Verum Dummy Kit for single and double doors

Q: Can I use a Verum door lever as a dummy handle on a closet door?

Yes, Verum offers two types of dummy kits for closet doors. Type 1: Verum Dummy Kit makes installation on a single-sided door easy and ensures a perfectly tight fit. It's perfect for doors with previously installed third-party magnetic or mechanical catches, and is the recommended option for closet double doors paired with the Verum Stoppino concealed magnetic latch. Type 2: Verum Dummy Clever Kit integrates the magnetic catch function with an installation kit, featuring two magnets - one in the door leaf body and one in the door jamb - providing the cleanest design possible with no lip strike plate, latch bolt, or other projecting elements.

To install a Verum handle on a closet door: 1) Drill a 2" deep edge-side hole for the Verum Dummy Kit using a 1" drill bit (25.4 mm diameter). 2) Drill a hole in the door face for the spindle. For the minimal no-escutcheon look, this hole must be less than 20 mm in diameter. 3) Install the Dummy Kit body and the Verum Nuda collection handle.
