Schlage Residential FC172DMPCAM622ALXCAM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Schlage FC172 Dempsey double dummy actually do, and does it latch the door?
The FC172 Dempsey is a dummy set, which means it does not turn, retract anything, or lock. It's a fixed decorative pull mounted through the door with a non-turning trim on each side. Use it where the door is held shut by a roller catch, ball catch, or magnet, or on a false/inactive door leaf. If you need the handle to actually operate a latch, you want a passage function set instead.
2) Will a Schlage FC172 dummy set fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The FC172 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 1-3/4 inch, so both a standard hollow-core interior door and a 1-3/4 inch solid door are in range.
3) Do I have to order the Schlage Dempsey dummy in a specific hand for a left or right swing door?
No handing to specify. The Dempsey lever by knob dummy is non-handed and works on right or left swing doors, so one part number covers every opening in the building. That's a difference from Baldwin's Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered as a left hand or right hand item.
4) I need the handle on this door to actually work, not just be decorative. What should I buy instead of the FC172?
A dummy is the wrong function if the handle has to retract a latch. Go to a passage set: the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever both cover interior hall and closet doors, and the Hager fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. For a residential look closer to the Dempsey, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) I only need a dummy on one face of the door, not both sides. What should I order instead of the FC172?
The FC172 Dempsey is a double dummy, supplying two non-turning components for use as a decorative pull. For a single face, look at the BEST 7KC single dummy trim lever, which is Grade 2 and non-keyed, the BEST 9K 1DT single dummy trim lever in Grade 1 heavy duty, the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy lever, or the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is handed and offered in left hand and right hand versions.
6) The door actually latches - what do I use instead of the FC172 dummy?
A dummy set like the FC172 has no latch operation at all. If the door needs to latch and stay closed, a passage set is the equivalent trim in working form: the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the FC172 door range, and the Accentra 4601LN and 5301LN Augusta passage levers are Grade 2. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range.
7) The opening needs to be keyed. Can the FC172 be keyed, or do I need a different lock?
The FC172 Dempsey is non-keyed with a dummy function, so it cannot secure an opening. For a keyed cylindrical lever in the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1.
8) Does a dummy set need a bore and a latch hole drilled, or does it just screw to the face of the door?
Only the face prep matters here. Since nothing turns and there's no bolt to retract, the Dempsey dummy mounts with concealed screws through the door and needs no latch or strike bore. Installation is a three-step job with a screwdriver. Keep the door closed with a ball catch or roller catch on the inactive leaf.
9) What rose and knob styles can I pick on the Schlage FC172 Dempsey dummy?
The knob side is chosen from three designs, Alexandria, Dawes, or Hobson, and each knob is paired with a rose in Camelot, Century, or Collins. All combinations are built in 622 Matte Black.
10) Will the black Dempsey dummy match the other Schlage FC doors in my building?
It's finished 622 Matte Black in the FC Series Dempsey lever style, so it lines up with other FC Series Dempsey trim in the same finish on adjacent openings. Pick the knob and rose combination that matches what's already hung, since the knob side alone offers Alexandria, Dawes, and Hobson on Camelot, Century, or Collins roses.
11) Is a residential Schlage dummy set durable enough for apartment corridors and turnover units?
The FC172 is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, on a stainless steel substrate. That's residential-duty hardware. For heavier commercial traffic on a dummy opening, a Grade 1 option such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is the heavier-duty route.
12) Is the FC172 heavy enough for a commercial corridor, or should I step up?
The FC172 Dempsey is a residential Grade 2 set with a stainless steel substrate. For higher-traffic commercial openings the Grade 1 options include the Falcon K101 passage lever, fire rated with a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door range, the Falcon T101 heavy duty passage lever, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) What dummy alternatives work on a 2 inch thick door that the FC172 will not fit?
The FC172 Dempsey is rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. On thicker slabs, the Deltana Manchester 6201, Morant 6411 and Linstead 6431 entry levers cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. These are working functions rather than dummy trim.
14) Does a passage lever like the Falcon B101 do the same job as the FC172 dummy?
No. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever, which means it retracts a latch and holds the door closed. The FC172 Dempsey is a dummy with a non-turning handle used as a decorative pull on one side of the door, with no latch operation. A passage set is the right pick only where the door must latch.
15) Is there any key or keyway to worry about with the FC172 Dempsey dummy?
None. This is a non-keyed, non-electronic set with no cylinder and no keyway, so it never enters a master key system and there's nothing to rekey at turnover.
16) What's a comparable dummy lever from another brand if I want a matched pair for French doors?
For a two-sided decorative set on a pair of doors, Emtek lists dummy pairs in the Arts and Crafts, Hammered, and Cortina lever styles, and Callan's Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. The Schlage Dempsey set differs in that it pairs a lever on one face with a knob on the other rather than matching levers.
