Emtek 1L1M55 Multi Point Lock Trim (Large Multi Point Entry Set) - Brass Plates, Melrose Style (2.9" x 17.5"), Dummy Pair

No. The 1L1M55 Melrose set is trim only: plates and handles. The multi point mortise lock box has to be ordered separately, so you need to know which gearbox your door already has (or spec one) before this goes on.

Dummy function means neither side operates anything. The levers are fixed, there is no latch, no key, and no cylinder action. It's used on the inactive leaf of a French or patio pair, or on a door that is held shut by other means, so the hardware matches the active door. If you need the door to actually latch and lock, this is the wrong item.

Each Melrose plate measures 2.9 x 17.5 inches with 3-5/8 inch center-to-center spacing between the handle and the cylinder position. That is the large multi point format. Measure your existing plate footprint and the existing bore spacing against those two numbers, because anything shorter than 17.5 inches will leave the old prep showing.

Handing matters here. You pick Right Hand (RH) or Left Hand (LH) when ordering, and it is a required selection. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and it swings away from you, that's right hand.

Yes, lever style is a required choice. There are 51 brass lever designs to pick from, including the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar groups in Faceted, Hammered, Knurled, Tribeca, Straight Knurled and White Marble, plus named levers like Athena, Luzern, Poseidon, Milano, Rope, Rustic, Santa Fe and Arts & Crafts. The set ships with the plates and the handles you select.

It's built and catalogued as residential hardware, solid brass plates and levers, for swinging patio and entry doors in homes. For a high-traffic commercial entrance you want a graded commercial lockset instead.

There's an optional door thickness field on the order. Fill it in with your actual slab thickness, since the spindle and through-bolt lengths on multi point trim depend on it. If you leave it blank you get the standard build.

No. This is a dummy pair, not keyed, and it takes no working cylinder. For a keyed opening on the same door style you want the active multi point trim with a euro profile cylinder instead, and you key that one to your existing system.

Nine finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and French Antique (US7). If you're matching other openings in the building, note that Unlacquered Brass will patina over time while the Lifetime finishes hold.
