Bravura Orlando with Round Trim Dummy Leverset, Grade 2

A dummy lever is fixed trim. The Bravura Orlando dummy has no latch and no working mechanism behind it, so there is nothing to retract and nothing to lock. It mounts as a pull or a visual counterpart to a functioning lever on the other leaf, or on a door that is held shut by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnet. If you need the lever to retract a latch, order the passage version instead.

That is what it is for. Because a dummy carries no latch, it does not need a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset bore edge prep, only the face fixing for the rose. It is the usual pick for inactive French door leaves, closet and pantry doors, and any opening where a catch keeps the door closed.

No handing to specify. The Orlando lever is reversible, so one part number covers both left and right hand doors. That is different from something like the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered as a specific left hand or right hand item.

It is classed residential, with internal mechanics that exceed ANSI Grade 2 standards. For single family homes, condo interiors, and light multi-family interior doors it is appropriate. For a commercial corridor or an institutional opening, step up to a heavy duty dummy trim such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT, which is Grade 1 heavy duty, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT at Grade 2 medium duty.

The Bravura Orlando round trim dummy leverset is a Grade 2 residential leverset. For a heavier commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1 and heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series is Grade 1 heavy duty as well. Both perform the same non-latching dummy role at a higher ANSI grade.

The Bravura Orlando dummy leverset has no latch; it is a counterpart to functioning hardware or is used where a latch is not needed. If the door needs a latching lever with no lock, a passage function lever is the right part: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is Grade 2 passage/closet, the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever is Grade 2 passage and non-keyed, and the Hager 2510 Withnell is Grade 2 passage for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

Three: US15 Satin Nickel, US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze, and US19 Black. If you are matching a dummy to an active lever on a pair of doors, pick the finish already on the working leaf, since Orlando dummies are commonly bought to pair with functioning Orlando trim.

The Orlando dummy is built as the counterpart to functioning Orlando trim, so the cleanest match is a functioning Orlando lever in the same finish. If you are specifying a whole house from scratch and want one family across dummy, passage and privacy, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is sold in all three (passage, privacy, and half dummy), and the Emtek Classic Cortina is offered as a dummy pair.

The Bravura Orlando with round trim is a dummy leverset in the residential Grade 2 range. If you need matched dummy trim on both faces, Emtek offers dummy pairs: the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair are all sold as pairs for that application.

The Bravura Orlando dummy leverset is a Grade 2 residential trim. Where the opening calls for a fire rated lever, peers that carry a fire rating include the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

The Bravura Orlando dummy leverset is described as reversible. Baldwin takes a different approach on the Estate 5103 with 5048 rose, which is catalogued as separate left hand and right hand half dummy levers, so handing must be specified at the time of order on that line.

The Bravura Orlando dummy leverset is a non-latching counterpart, so a privacy function lever is the separate part for a bed or bath door. The Hager 2540 Withnell privacy lever is Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose covers the decorative side.

Keyed and keypad leversets look similar but serve a different opening than the Bravura Orlando dummy, which has no latch. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock - all require a latch bore and prep the dummy does not use.

Solid brass, finished in satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze, or black. Brass under the plating is what lets an oil rubbed bronze finish wear in rather than flake off the way a coated zinc lever does.

It is a lever with a round rose, not a knob. Lever trim is the form most spec writers call for on accessible openings because it operates without grasping or twisting. Note that as dummy trim it does not operate a latch, so it is chosen for appearance and as a pull rather than for door operation.

The Bravura Orlando dummy leverset is Grade 2 with a solid brass build. If a lighter residential lever suits the opening, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Note that both are passage function with a latch rather than dummy trim.
