Emtek 3108 Craftsman Mortise Entrance Lockset - Dummy

It's a dummy set, so there's no latch and no operation. The knob or lever is fixed and the set mounts to the door face as a pull only. Use it on the inactive leaf of a French or double door, or on a closet or pantry door that catches on a roller or magnet. If you need the door to stay shut on a latch, you want a passage or entrance mortise lock instead.

Yes, handing is required on all Emtek mortise locks. The 3108 Craftsman set is ordered left hand or right hand, so stand outside the door and note which side the hinges are on before you order. There is no field-reversible option here.

1-3/4 inches is the standard door thickness for the 3108 Craftsman mortise set, which is the usual thickness for an exterior or solid-core entry door. Thicker doors are handled, but the thickness has to be called out at the time of order rather than adjusted on site.

Standard mortise prep to ANSI A115.1, with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. If your door was already prepped for another ANSI A115.1 mortise body, the pocket should carry over; match the backset to what's cut so the trim lands where the existing holes are.

UL 180 minute fire rating, per the 3108 specification. That's a 3 hour rating on the mortise body, which is what you'd need on a rated opening in a multi-family corridor or stair.

The Baldwin 6301 is an entry / apartment mortise lock body on 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. The Baldwin 6310 is an entry / storeroom mortise lock body on the same 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over. The Emtek 3108 takes a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset with 1-3/4 inch standard door thickness, so the 2-1/2 inch Baldwin bodies line up with the same mortise pocket on adjacent doors.

The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 mortise non-keyed lever lock in half dummy trim, heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 3108 is a dummy mortise entrance set in brass with an Arts and Crafts styling and handing specified left or right. The Schlage is lever trim only in a commercial L Series line; the Emtek is a complete set that can be ordered with any brass knob, crystal and porcelain, or lever inside trim.

A dummy set like the Emtek 3108 has no latching function at all; it is non-keyed and mounts as trim only. For an opening that needs a latch that retracts, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, 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 to 2-1/2 inches thick.

Inside trim is a required choice on the 3108, and the list runs from Craftsman-appropriate options like the Arts and Crafts Lever, the Hammered Lever, the Ace Knob and the Ace Knurled Knob through to crystal and porcelain knobs such as the Windsor, Bristol and Ebony. Property managers standardizing a building can spec the same lever or knob style across every 3108 opening and just change handing door to door.

Four: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Every one of them is offered in both left hand and right hand, so a pair of doors swinging opposite ways still matches. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its as-shipped color.

The dummy version is non-keyed, with no cylinder and nothing to key. The 3108 specification calls out Schlage C keyway, so where you pair this dummy leaf with a keyed Emtek mortise set on the active door, the keyed one runs Schlage C and can be keyed alike into a Schlage C system.

Emtek classifies the 3108 Craftsman set as residential, in solid brass. It suits single-family, high-end multi-family units and boutique hospitality. For a school, healthcare or heavy commercial opening where a Grade 1 body is spec'd, look at the Schlage L0170 half dummy trim from the L Series, which is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed mortise dummy, or a Falcon MESC600DT dummy escutcheon lever trim.

The Emtek 3108 is a residential brass mortise set with a dummy function. Openings written to a commercial spec are served by Grade 1 heavy duty bodies instead: the Cal-Royal NM8050 office/entrance and NM8070 classroom, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series.

They take different door preps. The Emtek 3108 is a mortise lock requiring standard mortise prep to ANSI A115.1 with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with rose, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and installs in a bored cylindrical prep rather than a mortise pocket. On a door already mortised, the mortise body is the one that drops into the existing cutout.

No. The Emtek 3108 is a complete dummy mortise entrance set with knob or lever trim, non-keyed. A Sargent 130KB is a mortise thumbturn in the 8200 Series and the 130W is a mortise thumbturn with a round backplate in the 7800 Series, both single trim pieces rather than a set. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt-function mortise lock with no handing. Those bolt or turn; the 3108 does neither.

The Emtek 3108 requires handing specified left or right on every order. Among mortise bodies that do not, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty public entrance lock body is field reversible, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise lock is listed with no handing.

The Emtek 3108 carries a dummy function, so it does not lock or latch and suits an inactive leaf or a closet face. A bed or bath door that must lock from inside takes a privacy body: 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 to 2 inches thick.

A mortise dummy makes sense when the rest of the opening is mortise hardware and you want the trim, rose and escutcheon proportions to match the working leaf exactly. It's a complete set, sold as a pair of trims for both faces. If you only need trim on one side, a half dummy such as the Schlage L0170 covers that with no matching second face. Where the door is a glass front or a bottom rail application, neither applies and you're into a rail lock like the Kaba Ilco BR Series.

That's the design intent. The 3108 is Emtek's Craftsman series, styled Arts and Crafts, in solid brass. Unlacquered brass is the finish that reads most period-correct because it darkens with handling instead of staying bright, and the Arts and Crafts Lever and Hammered Lever trims carry the same vocabulary.

The Emtek 3108 is a mechanical, non-electronic mortise set. For access control on a mortise prep, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with classroom function for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches, the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader in privacy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
