Kwikset 606T Tylo Knob Interior Dummy Handleset Trim

It is a residential-grade product. For a school, clinic, or office corridor where a graded dummy is specified, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 heavy duty, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Both are better suited to commercial traffic than a residential knob.

A dummy will not hold a door closed, so if you need the latch you want a passage or privacy knob. For residential work, the Schlage F Series F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with adjustable backsets and dual strikes. For a bedroom or bath that needs to lock, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is a Grade 3 option for the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thickness range.

No. The 606T Tylo is residential dummy trim with no latch and no locking operation, intended for interior push/pull doors. Commercial openings that need a rated lock take a graded cylindrical set: the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom knob lock, the Dexter C2000 classroom ball knob is Grade 2, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core and a fire rating for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

For a commercial-rated single dummy knob, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed dummy trim in the A Series, rated heavy duty and listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick. The BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is also a Grade 2 non-keyed single dummy trim, rated medium duty. The Kwikset 606T Tylo is a residential dummy knob trim with a traditional styling and Microban antimicrobial protection, so on multi-family interior doors where an ANSI grade is specified on the drawing, the Schlage or BEST dummy is the one that answers the spec.

The 606T Tylo is non-keyed dummy trim with no locking operation at all. For a bed or bath door, a privacy function knob is the right part: the Pamex FTF Grade 3 Baron privacy knob and the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob both fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for the same range. Baldwin's Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose covers the same function in a decorative line.

The 606T Tylo is non-keyed dummy trim and cannot accept a key. For a keyed exterior or office door, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock cut to a Kwikset keyway, which keeps it on an existing Kwikset key system, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Other keyed options include the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob in Grade 2 and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical knob with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

No handing to specify. The Tylo dummy trim is universal handing and mounts on either a right hand or left hand door, so you order one part regardless of swing.

A screwdriver. Installation takes a few minutes because there is no latch to mortise and no cylinder to key. If the door has an existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore from a removed knobset, the dummy trim covers that area; if you are starting from a blank door, the dummy only needs the mounting screw holes it comes prepped for.

Not the same count of parts. The 606T Tylo is interior dummy trim for a handleset, a single knob for one face of the door. Emtek's Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy and the Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence dummy knobs are sold as pairs, one knob for each face, which suits a double door or a pair of French doors. For single-face applications, single dummy trim such as the Omnia 434/0 or 442/00 egg and #44 knob latchsets or the Schlage A170 single dummy is the matching configuration.

The 606T Tylo is a traditional-style knob offered in polished brass and antique brass. Comparable traditional dummy knobs include the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset in Grade 2, the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington dummy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset in solid brass with a 2-3/8 inch backset. Those differ from the Tylo in construction and rose shape, so match the rose profile to the rest of the doors before standardizing.

The 606T Tylo covers only the fixed, non-latching openings. For the latching doors in the same unit, a Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack ships with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered as a 6-pack with adjustable backset for volume work. Arrow MK01 and RK01 are Grade 2 passage knobs for the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors if the property standardizes on a graded set.

No. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the 7800 Series and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom function knob trim in the ED-500 Series; both are exit device trim, meant to mount to a panic device rather than to a plain interior door. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is likewise 28 Series exit device trim with knob and rose. The Kwikset 606T Tylo is interior dummy trim for a residential handleset and mounts with a screwdriver to the door face.

The Tylo knob carries Microban antimicrobial product protection built into the finish, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It is a surface treatment on the hardware, not a substitute for cleaning protocol, and the knob itself is a residential product rather than a graded commercial lock.

The Kwikset 606T Tylo is a traditional knob in polished brass and antique brass with Microban antimicrobial protection. For a more decorative interior, the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy is solid brass, the Omnia 442/00 #44 single dummy uses a 2-5/8 inch rose in solid brass, and Emtek's Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence dummy knobs bring a crystal knob in dummy function. Deltana's St. Thomas and Portland knobs cover the same traditional look in latching functions if the door needs to close.
