Schlage Residential F170 BIR 625 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Schlage F170 half dummy lever actually used for?
The F170 Birmingham is a half dummy trim: a single lever on one face of the door, non-keyed, with no key cylinder and no locking. Typical uses are a closet or pantry door that latches magnetically or with a ball catch, the inactive leaf of a French or double door, or a false door where you just need a pull that matches the rest of the openings. Schlage files it as a dummy function, non-keyed.
2) Do I need to order a left-hand or right-hand Birmingham lever?
Neither. The Birmingham lever trim is non-handed, so one part covers both left and right hand doors with no modification. On a pair of doors you can put the lever on whichever leaf you want.
3) Will the Schlage F170 Birmingham dummy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The F170 Birmingham covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which spans both the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 inch doors.
4) Can I match this dummy lever to the other Schlage F Series levers in the unit?
It is F Series Birmingham lever trim, so it keys visually to the same family you would already have on the keyed and passage openings. Finish choices are 619 Satin Nickel, 625 Bright Chrome and 716 Aged Bronze, and the rose is selectable as Alden, Addison, Brookshire or Camelot, so you can match both the plating and the rose shape of the adjacent doors.
5) What should I use instead of the Schlage F170 Birmingham half dummy if the door actually needs a working latch?
The F170 Birmingham is a dummy trim - it is non-keyed with both levers always unlocked and no operating latch retraction, so it is surface-mounted trim for a door that does not latch. If the opening needs a functioning passage latch, the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob is a passage/hall/closet function unit that latches and releases with the handle. Choose by whether the leaf has to stay closed on its own.
6) Is the Schlage F170 Birmingham lever a substitute for an exterior entry set?
No. The F170 Birmingham is a non-keyed residential lever with no cylinder, intended for interior passage-style openings where the trim is decorative. For a keyed exterior door, a single cylinder handleset such as the Bravura 913-Savannah or the Delaney Katana - both Grade 2 - covers the locking entry application. The F170 carries the same Grade 2 rating but does not key.
7) I need a passage lever that actually latches, not a dummy. What should I look at?
A half dummy has no latch and no bore-through operation, so it will not hold a door closed. For a working passage lever or knob, the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is a passage/hall/closet function alternative. Keep the dummy only for inactive leaves and ball-catch closets.
8) If I am standardizing a whole building on Grade 2 residential hardware, what else pairs with this?
The F170 Birmingham is Grade 2 residential trim. For the entry openings on the same spec level, the Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville, Austin and Montgomery handlesets are also Grade 2, as is the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset. The Callan Visconti and Briona handlesets and the Delaney Traditional and Contemporary deadbolts sit at Grade 3 instead, so mixing those drops the grade on those doors.
9) Can I use the Schlage F170 Birmingham lever where credential access is required?
No. The F170 Birmingham is a mechanical, non-electronic lever with no cylinder and no reader. For credentialed openings, the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is a battery powered lever lock with a dual frequency 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz reader and Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, and is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The F170 fits a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range but is purely mechanical trim.
10) If I want a lever rather than a knob on the interior side of a matching entry door, what pairs with the F170 Birmingham style?
The F170 Birmingham is a lever-style trim, so on an adjacent keyed door the Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset is the lever-interior option in the comparable range - it ships with a 672 interior plate and the 939-Charlotte interior lever. The Bravura 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville and 971-Austin handlesets all use the 906-Macon interior knob instead, which would mix knob and lever shapes across the openings.
11) How does the Schlage F170 Birmingham compare with Grade 3 residential hardware on the same job?
The F170 Birmingham is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 with zinc and steel construction. Grade 3 alternatives in the same residential family include the Callan Visconti and Callan Briona single cylinder handlesets and the Delaney Avino handleset, plus the Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary single cylinder deadbolts, which are cylinder x thumbturn. The grade difference reflects the ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength tier, so match it to the traffic the door sees.
12) I only need to add a deadbolt to a door that already has the F170 Birmingham trim - what works?
Because the F170 Birmingham is a non-keyed dummy lever with no locking function, any security has to come from a separate deadbolt. The Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary single cylinder deadbolts are Grade 3 cylinder x thumbturn units suited to that add-on role, the Contemporary using a round rose profile. Verify the deadbolt bore and backset against the existing door prep before ordering.
13) Is a half dummy lever strong enough for apartment turns and closet doors?
The F Series trim is zinc and steel and carries a Grade 2 rating, which is the mid duty ANSI/BHMA level and more than a closet or inactive leaf sees. A dummy lever is rigid trim, so the wear point is the mounting screws into the door, not a latch mechanism.
14) Are there installation instructions for the Schlage F Series levers?
Yes. Schlage publishes the F Series Knobs and Levers installation instructions as a PDF, and it covers the trim mounting for the Birmingham lever. Installation is screwdriver work on the door face.
