Is it possible to use this set on an inactive door instead of purchasing the matching dummy set? This one is MUCH lower priced than the dummy.

It can be done. But it would be a lot of work. You still have to drill the holes

Are you referring to just the Tavaris Handle or the deadbolt as well? Yes it can be done. But it would be easiest to do by drilling the full bore holes for both the deadbolt and the tavaris handle/vedani handle as mentioned previously. The bottom hole for the Tavaris Would need to drill all the way through and include the screw cover on the interior. Are you suggesting instead of the full dummy Tavaris (2 half dummy) Tavaris or something else?

You could make it work. You'll need longer fasteners and there will be a 3.5" - 4" gap between between the ends, so I'd advise you forge something to bridge that. Maybe punch the bottom out of an appropriatly sized cookie-tin from the grocery store. This would likely be cheaper than any kit you could buy. The price alone is worth the door's 4 way lock.(4 ways: this way, that way, both ways, no ways.)

We have ours on a metal door. Our house was broken into and we used these for the replacement. 2 weeks later, another burglary was attempted however they were unsuccessful with the entry because of this set! Highly recommend them. Love it!!

It's basically a pair of magnets. As long as you position them so they are together when the door is closed, and apart when opened, it will work.

This particular model will not work on a door that opens out. But we do have a product that will work on outwardly opening doors. I will add it to my inventory on Amazon shortly. Thank you for your interest!

I hope so and I think so. Much better price than most I have seen, and two work very well for me with a door that I guess probably weighs 18-20 pounds (never weighed it). The two I have on my door seem to have a little more lift power than needed, so I am guessing (a lot of guesswork here) these should work for you.

Not certain how "dummy" you need. The only way these are affixed to the door is to have the grooved rod go through the door -- the knobs screw on to the grooved rod on either side of the door. They also really need a brass door plate on both sides of the door for the base of the handles to securely fit into in order to stabilize the handles. I have used these door knobs in doors with locking mechanisms that the rod slides through -- so that when the handle is turned the door latch opens. But I see no reason why the rod can't just go through the door to hold the two handles in place.

I would recommend you buying another set of door anchor as the the one that comes with this kit does not disperse the load on the door well. For light exercises it is fine but when you go heavy on lats it does not spread the load across the door frame as well as door anchors with a bigger cushion. Look up GoFit door anchor or Ripcords Resistance anchor and buy a set of 2 from those. They are much better on the door frame.

sounds like you have the same door as me. the flaps do NOT work on mine. there is only one in the package and it is the wrong one

You need a track that's more than double the width of the door in order to open it all the way and have room for the door stops. So probably 84-86" minimum would do. This track is too short for that. You can put any door pull on you like, don't have to use the one that comes with the set if that's what you mean by the hardware

The smaller piece can go on the door frame instead of the wall. I placed it right on the ledge that the door closes against. There, the two pieces match up just right. The two parts must match up for it to work.

It would be best to purchase one for each door so you have independent control of each door. They work great. Mine triggers a welcome home scene if it is after dark.

I suspect the answer to this question will be difficult to ascertain. I replaced an existing Kwikset handle set and thought that it would be safe because Baldwin and Kwikset and now both owned by Black and Decker (IMO the lower end Baldwin sets are now more like high end Kwikset ... still way nicer than the Kwikset and Schlage I've owned in the past). Still, the hole for the bottom handle (the small one where the bottom of the handle meets the door) did not line up and I still haven't been able to work out a solution. It is not a big deal because it is mostly just aesthetic and if I can find the right machine screw I can fix it, just haven't been able to yet. The previous owners had also never installed a deadbolt so I measured and drilled for that separately. If I already had a door drilled for a deadbolt I probably would have gone with a handle set that had a separate dead bolt. All that said, if this is the set your really want, Amazon does have great customer service and a pretty liberal return policy so if it did not fit you could return with little difficulty. The handle set is very nice otherwise and I am quite pleased, although I saw some disturbing Youtube videos of fishtail attacks that were possible against these kind of SmartKey locks. I might not have bought them had I already seen those, but I had already bought and installed Baldwin SmartKey locks for the whole house before I did. They are still really nice locks and I do really like the ease of re-keying and fact that I was able to make all locks work off the same key without a locksmith so I guess you have to weigh those factors. Here are some rough measurements I took from my door if these help at all: Center Dead Bolt Cylinder to Center Handle Cylinder: 5.5" Center Handle Cylinder to Center Bottom Handle: 8.25"

I can see why. I did buy the unit bc it was alot less in $$ than the Boss. The door is so cheap on this unit! I am soooo careful when I open and close it so I don't break it. So far I'm ok but I know it will go some day. Right now I treat it like it's a fine crystal :<) My brother has one also and he uses his with the door open bc it won't shut. If you can't return it at least you know you can use it still.

I wouldnt recommend playing with it. It is a model and therefore bery fragile. Also, the doors are solid and so not open. I am sure of you have the know how you could cut the doors and make rhem so they open, but i wouldnt recommend it. Yes it comes woth detailed instructions. Again, very fragile once put together. Best put in a display case for looking not touching.

In one way it is preferable to use the one that comes with the product because it actually serves as an anchor for the knocker against the door - in fact I did not drill holes for the screws. I used the viewer to hold the knocker in place. On the other hand I did not find that the viewer that comes with the knocker to be very effective in identifying someone one the other side. If you have better viewer and as long as it threads through the hole provided and is the right length I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I didn/t purchase 'dummy brackets', I purchased the real thing! We haven't installed them yet, as we haven't finished our new home yet, but they are beautiful vintage looking doorknobs, that fit with the look we want in our new home. My granddaughters says it will make our 8 foot French doors look like a castle! Amazon does have glass knobs that fit single doors, as I have also purchased those for single doors in the house, and they are beautiful! What that don't carry, are 'privacy' knobs - which are knobs that lock, so I had to order those elsewhere on the internet. All I found on Amazon were 'passage' knobs, which do not lock, for single doors. Hope this helps! I didn/t purchase 'dummy brackets', I purchased the real thing!
