Weslock 01705IN--0020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Weslock 1705 Impressa half dummy knob actually latch, or is it just surface-mounted trim?
It doesn't latch. The 1705 Impressa is a dummy function knob, surface mounted to the door face with no latch, no bore-through prep and no strike. Use it where you want a knob to pull or push on but no mechanical latching: closet doors, inactive leaves of a pair, or a false door front.
2) How many knobs come with the Weslock 1705 half dummy, one or a pair?
One. The single dummy ships with one knob and one rosette, mountable on either the interior or exterior face of the door. If you need knobs on both sides of an inactive door, you order two. For a factory pair, Emtek sells dummy knobsets in pairs, such as the Arts & Crafts Hammered Egg dummy pair.
3) Does a dummy knob need a 2-1/8 inch bore hole in the door?
No. Because the 1705 Impressa mounts to the surface of the door, there's no cross-bore, no latch bore and no backset to worry about. That's why it works on a solid slab or a false front where a standard cylindrical lock could never be installed. Mounting screws go straight into the face of the door.
4) Will the Weslock Impressa dummy match the other Weslock knobs already on my doors?
It's part of the Weslock Elegance Series in the Impressa knob design, so it carries the same knob shape and rosette as the latching Elegance Impressa functions. Ordering the dummy in the same finish, Oil Rubbed Bronze or Satin Nickel, gives you a visual match to the passage and privacy sets on the rest of the doors.
5) I need the closet door to actually latch shut, not just have a knob. What should I order instead?
A dummy won't hold the door closed. For a latching closet or hall door, order a passage function knob. Options include the Cal-Royal BA Series in passage, Pamex FTF Baron passage (Grade 3, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors), Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage, or the Falcon W101 Grade 2 passage with a 2-3/4 inch backset for commercial work.
6) What is a commercial-duty equivalent to the Weslock 1705 Impressa half dummy knob?
The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the closest commercial-duty counterpart. Like the Weslock 1705, it is a non-keyed cylindrical dummy knob, and it is rated Grade 2 heavy duty with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The Weslock 1705 is a residential Elegance Series knob in solid molten bronze with concealed installation screws. Another option is the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical dummy knob.
7) The Weslock 1705 half dummy has no latch - what should I order if the door actually needs to latch?
The 1705 Impressa is a dummy function knob, surface mounted with no latching function at all. If the opening needs a working latch, Pamex offers the Grade 3 Baron knob in passage (FTF30), privacy (FTF10), and entrance/office (FTF-00) functions, all for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a Grade 2 latching knob, the Dexter C2000 Series covers passage, privacy, entry/office, and classroom functions on the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range.
8) I need dummy knobs on both sides of a pair of inactive doors - is the Weslock 1705 the right choice?
The Weslock 1705 Impressa is a half dummy, supplied as one knob and rose for a single face. For two faces you would take two of them, or move to a dummy pair such as the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy knobset or the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown or Providence dummy knobsets, each supplied as a pair. The Emtek Porcelain knobs are also sold two knobs per set with a threaded rod.
9) Can the Weslock 1705 half dummy replace a passage knob on a hall or closet door?
No. The 1705 Impressa is non-keyed dummy function only, surface mounted with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. A direct passage replacement would be a latching knob such as the Arrow MK01 or RK01, both Grade 2 passage knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet knob, or the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob supplied with a 6AL latch and round corner strike.
10) What should I use instead of the Weslock 1705 on a bedroom or bathroom door?
A dummy knob such as the 1705 Impressa has no privacy locking, so it does not suit a bed or bath door. Privacy knobs in the same style range include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
11) Is the Weslock Impressa dummy knob keyed or lockable in any way?
Non-keyed and non-locking. There is no cylinder and no privacy button in the dummy function. If the door needs to lock for a bedroom or bath, you want a privacy knob instead, and if it needs a key, an entry function.
12) What is the Weslock Impressa dummy knob made of, and will the finish hold up in a rental?
Solid molten bronze knob and rosette on a brass substrate, offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze and Satin Nickel. It's a residential-grade decorative knob, so it suits apartments, condos and single-family doors rather than high-traffic commercial openings.
13) What is a solid brass traditional alternative to the Weslock 1705 Impressa half dummy?
Omnia offers several single dummy knobs in solid brass: the 434/0 traditional egg-shaped knob single dummy, the 442/00 #44 traditional single dummy with a 2-5/8 inch rose, and the 458/0 traditional single dummy listed with a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Weslock 1705 Impressa is also brass substrate, built as solid molten bronze knob and rosette in the Elegance Series with concealed installation screws.
14) Is there a lower-cost dummy knob option than the Weslock 1705 Impressa for closet and inactive doors?
For a plainer dummy knob, the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington series dummy cylindrical knob covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset is a Grade 2 dummy. The Weslock 1705 Impressa is the Elegance Series residential knob in solid molten bronze, which is the difference in look and material rather than function.
15) For a thick or fire-rated door, what knob should I look at instead of the Weslock 1705?
The 1705 Impressa is a residential dummy trim with no latch and no fire rating stated for the function. For thicker openings, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Falcon W101 is a fire rated Grade 2 medium duty passage knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
16) What looks like a substitute for the Weslock 1705 half dummy but will not work as one?
Knob trim pieces for exit devices are easy to confuse with dummy trim. The Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only with B design and the Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors are trim for exit devices, not standalone dummy knobs, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 knob trim is a storeroom function exit trim. The Weslock 1705 Impressa is a surface mounted dummy knob and rosette for an inactive door, closet, or decorative application.
17) I am standardizing knob hardware across a building and need keyed entry where the Weslock 1705 does not apply - what pairs with it?
The 1705 Impressa is non-keyed dummy trim, so keyed openings need a separate lock. Keyed entry knobs include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo Grade 3 keyed entry for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Master Lock BC Series BC01 Grade 3 biscuit knob keyed entry, the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with Kwikset keyway, and on the commercial side the Sargent 6G04 Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob or the Grade 1 8XG04 with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
18) Does handing matter on a single dummy knob?
It can. The single dummy mounts on either face of the door, but Weslock notes you should be aware of any handing requirements for the trim design before you order. On a symmetrical knob it's a non-issue; check the rosette and knob orientation if the design isn't symmetrical.
19) Will installation screws be visible on the face of the door?
No. Weslock's Elegance hardware uses concealed installation screws, so the rosette face stays clean. The knobs also come off the trim during install to keep the finish from getting scratched while you set the rosette.
