Emtek 7995 Rope 5-1/2" Center-to-Center Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Dummy (Pair) - Brass Tubular

Dummy function only. The 7995 Rope sideplate pair has no latch and no key cylinder, so it doesn't operate or secure anything. Both sides mount as fixed trim for pulling a door open or closed. Use it on closet doors, pantry doors, one leaf of a double door, or any inactive leaf where you want the sideplate look to match a working opening. If you need the door to latch, order the same Rope sideplate in an operating function instead.

No boring. The 7995 Rope dummy pair is surface mount and needs no door prep, so it screws straight to the face of a slab. That's the practical difference from the operating versions of the same sideplate, which take a standard 2-1/8 inch bore. It's a good pick for retrofitting an unprepped closet or pantry slab where you want the plate to match the rest of the openings.

Handing sets which edge of the door the sideplate reads to and, on levers, which way the lever points. The 7995 requires right hand or left hand at order time. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it's right hand. Get it wrong on a lever and the lever tips the wrong direction.

The 7995 is non-keyed and won't lock anything. For a sideplate entry set with a working deadbolt, look at the Omnia D12036A, a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, or the D12036AC, the double cylinder version. Single cylinder takes a key outside and a thumbturn inside. Double cylinder needs a key on both faces, which people specify next to glass so an intruder can't reach through and turn it, but check your local code first since some jurisdictions restrict double cylinder on an egress door.

The Omnia D12036PD is the nearest match: a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing, carrying a double dummy function. The Emtek 7995 is likewise a dummy-function sideplate lockset on 5-1/2 inch center to center in brass, sold as a pair. Both put a non-operating lever and plate set on each face of the door at the same plate spacing, so a door prepped for one takes the other.

The Emtek 7995 is a dummy: it is non-keyed and the lever or knob does not retract a bolt. For a locking set in the same sideplate format, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, and the Omnia D12036AC is the double cylinder version with a sideplate design. Choose the single cylinder where a thumbturn is acceptable on the inside face, and the double cylinder where the opening calls for a key on both sides.

It's the vertical distance between the knob or lever spindle centerline and the deadbolt centerline on the sideplate, 5-1/2 inches on the 7995. On a dummy set nothing is bored, so the number matters for looks rather than fit: it's what makes the plate line up visually with operating Rope sideplates on the same run of doors. If your working openings are already drilled at a different center-to-center, the plates won't read as a matched set.

Yes. The knob or lever style is a separate required choice on the 7995, and it runs across the full Emtek brass range, from the Rope Knob and Rope Lever that match the plate to Athena, Hermes, Cortina and Milano levers, Egg, Melon and Octagon knobs, and the crystal knobs like Bristol, Windsor and Georgetown. Mixing a plain lever onto the Rope plate is common when you want the rope detail on the plate only.

Five: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), 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 with handling, which is the point of it on a period house. Polished Brass Lifetime is a protected finish that stays bright. If you're matching a dummy pair to existing openings, match the coating type as well as the color, or the closet door will drift away from the rest in a couple of years.

It's a residential-duty product, solid brass, traditional styling. Fine for single-family, condo interiors, and high-end multi-family unit doors. For a commercial corridor, a school, or anywhere the opening is on a code-rated wall and getting heavy traffic, this isn't the right family; go to a graded commercial bored or mortise lock instead.

Both are solid brass dummy sideplate sets at 5-1/2 inch center-to-center, so they occupy the same slot on a door. The Omnia D12036PD is catalogued as a double dummy lever set, meaning the lever style comes with the product. The Emtek 7995 makes the knob or lever a separate choice across the whole Emtek brass range, so it's the one to pick when you're matching a specific handle style already used elsewhere in the house.

It ships as a pair, one sideplate assembly for each face of the door, with the knob or lever style you select. Because it's the dummy function there is no latch to install and no strike to mortise into the jamb, so there's nothing to cut in the frame. Order one 7995 per door, not two.

They are not interchangeable in function. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, so it needs a bolt bore and strike prep and it secures the opening. The Emtek 7995 is a dummy set with no latching or locking action, mounted as a pair for pull and push only. On a closet or an inactive French door leaf where nothing needs to latch, the D12036A adds a bolt the opening has no use for; the dummy equivalent in that family is the Omnia D12036PD, a double dummy.

Both Omnia sets are solid brass deadbolt lever locksets in the same D12036 sideplate family. The D12036A is single cylinder and the D12036AC is double cylinder, keyed from both faces. The Emtek 7995 alongside them is dummy and non-keyed, in brass on 5-1/2 inch center to center, which is how a run of doors keeps one plate appearance across openings that lock and openings that do not.

Brass through the substrate, not a plated zinc casting. That matters for the unlacquered option in particular, since a patina on brass is the material aging rather than a coating wearing off, and it matters at the coast where plated pot metal pits.
