Weslock 00205VN--0020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Weslock 0205 half dummy come with a latch, or is it just trim?
Just trim. The Weslock 0205 Premiere Essentials half dummy is surface mounted with no latch, no spindle turn and no bore-through mechanism. You get one knob and one rose that screw to the face of the door as a pull. If you need a door that actually latches shut, order a passage or privacy set instead.
2) Do I need to worry about handing or door thickness with a Weslock 0205 dummy knob?
Handing is not a factor, the 0205 is non-handed and can go on the interior or exterior face. Door thickness is also not a constraint the way it is on a bored lockset, since a half dummy mounts to the surface rather than through a cross bore. What does matter is that the door face is solid enough at the mounting point to hold the screws.
3) Will a half dummy knob fill an existing 2-1/8 inch bore hole from an old knob?
No. The 0205 is a surface mounted half dummy, so its rose sits on the face of the door and does not fill or cover a standard 2-1/8 inch bore. On a door already prepped for a bored lockset, use a passage set such as the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob or the Pamex FTF passage knob, both of which fit 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Dummy trim is for doors with no prep.
4) Is the Weslock 0205 a pair of dummy knobs or just one side?
The Weslock 0205 Somerset is a half dummy - a single knob and rosette mounted on one face of the door. If you need trim on both faces of an inactive or double door, a full dummy pair is the item to order: the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown dummy are both supplied as pairs, two knobs per set.
5) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Weslock 0205 half dummy knob for a single dummy application?
The Weslock 0205 Somerset half dummy is an ANSI Grade 3 residential dummy knob in zinc alloy construction. For a heavier-duty single dummy on the same kind of inactive door, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed single dummy trim rated heavy duty for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy knob. Both serve the same pull-only purpose with no latch.
6) I need a knob that actually latches, not a dummy - what should I order instead of the Weslock 0205?
The Weslock 0205 Somerset is a dummy function knob, surface mounted with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet knob, the Pamex FTF passage knob is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 for the same door thickness range. Cal-Royal also offers the BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob if the door needs a push-button lock.
7) What is the Weslock 0205 dummy knob actually made of, and will it hold up in a rental unit?
Solid zinc alloy body with a square spindle, and it carries an ANSI Grade 3 certification, which is the residential duty level. For apartment closets and inactive doors of a double pair that is the normal spec. For a commercial corridor or a school, a Grade 2 dummy like the Schlage A170 single dummy trim or the BEST 6K single dummy trim is the heavier answer.
8) Is the Weslock 0205 keyed or lockable in any way?
Neither. It is a non-keyed dummy with no cylinder, no turn button and no latch, so it cannot secure anything. It is a pull only. For a closet door that needs to stay shut, a passage function is the right call; for a bed or bath, a privacy function.
9) What is the difference between a half dummy and a full dummy knob?
A half dummy is one knob for one face of the door, which is what the Weslock 0205 is. A full dummy set gives you knobs on both sides, typically joined through the door. Use the half dummy on a French door leaf, a closet slab or the inactive half of a double door where you only ever pull from one side. Comparable single dummy options include the Schlage A170, the Cal-Royal BA40 and the Omnia 458/0.
10) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Weslock 0205 Somerset half dummy in a residential-grade dummy knob?
Comparable residential dummy knobs include the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington dummy knob, which covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset, a Grade 2 dummy. Like the Weslock 0205 Somerset, all are non-keyed dummy function knobs used as pulls on closets and inactive double doors.
11) Are there solid brass dummy knobs I can use instead of the zinc Weslock 0205?
The Weslock 0205 Somerset half dummy is built from zinc alloy. If the specification calls for solid brass, the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy and the Omnia 442/00 single dummy with 2-5/8 inch rose are both solid brass construction single dummy locksets, and the Omnia 458/0 single dummy is solid brass as well.
12) Will the Weslock 0205 work as trim on an exit device or a keyed opening?
No. The Weslock 0205 Somerset is a non-keyed dummy knob with no latching or locking function. For a keyed opening use something like the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with Kwikset keyway or the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with conventional cylinder. For exit device trim, the Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors is the correct part, not a dummy knob.
13) The Weslock 0205 is Grade 3 - what do I use on a high-traffic commercial closet door instead?
The Weslock 0205 Somerset half dummy is ANSI Grade 3 and catalogued for residential use. For high-traffic commercial closet and storeroom openings, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core and a fire rating for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
14) Does the Weslock 0205 dummy knob come with mounting screws and instructions?
Yes, assembly screws and instructions are in the box, and the knob arrives preassembled on the spindle with the round rose. Mounting is screws into the door face, so there is no boring, no chiseling for a faceplate and no strike to install.
15) Does the Weslock 0205 come in a finish that matches other satin nickel hardware in the unit?
The Weslock 0205 Somerset half dummy is offered in Satin Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze. If a job needs a satin nickel latching knob to pair with it, the Callan Roland Grade 2 entrance knobset is supplied in US15 satin nickel, and the Bravura Dallas rectangle trim passage knobset is offered in US4 satin brass if the opening calls for brass instead.
