Yale Residential YR81SL-626-RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a single dummy lever like the Yale New Traditions Savannah YR81SL actually used for?
A single dummy is a pull handle, nothing more. The Savannah YR81SL has no latch and no lock inside it, so the lever is fixed and the door is held by whatever else you fit (a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch). Typical uses are closet doors, French door inactive leaves, and the inactive half of a double door where you only need something to grip. If you need the door to actually stay shut on a latch, you want a passage set instead.
2) Will the Yale Savannah dummy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The Savannah YR81SL covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which spans the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4 door. Nothing else needs to change between those thicknesses.
3) Does a dummy lever need a 2-1/8 inch bore hole drilled in the door?
The Savannah YR81SL is specified for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, so it drops straight into a standard bored door prep. That matters two ways: on an existing door that already had a knob or lever, the holes are there and you are just swapping trim; on a fresh slab you drill the full standard prep even though there is no latch going into the edge bore.
4) Do I have to order left hand or right hand for the Yale Savannah dummy lever?
Handing is an order choice here, left hand and right hand, and every finish is offered both ways. Pick it by which way the lever should point when you are looking at the face of the door the handle is on. Yale also builds the New Traditions levers field reversible, so a lever that arrives pointing the wrong way can be turned on site rather than returned.
5) Is the Yale Savannah lever rated for commercial use or just residential?
Residential duty. The Savannah YR81SL is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 3, which is the residential tier, and Yale catalogues it as a residential product. For a commercial opening in an office, school or multi-family common area, step up to a Grade 1 dummy trim like the BEST 9K Series 1DT, or the Grade 2 BEST 7KC Series 1DT for medium duty.
6) The Savannah YR81SL lever is a dummy - what should I order for a closet or hall door that needs a working latch?
The YR81SL Savannah is dummy function, a push/pull lever with no latch and no lock, so it will not hold a closet or hall door shut. For a latching non-keyed opening, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 passage lock covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - the same door thickness range the Savannah covers. In Grade 2, the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are round trim passage leversets.
7) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Yale New Traditions YR81SL Savannah single dummy lever for a high-traffic commercial opening?
The YR81SL Savannah is a Grade 3 dummy lever built for residential use. Where a heavy duty Grade 1 dummy trim is wanted instead, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 1 non-keyed dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta from the 5400 Series is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. Both hold the same dummy function - a fixed lever with no latch - at a heavier grade than the Savannah.
8) I need a privacy lever for a bedroom or bath instead of the Savannah dummy - what matches?
The Savannah YR81SL is non-keyed dummy function and does not lock, so a bath or bedroom door needs a privacy set instead. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the Savannah covers. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is another privacy option in a lever with round rose trim.
9) What is a fire rated alternative to the Yale Savannah YR81SL lever for a rated opening?
A dummy lever such as the YR81SL Savannah carries no latch, so a rated opening needs a latching set. The Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever both carry a fire rating and are non-keyed passage function, which suits a rated corridor or stair door that must not be locked.
10) What comes in the box with the Yale New Traditions Savannah dummy lever?
You get the lever, one rose, a strike plate and two screws. The screws are pre-started and the holding screws sit concealed behind the rose, so the finished side shows no fasteners. Note there is no latch in the box, because a dummy has none, so whatever catch is going to hold the door closed has to be bought separately.
11) Can the Savannah dummy lever be keyed or locked?
No. It is non-keyed and has no cylinder, no thumbturn and no pushbutton, so it cannot be locked in any way. For a bedroom or bath door you need a privacy function, and for anything with a key you need an entrance or storeroom function lockset.
12) I need a matching dummy lever for a pair of French doors, do I order two?
Yes, two. The Savannah YR81SL is a single dummy, one lever and one rose per package, so a pair of doors that both need a pull takes two orders, and you would normally take one left hand and one right hand so the levers mirror each other. If you prefer to buy a pair in one box, Emtek sells its Arts and Crafts and Cortina levers as dummy pairs.
13) What finishes does the Yale New Traditions Savannah lever come in, and can I match the rest of my doors?
Ten finishes, all available in both handings: 10BP Oil Rubbed Bronze Permanent, 605 Polished Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 613E Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze, 619 Satin Nickel, 620 Antique Nickel, 625 Polished Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome, BSP Black Suede Powder Coat and GM Gun Metal. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so if the locksets already on your doors are specified as 626 or 619 the dummy will read the same. Within New Traditions the Savannah shares its trim family with the Mesa, Niagara, Prairie, Vernal, Vidalia and Woodland levers, so you can mix lever shapes across a house and keep one finish.
14) Can I replace an old dummy knob with the Savannah lever without redrilling?
In most cases yes. A dummy knob on a residential door sits in the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore the Savannah uses, so pulling the old knob and mounting the lever is trim work, not carpentry. Check the door thickness is between 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inches, and remember a lever needs clearance to swing down, so on a door that closes tight to a wall or a cabinet the lever tail may foul where a round knob did not.
15) Is a half dummy lever the same thing as the Yale Savannah YR81SL single dummy?
They describe the same idea - one fixed lever on one face of the door - but the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is ordered handed as a distinct part number per hand, left hand as 5103 LDM and right hand as 5103 RDM. The Savannah YR81SL is a single dummy in dummy function and is ordered with a Left Hand or Right Hand selection on the same part. What is not interchangeable with either is a dummy pair: the Emtek Arts and Crafts lever dummy and the Emtek Classic Cortina lever dummy are supplied as pairs, giving a fixed lever on both faces.
16) What lever should I use if the door is thicker than the Savannah YR81SL covers?
The YR81SL Savannah covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker stock, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors specifically, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever is a Grade 1 vandal resistant set. These are latching functions rather than dummy trim.
17) If I want a keyed lever on the same door instead of the Savannah dummy, what are the options?
The Savannah YR81SL is non-keyed. For a keyed lever on a door of the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt. The Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 over that same thickness range.
18) Which levers look like a substitute for the Savannah YR81SL dummy but will not work as one?
Anything with a working latch or a credential is a different part despite sharing the lever form. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is a keypad set, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination covering doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is escutcheon lever trim for an exit device, and the Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device. None of those give the fixed push/pull lever the Savannah YR81SL provides.
19) I am standardizing dummy levers across a building - what dummy options are there beyond the Yale Savannah YR81SL?
For a residential-grade fleet the Savannah YR81SL is a Grade 3 dummy lever offered in ten finishes including 626 satin chrome, 619 satin nickel, 10BP oil rubbed bronze permanent and BSP black suede powder coat, in left and right hand. Stepping up, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. For heavier openings the BEST 9K Series 1DT and the Accentra 455LN Augusta are both Grade 1 dummy trim. On the decorative side, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes in handed left and right versions and the Emtek Hammered lever dummy is sold as a pair.
20) How hard is the Yale New Traditions Savannah lever to install?
One tool and a screwdriver's worth of work. The screws come pre-started in the rose so you are not chasing loose fasteners against a finished door face, the holding screws hide behind the rose, and the spindle is a strengthened square rather than a light stamped one. On a door that is already bored, an installer is measuring nothing.
21) Is there a metal Grade 3 dummy lever that matches other Grade 3 entry hardware in a rental unit?
The Savannah YR81SL is a metal-substrate Grade 3 lever, which puts it on the same duty tier as Grade 3 entry sets such as the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever (also rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors) and the Callan Artino and Bennett entrance leversets. For a landlord standardizing a building on one look, matching the finish code across those sets matters more than the model, since the dummy only has to look like its neighbours.
22) I like the round rose look of the Savannah YR81SL - what other levers use round trim?
The Savannah YR81SL uses a round product design with a round rose. Among other round trim leversets, the Bravura Atlanta, Bravura Orlando, and the Bravura Miramar in US4 satin brass are all round trim Grade 2 passage leversets, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 uses the 5048 rose. If square trim is wanted instead, the Bravura Tampa is the square trim version of that passage leverset.
23) Can a knob set be used in place of the Yale Savannah YR81SL lever on the same door prep?
The Savannah YR81SL is a lever with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore. Knob options in the cylindrical family include the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock with a Tudor knob, the Arrow HK11 turn-pushbutton entrance lock with a ball knob, and the Arrow MK33 asylum lock with a ball knob and a Schlage C keyway conventional cylinder. Those are latching, keyed or privacy functions rather than dummy trim, and where the swing is tight or the user needs a lever pull, a knob changes how the door is operated.
