage knob that carries a fire rating, which matters if the opening is a rated corridor or stairwell door. Note all three top out at 1-3/4 or below on stated thickness, so on a 2 inch door the Bravura's 1-3/8 to 2 inch range is what covers you.
15) I need matching hardware on a closet door that doesn't latch. Is the Nashville passage knob the right part?
No. A passage knobset includes a working latch and needs a bored door. For a closet slab, a false door, or the inactive leaf of a pair where nothing has to latch, you want a dummy knob instead. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, the BEST 6K single dummy is a Grade 2 medium duty option, and the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Those mount to the face of the door with no bore and no latch.
16) Can I get a UL listed latch with the Bravura Nashville knobset?
The Nashville latch is offered in drive-in or UL versions. The drive-in latch has no faceplate to mortise and taps straight into the edge bore, which is faster on a retrofit; the UL version is the one to specify when the opening calls for a listed latch. Both use the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore prep.
17) What is a lower cost alternative to a Grade 2 passage knobset for interior apartment doors?
The Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in passage function is a Grade 3 knobset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike for interior hall and closet openings. Both perform the same always-free passage function as the Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim, which is Grade 2. The Grade 2 rating reflects a higher ANSI cycle and strength tier than Grade 3, which matters most where the same closet or hall door is used many times a day.
18) I need this same knob style on the entry door with a key, what do I order?
The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is passage only, so the keyed openings in the same job take a different set. Options include the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a Global knob and conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical ball knob lock, and the Callan Edgewood Grade 2 entrance knobset. The Nashville description also notes that a passage set paired with a separate deadbolt is a common way to secure a back door or entrance.
19) What is the difference between the Arrow MK01 and RK01 passage knobs when cross shopping a decorative passage set?
Both the Arrow MK01 and the Arrow RK01 are Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob locks for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch; the MK01 is from the MK Series and the RK01 is from the RK Series with a ball knob. They share the Grade 2 rating and passage/hall/closet function of the Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim, which is the Nashville series with arched decorative trim and a solid brass reversible chassis.
20) Is there a decorative solid brass passage knob alternative rather than a commercial one?
Yes. The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore 2 inch knob with 5048 rose passage lock, which comes with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, are both passage function decorative sets. The Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is solid brass with a 3 inch projection in passage/hall/closet function. The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is also solid brass and reversible, and ships with both a full lip round corner strike (9103) and a square corner strike (9102).
21) Can a keyless combination knob replace a passage knobset on a back door?
Only if the opening needs access control. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch - the passage reference there describes the latch behavior, but the knob is code restricted rather than always free. The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim has no locking mechanism, so both knobs turn freely at all times. Choose the Lockey where entry must be limited by a code and the Nashville where the door only needs to latch.
22) Which satin nickel Grade 2 knobsets are comparable if I am standardizing finishes across a building?
The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is offered in US15 Satin Nickel, US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze, US19 Black, and US26 Polished Chrome. The Callan Roland is a Grade 2 knobset in US15 Satin Nickel, though it is entrance function rather than passage, so it covers the keyed openings in a satin nickel package while the Nashville covers the halls and closets in the same finish.
23) Does a classroom function knob work where a passage knob is specified?
They are not substitutes. The Dexter C2000 Series classroom cylindrical ball knob lock is Grade 2, keyed and non-clutching for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and it is locked and unlocked from the outside with a key. The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is Grade 2 passage, non-locking, and intended for hallways, closets, and anywhere a lock is not needed.
24) What finishes does the Bravura Nashville knobset come in?
Four finishes: US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze and US19 Black. If you are matching existing hardware across a building, US15 and US26 are the two brights, and US10B and US19 are the darks, with US10B carrying the warm brown tone and US19 being flat black.
25) What is the Nashville knob made of, and will the finish hold up on a rental?
Solid brass construction on the Nashville, not a plated zinc casting, which is the difference you feel in the weight of the knob and how the finish wears at the edges where hands land. The knob has arched trim, so the rose and shank carry a shaped profile rather than a flat disc.
26) What passage knob comes as a combo pack so the entry and interior doors key and match together?
The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which suits a whole opening set bought at once. The Bravura Nashville with Arched Trim is ordered as a single passage set with the backset selected at 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, and it supplies both the round corner (9103) and square corner (9102) strikes so the existing strike prep is covered either way.
