Schlage PC170 Grade 1 Single Dummy Cylindrical Lock, Non-Keyed with Rose

No latch at all. The PC170 is a single dummy trim: a lever and rose mounted on one face of the door with no latchbolt, no chassis operation, and nothing to retract. It is a pull for an inactive leaf of a pair, a closet door held shut by a ball catch or a magnet, or a false door that needs to match the hardware on every other opening. If you need a lever that retracts a latch on both sides with no locking, that is a passage function, not a dummy.

Yes, 1-3/4 inches is the rated door thickness for the PC170, which is the standard commercial door. Because it is a dummy, there is no through-bolt chassis crossing the door, so it mounts to the one face you put it on. The PC Series as a whole is prepped for the common cylindrical ANSI 161 door prep.

No. The PC170 is field reversible and the PC Series is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. Order the finish and lever style and you are done. That also means one SKU on the shelf for a property manager stocking spares across a building.

It will. The dummy uses the same eight lever styles (Athens, Boardwalk, Broadway, Latitude, Longitude, Rhodes, Sparta, Tubular) and the same six finishes as the keyed and non-keyed PC Series functions, so a closet or inactive leaf reads identically to the storeroom and classroom doors down the hall. The PC Series also suites with the PM, PT and ALX Series Grade 2 cylindrical locks, and every lever suites with Von Duprin exit devices. Match the lever style and finish code across the order and the whole floor looks like one specification.

The PC Series is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors and the PC170 is fire rated. Worth knowing on a pair of fire doors: the dummy has no latch, so it does not do anything to hold the leaf closed. Positive latching on a fire assembly has to come from the active leaf's lock or from flush bolts and a fire exit device on the inactive leaf. The dummy is trim on that leaf, not the latching hardware.

A dummy lever has no latch at all, so on a closet or corridor door that has to stay closed against a strike you want a passage function instead. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock, field reversible and fire rated. The Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the 2-3/4 inch backset the PC170 uses, and the Hager 3810E is the same passage function with escutcheon trim. TownSteel MRX-L-01 covers the same passage function in a Grade 1 anti-ligature lever for behavioral health openings.

The Emtek 3102 Memphis mortise entrance lockset is offered in a dummy function, as are the Emtek 3104 Hamilton, 3106 Manhattan, and 3019 Brisbane. All four are dummy-function mortise locksets, so they serve the same purpose as the PC170: a fixed lever or knob on an inactive leaf or closet door with no latching action. The difference is styling and lever family. The PC170 carries the Latitude, Athens, Boardwalk, Broadway, Longitude, Rhodes, Sparta, and Tubular lever designs, which is the choice to make when the dummy has to match keyed and non-keyed levers elsewhere in the same building.

Six: 626 Satin Chrome, 625 Bright Chrome, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and 643E Aged Bronze. Those same six run across every lever style and trim in the PC Series, so a matte black dummy on an inactive leaf pairs with a matte black storeroom lock on the active leaf. 626 is the usual institutional default; 622 and 643E are the ones multifamily and hospitality specs tend to ask for.

Certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 operational and security standards, the top commercial grade, with the ANSI function designation F01. For a dummy the grade matters less for security (there is no latch to force) and more for feel and finish durability on a high-traffic touch point, which is why the PC Series is built for commercial real estate, retail, multifamily and hospitality. Levers are solid zinc and the rose is snap-on wrought brass with no exposed screws.

No strike and no latch ship with a dummy, and none are needed, because nothing latches. If you are ordering the operating locks on the same openings, the PC Series standard strike is the 10-072, a 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch square corner box strike with a 1-3/16 inch lip, set at a 2-3/4 inch backset. For the dummy leaf itself, plan on a ball catch, roller catch, magnetic catch or flush bolts depending on how you want that leaf held.

Single dummy is one lever on one face of the door. Double dummy is a lever on both faces. The PC170 is the single. Use the single when only one side is ever pulled, typically the corridor side of an inactive leaf or a false door against a wall. Use the double on a swinging closet or pantry door that people pull from both sides. Both are non-keyed and both use the same lever styles and finishes, so the choice is purely which faces need a lever.

No. The PC170 is a non-keyed dummy with no cylinder and no chassis, so there is nothing to key and nothing to add to a keyway. If that opening needs to be on the master system, order a keyed PC Series function instead: Entrance, Entrance/Office, Storeroom, or Classroom Lock Exterior Lockdown. Those come standard with the patented Everest 29 S123 keyway, with Primus available for restricted key control, and the PC Series is compatible with more than seven non-Schlage key systems.

On a run of doors where only the inactive leaves get a dummy, the keyed openings usually come from a Grade 1 mortise line. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever. Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option, NM8050 is the Grade 1 office/entrance version, and NM8070 the Grade 1 classroom, all for 1-3/4 inch doors. Corbin Russwin ML2003 covers Grade 1 classroom in the ML2000 Series at 1-3/4 inch. The PC170 itself is Grade 1 and non-keyed, so it is the trim-only member of that set.

The PC170 is a dummy - levers only, latchbolt released from either side at all times - so it secures nothing. For a bed/bath opening, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Where only a bolt is wanted, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the PC170 backset dimension.

They answer different needs. The Schlage CO-100 mortise lock is a Grade 1 standalone electronic lock with a keypad reader in privacy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage ENGAGE LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3-hour fire rating. TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. Any of those goes on the access-controlled side of an opening; the PC170 is non-electronic and non-keyed, so it is what goes on the inactive leaf or pull side of that same pair.

Ligature-resistant trim is the usual requirement. The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function, stainless steel, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless ligature-resistant arch trim. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are Grade 1, the same grade the PC170 carries, but they are shaped so nothing can be tied off - the PC170's straight and curved lever designs are not.

The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, from the 7900 Series. That covers a corridor door where the occupant needs to secure the room from inside and always get out. The Schlage PC170 is a single dummy with rose in the same Grade 1 class, so the two share trim style and grade but not function - the dummy is for the inactive leaf beside that door, not the door itself.

The PC170 is a commercial lever trim built for retail, multifamily and hospitality corridors. For a decorative entrance handleset look, Emtek offers mortise dummy sets in several designs: the 3019 Brisbane in brass, the 3102 Memphis, the 3104 Hamilton, and the 3106 Manhattan. Those are the ones to look at when the door is a front entrance and the aesthetic is driving the choice rather than a Grade 1 commercial spec.

Yes, and it is a common pairing. The PC170 is a purely mechanical, non-electronic trim, so it has no wiring, no power and nothing to integrate. Put the credential hardware on the active leaf and the dummy on the leaf that never opens. If the active leaf needs a reader in a mortise body, Schlage Electronics offers the LEMD Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3-hour fire rating, and the CO-100 standalone mortise lock with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the finishes will need checking against the PC Series six.

No. The Sargent 130W is a standard duty mortise thumbturn with a round backplate from the 7800 Series, and the 130KB is a standard duty thumbturn in the 8200 Series. A thumbturn drives a bolt from the inside of an opening; it is not a pull. The Schlage PC170 is a single dummy lever with rose that gives a fixed handhold on a door with no operating function at all. If the door needs something to pull on, the thumbturn is the wrong line item.
