Emtek 1L1R15 Multi Point Lock Trim (Large Multi Point Entry Set) - Brass Plates, Modern Rectangular Style (2.5" x 17.5"), Dummy Pair

No. The 1L1R15 is trim only: the two plates and the handles. The multi point mortise lock box is a separate purchase, so you need to have the lock body already in the door or order one alongside. Plan on specifying the lock box to suit the door manufacturer's prep before this trim goes on.

Dummy means no working latch and no key. The plates and levers are fixed trim, pulled to move the door, with nothing operating behind them. That is what you want on the inactive leaf of a pair of patio doors, or on a door where the multi point mechanism is driven from the other side. If the door needs to lock, this is the wrong trim, you want a keyed or active multi point trim instead.

The plates are 2.5 by 17.5 inches with a 3-5/8 inch center to center between the handle and the cylinder hole, and the cylinder position sits below the handle. It is cut for a large multi point configuration referencing G-U door hardware. Measure your existing plate's handle to cylinder spacing: if it is not 3-5/8 inches, the holes in the door will not line up.

Yes, handing is required at order time, right hand or left hand. You also have to pick a lever style, and there is a field for door thickness so the trim is built to your slab. Get the handing wrong on a multi point trim and the lever throw sits backwards on the door, so stand outside the door looking in and note which side the hinges are on before you order.

Yes, and the choice is wide. Any Emtek brass lever can go on these plates, from the geometric L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families in Faceted, Hammered, Knurled, Tribeca, Straight Knurled and White Marble textures, through Athena, Helios, Hermes, Luzern, Poseidon and Stuttgart, to traditional shapes like Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Rustic, Santa Fe and Arts and Crafts. The plate stays modern rectangular whichever lever you pick, so you can soften or sharpen the look without changing the trim.

Seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). These are standard US finish codes, so matching hinges, deadbolts or interior levers across a house is a matter of ordering to the same code. Note that Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will darken with handling, so it will not stay identical to a lacquered brass piece next to it.

The plate is prepped for an American standard cylinder, mounted below the handle. Because this is the dummy version, no cylinder is supplied and none is needed for the trim to function, it does not lock. If you are running a keyed active trim on the companion leaf, keep both to the American cylinder format so a locksmith can key them alike.

It is a residential product. The 1L1R15 is solid brass trim for swinging patio doors in homes, not hardware built for commercial door traffic or code driven openings. For an apartment unit entry or a single family patio door it is at home; for a common area or a rated opening in a commercial building, look at Grade 1 commercial locksets instead.

Brass through and through. Both the substrate and the material are brass, and it belongs to Emtek's Brass collection, which is why it can carry finishes like Unlacquered Brass and Satin Brass rather than a coating over a lesser metal. For a coastal or high humidity patio opening, that matters more than the finish name on the box.

No, it is purely mechanical. There is nothing electronic in the 1L1R15, no motor, no keypad, no wiring, and nothing to run to the door edge. If you are speccing a patio door for access control, this trim will not take it.
