Callan 374154 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a dummy handleset like the Callan Briona actually do, and do I still need a working lock on that door?
A dummy handleset has no latch and no moving lock. The Briona dummy is a pull only, mounted as the counterpart to functioning hardware or on an opening where nothing needs to latch. Typical uses are the inactive leaf of a double door, a French door pair where one leaf is bolted, or a closet or pantry door held by a ball catch or magnetic catch. If the door has to latch or lock, this is the wrong part and you want a keyed or passage handleset instead.
2) What holes does the Callan Briona handleset need bored in the door?
Door prep is 2-1/8 inch cross bore for the handleset and 2-1/8 inch for the deadbolt position, a 1 inch edge bore, a 1 x 2-1/4 inch latch face, and 5-1/2 inch center to center between the two bores. That 5-1/2 inch spacing is the number to check first: it is standard residential handleset spacing, so on a door already prepped for a handleset the Briona lands on the existing holes.
3) Do I have to order the Callan Briona dummy handleset left hand or right hand?
Handing is required, and it is set on the interior trim, not the exterior grip. You pick Left Hand or Right Hand when ordering. Stand outside the door: the side the hinges are on is the hand. The exterior plate itself works on either a left or right handed door, so the handing choice only governs which way the interior knob or lever is oriented.
4) Is the Callan Briona handleset rated for a commercial building or an apartment entry?
Residential, Grade 3. That is fine for a single family entry or the inactive leaf of a home front door pair. For a multi-family entry door or anything on a commercial opening seeing real traffic, step up: the Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville, Austin and Montgomery handlesets are all Grade 2, as is the Delaney Katana handleset.
5) I need a handleset that actually locks, not a dummy. What should I buy instead?
For a keyed entry in the same residential Grade 3 class, the Delaney Avino single cylinder handleset with interior trim is the direct step across. If you want Grade 2, the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset or the Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville and Austin handlesets with the 906-Macon interior knob all key. The Bravura Montgomery pairs a 939-Charlotte lever inside if you want a lever rather than a knob on the room side.
6) I am doing a French door pair, one leaf active. What do I order for each side?
The Briona dummy goes on the inactive leaf, since it has no latch and the leaf is held by flush bolts or a surface bolt into the head and sill. The active leaf needs a functioning set. Match it with the Delaney Avino Grade 3 single cylinder handleset for a keyed active leaf, or add a Delaney Traditional Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt (cylinder outside, thumbturn inside) above it. Order the dummy handing opposite the active leaf so both interior knobs face the same way.
7) Will the Briona dummy handleset drop into a door already bored for an old handleset?
It comes down to the two numbers. If the existing prep is 2-1/8 inch cross bores at 5-1/2 inch center to center, the Briona lands on them. If the old set used a different spacing, common on some import and older handlesets, the plate will not cover and you are patching or replacing the door. Measure center of the deadbolt bore to center of the grip bore before you order.
8) What is the closest alternative to the Callan Briona handleset with interior trim from another brand?
The Delaney Avino is the nearest match. Both the Callan Briona and the Delaney Avino 400-AV are Grade 3 handlesets sold with interior trim, so the exterior grip plus inside knob or lever arrives as one assembly in either case. The difference is function: the Briona is a dummy, meaning it is a pull with no latch mechanism behind it, while the Avino is a single cylinder handleset that locks and latches. On a pair of doors where one leaf is active and one is fixed, the Avino goes on the active leaf and the Briona goes on the fixed one.
9) Is a passage lock the same thing as a dummy handleset?
No, and they are not interchangeable. A passage set such as the Schlage F10 Accent lever or the Schlage J10 Builders Basics knob has a working latch that retracts when the handle is turned - it holds the door closed without locking. The Callan Briona is dummy function, a counterpart to functioning hardware used where a latch is not needed, so it is fixed and pulls only. If the door needs to stay shut on its own, the passage set is the part; if the door is held by a flush bolt, a ball catch, or is a fixed inactive leaf, the dummy is the part.
10) What interior knob choices come with the Briona handleset?
Four interior trims, and you must choose one: Santo Knob, Canova Knob, Sorado Knob, or Artino. The trim is part of the order, not a separate purchase, so the handleset arrives as a matched exterior plate and interior set.
11) Can I install this handleset on a metal door, or is it wood only?
Both. Combination screws for wood and for metal doors are in the box, so no separate fastener pack is needed. Construction is all metal with a one piece design, and the spring assembly is reinforced to keep the knob or lever from sagging over time, which is the usual failure on a dummy pull that gets grabbed daily.
12) I just need a knob on a closet or hall door, not a full handleset. Is the Briona overkill?
Yes, for a closet the handleset plate is a lot of hardware and it needs the 5-1/2 inch two bore prep. A single bore passage set is the simpler buy: the Schlage Residential J10 Builders Basics passage knob fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors on a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch adjustable backset, and the Schlage F10 Accent passage lever is the Grade 2 lever version over the same thickness range. For a decorative knob, the Emtek Select Brass conical stem dark walnut knob is a passage function too.
13) What is the difference between the Callan Briona handleset and the Bravura Savannah or Jacksonville handlesets?
Grade and configuration. The Callan Briona is Grade 3, while the Bravura 913-Savannah and 915-Jacksonville are Grade 2, as are the 971-Austin and the 973-Montgomery. The Bravura sets are specified as a named exterior handle plus a named interior plate and trim - the 913, 915 and 971 pair a 615 interior plate with the 906-Macon interior knob, and the 973-Montgomery pairs a 672 interior plate with the 939-Charlotte interior lever. The Briona is ordered with the interior trim chosen from Santo Knob, Canova Knob, Sorado Knob or Artino, and with the interior trim handing called out left hand or right hand.
14) Can I use a dummy handleset where I only need to add a deadbolt to a door?
No - those solve different problems. The Callan Briona is a dummy, a counterpart to functioning door hardware, and provides no bolt. For deadbolt-only security, the Delaney Traditional 200-B and the Delaney Contemporary 200-LTR are both Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolts with cylinder by thumbturn function, matching the Briona on Grade 3. The Briona door prep does include a 2-1/8 inch deadbolt cross bore alongside the 2-1/8 inch handleset cross bore, so a separate deadbolt can occupy the upper bore above the dummy grip.
15) I have a closet or pantry door that just needs a pull - is a knob a simpler option than a handleset?
It can be. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is passage function - hall and closet duty - and the Schlage J10 Builders Basics knob is Grade 3 hall and closet passage with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch adjustable backset. Both are knob-only and need the standard bore, no full handleset plate. The Callan Briona covers the case where the door needs the look of a full exterior grip without any working latch, and its prep includes a 5-1/2 inch center to center mounting spread, so it is the choice when matching an adjacent operating handleset in appearance matters more than the smaller footprint.
16) For a residential entry, what is the difference between a Grade 3 handleset like the Callan Briona and the Grade 2 options?
ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 hardware is built to a higher cycle and strength threshold than Grade 3. The Callan Briona is Grade 3 and specified as residential. Among handlesets, the Delaney Katana 400-KA and the four Bravura sets - 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville, 971-Austin and 973-Montgomery - are Grade 2, while the Delaney Avino 400-AV is Grade 3. On a single-family front door the Grade 3 dummy is a common match for the traffic; on a multi-family or high-turnover opening, buyers standardizing a fleet often step up to Grade 2 across every door.
17) We are moving to credential-based access on our entries - does a dummy handleset work with that?
A dummy has no latch and no credential reader, so it cannot control access on its own. For electronic access on an opening, the Paxton PaxLock Pro 900-620WT-US is a lever latch lock with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, battery power, UL and FCC listed, sized for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Callan Briona still has a role in that program on inactive leaves and fixed panels, where the controlled hardware goes on the active leaf and the dummy provides the matching grip alongside it.
18) Does a dummy handleset need to be handed like a passage or entry lock does?
Handing still matters on the interior trim. The Callan Briona is ordered with the interior trim handing specified left hand or right hand, and the interior trim itself chosen from Santo Knob, Canova Knob, Sorado Knob or Artino. The Schlage F10 Accent passage lever, by contrast, is a lever passage set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Bravura handlesets are configured by naming the interior plate and trim, such as the 615 plate with the 906-Macon knob. Confirm the swing direction before ordering the Briona so the interior trim lands correctly against the frame.
19) What finishes does the Callan Briona handleset come in?
Two: US19 Black and US10BE Edged Bronze. Both are dark finishes, so on a house already running oil rubbed or matte black entry hardware the Briona dummy will read as a match on the inactive leaf rather than standing out against the working handleset next to it.
20) The Briona dummy comes with a strike plate, but does a dummy need one?
No latch means nothing strikes, so on a pure dummy application the plate is not doing security work. The reason it ships is that the Briona is prepped for the full handleset pattern, deadbolt cross bore included, so the reinforced strike is there for the deadbolt position if the opening carries one. On an inactive leaf held by flush bolts you can leave it in the box.
