Emtek 3125-RH-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 3125 dummy mortise entrance set actually latch, or is it non-functional trim?
The 3125 is a dummy set, so it does not latch or lock. It is non-keyed trim used on an inactive leaf of a pair, a false door, or a closet where you want the look of the mortise entrance set without any operating latch. If you need the working keyed version of the same rectangular entrance set, that is the 3525 entryset.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Emtek 3125?
Yes. Handing is required on all Emtek mortise locks, and the 3125 is ordered as either Left Hand or Right Hand for an in-swing door. Stand outside the door, on the side the exterior trim faces: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand. Get it wrong and the escutcheon and trim orientation will not match the opening.
3) What backset and door prep does the Emtek 3125 mortise set need?
It takes a standard mortise pocket prepped to ANSI A115.1, with a backset of either 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch. If the door is already mortised for a standard ANSI A115.1 prep, measure your existing backset from the door edge to the center of the spindle hole and order to match.
4) Will the Emtek 3125 work on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
Standard build is for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the usual thickness on an exterior residential door. Thicker doors are accommodated, but you have to state the actual thickness when you order, and there is a door thickness field for exactly that. Give the measured thickness of the finished door, not the slab spec.
5) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Emtek 3125 dummy mortise set for a non-operating door?
The Emtek 3125 is a residential dummy mortise entrance set in brass. Where a commercial spec is required, the Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed mortise dummy trim in the L Series with a dummy function, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek is handed left or right and is ordered as a complete set with a knob, crystal, porcelain or lever trim choice; the Schlage L0170 is half dummy trim.
6) I need the same look but the door has to actually latch - what do I order instead of the 3125?
The 3125 is a dummy, so it has no latch and no key function. For a working opening, Emtek's own keyed entry version of the same rectangular mortise set is product code 3525. If the job is commercial, latching mortise options include the Schlage PM010 Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Hager 3810S, a 3800 Series passage mortise lock with rose and 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch.
7) What knob or lever choices can I put on the Emtek 3125, and are they included?
It ships as a complete set, and you pick the inside knob or lever style as a required selection. The range covers bronze knobs and levers, crystal and porcelain knobs, and the modern bar and knurled families: levers like Stuttgart, Helios, Athena, Hermes, Luzern, Poseidon, Cortina, Milano, Turino, Rope and Santa Fe, knobs like The Ace, Spoke, Orb, Round, Egg, Providence, Waverly, Victoria and Lancaster, plus crystal knobs including Bristol, Windsor, Georgetown, Hampton and Old Town.
8) Is a Baldwin 6301 mortise lock body a substitute for the Emtek 3125?
No. The Baldwin 6301 is an entry/apartment function mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, sold in knob by knob or, as the 6301LS, lever by lever. The Emtek 3125 is a non-keyed dummy set with no working lock mechanism. If the opening needs an operating entry lock, the Baldwin 6301 works; if it is a fixed inactive leaf, the 3125 is the match.
9) What is the difference between the Emtek 3125 and the Falcon MESC600DT dummy trim?
Both carry a dummy function, but they serve different doors. The Falcon MESC600DT is dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 Series exit devices and is fire rated. The Emtek 3125 is a residential brass rectangular mortise dummy entrance set ordered handed, with the inside knob or lever style selected separately. Use the Falcon on an exit device opening and the Emtek on a standard mortise-prepped door.
10) For a closet or hall door where I just want free operation, is there a simpler option than a dummy mortise set?
Yes. The Emtek 3125 is a mortise dummy, so the door must already have the standard mortise pocket prep. On a door with a cylindrical bore, the Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation if the mortise pocket is there and you want the latch to work.
11) Can I use the Emtek 3125 on a classroom or storeroom door instead of a commercial lockset?
No. The 3125 is non-keyed with a dummy function and is a residential set, so it provides no security. Classroom and storeroom openings call for keyed commercial hardware such as the Cal-Royal NM8080, a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal NM8070 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset, or the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series.
12) For a bath or bedroom door, is the Emtek 3125 the right mortise set?
Only if the door does not need to latch or lock. The 3125 is a dummy with no privacy function. For privacy on a mortise-prepped door, the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) What finishes does the Emtek 3125 come in?
Three bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are offered in both left hand and right hand. These are living bronze finishes, so expect them to change slightly with handling and weather rather than stay uniform like a plated finish.
14) What keyway does the Emtek rectangular mortise entrance lock use?
The keyed version of this rectangular mortise entrance set uses the Schlage C keyway, which means it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C system by a locksmith. The 3125 itself is the dummy and is non-keyed, so no cylinder is involved.
15) Is the Emtek 3125 electronic or can it be made keypad operated?
It is a purely mechanical dummy set with no electronic option. If you want keypad or credential access on a mortise prep, that is a different product entirely, for example the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy Grade 1 electronic mortise lock or the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock.
16) I need keyless entry on the same door style - what replaces the Emtek 3125?
The Emtek 3125 is a non-electronic dummy set, so it cannot be converted to keyless. Electronic mortise options include the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy Grade 1 classroom mortise lock with 300 user codes for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch, the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock in privacy function with keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock.
17) Do I need to specify handing for a dummy set like the Emtek 3125, or can I use a non-handed lock?
Handing is required on the Emtek 3125 and on all Emtek mortise locks, so you specify left hand or right hand in-swing at time of order. If a non-handed or field reversible body suits the job better, the BEST 45H heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function is field reversible and the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 mortise passage lock is also field reversible.
