Callan KI5051R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Callan Kendall dummy lever actually latch, or is it just a pull?
It's trim only. The Kendall single dummy lever surface mounts to the door face with no latch, no spindle through the door, and no bore hardware. It gives you a lever to pull on inactive doors, closets, or the inactive leaf of a pair where you want the look to match but need no mechanical latching.
2) Does this dummy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The Kendall dummy is rated for doors 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, which covers standard residential interior doors as well as 1-3/4 inch slabs. Since it surface mounts, thickness only matters for the mounting screws, not a cross bore.
3) I need a lever on a door that actually latches and locks with a key - what should I use instead of the Callan Kendall dummy lever?
The Callan Kendall lever is a dummy function, meaning it is surface mounted with no latching function at all - it is decorative trim on an inactive leaf or closet door. For an opening that has to latch and accept a key, look at a keyed entry lever such as the Brinks Mendocino Series keyed entry contemporary lever with square rose, which comes with a 4 way adjustable latch and a round corner full lip strike, or the Brinks Raleigh Series keyed entry wave lever on a round rose with the same latch and strike. Those carry an entrance function and bore into the door with a latch and strike; the Kendall dummy does not.
4) Is the Callan Kendall dummy lever ADA compliant?
The Kendall lever meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is what you'd expect from a lever shape rather than a knob, since it needs no tight grasping or twisting to operate.
5) Will the Kendall dummy lever work on a left hand door, or do I need to order handing?
No handing to specify. The Kendall lever is fully reversible for left or right hand openings, and the single dummy can be mounted on either the interior or exterior face of the door.
6) Is a Grade 3 dummy lever strong enough for an apartment building?
The Kendall carries BHMA Grade 3, which is the residential duty level, and Callan lists it as residential product. For multi-family closet and inactive-leaf trim it's fine. For high-traffic commercial corridors or an institutional facility standardizing on Grade 1 or 2, spec a commercial lockset instead.
7) Can I use a Brinks Mendocino keyed entry lever on my inactive closet door in place of the Callan Kendall dummy?
You can, but it is more hardware than the opening needs and it changes the prep. The Brinks Mendocino Series lever is an entrance function with a 4 way adjustable latch and a round corner full lip strike, so the door needs a cross bore, a latch bore and a strike mortise in the jamb. The Callan Kendall dummy mounts to the door face with no latch and no strike at all, which is why it suits closets and inactive leaves. If the door is already bored for a cylindrical lockset, the Mendocino will fill it; if it is an unbored slab, the Kendall dummy is the simpler route.
8) I need a Grade 3 residential lever for a double door - do I order the Callan Kendall dummy for both leaves?
For a pair of doors, the active leaf normally takes a latching lever and the inactive leaf takes the dummy. The Callan Kendall is a Grade 3 residential dummy that includes one lever and rosette, is fully reversible for left or right hand, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so order one Kendall per inactive leaf. For the active leaf, a keyed entry lever such as the Brinks Raleigh Series with its 4 way adjustable latch and round corner full lip strike gives you the latching and keying the Kendall does not provide.
9) How far does the Callan Kendall lever stick out from the door?
Projection is 2 inches off the face of the door. Worth checking against wall clearance or an adjacent door in a tight closet return before you set the mounting location.
