Emtek 4303 Richmond Dummy Entrance Handleset - Brass Tubular

It's a dummy set, so there's no latch, no cylinder and no key. The handle is fixed and acts as a pull with matching trim. Use it on the inactive leaf of a double door, a pantry or closet door, or anywhere you want the look of the Richmond entrance handleset without an operating lock. If you need the door to latch or lock, you want a keyed or non-keyed operating handleset instead.

Handing is required on the order, right hand or left hand, and it matters most if you choose a lever for the inside trim, since a lever has to point toward the hinge side. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand. Knobs are symmetric, but the order still takes a hand.

The 4303 is the dummy. Emtek's Richmond handleset is also built as a single cylinder entrance set, model 4313, which is the one that latches and takes a key. Common pairing on a double door: the 4313 on the active leaf, the 4303 dummy on the inactive leaf, both in the same finish and inside trim so the pair reads identically.

The Emtek 4303 Richmond covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker slabs, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder handleset rated 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock Standalone Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Handleset also covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches. Among non-keyed choices, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset goes to 2 inches.

The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever is the closest like-for-like: it is also a dummy function handleset, in the Premiere Essentials Series, and it fits doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. The Emtek 4303 Richmond is a brass tubular dummy handleset for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, with the inside trim chosen from Emtek brass knobs and levers. The Weslock 2815 arrives with its lever style fixed as New Heaven, so the choice between them is a trim-selection decision rather than a function one.

The Emtek 4303 Richmond is a non-keyed dummy handleset, so it does not latch or lock and suits an inactive leaf or a French door slab. For an opening that needs a key, keyed-entrance handlesets in the comparable set include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever, a Grade 2 entrance handleset for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset, an entry-function handleset for the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range. Both match the door thickness range the 4303 Richmond covers.

No. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entrance-function handleset, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which means it operates a latch without a key. The Emtek 4303 Richmond is a dummy handleset: it is surface mounted with no door prep and has no latch at all, so it pulls the door but does not hold it closed. Ordering a dummy where a non-keyed latching handleset was intended leaves the door swinging free.

They solve different openings. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim, offered in single cylinder and double cylinder versions for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it dresses a mortise lock body that must already be prepped into the door. The Emtek 4303 Richmond is a tubular handleset that surface mounts with no door prep and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. A slab cut for a mortise case takes the Baldwin trim; an uncut slab does not.

5-1/2 inches center to center. That's the figure to check against an existing handleset before you swap: if the old plate's mounting holes are on a different spacing, you'll have visible holes in the door face to deal with, since the Richmond is surface mounted and hides nothing.

Yes, and you have to. The inside trim is a required choice from Emtek's brass knob and lever range, everything from the Stuttgart and Athena levers to Orb, Square and Victoria knobs, plus crystal options like Windsor and Georgetown. It ships as a complete set with whatever inside trim you pick, so there's no second part to order.

Weslock makes two dummy handlesets we carry: the 2815 Hillcrest with the New Heaven lever and the 6695 Belmont with the Impresa knob, both rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. That wider thickness range is the practical difference, so on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches the Weslock sets are the ones that fit.

Tubular. That matters if you're matching an existing door: a mortise handleset needs a deep rectangular pocket cut into the door edge, and this one does not. As a dummy it's surface mounted anyway, so an unprepped door is fine.

The Emtek 4303 Richmond is a residential brass handleset. Where a graded product is required, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent Lever is Grade 2 in the F Series for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview single cylinder handleset is Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors.

Yes. The Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset comes with an Impresa Knob as the interior trim and covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. The Emtek 4303 Richmond reaches the same result differently: it is a dummy handleset ordered with the inside trim chosen from Emtek's brass knob and lever range, so knob styles such as the Providence, Victoria, or Egg knob are selected at order time rather than fixed by the model number.

The Emtek 4303 Richmond is a brass tubular handleset, offered in finishes including Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3), and Satin Brass (US4). Solid brass peers include the Deltana 803871B Hanover Handleset and the Deltana 825871 Kingston Handleset, both entry function, and the Deltana 815871 St. Ann Handleset, also entry function. The Deltana handlesets are keyed entry units while the 4303 Richmond is a non-keyed dummy, so pairing them on the same building keeps the material consistent while the functions stay distinct.

The Emtek 4303 Richmond is a non-electronic dummy handleset. For electronic access, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset with Halifax Lever pairs a Signature Series handleset with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both are keyed or credentialed entry assemblies rather than pull-only trim.

Those are not interchangeable. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset supplied exterior only, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it is half of a keyed assembly and expects a matching interior side and a bored door. The Emtek 4303 Richmond is sold as a complete non-keyed set with the inside trim included, surface mounted with no door prep, which is what an inactive French door leaf normally takes.

The Schlage Residential JI18/19 Interconnected Passage Lock with Keyed Deadbolt and Torino Lever is a Grade 2 passage-function interconnected set for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, giving a latching lever with a separate keyed deadbolt above it. The Emtek 4303 Richmond covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range but is a non-keyed dummy with no latch and no bolt, so it is a decorative pull for a leaf held by other means.

The Emtek 4303 Richmond is the non-keyed dummy half of that pairing, with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center handle spacing and brass construction for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. On the active leaf, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob is a single cylinder unit for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob is an alternative dummy for the inactive leaf if the whole opening is being matched in one brand.

Ten: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4) and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina with handling rather than hold its shine, so pick it deliberately. If the inside of the door needs to match a different palette than the exterior, a split finish can be specified on the order.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. It's part of Emtek's Brass collection in an American Classic profile, which is why the finish list runs to unlacquered and antique brass options that only make sense on a brass base.

Purely mechanical, with no electronics and no keyed cylinder. If you want a handleset with a keypad or app control, the Yale Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset covers standalone, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi versions, and Kwikset's San Clemente handleset pairs with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt.

The Emtek 4303 Richmond is ordered with the inside trim selected from Emtek's brass knobs and levers, and handing is required when a lever is used inside. Peers that pair a fixed handle with a named interior knob include the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Alcott Knob and the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Carnaby Knob, both entrance function, where the pairing is set by part number rather than chosen at order. The Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
