Emtek 8012 Modern 3-5/8" Center-to-Center Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Dummy (Pair) - Brass Tubular

Purely decorative. The 8012 is a dummy function set, so there is no latch, no bolt, and no turning mechanism. The knob or lever is fixed and simply gives you something to pull on. Use it on a door that is held closed some other way, such as a ball catch or roller catch, or on one leaf of a double door that stays fixed. If you need the door to latch, you need a passage, privacy, or keyed set instead.

It covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans a standard interior door and a 1-3/4 inch commercial-thickness slab. Because it is surface mount, no door prep is required, so you are not boring a 2-1/8 inch cross bore or a latch hole to hang it. That also makes it a clean fix for a door with damaged or mismatched existing prep, since the sideplate covers the face rather than passing through it.

It ships as a complete set for both sides of the door, sideplates plus the knobs or levers you select. You are not buying trim separately. The inside style is a required choice at order time, drawn from the full Emtek brass knob and lever range, so pick it before checkout or the order cannot be built.

Handing is a required selection, right hand or left hand. Emtek calls for it on leversets because a lever has to point toward the latch edge to look and work right. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand. If you are ordering a knob style rather than a lever, the handing choice still has to be made on the order, but the knob itself is symmetrical.

The Omnia D12036PD is the nearest equivalent: a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates, on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center layout. The Emtek 8012 is a dummy-function sideplate lockset in brass with a 3-5/8 inch center-to-center dimension, so the two are not interchangeable on an existing plate footprint - if you are matching holes or a previous plate, confirm which center-to-center the opening was laid out for.

3-5/8 inches is the spacing between the two centers on the sideplate, the knob or lever center and the second center above it. It matters if you are matching existing Emtek sideplate hardware on other doors in the house or trying to line up with old screw and bore locations. If your other openings use a different spacing, the plates will not sit at the same height relative to each other, so measure the doors you are matching before you commit the whole set.

Six: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Satin Brass (US4). Worth knowing that Unlacquered Brass has no clear coat, so it will darken and patina with handling. If you want the brass tone to stay put, Satin Brass is the stable choice.

It is classified as residential hardware, brass construction, contemporary styling. For single-family homes, custom residential, and light-duty interior work in multi-family it is fine. For corridor or egress doors in a commercial or institutional building, where you would be looking for a graded cylindrical or mortise lock, this is not the right category of product.

The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass double dummy lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center-to-center, versus 3-5/8 inches on the Emtek 8012. If you are covering older, more widely spaced prep or want a taller plate look, that spacing is the reason to go Omnia. If the same opening needs to actually lock, Omnia also does the same plate design as a functioning deadbolt lockset: the D12036A single cylinder and the D12036AC double cylinder.

The 8012 belongs to Emtek's keyed sideplate family, meaning it shares the plate design and 3-5/8 inch center spacing with the keyed versions in that line. The 8012 itself is the dummy variant: non-keyed, no cylinder, no bolt. So you can run the same plate look across a set of doors and use the keyed version where you need security and the 8012 where you only need a pull.

The Omnia D12036A is the single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, keyed from one side; the D12036AC is the double cylinder version, keyed from both sides, with a sideplate design. Both are solid brass. The Emtek 8012 sits outside that pair - it is a dummy sideplate lockset with no cylinder at all, sold as a pair for an inactive or decorative door, with handing specified for lever trim.

Not a direct one. The D12036A is a single cylinder function - keyed outside with a thumbturn or lever inside - while the Emtek 8012 is a non-keyed dummy pair with no cylinder and no latching mechanism. Choosing the D12036A also means boring and prepping the door, whereas the 8012 is surface mounted with no door prep. Use the 8012 only where you want matching trim on both faces of a non-operating door.

Yes. The inside trim selection spans the full Emtek brass range, including crystal knobs such as Bristol, Modern Disc, Modern Square, and Windsor, knurled options like The Ace Knurled, L-Square Knurled, T-Bar Knurled, and R-Bar Knurled, plus marble-capped choices in L-Square, T-Bar, R-Bar, and Conical White Marble. Levers run from modern Stuttgart and Helios through traditional Rope, Ribbon and Reed, and Rustic. One style choice applies to the set.
