Weslock 07105M2--0020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Weslock 7105 Durham half dummy knob come with a latch, or is it just the knob?
No latch. The Weslock 7105 Durham half dummy is surface mounted trim only, with no latching mechanism at all, so there is no latchbolt, no strike and no bore-through prep involved. You get one knob and one rosette that screws to the face of the door. If the door needs to actually stay closed, this is the wrong part and you want a passage or privacy knob instead.
2) What is a half dummy knob actually used for on a door?
Inactive leaves, closet doors, pantry doors, and the fixed half of a double door, anywhere you want a knob to pull on and to match the rest of the trim but no mechanical latch. The Weslock 7105 Durham is a single dummy, meaning one knob for one face of the door. It mounts on either the interior or exterior face, though watch handing on the layout.
3) Will a dummy knob work on a door that already has a bored hole from an old knob?
A half dummy mounts to the door face and does not use the cross bore or the edge bore, so an existing 2-1/8 inch bore hole will sit open behind and around the rosette rather than being filled by the part. On a door already prepped for a standard cylindrical lock, a passage knob is the part that reuses that prep. The Weslock 7105 suits a door with no prep, or one where you are covering and patching the old holes first.
4) What looks like a dummy knob but is not a substitute for the Weslock 7105?
Exit device and outside-trim knobs read like standalone knobs but only work with their device. Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design in the 7800 Series, Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function for the ED-500 Series. None of these mount as decorative trim on an inactive door the way the 7105 Durham single dummy does. Emtek Porcelain knobs with threaded rod also come two knobs per set and mount through the door rather than as a one-sided dummy.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Weslock 7105 Durham half dummy knob from a commercial brand?
The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the closest commercial-brand match. Both are non-keyed dummy-function cylindrical knobs with no latch. The A170 is a Grade 2, heavy duty single dummy trim in the A Series and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The Weslock 7105 Durham is a residential Molten Bronze knob meeting ANSI A156.2 Grade II, with solid molten bronze knob and rosette and concealed installation screws. BEST 6K-1DT single dummy trim is a second option, Grade 2 and medium duty in the 6K Series.
6) I need a knob for a closet door that actually latches - what should I order instead of the Weslock 7105?
The 7105 Durham is a half dummy: surface mounted with no latching function at all, so a door that has to stay shut needs a passage set. Pamex FTF is a Grade 3 Baron knob lockset in passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Dexter C2000 passage is a Grade 2 cylindrical ball knob, non-clutching and non-keyed, same door thickness range. Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock with the Global knob, and the CK4310 is the Grade 1 version fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
7) Can I use the Weslock 7105 on a bathroom or bedroom door?
No. The 7105 Durham is non-keyed dummy function with no latch and no locking mechanism, so it will not secure a bath or bedroom. For privacy, Dexter C2000 privacy is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim over the same thickness range, and Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with the R027 rose is the decorative option.
8) Is the Weslock 7105 Durham knob solid brass or plated pot metal?
Solid molten bronze construction on the knob and rosette, with brass as the base substrate. That is a cast solid part rather than a plated zinc shell, which is why the finish holds up on a door that gets handled daily. It also uses concealed installation screws, so nothing shows on the face once it is mounted.
9) Is the Weslock 7105 rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor doors?
It is a residential grade product. The Molten Bronze line meets ANSI A156.2 Grade 2 lock standards, but the product itself is catalogued for residential use, which is the right call for single family, condo interiors, and unit interior doors. For commercial dummy trim on an institutional opening, the Schlage A170 single dummy is a Grade 2 heavy duty option and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty one.
10) Does the Weslock 7105 Durham knob meet ADA requirements?
Knobs are not the ADA answer. Weslock states ADA compliance for its lever designs, not the knobs, and a round knob requires grasping and twisting. On an opening that has to meet ADA, specify a lever. The Durham knob is fine on residential doors where ADA does not apply, and as dummy trim it has no operating function anyway.
11) Can I install a Weslock half dummy knob on a hollow core closet door?
Yes, it is one of the better fits for a hollow core door. Because it mounts to the face with concealed screws and puts no latch through the edge, there is no need to bore the stile of a thin or hollow leaf. Fasten into the door skin and stile area behind the rosette. Bear in mind a dummy knob is a pull, not a catch, so a hollow core closet door still needs a roller or magnetic catch to stay shut.
12) I am matching the Weslock 7105 Durham on an entry door - what keyed knob goes with it?
The 7105 Durham is non-keyed with no cylinder, so the entry opening needs a separate keyed knob. Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike. Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway over the same thickness range. Callan Edgewood is a Grade 2 entrance knobset, and Master Lock BC01 is a Grade 3 biscuit knob keyed entry.
13) For a whole-house or unit turnover, what passage and privacy knobs pair with a Weslock 7105 dummy on the closet doors?
Pamex FTF Baron covers the set in one family: Grade 3 passage, Grade 3 privacy, and Grade 3 entrance/office, all for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Dexter C2000 does the same in Grade 2 with a ball knob across passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom. Bravura runs Albany and Lynchburg round trim passage knobsets and the Biloxi dummy, all Grade 2. The Weslock 7105 Durham is the non-latching trim piece for the inactive doors in that mix.
14) Which side of the door does the Weslock 7105 half dummy mount on, and does handing matter?
Either face, interior or exterior, is fair game for the 7105 Durham. Handing is worth checking on the layout before you order since Weslock notes handing requirements on its single dummy trim. For a French pair, you would typically put the dummy on the inactive leaf at the same height as the operating knob on the active leaf so the pair reads level.
15) I have Weslock knobs on my other doors. Will the Durham dummy match them?
It matches within the Molten Bronze collection in the Premiere style. Same cast bronze knob and rosette, same finish options, so a Durham dummy on the closet reads identically to a Durham passage or entry knob down the hall as long as you order the same finish, Oil Rubbed Bronze or Matte Black. Across collections the rosette profile changes, so matching by finish name alone is not enough.
16) Will the knob get scratched up during installation like cheaper sets do?
The knobs pull off the spindle for installation on the Molten Bronze line, so you mount the rosette and fit the knob afterward instead of wrestling a finished bronze knob against a screwdriver. That matters more on Oil Rubbed Bronze and Matte Black than on a plated finish, since a scratch on a living finish shows.
