Sargent 65U93 KL Single Sided Dummy Lever — Commercial Trim

The Sargent 65U93 KL Single Sided Dummy Lever is a commercial-grade trim component designed for use on doors where no latching or locking function is required on one side. Often specified for inactive leaves, wardrobe doors, paired doors with an active and inactive leaf, or any application where a decorative lever pull is needed without mechanical hardware behind it, the 65U93 provides the look and feel of a full lever lockset while serving a purely aesthetic or ergonomic pull function.

The KL lever design delivers a clean, professional appearance consistent with Sargent's commercial trim family, making it well suited for office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, government buildings, and institutional interiors where coordinated hardware aesthetics are a specification requirement.

What Is a Single Sided Dummy Lever?

A single sided dummy lever (also called a dummy trim or dummy lever pull) is a fixed lever handle that is surface-mounted to the door face. It does not connect to a spindle, latch mechanism, or lock body — it provides a gripping surface for pulling the door without operating any internal mechanism. Common applications include:

• Inactive leaf of a pair of doors (coordinated with an active leaf lockset)
• Bi-fold or bypass doors requiring a pull handle
• Wardrobe, closet, or pantry doors with a surface bolt or other non-lever latching
• Any door where ADA-compliant lever-style grip is preferred over a knob or pull

Key Features

• Single sided configuration — mounts to one face of the door only
• Dummy (non-functional) trim — no spindle connection; purely a lever pull
• KL lever style — part of Sargent's recognized commercial lever family for consistent design across a project
• Commercial construction — built to Sargent's commercial trim standards for durability in high-use environments
• Coordinates with Sargent 10 Line and compatible trim series — ideal for maintaining a uniform hardware package across active and inactive leaves

Typical Applications

• Office and corporate interiors — inactive leaf pull on double-door entries
• Healthcare and behavioral health facilities — non-operable lever trim on designated doors
• Educational facilities — classroom or corridor door inactive leaf
• Government and institutional buildings — coordinated hardware specification packages
• Retail and hospitality — decorative lever pull on non-latching doors

Specifier and Installer Notes

When specifying dummy trim for a paired-door application, confirm that the active leaf is specified with the appropriate Sargent lockset function (e.g., passage, office, storeroom, or classroom) and that the dummy trim finish matches the active side trim for a cohesive appearance. Sargent's commercial lever trim line offers a range of finish options — verify the finish code with your order to ensure project consistency.

For projects requiring comparable dummy lever trim from alternative commercial hardware lines, DoorwaysPlus can also quote equivalent options from Corbin Russwin, Hager, and PDQ — preferred lines known for stable part availability and service-friendly designs.

Why Choose Sargent 6500 Series Hardware?

When you choose the Sargent 65U93, you are investing in hardware that is backed by over a century of security innovation.
