Dummy Cylinder Handlesets

A double door handleset with a dummy is a great option for doors where you don’t need to worry about security and privacy. Dummy handlesets have no mechanical latch mechanism and are usually flush-mounted, so they don’t require a mortise or holes through the face of the door. Shop dummy cylinder handlesets to match your active handleset on double doors at Door Locks Direct.

FAQs

Where would you use a dummy knob?

A double door handleset with a dummy is ideal for any door that doesn’t require turning or latching. This often includes the inactive side of French doors and double doors, closet doors, pantries, and utility rooms. They may also be used to add a decorative touch to doors where actual latching isn’t needed.

Why is there a dummy handle on a double French door?

French doors usually feature a handset with a dummy on the inactive side for the aesthetic of symmetry. In many cases, only a single door requires opening and closing, making two latching mechanisms on both doors unnecessary. Some double doors have no latching and utilize ball catches or flush bolts on the top to keep the doors closed. Dummy handlesets provide a balanced look without the complexity of locking mechanisms.

What is the point of a dummy door knob?

They enhance the visual appeal of doors, adding symmetry for balance. Various styles and finishes also give doors a more polished and sophisticated appearance. While primarily decorative, they make interior doors, such as pantries and closets, easier to open and close.

How does a dummy door knob stay closed?

Though they’re non-functional and lack a latch, these dummy handles most commonly stay closed through flush bolts, or ball or magnetic catches. Magnetic catches use a magnet and a strike plate to hold the door closed, ball catches use a spring-loaded ball that fits into a corresponding hole in the frame, and flush bolts use a sliding bolt that extends into the upper or lower door jamb. A double door handleset with a dummy may also feature friction hinges or tension rods to stay closed.
