Emtek 3104-RH-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 3104 Hamilton dummy mortise set actually latch, or is it just trim?
It's a dummy set, so there is no latching and no keying. The handle is fixed for pulling only, which is what you want on the inactive leaf of a double door or a closet/pantry door that is held shut by a ball catch or roller catch. If you need the door to latch, you need a keyed entrance or passage mortise function instead.
2) Do I have to specify handing on an Emtek Hamilton mortise dummy set?
Yes, handing is required on all Emtek mortise locks, and the 3104 Hamilton is built either left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's LH, hinges on your right it's RH. Order the wrong hand and the trim sits backwards on the door.
3) What door thickness does the Emtek 3104 Hamilton mortise set work on?
1-3/4 inch is the standard build, which is the usual commercial and most residential entry door. Thicker doors are handled by stating the actual thickness when you order, since the spindles and screw lengths are cut to it.
4) What mortise pocket prep does the Hamilton 3104 need in the door?
Standard mortise prep to ANSI A115.1, with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Because the prep is the standard one, a door already mortised for an ANSI A115.1 lock takes this set without recutting the pocket, though face-bore and trim hole locations still need to line up with the Hamilton plate.
5) Can I choose the inside knob or lever on the Emtek Hamilton 3104?
Yes, and you have to. The inside trim is a required selection from Emtek's full range of brass knobs, levers, and crystal or porcelain knobs, including Stuttgart, Athena and Luzern levers, the Ace and Spoke knobs, and Windsor or Bristol crystal knobs. It ships as a complete set with the trim you pick.
6) What is the commercial alternative to the Emtek 3104 Hamilton dummy mortise set for a Grade 1 opening?
The Emtek 3104 Hamilton is a residential brass dummy mortise set with no keying. For a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy, the Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 non-keyed mortise half dummy lever trim in the L Series, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek carries a decorative brass trim program with knob, crystal and lever choices; the Schlage L0170 is a heavy duty lever trim.
7) If the door actually needs to latch, what should I order instead of the Emtek 3104 Hamilton dummy?
The 3104 Hamilton is a dummy set, so it has no latch and no key function. For a latching non-keyed mortise on the same opening, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch.
8) I need a keyed entry mortise body in the same residential style as the Emtek 3104 Hamilton - what else works?
The Emtek 3104 Hamilton is the dummy version and is non-keyed. For a keyed residential mortise body of similar type, Baldwin's 6301 is an entry/apartment mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, offered knob by knob or, as the 6301LS, lever by lever. Baldwin's 6310 is an entry/storeroom mortise body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over.
9) Which backset should I order, 2-1/2 or 2-3/4 inch?
Match what the door is already cut for. Measure from the edge of the door to the centerline of the existing spindle or knob hole: 2-1/2 inch is common on residential mortise work, 2-3/4 inch on commercial prep. Both backsets are available on the 3104 Hamilton.
10) What finishes does the Emtek Hamilton mortise dummy come in?
Eight: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). All are available in both hands. Unlacquered brass is a living finish and will patina, so don't pair it with a lacquered US3 set on adjacent openings if you want them to stay matched.
11) Is this a residential or commercial lock, and what's it made of?
Emtek lists the Hamilton as residential, solid brass in an American Classic style. For a commercial opening needing an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 mortise body, look at the Corbin Russwin ML2003 or the Cal-Royal NM8050 instead.
12) I need the keyed version of this Hamilton set for the active door, what keyway is it?
Emtek's Hamilton mortise entrance locks use the Schlage C keyway, so a keyed Hamilton on the active leaf can be keyed alike with other Schlage C cylinders in the building. The 3104 itself is the dummy and takes no cylinder.
13) Is the Falcon MESC600DT dummy trim a substitute for the Emtek 3104 Hamilton?
No. The MESC600DT is a dummy escutcheon lever trim made for Falcon M9900 Series exit devices, so it mounts to an exit device opening. The Emtek 3104 Hamilton is a brass mortise dummy set for standard mortise ANSI A115.1 door prep with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. They are both called dummy, but they serve different door preps.
14) What should I use instead of the Emtek 3104 Hamilton on a school or institutional door?
The 3104 Hamilton is a residential brass dummy set with no latch or key function. For classroom and institutional openings, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option.
15) Does the Emtek 3104 Hamilton need handing like a Baldwin mortise body does?
Yes. The Emtek 3104 Hamilton requires handing, ordered left hand or right hand, as all Emtek mortise locks do. Some peers differ: the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock is field reversible, and the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body with public entrance function is also field reversible. Baldwin publishes handing in the part number, such as the 6310190RRLS right hand reverse lever by lever mortise lock.
16) Is there a privacy option to pair with the Emtek 3104 Hamilton on bedroom and bath doors?
The 3104 Hamilton is a dummy set with no privacy function. For privacy on a mortise prep, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
17) Can I match the Emtek Hamilton dummy to a Baldwin mortise lock already on the other doors?
Not as a trim match. The Baldwin 6301 and 6310 mortise bodies use a 2-1/2 inch backset and their own escutcheon designs, so the Hamilton plate and Baldwin plate won't read as a set on adjacent openings. If you're standardizing on Baldwin, use Baldwin trim; if on Emtek, keep the whole opening Emtek.
18) Can I use an electronic mortise lock in place of the Emtek 3104 Hamilton dummy set?
Not as a direct swap - the 3104 Hamilton is a non-electronic brass dummy set with decorative trim and no credential. If access control is the goal, the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) What is the difference between the Emtek 3104 Hamilton dummy set and a mortise thumbturn like the Sargent 130W?
The Emtek 3104 Hamilton is a complete brass mortise dummy set ordered with a knob, crystal or lever for the inside trim, on standard mortise ANSI A115.1 prep. The Sargent 130W is a standard duty mortise thumbturn with a round backplate, and the Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn - both are single operating pieces, not a set.
