Emtek 4208 Hercules Knurled Monolithic Dummy Set Entrance Handleset - Brass Tubular

Handing is required. Right hand and left hand are both offered, and handing is called out whenever a lever is used on the inside trim or an interconnect device is specified. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand.

The inside trim is a required choice, not an accessory. The 4208 takes any Emtek brass knob or lever, and the range runs from contemporary bar and knurled shapes (T-Bar Knurled, L-Square Straight Knurled, Conical Knurled) through traditional levers and knobs (Milano, Turino, Providence, Waverly) to crystal and stone options (Windsor Crystal, Modern Disc Crystal, White Marble). The set ships complete with whichever interior trim you specify, so nothing else needs ordering to finish the opening.

It is a residential product. The 4208 Hercules is a brass residential handleset, so for a commercial corridor or an opening on a code-driven spec it is not the right family. If you are buying for multi-family common areas or a light commercial entry and want a graded product, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset is Grade 2 and fits the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range.

The 4208 Hercules has no cylinder, so for a keyed opening go elsewhere. Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Kwikset 687AMD Amador is a Grade 3 single cylinder handleset with SmartKey, exterior only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in satin nickel covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. For solid brass in the same spirit as the Emtek, Deltana's Hanover, St. Ann and Kingston handlesets are entry function in solid brass.

The 4208 Hercules is a dummy set and is not keyed, so it is meant for an inactive leaf or a door that never latches. For a keyed opening, the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry handleset fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which matches the same door thickness range as the 4208. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder handleset in an entry function over that same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is a Grade 3 single cylinder keyed entry handleset for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest is also a dummy-function handleset, paired with the New Heaven lever, and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Weslock 6695 Belmont is another dummy handleset, supplied with the Impresa knob, over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range. The Emtek 4208 is a dummy set in brass with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center handle and takes its inside trim from Emtek's own knob and lever range, so the choice comes down to whether you want the trim selected separately or supplied as a fixed pairing.

Yes. The Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a Grade 2 handleset in a non-keyed entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the handle operates a latch without a cylinder. The Emtek 4208 Hercules is a dummy set, which is fixed trim rather than a latching function, so the JE285 is the one to specify when the door has to stay closed on its own.

The Emtek 4208 Hercules covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder handleset rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset both run 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so either keeps the dummy function on a 2 inch door. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset also covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

Eight finishes: 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). Two of those behave differently over time. Unlacquered brass has no clear coat and will darken and patina with handling, which is the point of it, and French Antique is a deliberately aged look. If you want the finish to stay as delivered, the plated finishes are the ones to pick.

Two dummy handlesets sit alongside it. Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob is dummy function for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever is dummy function across the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch range. Both cover thicker slabs than the Emtek 4208, which tops out at 1-3/4 inch, so if you are trimming a 2 inch door those are the ones to look at.

That is the usual way it gets used. Since the 4208 takes any Emtek brass knob or lever inside and comes in eight finishes shared across the brass line, you can run the same exterior look and interior trim style on a French door pair or a fixed panel that a keyed set would be wasted on. Specify the same finish code and the same knob or lever pattern across the openings and the doors read as one suite.

The Emtek 4208 Hercules is brass and comes in eight finishes including Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), French Antique (US7) and Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B). In solid brass entry handlesets, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all in an entry function. The difference to weigh is function: the Deltana sets are entry, the 4208 is a dummy set.

No. The Emtek 4208 Hercules is a tubular set with a dummy function and no cylinder. Mortise trim is a different item: the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered in a single cylinder version and a double cylinder version. If the door is prepped for a mortise body, the 6542 trim is what mates to it, not the 4208.

The 4208 Hercules is a non-electronic dummy set. For an electronic opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever handleset with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and SmartKey for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Assure BYRD226CBARX combines a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same handleset over that range.

No. The 4208 Hercules is a dummy set with no latch or cylinder. For an interconnected arrangement, the Schlage JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the same door range the 4208 covers.

The Emtek 4208 Hercules is sold as a complete set with the inside trim specified from the Emtek knob and lever range. If you need exterior trim alone, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview are supplied exterior only, both Grade 3 single cylinder keyed entry for 1-3/4 inch doors, with the 687AMD-SMC carrying an SC1 keyway with SmartKey.

Not quite. Sets such as the Baldwin Wesley handleset with the Alcott knob and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with the Carnaby knob are supplied as a fixed handle-and-knob pairing in an entrance function. The Emtek 4208 Hercules is a dummy set whose inside knob or lever is chosen at order time, so the interior trim is not tied to the handle.

The Yale Assure BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim over Wi-Fi for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale Assure Lock 2 BYRD256CBARX is a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and the Ridgefield handleset, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are electronic; the Emtek 4208 Hercules is non-electronic and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
