New Orleans Wide Traditional Paired Dummy Handles

Hoppe New Orleans Wide Traditional Dummy Handlesets for Fixed Door Panels

When installing multipoint lock systems on double doors or entries with fixed panels, maintaining visual consistency across all surfaces creates a polished, professional appearance. MPLocks carries Hoppe's New Orleans Wide Traditional dummy pair handlesets specifically designed for these applications. Built on the wide 3965N backplate, these rigid handles mount securely without any moving parts, spindles, or lock connections—providing the same distinguished New Orleans lever profile found on active handlesets while serving purely decorative and grip functions on non-operating door panels.

Solid Brass Construction for Lasting Performance

These dummy handlesets feature solid brass construction, ensuring they withstand daily use as grip handles when entering or exiting through adjacent active doors. Unlike hollow or pot metal alternatives, Hoppe's brass construction resists flexing and maintains structural integrity over years of service. Available in Rustic Umber and Satin Nickel finishes, these handlesets coordinate seamlessly with other Hoppe New Orleans components throughout your entry system.

Wide Backplate Design for Enhanced Coverage

The 3965N wide traditional backplate measures larger than standard Hoppe plates, providing better coverage for doors with existing hardware prep marks or for applications requiring a more substantial visual presence. This wider profile complements traditional and transitional door styles while concealing imperfections in the door surface beneath the backplate edges.

Choosing the Right Dummy Configuration for Your Entry

Dummy handlesets work best on fixed panels that never open or on the secondary leaf of a double door that remains stationary during normal use. If your inactive door occasionally opens but doesn't require keyed entry, consider an inactive handleset instead, which includes a functioning lever connected to the multipoint system. When measuring for replacement, verify your existing backplate dimensions match the wide 3965N profile to ensure proper fit and screw hole alignment.
