Yale Residential YR81AU-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Yale Augusta single dummy lever have a latch, or is it just a pull?
No latch and no lock. The Augusta single dummy is a fixed lever on a rose for interior doors that only need a push/pull, so the lever does not turn and nothing engages the frame. If you need a lever that retracts a latch on a closet or hall door, you want a passage function instead, like the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage lever, which carries the same Augusta trim design.
2) Do I have to drill the door for a dummy lever, or does it mount to the face?
The Augusta dummy mounts to the surface of the door, so there is no latch bore to cut at the edge. Where it is replacing an existing bored lockset, the standard prep is already in the door: 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. The rose covers that 2-1/8 inch hole, which is why a dummy swaps straight into an opening where the old lock came out.
3) Is the Augusta dummy lever handed - do I need to order left or right?
Non-handed. The YH Collection levers are built non-handed, so one part number works on a left or right hand door and you can stock a single item across a building. That is a real difference from some decorative dummies: Baldwin's Estate 5103 half dummy, for instance, is ordered as a distinct left hand or right hand item.
4) Is the Yale Augusta lever rated for an apartment building or light commercial corridor?
It is ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 2, which Yale positions as light commercial quality, though the product itself is catalogued residential. For a multi-family interior or an office closet door that is usually enough. If the opening takes real abuse, a Grade 1 dummy trim like the BEST 9K Series 1DT or the Accentra 455LN Augusta heavy duty dummy is the step up, and the 455LN keeps the same Augusta lever shape so the look stays consistent.
5) I have a fire rated opening - is the Yale YR81AU Augusta dummy lever the right choice?
A dummy has no latch, so it does not latch a door closed, and the Yale YR81AU Augusta is a residential Grade 2 dummy. Where the opening needs a fire rated lever, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever is fire rated for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Fixed dummy trim can still go on an inactive leaf, but the latching side should be one of those.
6) I need a working Augusta lever on the same door, not a dummy - what do I order?
The Yale YR81AU Augusta is dummy function, which means no latch and no lock - it is fixed trim for a push/pull door. For an opening that needs a latching lever with the same Augusta trim, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/hall/closet function from the 5300 Series, and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Augusta trim design from the 4600 Series. Pairing a dummy on the inactive leaf with a passage lever on the active leaf is the usual way a double door gets matching trim.
7) Do I need to specify handing for the Yale YR81AU Augusta dummy lever the way I do for a Baldwin half dummy?
No. The Yale YR81AU Augusta is a non-handed design, so one part number serves a left or right hand door. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is ordered by hand - there is a left hand version and a separate right hand version, both dummy function. On a multi-door order that difference matters: the Augusta ships as one line item regardless of swing.
8) Can the Yale YR81AU Augusta dummy lever replace a privacy lever on a bathroom door?
No. The Yale YR81AU Augusta is a dummy - no latch and no lock - so it cannot secure a bathroom. For privacy function on the same kind of interior door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever are both privacy/bed/bath function, and the Kwikset is Grade 3 fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Augusta dummy fits the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range but belongs on a door that only needs to be pushed and pulled.
9) Is one Yale Augusta dummy lever enough for a double door, or do I need two?
One. The Augusta YR81AU is a single dummy, so a pair of French or closet doors takes two of them, one per leaf. Some brands sell dummies only in pairs, the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy leversets among them, so if you are ordering per-leaf quantities check which way the item is packed before you count.
10) What finishes does the Yale Augusta dummy lever come in for matching existing door hardware?
Six finishes: 605 polished brass, 609 antique brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 626 satin chrome, and 10BP oil rubbed bronze permanent. For property managers matching a floor of doors, the BHMA numbers are the thing to match on rather than the name, since 619 and 626 read similarly in a photo but are different metals.
11) Can the Yale Augusta dummy lever be keyed or keyed alike with the rest of my doors?
No cylinder in it. The Augusta dummy is non-keyed, so it takes no key and cannot go into a keying schedule. If a door in the suite needs to be keyed, spec a keyed function on that opening and keep the dummy for the push/pull leaves.
12) Is the BEST 9K 1DT dummy trim the same thing as the Yale YR81AU Augusta dummy lever?
Both are single dummy trim, so both mount as fixed push/pull hardware with no latch, but they are not the same specification. The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1 heavy duty and non-keyed, while the Yale YR81AU Augusta is Grade 2 with the Augusta lever on a round rose. If a drawing calls out Grade 1 dummy trim on a commercial opening, the 9K 1DT answers it; if the job is matching residential Augusta trim on interior doors, the YR81AU does.
13) What other Grade 2 dummy levers are there besides the Yale YR81AU Augusta?
Two peers sit at the same grade and function. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty dummy, and the Callan Bentley dummy lever is a Grade 2 dummy in the Bentley series. The Yale YR81AU Augusta is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy with a round rose and concealed mounting screws. The choice among them is trim design and which family the rest of the doors already carry.
14) The Yale YR81AU Augusta is a single dummy - what if I need dummy levers on both sides of the door?
A single dummy covers one face of the door. Where both faces need fixed trim, the Emtek Arts and Crafts lever dummy and the Emtek Hammered lever dummy are both sold as dummy function pairs, as is the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair. On a pair of French doors the common pattern is dummy trim on the inactive leaf only, which is where the Yale YR81AU Augusta single dummy fits.
15) The door is already bored for a lockset - is the Yale YR81AU Augusta dummy the right part, or do I need a passage lever?
The Yale YR81AU Augusta dummy is surface mounted with no latch, so a bored door does not require it and a plugged 2-1/8 inch cross bore will still show behind the rose. Where the existing 2-1/8 inch bore should be used, a Grade 2 passage lever fits it: the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever is non-handed medium duty, the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Atlanta round trim passage leverset is Grade 2. Reserve the Augusta dummy for the leaf that stays fixed.
16) Does the Yale YR81AU Augusta dummy lever take a cylinder, and can a Schlage keyway be fitted?
No. The Yale YR81AU Augusta is non-keyed dummy trim, so there is no cylinder to key and nothing to rekey. Where a keyed Yale lock needs to run on a Schlage keyway, the Accentra 107S Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware is the part that does it, and on the Cal-Royal side the AG00 entrance lever and AG03 classroom lever are furnished with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different. Keying questions belong to those keyed functions, not to the Augusta dummy.
17) What comes in the box with the Yale Augusta single dummy, and do I need any other tools?
The box holds the lever, one rose, a strike plate, and two screws, and the mounting screws come pre-installed. Installation takes one tool thanks to the square spindle mounting system, and the screws sit concealed behind the rose so nothing shows on the face of the door.
18) How big is the rose on the Augusta lever - will it cover the old hardware's marks?
The Augusta uses a round rose. Yale publishes rosette dimensions for the oval and traditional rose shapes at 2-9/16 by 4-7/32 inches with a 1-1/32 inch lever center hole, so a round rose on the same platform will not cover as wide a footprint as those. On a repaint-free swap, the safest check is the 2-1/8 inch cross bore: anything outside that diameter is going to show.
19) Is there a lower grade round rose passage lever to pair with the Yale YR81AU Augusta on lighter duty doors?
The Yale YR81AU Augusta is Grade 2 with a round rose. For lighter interior duty, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Asheville passage leverset is Grade 3, and the Bravura Miramar round trim passage leverset is Grade 2. Grade 3 trim is rated for lower cycle counts than Grade 2, so match the choice to the traffic on that door rather than mixing grades across an identical set of openings.
20) What is the Augusta lever made of?
Metal construction throughout, with the strength coming from the interior sub-assemblies that Yale builds into every YH Collection lever. That is the same platform under the keyed YH functions, so a dummy on a closet leaf feels the same in the hand as the working lever on the door beside it.
