Deltana 815871D St. Ann Handleset, Dummy, Solid Brass

It's a dummy handleset, so there's no latch, no cylinder and no working mechanism. The St. Ann 815871D mounts to the door face as a fixed pull and stays put; you push or pull the door and it goes nowhere on its own. That means the door needs a separate catch, roller, ball catch or a deadbolt if it has to stay closed or secure. For a door that has to actually latch and lock, you want an entrance handleset instead, like the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with the Accent lever.

Standard spots are the inactive leaf of a double door, a French door pair where only one leaf operates, a closet or pantry door with a ball catch, or the exterior face of a door where the real security is a separate deadbolt. Since the St. Ann 815871D has no latch and no keyway, it's purely trim and a grip. Property managers matching a look across a building often use dummies on the fixed leaves so every door reads the same from the street.

A dummy gives you the grip and the plate, nothing else. Plan on a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch to hold the leaf closed, flush bolts if it's the inactive leaf of a pair, and a separate deadbolt if the opening needs security. On a French door pair the usual build is an entrance or single cylinder handleset on the active leaf and the dummy on the fixed one, so the two faces match.

No on both counts. The St. Ann 815871D is dummy only, and it carries no keyway. For a keyed handleset on a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with the Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Most residential handlesets stop at 1-3/4, so the thickness range is the spec to check first on a thick or custom door.

The St. Ann 815871D is a dummy-function handleset in solid brass, so the nearest equivalents are other brass dummy handlesets. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan are all brass mortise entrance handlesets built in the dummy function, differing from each other only by grip style. On the Weslock side, the 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset pairs with a New Heaven lever and the 6695 Belmont dummy handleset pairs with an Impresa knob. Any of these gives you a surface-mounted pull with no latch and no cylinder, which is what the St. Ann does.

The St. Ann 815871D is non-keyed with a dummy lock function, so it will not secure an opening. For a keyed entry handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry handleset, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3 single cylinder keyed handlesets with SmartKey. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont mortise trim comes in both single cylinder and double cylinder entry versions. The Master Lock HDLB series HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset.

The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan are all described as mortise entrance handlesets, but they are built in the dummy function, so they match the St. Ann rather than replacing it with a working lock. The trap is elsewhere: the Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is non-keyed but is an entrance-function handleset with a working latch, not a dummy, and the Schlage JI18/19 is a passage function interconnected lock that also carries a keyed deadbolt. Ordering either of those in place of a dummy gets you a bored opening and a latch you did not prep for.

Deltana lists the St. Ann as residential hardware, so it belongs on houses, condos and apartment interiors rather than in a commercial opening with a hardware schedule. For multi-family common-area doors or anything on a code-driven schedule, buyers usually move to a Grade 2 or better product, such as the Master Lock HDLB Series Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset.

Six finishes: oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, antique nickel, polished chrome, brushed chrome and antique brass. If you're matching existing Deltana trim on other doors, the finish is the only variable to pick here since the function is fixed as dummy. Solid brass under the plating, which is what lets Deltana carry the living and antique finishes.

Solid brass, not zinc or plated pot metal. That matters on an exterior door face where the sun and the weather get at it, and it's why the antique finishes on the St. Ann wear rather than flake. Brass is also why these hold up on coastal jobs better than a die-cast handleset.

Handing doesn't come into it. With no latch and no operating mechanism, the St. Ann 815871D mounts the same on a left or right hand door. Where you do need to think about orientation is which face of a pair it goes on, so the thumbpiece and grip line up with the active leaf's hardware.

The St. Ann 815871D is a residential handleset in the dummy function, which has no latching or locking mechanism to grade. If your facility standard requires a graded handleset on the opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the JE285 Barcelona are Grade 2, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3.

A dummy handleset like the St. Ann 815871D mounts to the face of the door and does not have to pass a spindle or cylinder through it, so door thickness is not the deciding factor it is on a functioning handleset. If the same opening also needs a latching handleset, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy and 6695 Belmont dummy are rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial is 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Schlage F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont mortise trim is 1-3/4 inch only.

The St. Ann 815871D is the dummy side of that pairing and comes in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Antique Brass, so you can match the finish family on the active leaf. For the electronic side, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset carries a Contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt with a Halifax lever interior, and the Yale Real Living Assure line offers the BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset, the BYRD226CBARX with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD256 CBARX key-free touchscreen with Ridgefield passage handleset.

The St. Ann 815871D is a dummy, so it pulls but never latches. If the door needs to stay closed, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is a passage function interconnected lock with a Torino lever, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors at Grade 2. If the door only needs a pull and nothing more, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest and 6695 Belmont dummy handlesets do the same job as the St. Ann with a lever or a knob as the interior trim.

Both are solid brass dummy handlesets. The St. Ann 815871D is offered in six finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Antique Brass. Emtek splits the same function across four separate series, each a different grip design: the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan. So with Deltana you pick the St. Ann shape and choose a finish, while with Emtek you pick the series to get the shape you want.

That combination works, and it's common on a front door where the customer wants a decorative brass grip plus keyless entry. The St. Ann carries no cylinder at all, so the deadbolt does all the security work. Yale's Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts with the Ridgefield handleset (BYRD226NRRX standalone, BYRD226CBARX with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) are the packaged version of that idea, and both are listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.

Model 815871D is the Deltana St. Ann dummy handleset in solid brass. The D at the end of the number is the dummy designation, and finish is the only other thing you specify. Distributors cross-referencing it should note it sits in Deltana's St. Ann series and is currently a clearance item, so the finish range on it is what it is.

Interior trim style is what separates most of the handleset pairings. The Baldwin Wesley handleset comes with an Alcott knob on the 180WYHXATK and a Carnaby knob on the 180WYHXCYK. Weslock pairs the 2815 Hillcrest with a New Heaven lever, the 2810 Hillcrest with a Hudson knob, the 6695 Belmont with an Impresa knob, and the 1411 Traditionale Colonial with an Eleganti knob. Schlage pairs the F60 Addison with an Accent lever, the JE285 Barcelona with a Seville lever, and the JI18/19 with a Torino lever.
