Delaney Olivia - Grade 3 Dummy Door Knob

No latch at all. The Olivia single dummy knob is a surface-mounted pull with no latchbolt, no spindle turn and no strike. It screws to the face of the door and stays fixed. Use it on a closet door held shut by a roller or magnetic catch, on the inactive leaf of a double door, or as the trim on a false panel where you just need something to grab. If the door needs to stay closed on its own, you need a passage or privacy function instead.

The Olivia dummy lists a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, the same prep as a standard cylindrical lockset. That is what makes it a clean swap onto a door that already has a knob bored in it, and it means the trim covers a standard 2-1/8 hole rather than leaving a ring of raw edge showing. On a fresh door with no prep, you are mounting to the face, so match the fixing to the door construction: the combination screws included cover wood or metal.

Grade 3 is residential duty, and Delaney lists the Olivia as residential. For a single-family home, a condo interior, or a landlord refresh on unit closet doors it is the right level. For a commercial corridor, a school, or anything taking public traffic, step up: the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty dummy, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 heavy duty covering 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors.

The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the closest commercial-brand counterpart to the Delaney Olivia dummy knob. Both are non-keyed cylindrical dummy knob trim with no latch. The Olivia carries a Grade 3 rating and is built for residential use, while the A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty A Series trim rated for door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The Olivia covers standard 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose the A170 where a specification calls for Grade 2 knob trim; choose the Olivia where the surrounding hardware is residential Grade 3.

A dummy knob has no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a door that needs to latch but not lock, order a passage knob instead. The Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 passage knobset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the Olivia's grade and door thickness range. Heavier options include the Falcon W101, a Grade 2 medium duty passage knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a fire rating, and the Schlage D10S Orbit knob, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch.

No. A dummy knob does not latch and has no locking mechanism, so it cannot secure a bathroom or bedroom door. For those openings order a privacy function knob. The Pamex FTF Baron privacy is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same grade and thickness range as the Delaney Olivia dummy. The Cal-Royal BER20 privacy is Grade 3 with brass trim over the same thickness range, and the Dexter C2000 privacy is a Grade 2 ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

A dummy knob is non-keyed and non-latching, so it is not an exterior option. For a keyed knob in the same Grade 3 residential range, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and ships with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike, and the Master Lock BC Series biscuit knob is a Grade 3 keyed entry. The Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance and office knob with a Kwikset keyway for the same door thickness range, which matters if the building is already keyed to Kwikset.

The Delaney Olivia dummy knob is Grade 3 and specified for residential use, so it will not satisfy a Grade 1 line item. On the Grade 1 cylindrical knob side, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 non-keyed Global knob passage and closet lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with an interchangeable core and a fire rating for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom and closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. These are latching functions, so confirm whether the opening truly needs trim only or working hardware.

The Delaney Olivia dummy knob is built for standard doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker slabs, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On the commercial side the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Falcon X101 passage knobset reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the actual slab before ordering trim for a thick or built-up door.

No, and they are the most commonly confused pair. A passage knob turns and retracts a latch to hold the door closed; a dummy knob such as the Delaney Olivia is fixed trim with no latch, used as a counterpart to functioning hardware or where no latch is needed. The Arrow MK01 and RK01 are both Grade 2 non-keyed passage knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg round trim knobsets are Grade 2 passage. If the opening has a prepped cross bore and latch mortise expecting a working latch, a dummy knob will leave the door swinging free.

Several knob-only items are trim for another device rather than standalone dummy hardware. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design from the 7800 Series, the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in a classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim for the ED-500 Series in a storeroom function. Those mount to a specific device and will not work as freestanding fixed trim. The Delaney Olivia single dummy is standalone knob trim that mounts to the door itself with combination screws for wood or metal doors.

The Olivia is a series, not a single part. The dummy covered here is the non-latching counterpart, and Delaney builds the series as knobsets and locksets sharing the same traditional knob and rose profile, so the dummy is meant to sit alongside the functioning Olivia hardware on adjacent doors and look identical. Order the dummy for the closet and false leaves, and the latching Olivia functions for doors that actually need to stay shut.

Yes, provided the hole is the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which is what the Olivia dummy is prepped for. The rose sits over that bore. What it will not do is cover the edge bore or the latch mortise in the door edge, so if you removed a latching lockset you will still see the 1 inch edge hole and the faceplate mortise unless you plug and fill them or fit a latch filler plate.

A passage function is what you want: it latches and turns, with no key and no lock. In Grade 3 residential like the Olivia, Pamex builds the FTF Baron passage knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Stepping up to commercial, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 global knob are Grade 2 over the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 covering 1-3/8 to 2 inches for thicker slabs.

A single dummy is one knob for one face of the door. A dummy pair supplies two knobs, one for each side, for double doors or a door pulled from both faces. The Delaney Olivia is a single dummy. The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown are both sold as dummy pairs. Count the faces that need a knob before ordering: two single dummies and one pair are not the same package.

Both are non-keyed cylindrical single dummy knob trim, so they fill the same role on a door. The BEST 6K single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty unit in the 6K Series; the Delaney Olivia is Grade 3 and specified for residential use. Where a job is standardizing on BEST cylindrical hardware across a building, the 6K dummy keeps the trim consistent with the rest of the 6K openings. Where the surrounding doors carry Olivia knobs, the Olivia dummy matches the design of the functioning hardware.

The Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington is a dummy knob cylindrical unit covering the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range as the Olivia, in a plain Barrington BA Series knob. The Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, matching the Olivia's grade family more closely on the commercial side. All three are non-latching dummy trim, so the choice comes down to knob shape and the trim already on the adjacent doors.

Yes, the Delaney Olivia is a series of knobsets and locksets sharing a traditional appearance, so the single dummy is designed to sit alongside the functioning Olivia hardware on the other doors of the same unit. If a unit needs to be outfitted from one line instead, the Callan Canova and Callan Santo are Grade 3 entrance knobsets, and the Pamex FTF Baron line covers Grade 3 entrance and office, privacy, and passage functions on 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Standardizing on one series keeps the closet and pantry dummies visually identical to the working doors.

They mount differently. The Emtek Porcelain knobs ship as two knobs per set with a threaded rod joining them through the door. The Delaney Olivia single dummy is cylindrical knob trim fastened with combination screws for wood or metal door mounting and prepped for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. A threaded rod set expects a through-bore with both faces receiving a knob, so it is not a drop-in for a single-side dummy on an already bored door.

Yes. A dummy knob such as the Delaney Olivia includes no latch or strike because it does not operate. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is offered preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike in both a passage version with the 5048 rose and a privacy version with the 5148 rose. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those ship complete for a working opening; the dummy covers the doors that only need matching trim.

Yes. The Olivia dummy includes combination screws sized for wood or metal door mounting, so a hollow metal closet or utility door is within its intended install. On metal you are fixing into the sheet at the 2-1/8 cross bore prep rather than biting into a wood stile, so make sure the existing bore is clean and not deformed from the previous knob.

Three: US32D stainless steel, US12P Tuscany bronze, and US19 black. If you are matching existing hardware in a building, US32D is the satin stainless that pairs with commercial-look trim, US12P is the warm oil-rubbed-family bronze, and US19 is flat black. All three are the same knob, so the finish choice does not change fit or prep.

Handing is not a factor on a dummy. With no latch and no cam to reverse, the Olivia mounts the same on a left- or right-hand door, and on either face. Order by finish only.
