Emtek 4207 Hercules Smooth Sectional Dummy Set Handleset - Brass Tubular

No boring needed. The 4207 Hercules mounts to the face of the door, so there's no cross bore, no edge bore and no latch prep. That's what makes a dummy set the practical choice on a slab that's already hung, or on an inactive door you don't want to cut. You do still need to get the two sections landed on the right layout, since the handle is a sectional design with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center between the mounting points.

Handing is required on the order, right hand or left hand, and it matters most if you're putting a lever on the inside. Emtek calls handing out specifically for lever interior trim; a knob is symmetrical and doesn't care which way the door swings, but the set is still ordered handed. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand.

It ships as a complete set, but you pick the interior trim when you order. The Hercules 4207 takes any Emtek brass knob or lever for the inside, so you're choosing from the full brass range: levers like the Hercules, Athena, Poseidon, Stuttgart and Helios, knobs like the Ace, Spoke, Orb and Round, the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar series in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments, and crystal knobs including Bristol, Windsor and Modern Square. Nothing to order separately, but nothing ships until you've named the trim.

Emtek lists the 4207 as residential, and it's a dummy with no latching function at all, so it isn't a fit for a commercial entry or a leased unit door where you need a lock. For a multi-family or light commercial opening, an entrance-function handleset with a stated grade is the right direction, such as the Master Lock HDLB Series Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset, or the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, also Grade 2. Where the 4207 does earn its place in a managed property is on the fixed leaf of a double front door, or on decorative interior openings.

The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever is a dummy-function handleset like the Emtek 4207 Hercules, which carries a Dummy lock function. The Weslock 2815 covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range against the Emtek's 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Weslock 2815 ships with a set lever, the New Heaven, while the 4207 is ordered with the inside knob or lever style chosen separately.

The Emtek 4207 Hercules is a dummy set and is not keyed, so it does not latch or lock. For a keyed opening on a residential door of the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset in the F Series with that same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset is another entry-function set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

No. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry-function set in the J Series - it operates a latch without a key. The Emtek 4207 Hercules is a dummy set with a Dummy lock function, meaning fixed trim with no latch action at all. Non-keyed and dummy are different functions, so the JE285 is not a drop-in for an inactive leaf and the 4207 will not hold a door closed.

The Emtek 4207 Hercules covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For a 2 inch door, the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and in dummy function the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest and Weslock 6695 Belmont both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Thicker still, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder set rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

Two other dummy handlesets worth comparing: the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob, from the Elegance Series, listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever, from the Premiere Essentials Series, also 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Both come as a fixed handle-and-trim pairing. The Emtek 4207 is the one to pick when you want to choose the interior knob or lever yourself and match a specific finish across a set of doors.

Eight: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4) and French Antique (US7). If you're matching a run of existing Emtek openings, note that US3NL is unlacquered and will patina over time rather than holding its as-shipped colour, while US14 is a lifetime finish. Pick by the US number rather than the name if you're specifying against an existing schedule.

5-1/2 inches between centers. That figure decides whether the 4207 lands over the holes left by whatever came off the door. Sectional handlesets mount as two separate pieces rather than one continuous backplate, so if the old set was a full-escutcheon tubular handleset, expect to patch or plug the exposed area rather than cover it.

That's the main use for it. Pair the 4207 Hercules dummy on the inactive leaf with a functioning Emtek handleset on the active leaf in the same finish and the same interior trim style, and the two openings read as one. Choose the same US finish code on both, and the same knob or lever from the brass range, since the 4207 accepts any of them. The dummy is tubular type trim, so it mounts to the surface while the active leaf gets the full prep.

The Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob is a dummy handleset supplied with a knob, in the Elegance Series, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek 4207 Hercules is also a dummy set and takes a knob for the inside trim - Orb, Round, Bern, Octagon, Square and other brass knob styles are selected at order time rather than fixed to the set.

The Emtek 4207 Hercules is a tubular dummy handleset that surface mounts with no door prep required, on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entrance-function mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door and comes in single cylinder and double cylinder versions. The Tremont trim requires a mortise pocket in the door; the 4207 does not.

The Emtek 4207 Hercules is a residential dummy set. Where a graded product is required, the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset with entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2 in the F Series. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3, both for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek 4207 Hercules is not an electronic product - it is a mechanical dummy set with no keyed function. If the opening needs keypad or app control, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Signature Series handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior trim with a Contemporary SmartCode electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock combines a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

The Emtek 4207 Hercules is a brass handleset in dummy function. Deltana's solid brass handlesets - the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston - are entry function, so they carry a working latch and key where the 4207 is fixed trim. On material the two lines are alike; on function they are not interchangeable.

No. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is sold exterior only, a keyed entrance trim without interior trim in the set, Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and is offered with SmartKey as well as with the SC1 keyway SmartKey version. The Emtek 4207 Hercules is sold as a complete set with the inside knob or lever included in the order, and it is dummy function rather than keyed entry.

The Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered paired with the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob and is entrance function on both. The Emtek 4207 Hercules is dummy function, and its inside trim is not fixed to two choices - the knob or lever style is selected at order time from the brass knob and lever range, with handing required when a lever is used inside.

The Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset is rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, while the Yale Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset, BYRD256CBARX, starts at 1-3/8 inch and runs to 2-1/4 inch. For a 1-3/8 inch door the Assure Lock 2 set is the one that fits.
