Frequently Asked Questions
What is a half-dummy lock?
A half-dummy lock is a type of door lock that is purely decorative and has no functional locking mechanism. It's essentially a handle or knob fixed to the surface of a door, giving the appearance of a working lock, but it can't be engaged or locked.
What is the difference between a dummy and a passage lock?
The main difference lies in their functionality. A half dummy door knob or lever is purely decorative and doesn't have any operational components. It's typically used on doors where a functioning lock isn't required, such as closet or cabinet doors. On the other hand, a passage lock is a functional lock that allows the door to be opened and closed freely without a key. It provides a latch mechanism to keep the door closed but doesn't require a key to operate.
What are dummy door handles used for?
They're primarily used for decorative purposes rather than functional ones. They're installed on doors that don't require a working lock but need a handle for aesthetic reasons or to provide a symmetrical look. These handles are commonly found on double doors, where only one door is operational, and the other is fixed in place. Half dummy door knobs and levers give a consistent appearance and complete the door's overall look, even though they don't have any operational function.
