Emtek 4901 Imperial Dummy Entrance Handleset - Brass Tubular

Dummy function only. The 4901 Imperial is a non-keyed, surface-mounted set with no latch and no cylinder, so the handle doesn't turn anything and the door doesn't latch or lock. It's for the inactive leaf of a double door, a closet or pantry door held by a ball catch or roller catch, or a French door where a separate flush bolt does the holding. If you need the door to latch or key, you want an entrance-function handleset instead, like the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever or the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset.

Yes, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches is the stated range for the 4901 Imperial, which covers standard 1-3/4 inch exterior doors and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, look at a set with a wider range: the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob is listed 1-3/8 to 2 inches.

No prep needed. The 4901 mounts to the face of the door, so there's no cross bore, no edge bore and no mortise to cut. That makes it the fix when a door has no existing prep, or when you're adding matching hardware to a slab you don't want to drill through. It also means it can't be used where you need a working latch, since nothing passes through the door.

Handing is on the interior trim, not the exterior grip. If you pick a lever for the inside, the lever has to point toward the hinge side correctly, so right hand or left hand has to be specified. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand. With a knob on the inside the shape is symmetrical, but the order still takes a hand selection either way.

It ships as a complete set. You choose the interior trim as part of the order from Emtek's full brass knob and lever range, which runs from plain levers like Stuttgart, Athena, Poseidon and Milano through knobs like Orb, Round, Egg and Octagon, plus crystal options including Windsor, Bristol, Georgetown and Old Town, and the knurled and marble finishes in the L-Square, T-Bar, R-Bar and Conical groups. Nothing extra to source, but the trim choice is required, so make it before you place the order.

Use the 4901 Imperial on the inactive leaf and a keyed entrance handleset on the active one. The dummy carries no latch and no cylinder, so it just gives the fixed leaf a grip that looks identical to the working side. Match the finish and the interior trim choice across both and the pair reads as one set. For the active leaf, an entrance-function handleset like the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever or the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers the keyed side.

The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset comes paired with the Impresa knob and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek 4901 Imperial is also a dummy function handleset, in brass, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and its inside trim is chosen separately from a knob or lever range that includes the Ace Knob and the Round Knob. So the Weslock 6695 arrives as a fixed knob pairing, while the 4901 lets you specify the knob at order time and covers a slightly narrower thickness range.

The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest is a dummy handleset supplied with the New Heaven lever, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek 4901 Imperial is also dummy function and takes a lever such as the Stuttgart or Athena as inside trim, but handing must be specified as right hand or left hand when a lever is used inside. The Weslock 2815 comes as a set lever pairing; the 4901 is specified lever-by-lever with handing called out on the order.

A dummy handleset like the Emtek 4901 Imperial is non-keyed and has no latch or bolt, so an operating opening needs an entrance-function set. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with the Accent lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - the same thickness range the 4901 covers. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is another single cylinder handleset over that same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, in a satin nickel finish.

They are not the same function. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function handleset, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - a non-keyed set still operates a latch. The Emtek 4901 Imperial is dummy function, a fixed trim with no latch that surface mounts with no door prep required. If the door has an existing bore and needs a working latch, the JE285 is the match; if the door is inactive and gets no prep, the 4901 is.

The Emtek 4901 Imperial is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door in a dummy function, the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever both range 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If the door is thicker still, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder set covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

Seven: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Two of those behave differently over time. Unlacquered brass has no coating and will patina and darken with handling, which is the point if you want a living finish. Polished Brass Lifetime is coated to hold its shine. If you're matching existing hardware across a building, pick the one that matches how the old sets have aged, not just the name.

Yes. Split finish is an available option on the 4901 Imperial, so the exterior grip can run one finish and the interior knob or lever another. That's the usual move when the exterior of a house is bronze and the interior millwork is trimmed in nickel or chrome. Specify both finishes on the order; if you leave the split finish field blank, the whole set comes in the single finish you selected.

The 4901 Imperial is a residential-rated tubular set, so it's specified for houses, condo unit entries and the like rather than commercial traffic. For a commercial opening or a high-traffic multi-family corridor you want a graded product instead. Among graded handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset are Grade 2.

Two other dummy-function handlesets sit in the same slot. The Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever are both dummy function and both listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so they take a thicker door than the 4901's 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. The Emtek difference is the interior trim, which you pick from the full brass knob and lever range rather than getting a fixed pairing. Note that the Weslock sets ship with the knob or lever named in the model.

No - the Emtek 4901 Imperial is non-electronic and non-keyed dummy trim. For an electronic opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever handleset with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both drive a bolt; the 4901 is fixed trim only.

The Emtek 4901 Imperial is a residential dummy handleset in brass. Where a facility spec calls for a stated grade, the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is Grade 3. Note those are all keyed entrance sets rather than dummy trim, so they answer a different opening than the 4901.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, offered as a single cylinder version and a double cylinder version, and it dresses a mortise lock body. The Emtek 4901 Imperial is a tubular dummy handleset in brass with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center, sold as a complete set and surface mounted with no door prep. The 6542 assumes a mortise pocket is already in the door; the 4901 does not.

Deltana offers the 810871 Montego handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, plus the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann, and 825871 Kingston entry handlesets in solid brass. Those are entry function sets for the active leaf. The Emtek 4901 Imperial is the dummy counterpart for the inactive leaf, in brass, with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center and inside trim ordered from the Emtek knob and lever range so the pair reads consistently.

They solve a different opening. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are single cylinder keyed entry handlesets supplied exterior only, Grade 3, for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Amador is available with SmartKey or with the SC1 keyway SmartKey. The Emtek 4901 Imperial is sold as a complete set with both the exterior handleset and the inside knob or lever, non-keyed dummy function. An exterior-only trim will not give you an inside half.

The Emtek 4901 Imperial comes in Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7), and a split finish can be specified. Among the peers, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset is supplied in a satin nickel finish. If the doors already run unlacquered brass or French antique, the 4901 range covers those directly.

Not on function. The Baldwin Wesley handleset is an entrance function set, offered with the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob as fixed interior pairings. The Emtek 4901 Imperial is dummy function and non-keyed, and its interior knob or lever is chosen separately at order time. Swap to a Wesley when the opening needs to latch and lock; stay with the 4901 when it needs pull trim only.

The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, which brackets the 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range of the Emtek 4901 Imperial, and its dummy sibling in the same Premiere Essentials line is the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest. Running the 2810 on the active leaf and a matching dummy on the inactive leaf keeps one appearance across the pair.
