Emtek 3039-RH-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 3039 dummy handleset actually lock, or is it just trim?
It is dummy trim only. The Emtek 3039 Transitional Heritage handleset is non-keyed with a dummy function, so there is no cylinder, no latch and no bolt operation. It mounts as a fixed pull, which is what you want on the inactive leaf of a double door, a French door pair, or a closet or pantry door that is held shut by a catch or ball catch instead of a latch. If you need the door to latch or lock, you need the keyed entrance version of the same handleset, not this one.
2) Do I have to specify handing on an Emtek 3039 mortise handleset?
Yes, and there is no universal option. Handing is required on all Emtek mortise sets, and the 3039 is ordered as either LH or RH. Every finish is offered in both hands, so pick the hand of the door first and then the finish. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door, hinges on the right is right hand.
3) What door prep does the Emtek 3039 mortise handleset need?
Standard mortise prep to ANSI A115.1, with a backset of 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch. That means a mortise pocket in the edge of the door, not the two round bores a tubular handleset uses. If your door is prepped for a tubular or cylindrical set you would have to route a new mortise pocket, so on a retrofit confirm the existing prep before ordering.
4) Can I choose the inside knob or lever on the Emtek 3039, or is it fixed?
The inside trim is your choice and it has to be selected when you order. Any Emtek Brass knob or lever works with the 3039, and the choices run from contemporary bars and knurled patterns (T-Bar Knurled, R-Bar Tribeca, L-Square Faceted, Conical Knurled) through levers like Stuttgart, Helios, Athena, Luzern, Geneva and Cortina, to traditional knobs such as Egg, Melon, Providence and Victoria, plus crystal options like Windsor, Bristol and Georgetown and marble tops in white. It ships as a complete set with the interior trim you pick.
5) I need a dummy handleset but my door is only prepped for a tubular set. What else can I use?
A tubular dummy handleset avoids cutting a mortise pocket. Two options we carry: the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob, also 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are dummy function like the Emtek 3039 but cover a wider thickness range and do not require ANSI A115.1 mortise prep.
6) My door is thinner than 1-3/4 inches - what handleset fits instead of the Emtek 3039?
The Emtek 3039 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, with thicker doors specified at order. For a thinner door, the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What other dummy handlesets are available if the Emtek 3039 is not the right style?
The Emtek 3039 Transitional Heritage is a brass mortise handleset in a dummy function. Two Weslock dummy handlesets cover the same non-operating application: the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob in the Elegance Series, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever in the Premiere Essentials Series, also listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Both come with the interior trim paired at the part number, while the 3039 lets you choose the inside knob or lever style.
8) I need a keyed entry handleset instead of a dummy - what should I order?
The Emtek 3039 is a dummy, non-keyed handleset, so it will not lock or latch. For a keyed opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder keyed entry for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Emtek 3039 uses a standard mortise ANSI A115.1 door prep, while those two are bored-door products.
9) Is the Baldwin 6542 Tremont mortise trim an alternative to the Emtek 3039?
Both are mortise-family products, but the functions differ. The Emtek 3039 Transitional Heritage is a complete dummy handleset set with no keying. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered as single cylinder or double cylinder. Choose the Baldwin 6542 when the opening needs a working keyed entry mortise lock and the Emtek 3039 when the door is inactive and needs matching appearance only.
10) What finishes does the Emtek 3039 Transitional Heritage handleset come in?
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 in both left and right hand. Unlacquered Brass is a living finish, so it will darken and patina with handling rather than stay bright, which matters if you are trying to match an existing lacquered brass opening.
11) Is the Emtek 3039 handleset solid brass, and is it meant for commercial use?
Brass through the body and trim, and it is classed as residential rather than commercial hardware. For a house, condo, or multi-family unit entry it is the right class of product. For a commercial opening carrying an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 requirement on the drawing, this is not the set to spec.
12) I want the same Emtek look on the active leaf that locks. What do I pair with the 3039 dummy?
Match it with the keyed entrance version of the Emtek Transitional Heritage brass mortise handleset in the same finish and the same interior trim style, and order that one to the hand of the active leaf. The 3039 has no cylinder and no latch, so it can only serve the inactive side of the pair. If you would rather use mortise entry trim from another brand on the active leaf, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is available in single or double cylinder and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) Do I have to specify handing like the Emtek 3039 requires on other handlesets?
Handing is required on the Emtek 3039 because all Emtek mortise locks are handed, and it is ordered left hand or right hand. Tubular handlesets in the comparable range avoid that step: the Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 keyed entry handleset and the Sure-Loc Alta AT507 tubular handleset are both built with an adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Coral CR507 and Madison MA507 handlesets are the same way. If handing on a jobsite order is a risk, those are the non-handed route.
14) Can I get an electronic handleset instead of the Emtek 3039?
The Emtek 3039 is a mechanical, non-electronic dummy handleset. For a keypad or app-controlled opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever with a contemporary SmartCode electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. A standalone touchscreen version, the Yale BYRD226NRRX, covers the same door range without network connectivity.
15) What solid brass handlesets compare to the Emtek 3039?
The Emtek 3039 Transitional Heritage is a brass handleset in a brass substrate. Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets in the same material family: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all cataloged as entry function. The difference in application is function - the Deltana sets are entry, while the Emtek 3039 is a dummy with no latching or keying.
16) Is the Kwikset 687 Amador a substitute for the Emtek 3039 dummy handleset?
No. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is a Grade 3 single cylinder keyed entry handleset supplied as exterior trim only for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered with SmartKey or with the SC1 keyway version. The Emtek 3039 is a dummy handleset sold as a complete set with an inside knob or lever of your choosing. If you want exterior trim only, the Kwikset 687 or the Kwikset 687BW Belleview fills that role; if you need both sides finished on an inactive door, the Emtek 3039 does.
17) What handleset should I use if the opening needs a graded product rather than the Emtek 3039?
The Emtek 3039 is cataloged for residential use. Where a graded mechanical handleset is called for, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent Lever is Grade 2 in the F Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that both are keyed entrance products, not dummies, so they are not a like-for-like swap on an inactive door.
18) I want a handleset with a separate deadbolt above it instead of the Emtek 3039 mortise set - what are the options?
The Emtek 3039 is a single mortise case using a standard mortise ANSI A115.1 prep. For two-bore installations, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 pairs 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 Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
19) How does the Emtek 3039 compare to the Baldwin Wesley handleset?
The Baldwin 180WY Wesley handleset is an entrance function set offered with paired interior trim, either the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob, so the knob choice is made by part number. The Emtek 3039 Transitional Heritage is a dummy function handleset and the inside knob or lever is selected as a separate option on the same model, with finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Satin Brass US4.
