Schlage Residential J170 DOV 619 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a Schlage J170 half dummy lever actually do? Does it latch or lock?
No latch, no lock, no moving parts. The J170 Dover is inactive trim for one side of a door, used as a door pull or as matching trim on the inactive leaf of a pair. The lever does not turn a spindle and there is no latchbolt or bore hardware behind it, so the door has to be held shut by something else (a ball catch, a roller catch, or the active leaf's lockset). If you need the lever to retract a latch, you want a passage function instead.
2) Will a Schlage J170 Dover lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The J170 covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it works on both the thinner interior doors common in older housing stock and the 1-3/4 inch standard. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches is outside the range.
3) Do I have to order a left hand and right hand Schlage J170 separately?
No handing to specify. The J170 Dover is non-handed, so one part number works on a left hand or a right hand door with no modification. That is a real difference from some dummy levers: the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, for example, is ordered as a distinct left hand or right hand part. If you are stocking spares across a portfolio of units, the non-handed Schlage means one bin instead of two.
4) I need a dummy lever for a closet door that needs to actually open and close with the handle. Is the J170 right?
No, and this is the most common mis-order on dummy trim. A half dummy is decorative only. For a closet or hall door where the lever should retract a latch, order a passage function: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the 4601LN are Grade 2 passage cylindrical levers, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed passage lever. Reach for the J170 only when the door is already held by a catch or is the inactive leaf of a pair.
5) Can the J170 Dover be used on a fire rated door?
Fire door listing on the J Series is an available option on the J10 and J54 functions only. The J170 dummy is not one of those functions. On a rated opening, specify a lockset that carries the listing for that door: among cylindrical levers, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage both carry a fire rating on record.
6) Why does a Schlage J170 dummy lock list a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset and a strike if it is a dummy?
Those figures come from the J Series spec sheet, which covers the whole family, including the keyed and passage functions that use a dual option latch (1 x 2-1/4 inches, 1/4 inch round faceplate) and a 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch radius corner full lip strike at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. A half dummy has no latch and no strike of its own. What matters for the J170 is that it mounts on doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick and matches the rest of the J Series Dover trim on the same opening.
7) Is a Grade 2 dummy lever heavy duty enough for an apartment building corridor?
The J170 carries a Grade 2 rating and is built as residential hardware, which suits apartments, condos, and single family work. For a high traffic commercial corridor, the heavier options are the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy, or the Accentra 455LN Augusta, also a Grade 1 dummy. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT sits in between at Grade 2, medium duty. Since a dummy takes pulling load rather than latch cycles, Grade 2 holds up fine in most multi-family use.
8) What finishes does the Schlage J170 Dover lever come in, and can I match it to the other locks in the building?
Five finishes: 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 630 satin stainless steel, and 716 aged bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so if the entry and passage sets already on your doors are specified by the same number, the dummy will read as a match. Order by the code, not by the finish name, since names vary between brands.
9) Does the Schlage J170 come with a key or a cylinder?
No cylinder, no keys. The J170 half dummy is a non-keyed device with no lock mechanism at all. Other J Series functions take a 5-pin C keyway cylinder, but that hardware is not part of the dummy. If you want a Dover lever that keys into an existing Schlage C system, you need a keyed J Series function, not this one.
10) I need dummy levers on both sides of a French door. Is one J170 enough?
One J170 covers one side only. It is a half dummy, meaning inactive trim for one face of the door, so a pair of doors with a pull on each visible face takes two. If you would rather buy the pair as a single item, the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Classic Cortina dummy levers are sold as dummy pairs.
11) What is the closest alternative to a Schlage J170 dummy lever if I want the same function from another brand?
For a straight Grade 2 dummy lever swap, the Callan Bentley is the nearest peer, also a Grade 2 dummy. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Step up to Grade 1 and you have the BEST 9K Series 1DT and the Accentra 455LN Augusta. All are single or half dummy trim, so the function on the door is the same as the J170; what changes is the lever style and the duty rating.
12) Do I need to drill a cross bore for a half dummy lever, or does it surface mount?
Installation is a simple screwdriver job. Schlage describes a three step process for the J170 with no special tooling, since a half dummy has no latch to fit and no cross bore path to run through the door. If you are covering an existing 2-1/8 inch bore left by an old lockset, the rose mounts over that opening on doors within the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range.
