Emtek 450211 Denver Entrance Handleset - Sandcast Bronze Tubular - Dummy

No prep. The Denver sandcast bronze handleset in dummy function is surface mount, so it fastens to the face of the door without boring a cross bore or latch bore. That is what makes it the usual choice for the inactive leaf of a pair of french doors or a closet slab that has never been drilled. It fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick.

It doesn't. Dummy means a fixed pull with no latch, no cylinder and no key, so the door has to be held shut by a roller catch, a ball catch or the active leaf beside it. If the opening needs to secure, the Denver in dummy is the wrong function to order.

5-1/2 inches center to center between the upper and lower fixings on the Denver sandcast bronze handleset. Measure the two existing screw centers on the plate you are pulling off: if they are not 5-1/2 inches apart you will be drilling new holes, and since this is a surface mount handleset there is no latch prep to line up either way.

Handing is required on the order, right hand or left hand, and it matters most when the inside trim is a lever, since a lever has to fall toward the hinge side. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand. With a knob inside, handing is less visually critical but is still part of the order.

Two other dummy handlesets worth looking at: the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever from the Premiere Essentials Series, also 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Both go thicker than the Denver's 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range, so on a 2 inch door the Weslocks are the ones that fit. What they don't offer is sandcast bronze, and neither lets you pick from twenty-five interior knobs and levers the way the Denver does.

The Emtek 450211 Denver covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door is outside its range. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder with Hudson knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy with New Heaven lever both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For doors thicker still, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

The Emtek 450211 Denver is a dummy-function handleset, so it has no latch and no cylinder - it is trim for an inactive or fixed panel. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever is also a dummy handleset, in the Premiere Essentials Series, with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob is another dummy handleset, in the Elegance Series, also 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Denver differs in construction and inside trim: it is sandcast bronze and the inside knob or lever is chosen separately from the Sandcast Bronze range.

The Emtek 450211 Denver is non-keyed dummy trim, so it will not secure an opening. For a keyed exterior door, the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry handleset in the F Series, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - the same thickness range the Denver covers. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset with SmartKey is Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry for thicker doors, 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

No. The Emtek 450211 Denver is dummy function - surface mounted with no door prep and no working latch, so the door it trims does not latch at all. The Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is described as non-keyed but is an Entrance-function Grade 2 handleset in the J Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, meaning it operates a latch without a key cylinder. If the panel needs to latch shut, the JE285 is the one that does it; if it is a fixed or inactive panel that only needs matching trim, the Denver is the correct type.

You pick it, and it is required to complete the order. The Denver ships as a complete set with any of the sandcast bronze levers, Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton or Yuma, or any of the bronze knobs, including Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town and Providence. Nothing else needs to be bought separately for the inside.

Yes, that is the normal way this gets specified. Order the Denver in an active function for the leaf that operates and the 450211 dummy for the leaf that stays fixed, both in the same finish and the same inside knob or lever, and the pair reads identically. The dummy carries no cylinder at all, so it never needs to be keyed into the rest of the house.

It's a residential product, and the dummy function carries no grade and no latching at all, so it doesn't belong on a commercial entrance. For a graded residential-style handleset the Schlage F60 Addison is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2.

The Denver is tubular, which means shallower prep and a simpler install, and in dummy form it needs no prep at all. A mortise handleset takes a deep pocket routed into the door edge and is the heavier duty construction, typical of trim like the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim, which is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. For an inactive leaf or a pull-only application there is nothing a mortise buys you.

No - the Emtek 450211 Denver is a non-electronic, non-keyed dummy handleset. For an electronic opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt in the Signature Series for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Assure BYRD226CBARX pairs 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 over the same thickness range.

The Emtek 450211 Denver is sold as a complete set but requires you to specify the inside Sandcast Bronze knob or lever, and handing when a lever is used. Handlesets that ship with their interior trim already paired include the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever, and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob, an Entrance-function set. Those remove the trim selection step; the Denver keeps it so the inside trim can be matched across a range of bronze knob and lever styles.

No. The Emtek 450211 Denver is a tubular handleset that mounts to the surface with no door prep, so it does not fill or use a mortise pocket. For an existing mortise prep, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the matching type, offered as single cylinder and as double cylinder, both Entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek 450211 Denver is a residential sandcast bronze handleset. Where a facility spec calls out a stated grade, the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2 in the F Series, the Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is Grade 2 in the J Series, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3.

The Emtek 450211 Denver is a bronze handleset in the Sandcast Bronze collection, offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze. If solid brass entry construction is what the job calls for, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all solid brass entry handlesets. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is an entry-function single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range as the Denver.

Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are living sandcast bronze finishes, so they shift with handling and weather rather than staying uniform, which is the point of the Rustic Living look. If the exterior handleset and interior trim need to differ, a split finish can be specified on the order.

Sandcast bronze, cast rather than stamped or plated, and part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection. Cast bronze gives the heavier hand feel and the irregular surface a plated zinc handleset can't reproduce, and it is why the finishes patina instead of chipping.

The Emtek 450211 Denver is dummy trim with no latch, so it suits a fixed or inactive panel rather than a door that swings and latches. For a passage opening, the Schlage JI18/19 with Torino lever is a Grade 2 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt in the JI Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the Denver's thickness range. The Yale BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
