Deltana CL115EAC Commercial Dummy Standard Grade 2, Round Knob

The CL115EAC is dummy trim, so the knob is fixed. There is no latch, no spindle turning anything, and no keyway. You mount it as a pull or push point on a door that does not latch, such as an inactive leaf of a pair, a closet or pantry door held by a roller catch, or a false door where you want the opening to match the others. If the door needs to latch, you need a passage function instead, not this.

No. The CL115EAC is non-keyed dummy trim with no cylinder provision, so it cannot be keyed into a master system. If you need a keyed opening in the same round knob look, specify an entrance or storeroom function lock instead, such as the Sargent 6G04 Grade 2 storeroom knob lock with a single cylinder or the Corbin Russwin CK4851 Grade 2 entrance/office cylindrical knob lock.

Put a functioning lock on the active leaf and dummy trim like the Deltana CL115EAC round knob on the inactive leaf so both faces look the same. A commercial passage option for the active leaf in the same Grade 2 band is the Corbin Russwin CK4410 non-keyed passage/closet knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Falcon W101 Grade 2 passage knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

The Deltana CL115EAC is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy round knob for commercial openings. The closest peers are the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, also a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob in the A Series with heavy duty rating and a 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical knob rated medium duty. All three are fixed trim with no latch and no key.

The CL115EAC is a dummy function knob, so it is fixed trim with no latching action. For a door that needs to latch but not lock, Grade 2 passage knobsets include the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Global knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob for the same thickness range, and the Falcon W101 passage/closet knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset and fire rating. For heavier traffic, the Schlage D10S passage latch is Grade 1 heavy duty and the Falcon X101 is Grade 1 heavy duty with a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch range.

No. The CL115EAC is a dummy function knob, meaning the knob is stationary trim with no latch behind it. Passage knobs such as the Arrow MK01 and RK01, both Grade 2 non-keyed passage knobs for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF passage knob in Grade 3, all operate a latch bolt and require latch and strike prep in the door. A dummy is typically mounted to an inactive leaf or a closet door that is held by a magnet or roller catch.

Brushed Stainless is the finish offered on the CL115EAC. If your other openings are brass, bronze, or satin nickel, this one will not match them, so plan the whole set around stainless trim or choose a different family.

It is cylindrical dummy trim from the bored lockset family, so it mounts in the standard bored prep already in the door. Because there is no latch, the edge bore for a latch case goes unused. If the door was previously fitted with a working knob lock and you are downgrading it to dummy trim, you will have an empty latch mortise in the door edge to fill or cover.

No strike and no latch are involved. Dummy trim has no moving latchbolt, so there is nothing for a strike to catch. If the door has to stay shut, add a separate roller catch, ball catch, or magnetic catch. Passage sets like the Kwikset 200P ship with a latch and round corner strike; the CL115EAC does not, because it does not use one.

Yes, several dummy knobs are built as decorative interior trim rather than commercial cylindrical hardware. The Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington is a dummy knob cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Omnia offers solid brass single dummy knobs including the 434/0 egg-shaped, the 442/00 with a 2-5/8 inch rose, and the 458/0. Emtek also lists dummy knobs sold in pairs, such as the Arts and Crafts hammered egg and the Classic Brass crystal Georgetown and Providence. The Deltana CL115EAC differs in being catalogued as commercial Grade 2 cylindrical hardware.

The CL115EAC is non-keyed dummy trim, so locking versions have to come from a keyed or privacy line. Grade 2 keyed options include the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office Global knob with conventional cylinder, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 6G04 storeroom/closet knob with single cylinder. For a bath or bedroom, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 non-keyed. For heavier openings, the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom knob is Grade 1 with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the BEST 8K entrance knob is Grade 1 heavy duty.

Among the knob hardware set, the dummy function options are Grade 2 or lower: the Deltana CL115EAC is Grade 2, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2, and the BEST 6K single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Grade 1 knob hardware in the set is latching or keyed rather than dummy, such as the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Falcon X101 passage, the Schlage D10S passage, and the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom. Because a dummy carries no latch and no cycle load, buildings standardized on Grade 1 latching hardware commonly pair it with Grade 2 dummy trim.

No. The CL115EAC is a standalone dummy round knob for a bored cylindrical prep. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom function knob trim for the ED-500 Series, and the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in B design for the 7800 Series. Those three mount to and operate an exit device chassis, so they are not interchangeable with a dummy knob on a plain bored door.

For thicker doors, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage and CK4851 entrance/office both cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches. The Lockey 3830 keyless combination knob lock covers 1 3/16 to 2 inches in passage function. Most of the Grade 2 and Grade 3 knobs, including the Arrow MK01 and RK01, Dexter C2000, and Pamex FT3, are stated at 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.

Not for the active leaf. The CL115EAC is a non-keyed dummy knob with no latch, so it cannot secure a classroom. The Dexter C2000 classroom ball knob is a Grade 2 keyed classroom function knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For fire-rated classroom or corridor openings the Falcon W101 is Grade 2 with fire rating, and the Falcon X101 is Grade 1 heavy duty with fire rating. A dummy knob like the CL115EAC still has a place on an inactive leaf of a pair beside those.

Round knobs are not lever handles, and many jurisdictions require lever or loop hardware on doors along an accessible route. Since dummy trim does not operate a latch, it is often acceptable where a knob-operated lock would not be, but the decision rests with your local code official. If the opening needs an operable accessible handle, specify a lever set rather than this round knob.

The CL115EAC is a Grade 2 commercial round knob in dummy function, one finish per unit. For quantity buys of latching round knobs, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim. Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those latch; the CL115EAC does not, so it fits the closet and inactive-leaf positions in the same turn.
