Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth Full Length Mortise Entrance Handleset - Dummy

Dummy function, so there is no latch, no cylinder and no keying. The 3036 Hercules Smooth full length handleset is a fixed pull that mounts to the door face and does not operate. Use it on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors, or on a French door slab where the other leaf carries the working lock. If the opening needs to latch, a dummy is the wrong function.

Handing is required, and it is an order-level choice, not something you flip in the field. The 3036 Hercules handleset is built left hand or right hand, and every finish is offered both ways. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, it is left hand. Get this wrong and the thumbpiece and trim sit backwards on the door.

Standard mortise prep to ANSI A115.1, with a backset of 2-1/2 or 2-3/4 inches. That means a mortise pocket routed into the edge of the door, not the two round bores a tubular handleset uses. If your door is prepped for a bored 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch cylindrical lock, it will not take this set without a new mortise prep. Doors ordered factory-prepped for A115.1 drop straight in.

The Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth full length handleset is a dummy function set built on a mortise lock body, so the door has to carry a standard mortise pocket. Where the door is bored rather than mortised, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest is a dummy handleset with a New Heaven lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont is a dummy handleset with an Impresa knob over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. Both are dummy function, so like the 3036 they are pull-only trim with no latch to operate.

The 3036 Hercules Smooth is non-keyed dummy trim, so it secures nothing. For a keyed opening in the same handleset format, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entrance mortise trim in both single cylinder and double cylinder versions for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the same door thickness the 3036 is built around and the same mortise lock case format. Where the door is not mortise prepped, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

No, and it is the substitution that trips people up most often. The Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth is dummy function - fixed trim with no operating latch. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is described as non-keyed but its function is entrance, a Grade 2 set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors that operates a latch without a key. If the door is an inactive leaf or a closet face that never latches, the 3036 is the dummy; if the door still needs to latch shut without keying, the JE285 is the one that does it.

The Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth is a residential solid brass handleset carrying a UL 180 minute fire rating and a standard mortise ANSI A115.1 door prep. Among peers, grade is where they separate: the Master Lock HDLB series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exterior handlesets are Grade 3. If a facility spec calls out a graded set, those are the peers that publish one; if the spec calls out a fire rated mortise opening, the 3036 is the one carrying the 180 minute UL rating.

Sold as a complete set, and the inside trim is your choice at order time from Emtek's brass knob and lever range. That includes levers like Hercules (HEC), Stuttgart (STU), Athena (ATH) and Milano (M), knobs like Round (ROU), Egg (E) and Octagon (OCT), and crystal options such as Windsor (WS) and Diamond (CK). You are picking the interior style, not adding a separate part number to the order.

Solid brass, both the substrate and the material, in the Emtek Brass collection. It is a residential product. For a commercial opening with traffic and grade requirements, look at a graded handleset instead, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison (Grade 2) or the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset (Grade 2).

That is the normal way it gets used on a pair. The 3036 is the non-operating half, so the active leaf takes a keyed mortise entrance set in the same Hercules Smooth style and the same finish, ordered to the handing of that leaf. Keep the inside trim selection identical across both leaves so the interior knob or lever matches.

Both are mortise-based brass entry trim, but they solve different pieces. The Emtek 3036 is a complete full length handleset set with the inside trim included and a dummy, non-operating function. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entrance function mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, offered single cylinder or double cylinder, so it locks. Pick the Baldwin if the leaf has to secure; pick the Emtek if it is a fixed pull.

The Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth is built around a 1-3/4 inch door as standard. For a 1-3/8 inch slab, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch as an entry function set. Both are bored-prep handlesets rather than mortise, so the door needs the corresponding bores rather than a mortise pocket.

The Emtek 3036 is built to 1-3/4 inch as standard, with thicker doors handled by specifying the thickness on the order. If you would rather order a set that carries the thicker door in its published range, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Yale set is an electronic keypad deadbolt rather than mechanical trim.

The Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth is solid brass in a contemporary style. Deltana builds several solid brass entry handlesets on the same footing: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry function handlesets. The difference to weigh is function - the Deltana sets are entry, the 3036 is dummy trim, so they are a match on material and body but not on what the door does.

The Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth is a mechanical, non-electronic dummy set. For a full length handleset with electronic access, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on a touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both drive a bored deadbolt rather than the mortise case the 3036 uses, so the door prep is not interchangeable.

The 3036 Hercules Smooth requires handing on every order - left or right must be stated, which is true of all mortise locks, and each finish is stocked as an LH and an RH variant. Handlesets built on a bored deadbolt and latch avoid that step: the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If the order is going out without a confirmed door hand, those avoid the mortise handing decision entirely.

The Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth puts the whole function in one mortise case, ANSI A115.1 prep, with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. For a door prepped with two bores instead, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB series is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset. Those are separate latch and bolt assemblies, so the door prep and the strike work differ from the mortise pocket.

The 3036 Hercules Smooth is sold as a complete set and can be ordered with any Emtek brass knob or lever for the inside trim, which is why the interior style is a required selection. Peer handlesets are generally paired at the part number instead: Baldwin ships the Wesley handleset as 180WYHXATK with the Alcott knob and 180WYHXCYK with the Carnaby knob, and Weslock ships the 2815 Hillcrest with the New Heaven lever and the 6695 Belmont with the Impresa knob. If the interior trim has to match knobs already hanging elsewhere in the building, the 3036 is the set where you choose it rather than take what the part number carries.

They are not interchangeable, though both are exterior-facing trim. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is a Grade 3 single cylinder keyed entry handleset, exterior only, for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered with SmartKey and in an SC1 keyway version. It is a keyed entry set, so it drives a bolt. The Emtek 3036 Hercules Smooth is dummy function and non-keyed - it is fixed trim for a leaf that does not operate, which is the usual reason a buyer is looking at a dummy in the first place.

Six: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). All six are available left hand or right hand. Unlacquered brass is the one to watch if you are matching existing hardware, since it is left bare to patina rather than clear coated.

The 3036 Hercules Smooth is a full length brass handleset in Emtek's contemporary style, so the plate runs the height of the grip rather than sitting as two separate rosettes. Paired with a lever like Stuttgart or Helios inside it stays contemporary; pair it with a crystal or Victorian knob and you get a mixed look, which some buyers want on interior doors.
