Bravura Oxford with Arched Trim Dummy Knobset, Grade 2

There is no latch and no moving mechanism. The Bravura Oxford Arched Trim knobset is a dummy, meaning the knob is fixed and surface mounted as a pull or as the counterpart to a working lockset on the other leaf of a pair. If you need the door to latch shut, a dummy is the wrong function.

Only if something else holds it. A dummy knob has no latch at all, so it will not keep a door shut on its own. On French doors or a closet pair the usual approach is a roller or ball catch plus the dummy knob for the pull. If the door has to latch, look at a passage function instead, like the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage knob or the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob.

It is built to exceed ANSI Grade 2 on the internal mechanics, but Bravura lists the Oxford as a residential product. For multi-family common areas or commercial openings where a spec calls out a commercial grade, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is the Grade 2 medium duty option, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty one.

The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the closest match on the two specs that matter here: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob in dummy function, the same grade and function as the Bravura Oxford dummy knobset. The Schlage A170 is rated heavy duty and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is also Grade 2 dummy function, rated medium duty. The Bravura Oxford is a solid brass residential-positioned set, so the choice comes down to whether you want matching residential styling or a commercial A-series or 6K-series trim on the door.

The Bravura Oxford Arched Trim knobset is dummy function, meaning it is a fixed pull with no latch, used as a counterpart to working hardware or where no latch is needed. For a closet door that must latch, go to a passage function knob: the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 passage cylindrical ball knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, or the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage knob for the same door thickness range. Each of those carries an operating latch and no key.

No. The Oxford is reversible, so one part number works on either hand of door and you do not have to specify handing when you order. Pick the finish and that is the only choice.

Solid brass. That matters on a dummy in particular, since the knob is handled constantly as a pull and the finish has nothing but the knob surface to wear against.

The Oxford dummy is a single dummy knobset, mounted on one face of the door. For a door that needs a knob on both sides with no latch, you would order two, or look at a factory dummy pair such as the Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg dummy pair or the Emtek Georgetown crystal dummy pair.

The Bravura Oxford Arched Trim dummy knobset is designated residential at Grade 2. For a commercial opening, Sargent, Schlage and Falcon publish heavier options: the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob lock, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core and a fire rating, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note these are latching or keyed functions, not dummy trim.

Two categories get confused with it. First, exit device and lever trim: the Sargent 28C-KNOB is knob-and-rose trim for a 28 Series exit device, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only for the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom knob trim for the ED-500 Series. Those mount to a device, not to a bored door prep. Second, keyed and privacy knobs such as the Kwikset 400P-CP Grade 3 keyed entry knob or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob carry working latches and locking mechanisms, where the Bravura Oxford is dummy function with no latch.

Four: US26 Polished Chrome, US19 Black, US15 Satin Nickel, and US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze. If you are matching existing openings, those are standard US finish codes, so a US15 Oxford dummy will sit alongside other US15 satin nickel hardware in the same building.

The Bravura Oxford dummy knobset is described as a counterpart to functioning door hardware, so the other doors typically take passage, privacy and entrance versions. Within the same residential-grade knob family, Callan publishes Grade 2 entrance knobsets in the Edgewood and Roland series, Roland in US15 Satin Nickel, which is one of the finishes the Oxford dummy is offered in alongside US26 Polished Chrome, US19 Black and US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze. For privacy and passage in a Grade 2 knob, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy and passage ball knob locks cover doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

Yes. The Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA Series covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty dummy knob. Both provide the same no-latch fixed knob the Bravura Oxford provides; the Oxford differs in being solid brass with arched trim and offered in four finishes including US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze and US19 Black.
