Delaney Hardware D15820 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Delaney Derby dummy knob have a latch, or is it just a knob on a plate?
No latch and no lock. The Derby single dummy is a non-functioning knob on a rose, used as a push/pull pull on an interior door. The box gives you the knob and plate for one side of the door, a dummy spindle, and mounting screws. If the door needs to latch shut, you need a passage set instead.
2) Is the Delaney Derby dummy knob one knob or a pair for both sides of the door?
One side only. It is a single dummy, with the knob and plate for one face of the door. For a double door or a closet pair where you want a knob on each face, order two, or look at a factory dummy pair such as the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy pair or the Emtek Georgetown crystal dummy pair, which ship two knobs per set.
3) I need a knob that actually latches on a hall or closet door, not a dummy. What should I order?
A dummy like the Derby won't hold the door closed. For a latching non-keyed interior door, look at a passage knobset: the Pamex FTF Baron passage is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 passage is Grade 2 over the same thickness range, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 passage knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
4) Our facility spec calls for a commercial grade dummy trim. Does the Delaney Derby meet that, or is there a higher grade option?
The Delaney Derby is a Grade 3 dummy knobset designated for residential use. If a specification calls for a commercial grade dummy trim, the Schlage A170 Single Dummy Trim is Grade 2 and heavy duty, and the BEST 6K Series Single Dummy Trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Both are cylindrical dummy knob trims in the same single-side application.
5) What is a direct alternative to the Delaney Derby dummy knobset for a single-side dummy application?
The Delaney Derby is a dummy function knobset for one side of the door. Other single dummy knob options include the Bravura Biloxi with Round Trim Dummy Knobset, which is Grade 2, the BEST 6K Series Single Dummy Trim, also Grade 2 and medium duty, and the Schlage A170 Single Dummy Trim, a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical dummy knob. The Cal-Royal BA40 Dummy Knob is another cylindrical dummy knob, listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.
6) The door actually needs a working latch, not a dummy. What knobset should I use in place of the Delaney Derby?
The Derby has no latch and no lock, so a door that needs to stay closed needs a passage knobset instead. Grade 3 passage options include the Pamex FTF Baron Knob Lockset in passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Grade 2 passage knobs include the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg with Round Trim, the Dexter C2000 Passage Ball Knob, and the Arrow MK01. For a heavy duty passage latch, the Schlage D10S is Grade 1.
7) We need a fire rated knob lock on a labeled door. Is the Delaney Derby dummy knobset appropriate?
The Delaney Derby is a Grade 3 residential dummy knobset with no latch, so it does not serve a labeled door that must latch. Falcon lists fire rating on the W101 Grade 2 medium duty passage knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and on the X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core.
8) Will the Delaney Derby dummy knob mount on a metal door as well as wood?
Both. It ships with combination screws that suit wood or metal door mounting, so you don't need to source separate fasteners for a hollow metal interior door.
9) How far does the Derby dummy knob stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/8 inches, with an overall length of 2.5625 inches. That matters where the door swings close to a wall, a return, or an adjacent cabinet, and it is the number to check if you are matching the reach of the knobs already on your other doors.
10) Does a dummy knob need a bored hole in the door?
The Derby dummy has no latch and no spindle passing through, so there is nothing to run through a cross bore. It fastens to the face of the door with the supplied combination screws and a dummy spindle. That makes it the usual choice for a false door, a closet slab, or the inactive leaf of a pair where no prep exists.
11) Is a passage knobset the same thing as the Delaney Derby dummy knobset?
No. The Delaney Derby is a dummy function knob with no latch or lock, used as a push/pull pull only. A passage knob such as the Arrow RK01 or the Corbin Russwin CK4410, both Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical locks, includes a latch that holds the door shut, and requires a bored hole and latch prep the dummy does not use.
12) We need privacy on a bedroom or bath door, not a dummy knob. What Grade 3 knob works there?
The Delaney Derby is dummy function and cannot be locked. For bed and bath privacy in the same Grade 3 class, the Pamex FTF Baron Knob Lockset in privacy function and the Cal-Royal BER20 Privacy knob lock are both Grade 3 and listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Grade 2 privacy alternatives include the Dexter C2000 Privacy ball knob.
13) Can the Delaney Derby dummy knobset be keyed for an exterior door?
No. The Derby is a dummy function knob with no latch or cylinder. For a keyed exterior opening, Grade 3 options include the Cal-Royal BER00 Entrance/Office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway, the Pamex FTF Baron in entrance/office function, the Master Lock BC Series biscuit knob keyed entry, and the Kwikset 400P-CP keyed entry knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch.
14) Is there a solid brass dummy knob alternative to the Delaney Derby?
Omnia offers several solid brass single dummy knob latchsets: the 434/0 traditional egg-shaped knob, the 442/00 #44 traditional single dummy with a 2-5/8 inch rose, and the 458/0 traditional single dummy with a 2-3/8 inch backset. All are dummy function like the Delaney Derby, in solid brass construction.
15) I need satin nickel knobs to match across several interior doors. Which options come in that finish?
The Delaney Derby dummy knobset is offered in US15 Satin Nickel and US12P Tuscany Bronze. If you also need a functioning knob in satin nickel, the Callan Roland is a Grade 2 entrance knobset listed in US15 Satin Nickel, so the two can be run together on a door group where some leaves are dummy and others latch.
16) What is the difference between the Delaney Derby dummy knobset and the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only?
The Delaney Derby is a dummy knobset supplied with a non-functioning knob, plate for one side, dummy spindle, and mounting screws, intended as a push/pull on an interior door. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the 7800 Series, a trim component for an exit device rather than a standalone dummy set. Similarly, the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function for the ED-500 Series.
17) Will the Delaney Derby dummy knob work on a thicker door, or should I pick something with a stated thickness range?
For openings where door thickness drives the selection, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob and the Deltana 6171 Round Knob Entry are both listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Delaney Derby mounts with combination screws that suit wood or metal doors and, being dummy function, passes nothing through the door.
18) What finishes does the Delaney Derby dummy knob come in?
Two: US15 Satin Nickel and US12P Tuscany Bronze. If you are trying to match knobs already hung in a unit, those are the two Derby dummy options to hold against what is on the door.
