Frequently Asked Questions
- What does left-hand only mean for this product?
This dummy lever is configured for left-hand doors only. Left-hand means when viewed from the secure (keyed) side of the door, the hinges are on the left side. This product cannot be installed on right-hand doors. - How do I determine if my door is left-hand or right-hand?
Stand on the secure (keyed) side of the door. If the hinges are on your left, it is a left-hand door. If the hinges are on your right, it is a right-hand door. Refer to the handing diagram above for visual guidance. - What is a dummy lever and when is it used?
A dummy lever is a non-operating decorative lever that does not turn or operate a latch mechanism. It is used on the inactive side of double doors, decorative applications, or anywhere the appearance of a lever is required without operational functionality. - Can this be used with active Symmetry DISTRICT locksets?
Yes. The dummy lever coordinates aesthetically with active Symmetry DISTRICT entrance locksets, passage sets, and privacy locks, providing matching appearance across operating and non-operating doors within the same property. - What door preparation is required for installation?
Dummy levers require minimal door preparation compared to operating locksets. Installation involves drilling holes for the horizontal mounting screws and securing the lever assembly. No latch preparation, backset drilling, or strike installation is required. - Is there a right-hand version available?
Yes. The right-hand version is available as a separate product with different item codes. This product (7545LH series) is left-hand only and cannot be reversed for right-hand installation.
