Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular Full Length Entrance Handleset - Sandcast Bronze Tubular - Dummy

It's a dummy set, so there is no latch, no bolt and no cylinder. The handle is fixed and purely decorative, and the interior knob or lever you pick with it doesn't turn anything. Use it on the inactive leaf of a double door, or on a door held by a roller catch or magnetic catch. If you need the door to actually latch and key, you want the keyed entrance version of the same trim, not the dummy.

No door prep is needed. The 450623 is surface mounted, so it fastens to the face of the door with no cross bore or latch bore. That makes it the easy retrofit on a slab that's already hung, or on an inactive leaf that was never bored, and it's why a dummy set like this goes on in a fraction of the time a functioning handleset takes.

Because of the inside trim. Handing is required when a lever is used on the interior, since the lever has to swing toward the door edge on your hinge side. If you're pairing it with a knob, the knob itself is symmetrical, but handing is still asked for on the order so the set is built to the correct leaf. Sort out right hand versus left hand at the opening before you order.

You choose it, and it ships as a complete set with whatever you pick. There are ten sandcast bronze levers (Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton, Yuma) and fifteen knobs (Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town, Providence). Any sandcast bronze knob or lever can be ordered as the inside trim, so you can match whatever the rest of the house is running.

The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever is also a dummy-function handleset, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob is a dummy handleset with a knob interior instead of a lever. Both Weslock dummy sets cover a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, while the Emtek 450623 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek 450623 is a sandcast bronze set with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center handle, and the interior trim is chosen from the Sandcast Bronze knobs and levers.

The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob and the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset both run to 2 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch as a single cylinder set.

The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is non-keyed dummy trim, so it does not latch or lock. For a door that needs to secure, keyed handlesets in the same door thickness range include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever, a Grade 2 entrance set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset in satin nickel, an entry set over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. A common pairing is the dummy on the inactive leaf of a double door and a keyed set on the active leaf.

They are not the same. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entrance-function Grade 2 set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so it still operates a latch. The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is dummy function - surface mount with no door prep required - so it is pull trim only and holds nothing closed. If the door needs to latch without a key, the JE285 is the one to look at; if it is a fixed or inactive leaf, the 450623 is the dummy.

5-1/2 inches center to center. That's the figure to check against the existing holes if you're covering a previous handleset's fastener pattern, since a full length plate will hide the old footprint but the through-bolts still have to land. Measure the existing centers before you commit.

Sandcast bronze. Both the material and the substrate are bronze straight through, not a coating over a different base metal, which is why the three finishes (Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, Tumbled White Bronze) are living finishes that develop with handling rather than a plated topcoat. It's part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection.

It's a residential product. For a commercial opening or a graded spec, look at graded handlesets instead: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset are both Grade 2. Bear in mind those are functioning entry sets, not dummy trim.

Two other dummy handlesets to look at: the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever, both dummy function and both covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. That wider thickness range matters if your slab runs past 1-3/4 inches, which is where the Emtek 450623 stops.

That's exactly the pairing a dummy set is for. The 450623 is the non-keyed half of the Rustic Modern Rectangular trim, so it gives you the same rectangular full length plate and the same sandcast bronze finish on the inactive leaf that your keyed set carries on the active one. Order both in the same finish and the same interior knob or lever style so the pair reads as one opening.

The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is a tubular handleset in dummy function, surface mounted with no door prep required. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim, offered as a single cylinder set and a double cylinder set, both specified for 1-3/4 inch doors - mortise trim dresses a mortise lock body pocketed into the door edge rather than working from a tubular bore. That makes them different install paths, not interchangeable trim.

The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is a non-electronic, non-keyed dummy set. For an electronic front door, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset, the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and both cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset pairs Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and SmartKey, specified for 1-3/4 inch doors.

Among handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona are both Grade 2, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3. The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is a residential sandcast bronze handleset in dummy function, which is pull-only trim rather than a graded latching lock.

The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is sold as a complete set, with the inside knob or lever selected from the Sandcast Bronze trim at the time of order. That differs from exterior-only handlesets such as the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador and the Kwikset 687BW SMT Belleview, which are listed as exterior only, and from sets that name their interior trim in the model, such as the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Alcott Knob and the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Carnaby Knob, both entrance function.

Yes, split finish is an option you can specify on the order. That's how you keep a Medium Bronze exterior facing the street and run a different bronze on the inside to match interior trim. Standard build is a single finish across both, so if you want the split you have to call it out.

Tubular. That matters for anyone comparing it against mortise trim like the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont, which is mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door and needs a mortise pocket cut into the edge. The Emtek needs neither, since it's surface mounted dummy trim with no prep at all.

No. It's fully mechanical with no electronics, no batteries and no wiring. If you're after a keypad or app-controlled opening instead, that's a different category of product entirely, such as the Yale Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts with Ridgefield handleset or the Kwikset San Clemente handleset with a SmartCode electronic deadbolt.

The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is a bronze handleset in the Sandcast Bronze collection. Solid brass entry handlesets include the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston, all entry function. Those are keyed-entry style sets, where the Emtek 450623 is dummy function, so they suit a door that needs to latch rather than a fixed or inactive leaf.

The Emtek 450623 Rustic Modern Rectangular requires handing when a lever is used on the inside, and it is ordered right hand or left hand. By contrast, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 Interconnected Passage Lock with Keyed Deadbolt and Torino Lever is a passage-function Grade 2 interconnected set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which combines lever and deadbolt operation rather than serving as dummy trim.
