Emtek 8001-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the dummy function on the Emtek 8001 Colonial sideplate set actually do?
Nothing latches. The 8001 Colonial is a non-keyed dummy set, meaning the knob or lever is fixed and there is no working latch or bolt behind it. It's a pull for a door that is held shut some other way, typically one leaf of a double door, a closet, or a pantry. It ships as a pair, so you get trim for both faces of the door.
2) Will the Emtek 8001 dummy set fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The 8001 Colonial sideplate set covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inches through 1-3/4 inches, so it works on both older interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch doors. There is also a door thickness field on the order if your slab falls outside the usual range.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 8001 Colonial dummy set?
Handing is required, right hand or left hand, and you pick it on the order. It matters because the sideplate is a long directional plate and lever trim points a particular way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it's a right hand, hinges on the left it's a left hand.
4) Does the Emtek 8001 require cutting a bore hole in the door?
No boring needed. The 8001 Colonial dummy set is surface mounted, which is why it works well on doors you don't want to cut, such as a closet slab or a false leaf on a pair. Since it's a dummy, there's no latch running into the edge of the door either.
5) I need a keyed lock, not a dummy - what should I use instead of the Emtek 8001?
The Emtek 8001 Colonial is a non-keyed dummy set, so it has no cylinder and does not secure the door. For a keyed opening in a similar sideplate look, 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 single cylinder where you want a thumbturn inside, and double cylinder where the opening needs key operation from both sides.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 8001 Colonial dummy sideplate lockset from another brand?
The Omnia D12036PD is the nearest cross-brand match. Both are solid brass, non-keyed dummy trim on a sideplate, so both mount as decorative pull trim rather than operating a latch. The Emtek 8001 is a 7-1/8 inch Colonial sideplate sold as a pair, while the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing. If the existing door shows a 5-1/2 inch hole spacing, the Omnia is the one that lines up; the Emtek 8001 is the choice when you want the Colonial plate and Emtek knob or lever styles.
7) What knob and lever styles can I put on the Emtek 8001 Colonial sideplate?
Any Emtek brass knob or lever style can be paired with the 8001 Colonial plate, and the inside trim choice is required when you order. That spans classic knobs like Egg, Melon, Providence, Victoria and Waverly, crystal knobs including Windsor, Georgetown and Bristol, and levers from Cortina, Milano and Turino through to contemporary L-Bar, T-Bar and R-Bar options in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments. If you're matching other openings in a house, order the same knob or lever code across all of them.
8) What finishes does the Emtek 8001 Colonial dummy set come in?
Eight finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, so choose it only if you want a living finish; US3 Lifetime holds its shine.
9) Is the Emtek 8001 sideplate lockset suitable for a commercial building?
It's built for residential use, in solid brass, with a decorative Colonial sideplate 7-1/8 inches in size. For apartment interiors, single-family homes and high-end multi-family unit doors it's appropriate. For a commercial corridor or any opening that needs a graded, cycle-tested lock, specify a commercial bored or mortise lock instead.
10) Do I get hardware for both sides of the door with the Emtek 8001?
Yes, it's sold as a pair, so you get the Colonial sideplate and your selected knob or lever for each face. That's the right configuration for a closet or a non-active leaf where you want matching trim inside and out. If you only need one side, a single dummy is the part to look for instead.
11) Is the Omnia D12036A a drop-in substitute for the Emtek 8001 dummy set?
No. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, so it is a keyed, locking unit with a cylinder and a working latch. The Emtek 8001 Colonial is a dummy pair with no key function at all, used as fixed trim. They look related because both are brass sideplate-style hardware, but swapping one for the other changes whether the door locks and changes the door prep required.
12) Which dummy sideplate set works on a door with no existing prep?
The Emtek 8001 Colonial dummy pair is surface mount and needs no door prep, which makes it the simpler retrofit on a slab or a closet door you do not want to bore. The Omnia D12036PD double dummy lever lockset uses plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center, so its mounting pattern is fixed by that spacing. On an unbored door the Emtek 8001 is the less invasive option.
