Weslock R1705U1--0020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Weslock Bordeau dummy lever?
Handing matters on this one. The 1705 Bordeau is ordered LH or RH, so pick the direction the lever handle points once it's on the door, not the swing of a latch (there isn't one). Stand on the side you'll see the lever from: if the handle sweeps to the left, that's LH. Order the same hand as the working lever on the opposite leaf so the pair looks symmetrical.
2) Is the Weslock 1705 Bordeau lever suitable for a commercial building or apartment turns?
It's built as residential hardware, meeting ANSI A156.2 Grade 2, and it's a decorative dummy, so it's a fit for houses, condo interiors and light multifamily. For commercial corridors, schools or anything taking institutional traffic, go heavy duty: the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT sits in between at Grade 2 medium duty.
3) I have a French door pair and only one leaf opens. What hardware do I order?
Trim the fixed leaf with the half dummy and put a real lock on the operating leaf. The Bordeau 1705 dummy gives you a matching lever on the inactive door with no latch behind it, so the leaf stays wherever your flush bolts hold it. Order the dummy in the same finish and the correct hand so the two leaves mirror each other, and add a passage or privacy Bordeau on the active side depending on whether that room needs to lock.
4) The door actually needs to latch - what do I order instead of a half dummy lever?
A half dummy lever has no latching function at all, so if the door needs to stay closed, order a passage set rather than the Weslock 1705 Bordeau. In the same Baldwin Estate 5103 lever with the 5048 rose, BAL-5103-PASS is the passage version and BAL-5103-PRIV is the privacy version for a bed or bath door. On the residential side, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage leverset, and the Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Weslock 1705 Bordeau half dummy lever from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is the nearest match in kind: like the Weslock 1705 Bordeau, it is a dummy-function lever with no latch, and Baldwin splits it by hand the same way the Bordeau does, with BAL-5103-LDM as the left hand half dummy and BAL-5103-RDM as the right hand. If the door needs a handed decorative lever with a round rose, either the Bordeau or the Estate 5103 fills the same role.
6) Can I use the Weslock 1705 Bordeau half dummy on an office or entry door that needs a key?
No. The Weslock 1705 Bordeau is non-keyed with a dummy function, so it accepts no cylinder and provides no security. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.
7) Will the Weslock Bordeau dummy match my other Weslock levers in the house?
It matches within the Elegance collection in the Premiere style. Weslock builds the Bordeau lever across functions, so a dummy on the inactive leaf will read the same as the passage and privacy Bordeau levers on the rest of your doors as long as you keep the finish consistent (Oil Rubbed Bronze or Satin Nickel here). Across brands it won't match, lever shapes and rose diameters differ.
8) Are Weslock Bordeau levers ADA compliant?
Yes, Weslock lists the Elegance levers as ADA compliant. That matters even on a dummy: on an inactive leaf of a pair, an accessible-route opening still wants lever-shaped trim rather than a knob so the whole opening reads consistently. Note that a dummy has no operating mechanism, so ADA operating-force requirements apply to the active leaf hardware, not to this piece.
9) Does the Weslock 1705 half dummy take a key or a privacy button?
Neither. The Bordeau half dummy is non-keyed with no cylinder and no privacy turn, because there's no mechanism inside it to lock. For a bed or bath door you want a privacy function; for an entry you want a keyed lock. Weslock builds the Bordeau lever in those functions too, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 line is another lever available as half dummy, passage and privacy.
10) What screws show on the Weslock dummy lever after install, and does the door need boring?
Concealed installation screws, so nothing shows on the face once it's up. Because it's a surface mounted dummy with no latch, there's no cross bore or edge bore to drill, just fastening into the door face. The levers are removable during install, which keeps the finish from getting scratched while you set the rose.
11) What's a good substitute for the Weslock Bordeau half dummy if I want a handed half dummy from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest like-for-like: it's a dummy function lever ordered as a left hand or right hand half dummy, same as the Bordeau. For a lower cost dummy lever, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy. Emtek's Cortina and Arts & Crafts dummies are pairs rather than singles, so they suit a door you're trimming on both faces.
12) What is the difference between a half dummy like the Weslock 1705 and a dummy pair?
The Weslock 1705 Bordeau is a half dummy: one lever and rosette, surface mounted on a single face of the door, which is why it is sold by hand. A dummy pair puts a lever on both faces of the same door for a set of double doors or a pair of French doors. The Emtek Arts & Crafts lever and Hammered lever are both catalogued as dummy pairs, as is the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever. Count faces before ordering: two Bordeau half dummies cover a pair, one does not.
13) Which dummy lever should I specify for a school or healthcare corridor where an ANSI Grade 1 lever is required?
The Weslock 1705 Bordeau meets ANSI A156.2 Grade II and is a residential lever. Where the specification calls for Grade 1, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy in the 5400 Series. Both deliver the same trim-only function at the higher grade a facility specification usually names.
14) Is the Accentra 455LN Augusta dummy lever the same thing as the Weslock 1705 Bordeau?
They share the single dummy function but sit at different duty levels. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series; the Weslock 1705 Bordeau is a residential Elegance Series lever built with solid molten bronze levers, knobs and rosettes and meeting ANSI A156.2 Grade II. Choose the 455LN where a Grade 1 commercial specification governs, and the Bordeau where the decorative bronze finish and residential styling are what the opening calls for.
15) What is a lower cost dummy lever alternative to the Weslock 1705 Bordeau for a closet door?
The Callan Bentley CLN-BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever and covers the same job on an inactive or closet door without the solid molten bronze construction of the Weslock 1705 Bordeau. If the closet door needs to latch rather than just carry trim, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/closet function and the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick.
16) I am matching decorative dummy levers across a home - which brands offer a handed half dummy rather than a pair?
Weslock splits the 1705 Bordeau by hand, offered in left hand and right hand in both oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel, so each door face gets the correct lever orientation. Baldwin does the same on the Estate 5103 with a dedicated left hand half dummy and a right hand half dummy. Emtek's Arts & Crafts, Hammered and Cortina dummy levers are sold as pairs instead, which suits double doors rather than a single inactive leaf.
