Callan AH5051 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Callan Asheville dummy lever have a latch, or is it just trim?
No latch. The Asheville dummy is a surface mounted lever with a rosette and no latching mechanism at all, so it does not hold a door closed. It's the right part for an inactive leaf of a pair, a closet door, or a false door where you want the handle to match but the door is held by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnet. If you need the door to latch, order an entrance or passage function lever instead.
2) How many levers come with the Callan Asheville dummy, one side or both?
One lever and one rosette per unit. It's a single dummy, so it dresses one face of the door only. If you want a handle on both sides of an inactive door, you need two of them.
3) Is the Callan Asheville dummy lever ADA compliant and what grade is it?
It meets ADA requirements, which for a lever means no tight grasping or wrist twisting to operate, and it meets BHMA Grade 3. Grade 3 is the residential duty level, and Callan lists the Asheville as a residential product, so for a commercial opening on a graded spec you want a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical lever instead.
4) Can a Brinks Mendocino keyed entry lever be used in place of a Callan Asheville dummy lever?
No. The Callan Asheville lever is a dummy function, meaning it is surface mounted with no latch and does not turn to retract anything. The Brinks Mendocino Series lever is an entrance function with a keyed cylinder, a 4 way adjustable latch and a round corner full lip strike, so it needs a bored door with latch and strike prep. Use the Asheville dummy where the door is inactive or decorative trim is all that is needed, and the Mendocino where the opening actually has to latch and lock.
5) What lever should go on the active leaf when the Callan Asheville dummy is on the inactive leaf of a double door?
The Asheville dummy carries no latch, so it suits only the inactive leaf. For the active leaf that has to latch and key, a keyed entry lever such as the Brinks Mendocino Series with a square rose or the Brinks Raleigh Series with a round rose covers that side; both are entrance function and both ship with a 4 way adjustable latch and a round corner full lip strike. Match the rose shape to the trim look you want on the pair.
6) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Asheville dummy lever?
Neither, one part covers both. The Asheville dummy is fully reversible for left or right hand openings, and it can be mounted on the interior or exterior face. Set the handing at install rather than at the order form.
7) Does a dummy lever need a bored hole in the door?
The Asheville dummy mounts to the surface of the door, not through a prepped bore, so it goes onto a blank door face. That makes it the usual choice on an inactive leaf that was never drilled, and it's a one person install.
8) What is the difference between the Brinks Mendocino and Brinks Raleigh levers when matching trim to a Callan Asheville dummy?
Both are keyed entry levers, so both differ from the Asheville in function - the Asheville is a dummy. Between the two Brinks options, the Mendocino Series pairs a contemporary lever with a square rose, while the Raleigh Series pairs a transitional wave lever with a round rose. The Asheville dummy is supplied with one lever and a rosette, so if the rest of the doors are getting round roses the Raleigh is the closer visual match.
9) Can I use dummy levers to match the rest of the doors in a unit turn?
That's the usual use for it. On a fleet of units the dummy carries the same Asheville lever and rosette as the functioning hardware, so closet and inactive doors read identically to the entry and passage doors without paying for a latch you don't need. Screws are exposed rather than concealed, so the fasteners will show on the rose.
