Deltana 803871BD Hanover Handleset, Dummy, Solid Brass

It's a dummy handleset, so there's no latch, no cylinder and no key. The handle is fixed and mounts straight to the door face as a pull and decorative trim. Use it on an inactive leaf of a double door, a french door slab that's held by a flush bolt or roller catch, or a fixed panel. If the door needs to latch or lock, a dummy won't do it.

That's exactly what the Deltana 803871BD Hanover dummy is for. On a pair, the active leaf carries the keyed handleset and the inactive leaf gets a dummy so the two sides look identical from the street. Secure the inactive leaf with flush bolts or a surface bolt, since the dummy itself does nothing mechanically.

No. The 803871BD is the dummy version, with no cylinder and no key. For a keyed opening you need an entrance-function handleset. Options include the Schlage F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry with Accent lever, the Kwikset 687 Amador or 687 Belleview single cylinder SmartKey handlesets, or the Sure-Loc Madison keyed entry handleset with adjustable backset. If you specifically want the Hanover trim on both leaves, order the keyed Hanover model and the dummy together in the same finish.

The Deltana 803871BD Hanover is a non-keyed dummy handleset in solid brass. The closest equivalents by function and material are the Emtek brass mortise entrance handlesets sold in dummy function: the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan. All four are brass handlesets in dummy function, so they serve the same purpose - a pull with no latch or lock mechanism - and differ mainly in the grip and plate styling of each series.

The Hanover 803871BD is a dummy, non-keyed handleset, so it will not latch or lock. For a locking exterior door, look at keyed entry handlesets such as the Schlage F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever, which is Grade 2 and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, or the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder keyed handleset, a Grade 3 unit for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is another Grade 2 keyed option.

Seven: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Antique Brass and Oil Rubbed Bronze. The PVD Polished Brass is the one to pick if you want a bright brass that holds up outdoors without constant polishing, since PVD is a coated finish rather than a lacquer. If you're matching existing Deltana trim on other openings, match the finish code on what's already installed.

Solid brass, not a plated zinc casting. That matters on an exterior door: solid brass has more heft under the hand and the substrate won't pit if the finish wears through at the thumbpiece. It's a residential-grade product, not a commercial Grade 1 item.

No. With no latch and no working cylinder, a dummy handleset has nothing that has to be handed. Mount it at the height and side that matches the active leaf. The only thing to get right at the order stage is the finish.

Emtek's brass mortise dummy handlesets cover four looks: the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan. On the more traditional side, Weslock's 6695 Belmont pairs a dummy handleset with an Impresa knob, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest comes with a New Heaven lever if you want a lever instead of a knob on the interior. All are dummy function, same as the Hanover.

It's classified residential, and it's a dummy at that, so it carries no commercial grading and provides no security. For a multi-family or light commercial entry you want a graded entrance lock: the Schlage Residential F60 and JE285 are Grade 2, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador is Grade 3. The Hanover suits a single-family front door or interior french doors.

A dummy mounts to the face of the door rather than through a latch case, so unusual door thickness is much less of an obstacle than it is with a functioning lockset. Where thickness does bite is on the keyed leaf: most residential entrance handlesets stop at 1-3/4 inches, and only a few go further. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale and the Yale Assure Ridgefield handlesets are listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 6695 and 2815 cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches.

Yes. The Deltana 803871BD Hanover is supplied as a dummy handleset. If you want a dummy handleset paired with interior trim, the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset comes with an Impresa knob and covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset comes with a New Heaven lever over the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch range. Both are dummy function, so like the Hanover they do not latch.

Several handlesets share the same exterior look but are functionally different from the 803871BD Hanover, which is a non-keyed dummy. The Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Wesley with Carnaby knob are entrance function. The Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 and Madison MA507 are keyed entry handlesets with adjustable backset. The Yale Assure BYRD226NRRX and BYRD226CBARX pair a Ridgefield handleset with a touchscreen deadbolt. Any of those requires bore prep and hardware the dummy Hanover does not.

For unusually thick doors, the peer handlesets that publish a wide range are the better starting point: the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Yale Assure BYRD226CBARX with Ridgefield handleset covers the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch span. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset spans 1-3/8 to 2 inches and is the closest thick-door option that matches the Hanover 803871BD's dummy, non-keyed function.

The Deltana 803871BD Hanover is a dummy, so it is a fixed pull with no latch. If you want a handleset that operates a latch but takes no key, the Schlage JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function unit, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. The Yale BYRD256 CBARX pairs a Ridgefield passage handleset with a key-free touchscreen deadbolt for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.

The Deltana 803871BD Hanover is a solid brass dummy handleset in finishes including PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Antique Brass, and it takes no cylinder. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont trim is entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors and comes in single cylinder and double cylinder versions, so it is the working leaf rather than the inactive one. Pair the Hanover with the Baldwin only if you want the inactive leaf non-operating.

The Deltana 803871BD Hanover is a dummy unit, so backset is not a factor in the same way. Where backset flexibility matters, the Sure-Loc handlesets are the ones built for it: the Alta AT507 tubular handleset, the Coral CR507, the Aspen AN507 keyed entry, and the Madison MA507 keyed entry all list an adjustable backset.
