Schlage Residential FC172 DMP 622 KIN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage FC172 Dempsey dummy pair fit a 1-3/8 inch door, and does backset matter on a dummy?
Doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches are covered, which takes in standard 1-3/4 inch commercial-weight leaves and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older homes and apartments. Backset is not a factor on the FC172 Dempsey, because a double dummy has no latch and no cross-bore to line up with a strike. It surface mounts to the door face, so all you need is the door thickness in range and enough flat rose area for the mounting.
2) Do I need to order the Schlage Dempsey dummy handed for a left or right hand door?
Handing does not apply. The FC172 Dempsey dummy is non-handed, and because it is a pair, you get a lever for each face of the door. Order one pair per door regardless of swing. If you only need a lever on one side of the door, this is not the part, since the double dummy pair covers both faces.
3) Can I get the Dempsey dummy lever to match the keyed Schlage locks already on my other doors?
Visually, yes, and that is the whole point of it. The Dempsey lever design and the rose you pick carry across, so the dummy leaf reads the same as the functioning openings. Keying is not part of it: the FC172 Dempsey dummy is non-keyed and has no cylinder, so there is nothing to key alike into an existing system. For the doors that do need to lock, you keep the keyed Schlage sets and use this only where the door does not operate.
4) What should I order instead of the Schlage Dempsey dummy if the door actually needs to latch shut?
A dummy will not hold a door, so move to a passage set for a door that closes but never locks, or a privacy set for a bath or bedroom. In the same residential weight, Kwikset's 200BRNL Breton passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the 300BRNL Breton privacy set matches it on the same range. Stepping up commercially, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever, and the Falcon K101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock, fire rated, spanning 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
5) The door actually needs to latch - what takes the place of the FC172 Dempsey dummy pair?
The FC172 Dempsey is a dummy: the levers do not turn and there is no latch behind them, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching but non-locking opening, use a passage set. Comparable Grade 2 passage levers include the Falcon B101 non-handed cylindrical passage lever, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta 5300 Series passage/closet lever, and the Hager 2510 with Withnell lever, which fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. In Grade 3, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door range the FC172 fits.
6) I only need a dummy lever on one side of the door - what should I order instead of the Dempsey double dummy pair?
The FC172 Dempsey is a double dummy pair, meaning a non-turning lever on each face. For a single face, order a single dummy or half dummy instead: the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed lever, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes in left hand (5103-LDM) and right hand (5103-RDM) versions so you specify the side. Ordering the FC172 pair for a one-sided application leaves you with a lever you have no prep for.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Schlage FC172 Dempsey double dummy pair if I need dummy levers on both faces of the door?
Two other dummy pairs cover the same both-faces application: the Emtek Arts and Crafts leverset dummy pair and the Emtek Cast Stainless Steel Athena lever dummy pair are both supplied as dummy pairs, so each door leaf gets a non-turning lever the same way the FC172 Dempsey pair does. The FC172 carries a Grade 2 rating; the Emtek dummy pairs are trim sets sold on lever design. If your matching concern is the rest of the hardware on the opening, the FC172 keeps you inside Schlage's F Series Dempsey lever design.
8) Is a passage leverset the same thing as the FC172 Dempsey double dummy pair?
No. The FC172 Dempsey is a non-turning pair used as a door pull or to match inactive trim; the lever does not retract anything. A passage set such as the Accentra 4601LN with Augusta trim or the Bravura Atlanta passage leverset, both Grade 2 passage/hall/closet function, has a turning lever and a working latch. They can look nearly identical on the door face, which is why the inactive leaf of a pair of doors gets the FC172 Dempsey dummy and the active leaf gets the passage set.
9) My doors are 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick - which lever fits when the FC172 Dempsey range stops short?
The FC172 Dempsey covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so a 2 inch leaf is past its range. Peers built for thicker doors include the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage set and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, both rated 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage set, which spans 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Deltana Manchester 6201 and Morant 6411 entry levers cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
10) What finishes and rose shapes does the Schlage FC172 Dempsey double dummy come in?
Three finishes, three rose designs, and every combination of the two is orderable: 618 Polished Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, and 622 Matte Black, each with a Collins, Kinsler, or Rosewood rose. So Matte Black on a Rosewood rose or Satin Nickel on a Collins rose are both real orderable pairings. Pick the rose to match the trim on your working sets so the inactive leaf does not stand out.
11) Is the Schlage Dempsey dummy lever durable enough for apartment turns and rental units?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 and ANSI/BHMA A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, with a stainless steel substrate. Grade 2 on a residential leverset is a step above the Grade 3 builder-basic sets that go into spec housing. For a property manager standardizing across units, that means the dummy trim on the inactive leaves is built to the same level as the working hardware rather than being the piece that loosens first.
12) What are the alternatives to the Schlage Dempsey if I want a dummy lever pair with a different look?
Several dummy pairs sit alongside it. Emtek's Cast Stainless Steel leversets come as dummy pairs in the Athena and Helios levers, and the Arts and Crafts line offers the Arts and Crafts and Hammered levers as dummy pairs, all of which read more decorative than the Dempsey. On the commercial side, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy cylindrical lever, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Which one you land on usually comes down to matching the rest of the trim in the building rather than the function, since they all do the same non-turning job.
13) Do I need to bore the door or add a strike to install a Schlage FC172 Dempsey double dummy?
No strike and no cross-bore. Because it is a non-turning dummy with no latch, the pair mounts to the door faces and there is no frame prep at all. That makes it the fastest piece of trim on the job and the one that goes onto doors that were never prepped for a lockset. If the door is already bored 2-1/8 inches for a lockset you are removing, note that a dummy will not fill or use that bore the way a passage set does.
14) Is the Schlage FC172 Dempsey dummy suitable for a commercial building or only houses?
It is built and graded as residential hardware, which puts it squarely in apartments, condos, multi-family units, and single-family work rather than a school corridor or a hospital wing. If you are specifying for an institutional facility and need a heavy duty cylindrical lever line, the Grade 1 options are the place to look: the BEST 9K Series 1DT dummy trim, the Accentra 455LN Augusta dummy, or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 for a vandal resistant passage function on 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
15) Which dummy lever holds up better in a commercial corridor than the residential Dempsey FC172?
The FC172 Dempsey is a residential Grade 2 leverset. For dummy trim on a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Both are single dummy trim, so for a pair of doors you order one per leaf rather than a single pair like the FC172 Dempsey.
16) The bathroom and bedroom doors need to lock from inside - what do I use there instead of the Dempsey dummy?
A dummy will not lock; the FC172 Dempsey has no keyed or turn function at all. For bed and bath, specify a privacy set: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever uses the same 5103 lever and 5048 rose as the Baldwin 5103 half dummy, so a dummy and privacy mix on one floor still matches. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy set with Tudor knob and a fire rating.
17) Is there a Grade 2 dummy lever other than the Schlage FC172 Dempsey for a residential unit?
Yes. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Both sit at the same Grade 2 level as the FC172 Dempsey. The distinction that usually decides it: the FC172 Dempsey ships as a pair for both faces of the door, while the 7KC 1DT is single dummy trim for one face.
18) Does the FC172 Dempsey dummy pair take a key or a cylinder like other F Series levers?
No. The FC172 Dempsey is non-keyed with a dummy function, so there is no cylinder to key or to match into an existing system. If the opening needs a keyed lever, the keyed peers are separate products: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C1000 entry/office is a Grade 1 keyed clutching lever over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever.
19) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the FC172 Dempsey dummy the way I do for some other dummy levers?
No. The FC172 Dempsey is non-handed, so one part number covers either swing. That is not true across the category: the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is ordered as a distinct left hand (5103-LDM) or right hand (5103-RDM) part, and picking the wrong one puts the lever throw on the wrong side of the door.
20) Is the Schlage Dempsey dummy lever electronic or does it take a keypad?
Purely mechanical trim, no electronics, no keypad, no battery. The FC172 Dempsey is a non-keyed dummy pair, so there is nothing to power or program. If you are after keyless entry on that opening, the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock and the Lockey 1150 is a mechanical keypad lever set covering 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors.
21) What are my options if I want a dummy lever pair in a different design than the Dempsey?
The FC172 Dempsey lever comes with a Collins, Kinsler, or Rosewood rose in polished nickel, satin nickel, or matte black. For a different lever profile in the same both-faces dummy pair configuration, Emtek offers the Athena lever and Helios lever in cast stainless steel, and the Arts and Crafts and Hammered levers in the Arts and Crafts family, each sold as a dummy pair.
