Emtek 3045 Hera Brass Mortise Entrance Handleset - Dummy

No. The 3045 Hera is a dummy handleset, which means it is non-keyed and has no working latch or cylinder. It is surface trim for a fixed or inactive leaf, most often the non-operating half of a double door or a pantry/closet door that is pulled shut. If you need the door to latch and key, you want the entrance (keyed) version of the Hera mortise handleset instead.

Yes, and it is not optional. Handing is required on all Emtek mortise handlesets, so the Hera 3045 is ordered either left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, on your right it is right hand. Every finish is offered in both LH and RH, so handing does not limit your finish choice.

It ships as a complete set, but the interior trim is a choice you make when ordering. The Hera dummy handleset can be paired with any Emtek brass knob or lever for the inside, and the selection runs from contemporary shapes like the Stuttgart and Helios levers, the Ace and Spoke knobs, and the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments, through traditional levers and crystal knobs. Pick the interior style at the same time as the finish and handing.

Standard build is for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the usual thickness for an exterior or entry slab. Thicker doors are accommodated, but you have to state the actual thickness when you order so the spindles and fasteners are sized for it. A 1-3/4 inch door needs nothing specified.

That is exactly what it is for. Order the keyed Hera mortise entrance handleset for the active leaf and the 3045 dummy for the inactive leaf in the same finish and the same interior knob or lever style, and the pair reads as one set from the street. Handing still has to be called out on each, since the two leaves are opposite hands.

The Emtek 3045 Hera is a dummy-function brass handleset, so the nearest peers by function are the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob, both catalogued as dummy handlesets. The Weslock 2815 fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the 6695 fits the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, while the Emtek 3045 is built around a standard mortise ANSI A115.1 prep on a 1-3/4 inch door. The practical difference is the door prep: the Weslock dummies mount to a surface-style bore pattern, and the Emtek 3045 carries the mortise-style trim footprint.

The Emtek 3045 Hera is non-keyed and dummy function, so it will not lock. For a keyed opening, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is offered in single cylinder and double cylinder entry mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, which keeps you on a mortise body. If a bored prep is acceptable, 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, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

No. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry-function handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, meaning the latch still operates and holds the door closed. The Emtek 3045 Hera is dummy function, which is fixed trim with no latch action, intended for an inactive leaf or a door held by other means. Both are non-keyed, so they can be confused on paper, but they behave differently at the opening.

Six: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Satin Brass (US4). All six are solid brass, and all six are available in both handings. Note that Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will darken and patina with handling, so if you are matching several openings that need to stay uniform, one of the plated or coated finishes is the safer pick.

If the Emtek styling or the mortise-based Hera trim is not what you want, ZenSupply carries dummy handlesets from Weslock: the 2815 Hillcrest dummy with the New Heaven lever (Premiere Essentials Series) and the 6695 Belmont dummy with the Impresa knob (Elegance Series), both listed for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. Those cover a wider door thickness range out of the box, where the Hera is built for 1-3/4 inches unless you specify otherwise. Styling on both Weslocks is traditional rather than contemporary.

The keyed Hera mortise entrance handleset uses a standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1, a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and a Schlage C keyway, with ANSI F20 or F13 function. The 3045 dummy has none of that, since it is non-keyed trim with no lock body. If your door is already prepped for a mortise lock, order the entrance version; the dummy is for an opening with no mortise pocket to fill.

The Emtek 3045 Hera is built to 1-3/4 inch standard and a thicker door has to be specified at order. If you would rather order a set that publishes a wider range outright, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are keyed or single cylinder sets rather than dummies, so match the function to the opening.

The Emtek 3045 Hera requires a standard mortise ANSI A115.1 door prep and handing specified left or right. Sets built on a tubular or bored prep instead include the Sure-Loc Alta tubular handleset with adjustable backset, the Sure-Loc Aspen and Sure-Loc Madison keyed entry handlesets with adjustable backset, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those cover an entry function rather than the dummy function of the 3045.

Not as a like-for-like. The Emtek 3045 Hera is a non-electronic brass mortise handleset with dummy function. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth over the same thickness range, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever with a contemporary SmartCode electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are powered access-control sets on an active door, a different scope of work from a fixed dummy trim.

The Emtek 3045 Hera is sold as a complete set with an inside knob or lever selected as part of the order. If you only need the outside half, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and Kwikset 687BW Belleview are Grade 3 single cylinder keyed entry handlesets supplied exterior only for 1-3/4 inch doors, with the 687AMD offered in a SmartKey version and an SC1 keyway SmartKey version. Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is also a trim-only mortise set in single and double cylinder entry.

Residential. The Hera is a contemporary-styled solid brass handleset in Emtek's Brass collection, aimed at homes and residential entries rather than commercial openings with a Grade 1 spec. It is mechanical only, with no electronic component.

The Emtek 3045 Hera is a brass handleset in a contemporary style. For a more traditional profile in solid brass, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann, and 825871 Kingston handlesets, all solid brass in entry function, plus the 810871 Montego for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Baldwin Wesley handlesets are also available paired with an Alcott knob or a Carnaby knob in entrance function. Those are entry-function sets rather than dummies.
