Emtek 3048 Lugano Brass Mortise Entrance Handleset - Dummy

Yes, handing is required on all Emtek mortise sets, and the 3048 is stocked left hand and right hand. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, on your right it is right hand. Order the wrong hand on a mortise set and the trim will not sit correctly on the door.

The 3048 is offered in 2-1/2 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets and drops into a standard mortise pocket prepped to ANSI A115.1. If your door is already prepped for a mortise lock to that standard, the case will go in without recutting. A tubular handleset with a bored 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch hole will not work here, the door needs the mortise pocket.

Yes, the inside trim is your choice and it is a required selection. The 3048 pairs with any Emtek brass knob or lever, from contemporary options like the Stuttgart and Helios levers, the Ace and Spoke knobs, and the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families, through traditional Rope, Ribbon and Reed, Victoria and crystal knobs such as Windsor and Georgetown. It ships as a complete set with the trim you pick.

The Emtek 3048 Lugano is built around a 1-3/4 inch door as standard, with thicker doors specified at order. For thinner doors, 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 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

The Emtek 3048 Lugano is a dummy-function brass handleset, so it is surface-applied trim with no latching. Two other dummy handlesets serve the same inactive-leaf role: the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob, which covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever, also 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek is brass in a contemporary style with the inside knob or lever chosen separately from the Emtek brass trim range.

The 3048 Lugano is non-keyed dummy trim and will not lock a door. For a keyed opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, 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. If you want to stay with mortise trim, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is an entrance-function mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors.

If solid brass mortise trim is more than the opening needs, two dummy handlesets worth looking at are the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever, from the Premiere Essentials line and listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy with Impresa knob, Elegance Series, also 1-3/8 to 2 inch. Both cover a wider door thickness range out of the box than the Emtek, which is built around 1-3/4 inch standard. Neither uses a mortise pocket, so they are the better call on a door that is not already prepped for one.

Six: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). Each is available in both left and right hand. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than holding its as-shipped look, which matters if you are trying to match existing hardware in a building.

Emtek classes the Lugano brass handleset as residential hardware. It suits high-end homes, multi-family unit entries and hospitality doors where the look matters. For a commercial opening carrying an ANSI/BHMA Grade requirement on the drawing, spec a commercial mortise lock instead.

Order the Lugano 3048 dummy for the inactive leaf and the keyed entrance version of the same Lugano mortise handleset for the active leaf, in the same finish and with the same inside knob or lever. Because the dummy is non-keyed and has no working case, it gives you the identical exterior appearance without a second cylinder. Watch the handing, each leaf gets its own hand.

Not without specifying it. The Lugano mortise handleset is built to 1-3/4 inches as standard, and a 1-3/8 inch door is both thin for a mortise pocket and outside the default build. For a 1-3/8 inch door, look at a tubular dummy set such as the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest, rated 1-3/8 to 2 inches, or the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington at 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches on the entry side.

They are both mortise handleset trim but not the same function. The Emtek 3048 Lugano is dummy, non-keyed trim. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont comes as an entrance-function mortise trim in single-cylinder and double-cylinder versions, both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose the Baldwin when the door needs to lock and the Emtek 3048 when you want matching handleset appearance on an inactive or non-latching leaf.

The Emtek 3048 Lugano is mortise-type hardware prepped to standard mortise ANSI A115.1. If you would rather avoid mortise prep, the Sure-Loc Alta Tubular Handleset is a tubular handleset with adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Aspen, Coral, and Madison handlesets are also offered with adjustable backset. Note these are handleset functions rather than dummy trim.

Not on a like-for-like basis. The 3048 Lugano is a non-electronic, non-keyed dummy set. Electronic options in the same size class include the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version, both listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. All of these add a deadbolt bore and battery trim that the dummy Emtek set does not use.

The Emtek 3048 Lugano is a residential brass mortise handleset carrying a UL 180 minute fire rating. If your submittal calls for an ANSI grade instead, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever and the JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever are both Grade 2, the Master Lock HDLB series single-cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview single-cylinder handlesets are Grade 3.

The Emtek 3048 Lugano is a brass mortise handleset with a contemporary look, ordered with a matching brass knob or lever for the interior. Comparable solid brass handlesets include the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston, all solid brass entry handlesets. Those Deltana sets are entry function, while the Emtek 3048 is dummy trim.

Solid brass, both the substrate and the material, in Emtek's Brass Collection. Brass is the usual choice for exterior entry trim because it will not rust. The plated finishes (satin nickel, polished chrome, flat black, oil rubbed bronze) hold their appearance; unlacquered brass is deliberately left to weather and will darken unevenly with sun and hand traffic, which some buyers want and some do not.

Yes. The Emtek 3048 Lugano is a mortise set and handing must be specified left or right, with left-hand and right-hand builds offered in each finish. Many of the alternatives are not handed the same way: the Sure-Loc Aspen, Alta, Coral, and Madison handlesets are specified by adjustable backset instead, and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott or Carnaby knob is an entrance handleset rather than handed mortise trim.
