Emtek 4302 Nashville Dummy Entrance Handleset - Brass Tubular

The Nashville 4302 is a dummy handleset, so there is no latch, no deadbolt and no key. It is a fixed trim set that mounts to the face of the door and does not operate anything. Use it on the inactive leaf of a double door, on a French or pantry door, or on a door that is held closed by a roller catch or a separate deadbolt. If you need the door to latch or lock, you want the keyed or passage version of the handleset instead.

Handing is required, right hand or left hand, and it matters because of the inside trim. A lever has to point toward the lock edge of the door, so a left hand door and a right hand door need different parts. Knobs are symmetrical, but the order still takes a handing selection. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand.

It ships as a complete set, but you pick the interior trim as part of the order. Any Emtek brass knob or lever works, and the choice is required, not optional. That covers levers like the Stuttgart, Athena, Luzern and Milano, knobs like the Egg, Octagon, Providence and Square, crystal knobs like the Windsor and Georgetown, and the L-Bar, T-Bar and R-Bar collections in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments. Nothing else is needed to complete the set.

Both are dummy handlesets, so neither latches. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest is offered with the New Heaven lever and covers a wider door thickness range, 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, while the Nashville 4302 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Where the Nashville pulls ahead is trim choice and finish: it is brass, takes any Emtek brass knob or lever inside, and comes in ten finishes including unlacquered brass. Weslock also lists the 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with the Impresa knob, again 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, if your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch.

The Emtek 4302 Nashville is a dummy, non-keyed handleset, so it pulls the door but does not latch or lock. For a door that has to secure, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with the Accent lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - the same thickness range the Nashville covers. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset is another entry-function set over that same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range.

The Emtek 4302 Nashville is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker slab, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, as does the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob, a single cylinder keyed set, also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note the Yale sets are electronic deadbolt handlesets, where the Nashville is a non-electronic dummy.

The Emtek 4302 Nashville is a tubular handleset that surface mounts with no door prep. A door already prepped for a mortise lock takes mortise trim: the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim, or the 6542 Tremont double cylinder version, both for 1-3/4 inch doors and both entrance function.

5-1/2 inches center to center. That is the figure that matters if you are replacing an existing handleset and hoping to reuse the through holes, or lining the new set up over an old paint or finish shadow on the door. Anything with a different center to center will leave holes showing.

Yes, split finish is an available option on the Nashville 4302 when you order. The handleset itself comes in ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Brass (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4) and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one to know about: it is left uncoated and will darken and patina with handling rather than staying bright.

It is a residential handleset, and the dummy function means it does nothing to secure an opening. For multifamily unit doors, an office suite or anything on a life safety path, this is the wrong part. Where a property manager can use it is on interior or decorative openings: the inactive leaf of a double door in a lobby, a French door, a closet or pantry slab.

The Nashville 4302 is non-keyed by design, so the keyed leaf has to come from elsewhere. Within the same brass, American Classic look, order the keyed version of the Emtek handleset in the matching finish and the same interior trim style so the pair reads as a set. If you are not tied to Emtek, keyed entry handlesets that cover the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range include the Schlage F60 Addison single cylinder with Accent lever and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder in satin nickel. Deltana also lists solid brass entry handlesets in the Hanover, St. Ann and Kingston series.

Two paths cover that. The Emtek 4302 Nashville is a dummy handleset, surface mounted with no door prep, in brass. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function handleset, Grade 2, in the J Series, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - it operates a latch without a key, where the Nashville dummy is fixed trim only.

They are different functions. The Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Wesley with Carnaby knob are entrance function sets, meaning they latch and key. The Emtek 4302 Nashville is a dummy, non-keyed handleset that mounts to the surface with no door prep. On an inactive or French door leaf where nothing should latch, the Wesley sets are not an interchange for the Nashville.

The Emtek 4302 Nashville is a brass tubular handleset. In solid brass, the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston are all entry function handlesets. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Deltana sets are entry function where the Nashville is a dummy.

The Emtek 4302 Nashville is a residential brass dummy handleset. Where a graded set is called for, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2 in the F Series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3, exterior trim only, for 1-3/4 inch doors.

Not directly. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset with SmartKey is supplied as exterior trim only, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the 687AMD SMC version is the same set with an SC1 keyway. The Emtek 4302 Nashville is sold as a complete set with the inside knob or lever included, and it is non-keyed.

Brass through, both the material and the substrate. It sits in Emtek's Brass collection in an American Classic style. Brass is what lets the unlacquered US3NL version patina naturally, and it is why the plated finishes hold up on an exterior-facing door better than a zinc or steel core would.

The Nashville 4302 is a mechanical, non-electronic dummy set, so there is nothing to wire or pair. If the goal is keyless entry with a handleset look, the electronic options are separate products: the Yale Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts with the Ridgefield handleset, in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and standalone versions covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the Kwikset 815 San Clemente handleset with the SmartCode keypad deadbolt and Halifax lever for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel is Grade 2, JI Series, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - the same range the Emtek 4302 Nashville covers. The Nashville is a dummy set with no latch and no deadbolt, taking a knob or lever for the inside trim.
