Emtek 450923 Brighton Entrance Handleset - Sandcast Bronze Tubular - Dummy

Both work. The Brighton sandcast bronze handleset covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which takes in standard commercial-weight residential entry doors at 1-3/4 and older interior doors at 1-3/8. There is a door thickness field on the order form, so state the actual thickness of your door when you place it.

It does not lock and it does not take a key. The 450923 Brighton is a dummy handleset: a fixed, non-functioning set with no latch and no cylinder, used on the inactive leaf of a double door, on a pantry or closet door, or anywhere you want the look of an entry handleset with no operation behind it. If you need the door to latch or lock, this is the wrong function.

No door prep is needed. The Brighton dummy mounts to the face of the door as a surface mount set, so there is no cross bore or latch bore to drill. That makes it a straightforward add to a door that has never been prepped, and it also means it will not fill an existing 2-1/8 inch bore if you are removing a working lockset.

Handing is required, and it drives the inside trim. If you order a lever for the interior, the lever has to swing the correct way for the door, so right hand or left hand must be called out on the order. Both RH and LH are offered. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand.

It ships as a complete set, exterior grip and interior trim together, but you choose the interior trim yourself when ordering. Twenty-five sandcast bronze options are available: ten 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 pair with the Brighton grip.

A dummy handleset is exactly the part for the inactive leaf, and the Brighton in sandcast bronze is one option. If you want a dummy in a different look, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob are both dummy function as well, and both are rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, so they reach thicker slabs than the Brighton's 1-3/4 inch ceiling.

The Brighton 450923 is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch door is past its range. Deltana's 810871 Montego Handleset is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, as are the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever, both in the Premiere Essentials line. If the door is thicker still, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Choose by function: the 2815 is dummy like the Brighton, the 2810 and the 1411 are single cylinder.

The Brighton 450923 is non-keyed with a dummy function, so it will not secure an opening. For a keyed entrance handleset on a residential door 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance-function set in the F Series, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset is an entry-function set over the same thickness range. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single-cylinder set built for thicker doors, 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Keep the Brighton for the inactive leaf of a pair and put the keyed set on the leaf that operates.

The Emtek 450923 Brighton is a dummy-function tubular handleset, so it is a surface-mounted pull with no latch and no key. Two Weslock dummy handlesets cover the same function: the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob, in the Elegance Series, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever, in the Premiere Essentials Series. Both are listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, where the Brighton covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Brighton is a bronze part in the Sandcast Bronze collection with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center, so the visual match to other sandcast bronze trim is the reason to stay with it; the Weslock pair is the alternative when a knob or lever style from those series is what the rest of the house already wears.

The Brighton 450923 is a tubular handleset that surface mounts with no door prep, and its dummy function means there is nothing to throw. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entrance-function mortise trim, offered as the 6542ENTR single cylinder and the 6542DBLC double cylinder, both for 1-3/4 inch doors - mortise trim dresses a lock body pocketed into the door edge, so the door has to be prepped for that body. If the door already carries a mortise pocket, the Brighton will not fill it; if the door is a blank slab or an inactive leaf, the surface-mount Brighton needs no machining at all.

Two directions. The Brighton 450923 is a non-keyed dummy: it does not latch, so the door needs a separate catch or a flush bolt to stay closed. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entrance-function set in the J Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the latch still operates while the exterior stays cylinder-free. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever is dummy like the Brighton, for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Pick the JE285 when the door has to latch and the Brighton or 2815 when it is trim on a fixed or inactive leaf.

No. The Brighton 450923 is a residential dummy handleset with no lock function, so it does no work on a unit entry door. For a rental entry, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and a Torino lever, Grade 2 in the JI Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which retracts latch and bolt in one motion. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series with entrance function. Both cover a door the Brighton is not meant for.

5-1/2 inches center to center between the handle mounting points. That is the number to check against the existing screw holes if you are swapping out another handleset, since anything that does not share the 5-1/2 inch spacing will leave old holes exposed on the face of the door.

Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are living bronze finishes from the sandcast collection, so expect variation piece to piece rather than a plated uniform look. If you want the exterior grip and the interior knob or lever in different finishes, there is a split finish option to call out on the order.

It is classed residential, and the dummy function means no latching or locking at all, so it is not a working commercial entry. Where a property manager needs a graded lockset on a unit or common door, the Schlage F Series and JE285 residential handlesets are Grade 2 and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 as well; the Kwikset 687 Amador and Belleview handlesets are Grade 3.

Tubular. That matters when you are matching hardware across a house: a tubular set and a mortise set are different preps and different backplates, so a Brighton tubular will not drop into a door prepped for a mortise body. Baldwin's Estates 6542 Tremont trim, by contrast, is entry mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is a different install entirely.

No - the Brighton 450923 is a non-electronic dummy set, a pull with no lock behind it. When the opening needs a code or a phone, the handleset and the electronic deadbolt come as one assembly. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset pairs Halifax lever interior trim with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt in the Signature Series, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Yale Real Living offers the Ridgefield handleset with several deadbolt heads: the BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen, the BYRD226CBARX with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD256 CBARX key-free touchscreen with passage handleset and trim, all listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

Not a drop-in one. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3 entrance-function handlesets for 1-3/4 inch doors, sold as exterior trim only - the 687AMD-S and 687BW-S carry SmartKey and the 687AMD-SMC uses an SC1 keyway with SmartKey. The Brighton 450923 is non-keyed and ships as a complete set, exterior handle plus the inside knob or lever chosen from the Sandcast Bronze trim. So the Kwikset parts answer a keyed exterior on an existing interior, while the Brighton answers both sides of a dummy opening in bronze.

The Brighton 450923 is a bronze handleset in the Sandcast Bronze style, aimed at a rustic look and offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze. Deltana's solid brass entry handlesets are the closest traditional-metal peers: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, each an entry-function set in its own series. The Baldwin Wesley handleset comes as the 180WYHXATK with an Alcott knob and the 180WYHXCYK with a Carnaby knob, both entrance function. Those are keyed entry sets, where the Brighton is a dummy - match the function to the door before matching the metal.

Bronze, both as the material and the substrate, sandcast rather than formed sheet. That is the heavier, textured look that goes with a rustic or lodge door package, and it is why finish variation between pieces is normal.

Yes, a split finish can be specified on the order. You pick the handleset finish from Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze, choose your interior knob or lever style, and then call out the split finish you want in the optional field. Useful when the exterior has to match other door hardware on the street side while the interior matches the room.
