Callan Brayden - Grade 3 Dummy Knob

A dummy knob is fixed trim. The Brayden dummy knob doesn't turn a latch or retract anything, so it's used where no latching is needed, or as the matching counterpart on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors. Typical spots are closet doors held shut by a ball catch or magnetic catch, false doors, and french door pairs where only one leaf operates. If the door has to latch shut, you need a passage function instead.

The Callan Brayden dummy knob is a Grade 3 residential cylindrical knob. For a heavier-duty dummy trim, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical knob in the A Series, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty knob. Both keep the same non-latching dummy function while moving up in BHMA grade.

Comparable residential-style dummy knobs include the Bravura Biloxi with round trim dummy knobset, a Grade 2 dummy, and the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob from the Barrington BA series, which fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All three are non-latching dummy trim used where a knob is needed but no latch is.

The Brayden is dummy function, so it has no latch. For a latching hall or closet door, the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset is a Grade 3 passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Bravura Albany round trim knobset is a Grade 2 passage. For a bed or bath door, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy is the Grade 3 privacy version.

No. Dummy trim mounts to the door face only, so there is no latch and no edge bore to drill. The description's mention of a round corner faceplate and 1/2 inch throw applies to the Brayden series latch used on the functioning versions, not to the dummy. If you are replacing a working knob with dummy trim, you will be left with an open latch bore and strike cutout to deal with.

Neither. The Brayden is fully reversible, so the same part covers left- and right-handed openings. Handing is one less thing to get wrong when you're ordering several at once for a building.

You'd need two, since the Brayden dummy is sold as single trim per finish, not as a pair. If you want a factory pair in one order, the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence dummy knobs are all supplied as pairs.

The Brayden dummy will not latch anything, so for an operating door you need a passage, privacy or entrance function knob in the same series and finish. Callan builds the Brayden line with a round corner latch faceplate and a 1/2 inch throw on the functioning versions, which is the standard residential latch prep.

Both are single dummy knob trim. The Omnia 458/0 is a solid brass dummy latchset listed with a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Omnia 442/00 is a solid brass single dummy with a 2-5/8 inch rose. The Callan Brayden is made of zinc and is fully reversible for left or right hand applications.

The Callan Brayden is Grade 3. Other Grade 3 knob functions that can round out the same opening list include the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office with Kwikset keyway, the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy with brass trim, and the Delaney Belton and Galway Grade 3 entrance knobsets. The Cal-Royal Grade 3 knobs fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

Yes, it's built for single-person installation, and because the dummy mounts to the door face there's no latch to align or strike to shim. Handy when you're doing a run of closet or pair doors in an apartment turnover.
