Deltana PRRHDCH Riversdale Handleset with Chapelton Lever, Dummy

It is a dummy, so there is no latch, no bolt and no keying. The Riversdale handleset with Chapelton lever is a non-keyed, surface-mounted trim set: the lever and grip are fixed and the door has to be held shut by a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch. Use it on the inactive leaf of a French pair, a closet door, or as a decorative match to a working entry set elsewhere on the house.

The Riversdale Chapelton handleset is specified at 1-3/8 inch door thickness with a 2-3/8 inch backset. If you are working on a standard 1-3/4 inch exterior slab, look at a handleset that publishes that range instead, such as the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington (1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch) or the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever (1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch). On a dummy set the thickness matters less than on a latching set, since nothing has to pass through the door, but the grip fasteners are cut for the stated thickness.

You will need a catch of some kind, because the dummy Riversdale set does not include a latch or bolt. It mounts to the face of the door with screws only. If your opening needs to actually secure, the keyed equivalents in our range include the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset and the Sure-Loc Madison keyed entry handleset with adjustable backset.

For a like-for-like non-functioning handleset, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever is the nearest match: it is also a dummy-function handleset with a lever interior trim rather than a knob, and it covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. The Deltana PRRHDCH is solid brass with a 1-3/8 inch door thickness and a lever handle, so the Weslock covers the same opening style with a wider thickness range.

A dummy handleset like the Deltana PRRHDCH Riversdale has no latch or cylinder, so it cannot secure the active leaf. For a keyed exterior opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance-function handleset with lever trim for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. Pairing it with the PRRHDCH on the inactive leaf gives a matched-appearance pair with one working side.

Four: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome and Polished Brass. All are on solid brass, so the finish is applied over brass rather than a plated zinc casting, which is what lets it hold up next to other solid brass trim on the same opening.

No. The Riversdale handleset is a residential product, and the dummy version carries no locking hardware at all. For a multi-family or commercial entry you want a keyed set with a stated grade, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison (Grade 2) or the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset (Grade 2).

That is the usual reason to buy it. The Riversdale grip with Chapelton lever is part of Deltana's Elite Collection in solid brass, so ordering the dummy in the same finish as a functioning Riversdale set gives you matching trim on a French pair or a second door that does not need to latch. Pick the finish first (Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome or Polished Brass) and keep it consistent across the openings.

The Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob is a dummy-function handleset with knob interior trim, fitting doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. The Deltana PRRHDCH Riversdale is the same dummy function but uses the Chapelton lever, so the Weslock 6695 is the knob-trim route for the same non-latching application.

Both are brass dummy handlesets, so they serve the same non-functioning application. The difference is the interior trim and prep: the Emtek 3002 Memphis is a mortise-style brass dummy handleset, while the Deltana PRRHDCH Riversdale pairs with the Chapelton lever and is specified for a 2-3/8 inch backset on a 1-3/8 inch door. Confirm your door prep before swapping, since mortise-pattern and bored-pattern handlesets do not share the same hole pattern.

Emtek offers four brass mortise dummy handlesets in different plate styles: the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan, all dummy function. The Deltana PRRHDCH Riversdale is solid brass in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, and Polished Brass, so if the Riversdale escutcheon shape is wrong for the door the Emtek styles give four alternate plate profiles in the same material family.

Not directly - the Deltana PRRHDCH Riversdale is a non-keyed dummy with no deadbolt. If you want electronic access on that opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with a Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both need a deadbolt bore and a thicker door than the Riversdale is specified for.

Exterior-only trims are the common mix-up. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are sold as exterior-only single cylinder keyed handlesets, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont mortise trims are entrance-function trim for 1-3/4 inch doors. None of these give you the non-operating dummy assembly that the Deltana PRRHDCH Riversdale provides for an inactive leaf or false door.

The Deltana PRRHDCH Riversdale is designated residential. If your facility spec calls for a stated grade, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that both are entrance function with a working deadbolt rather than a dummy.

Dummy handlesets are non-handed in the functional sense because there is no latch to reverse, but the grip and lever are mounted to follow the swing, so orient the set to the door when you lay out the screw holes. Backset for the Riversdale is 2-3/8 inches, which is the standard residential layout and matters if you are covering holes from a previous set.
