Emtek 4901-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a dummy handleset and when is it used?
A dummy handleset has no locking mechanism or latching function. It's used on doors that don't need to latch, like doors with separate deadbolts or surface-mounted hardware. Common applications include storm doors or decorative applications where the door latches by other means.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek 4901 Imperial dummy handleset fit?
Standard Emtek dummy handlesets typically fit door thicknesses from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Verify your door thickness before ordering. Some models include adjustable components for different door thicknesses.
3) Does this handleset require specific door preparation?
The dummy handleset requires standard handleset bore holes. Check the manufacturer's template for exact specifications. Most Emtek handlesets use standard spacing but verify measurements before drilling.
4) What brass finish options are available for the Imperial series?
Emtek brass finishes typically include polished brass, antique brass, and satin brass. The tubular brass construction provides durability. Verify the specific finish code when ordering to ensure color consistency with other hardware.
5) Can this dummy handleset be used on exterior doors?
Yes, the brass construction makes it suitable for exterior use. However, since it's a dummy set with no latching function, you'll need separate locking hardware like a deadbolt for security. Consider weather exposure when selecting finishes.
6) What's included with the Emtek 4901 Imperial dummy handleset?
Dummy handlesets typically include the exterior handle, interior handle, through-bolts, and mounting hardware. No latch or strike plate is included since dummy sets don't latch. Check the product specifications for exact components.
7) How do you install a dummy handleset?
Install by drilling the required bore hole, inserting the handles from each side, and securing with through-bolts. No mortising for latch or strike is needed. Use the manufacturer's template for proper hole placement and sizing.
8) Can you convert this to a functional handleset later?
No, dummy handlesets can't be converted to functional sets. They lack the internal mechanisms for latching. If you need latching function, order a functional handleset initially. The door preparation is different between dummy and functional sets.
9) How do you maintain brass handleset finishes?
Clean with mild soap and water, then dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For lacquered finishes, use appropriate brass cleaners sparingly. Regular cleaning prevents corrosion and maintains appearance.
10) What other Emtek handleset series complement the Imperial style?
Emtek offers various brass handleset series that can coordinate with Imperial styling. Browse our Emtek collection for matching deadbolts, knobs, and levers in similar finishes and design themes.
11) Are replacement parts available for Emtek handlesets?
Emtek typically stocks replacement components for their handlesets. For dummy sets, replacement needs are minimal since there are no moving parts. Contact the manufacturer with your model number for specific part availability.
