Bravura Raleigh with Square Trim Dummy Leverset, Grade 2

A dummy lever like the Bravura Raleigh has no latch and no moving mechanism. It mounts to the door face as a fixed pull. Use it on a closet door held shut by a magnet or roller catch, on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors, or as the matching counterpart to a functioning lever elsewhere so the openings look alike. If the door has to latch, you need a passage or privacy lever instead.

Neither. A dummy has no latch running into the door edge, so there is no backset to match. It fastens through the door face only, which is why it can go on doors that were never bored for a lockset.

It's reversible, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door. You don't order a hand. That's a difference from something like the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is sold as a specific left hand or right hand part.

The Callan Bentley dummy lever (CLN-BN5051) is the closest match in the same class: a Grade 2 dummy lever, the same non-latching function as the Bravura Raleigh Square Trim dummy, which is also Grade 2. The difference is the trim design - Raleigh with square rose versus the Bentley lever styling - so the choice comes down to matching the lever look on the surrounding doors.

The Bravura Raleigh Square Trim dummy is rated for residential use at Grade 2. For a commercial door, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. All three are dummy function, so the opening detail does not change - only the duty class of the trim.

A dummy is a counterpart trim with no latch, so if the door has to latch you need a passage lever instead. In the same Grade 2 class, options include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta passage/closet lever, the Accentra 4601LN passage lever with Augusta trim, the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever passage lock, and the Hager 2510 Withnell passage lever, which lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range.

The Raleigh dummy is a single-sided trim, one lever on one face. For a double door or a French pair where you want a lever on both faces, order two, or look at a factory pair like the Emtek Arts & Crafts or Cortina dummy sets, which are sold as pairs.

The Raleigh is a series, and the square trim dummy is the no-latch member of it. Match a dummy on the closet to functioning Raleigh levers on the bedroom and bath doors and the trim reads identically down the hall, which is exactly what the dummy function exists for.

Same grade class, different look: the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever, or the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim, a medium duty Grade 2 non-keyed unit. The Bentley is the closer match for residential trim; the 7KC is commercial-styled cylindrical trim.

Not necessarily. The Bravura Raleigh Square Trim is a dummy leverset used as a counterpart to functioning hardware or where no latch is needed. Baldwin's Estate 5103 is offered as a handed half dummy in left hand (5103-LDM) and right hand (5103-RDM) versions with the 5048 rose, so a half dummy order requires you to state handing. Emtek's Arts and Crafts and Classic Cortina dummy levers are sold as pairs, which is what you want when both faces of a door need trim.

The Raleigh Square Trim dummy has no locking mechanism at all, so a privacy function has to come from a different lockset. Comparable privacy levers include the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set, which fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors at Grade 3. The Hager 2540 with Withnell lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors at Grade 2.

All are non-latching dummy trim. The Bravura Raleigh with Square Trim is a solid brass residential Grade 2 lever offered in US19 Black, US15 Satin Nickel, US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze and US26 Polished Chrome. Emtek's dummy levers come as design families - Arts and Crafts, Hammered, and Classic Cortina - sold in pairs, while Baldwin's Estate 5103 dummy uses the 5048 rose and is ordered by hand. The practical difference is rose shape and how many trims you get per order.

No - a dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a closet or hall door use a passage lever such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 medium duty passage lever or the Design Hardware J75 Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a utility or service room that must stay secured, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt.

Solid brass. That's the reason the finishes hold up on a frequently touched closet or pantry door, and it's a material step above the plated zinc trim typical of builder-grade residential dummy levers.
