Emtek 3029 Sonoma Sandcast Bronze Mortise Entrance Handleset - Dummy

Yes, handing is required. It's ordered as either Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and all Emtek mortise sets require handing. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's a left hand door. Getting this wrong means the thumbpiece and lever/knob orientation come out backwards.

Standard build is for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the usual thickness for an exterior entry door. Thicker doors are handled by specifying the thickness at time of order, and there's a door thickness field on the order for exactly that.

It takes a standard mortise pocket per ANSI A115.1, with the lock case available in 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. If your door is already prepped for a standard mortise lock, measure from the door edge to the center of the handle hole to confirm which backset you're matching.

Yes, and it's a required choice. It ships as a complete set, but you select the interior trim from the Sandcast Bronze range: levers include Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton and Yuma; knobs include Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town and Providence.

The Sonoma 3029 needs a full mortise pocket cut per ANSI A115.1, so it's the wrong choice on a door bored for a tubular set. For a dummy handleset that mounts to a standard bored door, look at the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever or the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob, both listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is a dummy-function handleset, so it is surface-applied on an inactive or false door rather than latching. Two other dummy handlesets serve the same role: the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever, from the Premiere Essentials Series, which fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob, from the Elegance Series, fitting the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The Emtek 3029 is sandcast bronze and is ordered by handing with a choice of Sandcast Bronze knob or lever inside trim; the Weslock units pair with a specified knob or lever as named.

The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is non-keyed, dummy function, so it will not secure an entry door. For a keyed opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is single cylinder and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Kwikset's 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is Grade 3 for a 1-3/4 inch door and is supplied exterior only, with SmartKey in the 687AMD-S and SC1 keyway SmartKey in the 687AMD-SMC.

The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is a mortise lock requiring standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1 with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. If the door is bored for tubular hardware instead, the Sure-Loc Alta tubular handleset has an adjustable backset, as do the Sure-Loc Aspen single cylinder keyed entry, Madison keyed entry, and Coral handlesets. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Because the body is cast bronze rather than plated, expect some variation piece to piece, which is what gives the Rustic Living look its character.

Yes. The 3029 is the dummy configuration of the Sonoma mortise entrance handleset, so the same body and trim styling is available in a working keyed mortise version. Emtek mortise entrance sets use the Schlage C keyway, which is what lets you key a run of entry doors alike on a common key.

Different jobs. The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is a non-latching dummy in sandcast bronze, so it's trim only. For a working front door, Baldwin's Estates 6542 Tremont mortise trim comes in single or double cylinder entry for 1-3/4 inch doors and is the closest mortise equivalent; the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 keyed entry for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors on a bored prep rather than a mortise pocket.

They are not interchangeable. The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is a complete mortise entrance handleset sold as a set with exterior handle and a chosen Sandcast Bronze knob or lever inside trim. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is mortise trim in entrance function for a 1-3/4 inch door, offered as single cylinder or double cylinder. The Baldwin 6542 is trim for a mortise body rather than a dummy set, so specify which of those two roles the opening needs before ordering.

The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is a non-electronic mechanical dummy handleset. For a keypad or app-controlled opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey, RCAL latch and RCS strike on a 1-3/4 inch door. Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and BYRD226CBARX is the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version over the same thickness range.

The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is built for a 1-3/4 inch door as standard and accepts a thicker door when the thickness is specified at order. Peers that publish a wider range include the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder with Hudson knob at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Yale BYRD256 CBARX key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

Both are non-keyed handlesets, but they are prepped differently. The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is a sandcast bronze mortise handleset in dummy function, requiring mortise prep and handing, with UL 180 minute fire rating. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a Grade 2 J Series handleset in entrance function, non-keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Pick by whether the door is mortised and whether an operating latch is needed or a dummy pull is enough.

The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is cast in bronze and offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze. For a solid brass alternative in entry function, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston handlesets, all solid brass in entry function. Note the Emtek is dummy function and the Deltana units listed are entry, so confirm the opening needs an operating latch before swapping.

It's classed as residential door hardware, made of solid bronze. It suits homes, custom residential entries and multi-family or hospitality doors where the look is driving the spec, but it is not positioned as a commercial ANSI Grade lock.

Yes. Emtek publishes F20 mortise lock installation instructions along with technical specification sheets covering dimensions and door thickness for the brass UL mortise entrance handlesets, both available as PDFs with the product.

They solve different problems. The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is a dummy handleset with no latch or key. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, where retracting the lever also retracts the deadbolt. Choose the interconnected unit only where a latching, keyed egress function is needed; the 3029 is for an inactive leaf.

The Emtek 3029 Sonoma Sandcast Bronze handleset is a residential mortise set. If a graded product is required, the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2 in entrance function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Kwikset's 687BW Belleview single cylinder handleset is Grade 3 for a 1-3/4 inch door.

The Emtek 3029 Sonoma is sold as a complete set and can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze knob or lever for the inside trim, including Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester and Windsor knobs or Aurora, Durango and Teton levers. For a preset handleset plus knob pairing, Baldwin offers the Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Wesley handleset with Carnaby knob, both entrance function. The Baldwin pairings are fixed combinations, while the Emtek inside trim is selected at order.
