Emtek 8053-US7 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 8053 Victoria sideplate dummy set need a hole bored in the door?
No door prep needed. The 8053 Victoria dummy pair is surface mount, so the sideplates screw to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch bore and no latch mortise. That is what makes it the right choice for closet doors, French door inactive leaves, and pantry doors where you only want a pull, not a working latch.
2) Will the Emtek 8053 Victoria sideplate lockset fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The 8053 Victoria sideplate set covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which spans standard interior slabs and heavier 1-3/4 inch doors. There is a door thickness field on the order so you can state the actual slab you are working with.
3) Does an Emtek dummy sideplate set latch or lock at all?
Neither. Dummy means the knob or lever is fixed, with no latch action and no locking. Pull only. If you need the door to latch shut, order the passage version of the Victoria sideplate; if you need privacy on a bath or bedroom, order the privacy version. The 8053 is non-keyed and has no cylinder.
4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an Emtek Victoria sideplate dummy?
Handing is required, right hand or left hand, and it matters for levers because a lever has to point toward the latch edge. Knobs are symmetrical, but the order still takes a hand so the sideplate orientation is right. Get the hand wrong on a lever and the lever points the wrong way on the door.
5) I need a sideplate set on an entry door that actually locks with a key - what should I order instead of the Emtek 8053?
The Emtek 8053 Victoria is a dummy function set and is non-keyed, so it will not secure an opening. For a keyed sideplate entry, 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. Single cylinder takes a key outside and a turn inside; double cylinder takes a key on both sides, which matters on a glazed door where an inside turn could be reached.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek 8053 Victoria sideplate dummy set if I want a dummy lever on a sideplate rather than a knob-style plate?
The Emtek 8053 Victoria is a non-keyed dummy sideplate lockset in brass, sold as a pair, and the inside trim can be ordered as a knob or a lever. If you want a dummy set built around a lever on plates instead, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing. Both are dummy function, so neither latches or locks; they mount as pull trim only.
7) Is the Emtek 8053 sold as a pair or a single side?
It ships as a pair, one sideplate assembly for each face of the door. That suits a single door you want trimmed on both sides, or one leaf of a French door pair. If you only need one face dressed, a double dummy pair is more hardware than the opening calls for.
8) Can I pick any Emtek knob or lever style on the 8053 Victoria sideplate?
Yes, the inside trim is a separate selection and the range is wide: crystal knobs like Bristol, Windsor and Georgetown, traditional knobs like Victoria, Providence and Waverly, and levers from Milano and Turino through the modern L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments. That lets you keep one sideplate look across a house while varying the grip.
9) What size is the Emtek 8053 Victoria sideplate, and will it cover an old backset scar?
The plate is 7-3/4 inches, which is a tall narrow escutcheon rather than a small rosette. Because it is surface mounted, it can hide minor face damage around where an old rosette sat, but it will not conceal a full 2-1/8 inch bore hole.
10) What finishes does the Emtek 8053 Victoria sideplate dummy come in, and which age over time?
Five: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina, since it has no clear coat, while the Lifetime polished brass is finished to stay bright. Pick US3NL only if you want the darkening over time.
11) Is the Emtek Victoria sideplate lockset rated for commercial traffic?
It is a residential product, solid brass, in Emtek's American Designer styling. For apartment interiors, model units and single family work it is at home. For a high-traffic commercial corridor or an institutional facility that standardizes on graded cylindrical locks, this is not the line to spec.
12) What is the difference between the Emtek 8053 dummy sideplate and the Omnia D12036PD dummy?
Both are solid brass sideplate dummies with no latching action. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy with a 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing between the lever and the deadbolt plate position, so it reads as a lever plus deadbolt look. The Emtek 8053 is a 7-3/4 inch plate you configure with any Emtek knob or lever. If you want a keyed or deadbolt-functioning version of that Omnia look instead of a dummy, the D12036A is single cylinder and the D12036AC is double cylinder.
13) Is the Omnia D12036PD a drop-in match for the Emtek 8053 Victoria dummy pair?
They serve the same purpose but are not the same footprint. The Emtek 8053 Victoria is a 7-3/4 inch sideplate set, dummy function, sold as a pair, with the trim style chosen from Emtek brass knobs and levers. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy lever set with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center. The plate length and the hole spacing differ, so one will not cover the other's screw pattern on a door already prepped - match the existing plate before you swap.
14) Which sideplate set do I use on the inactive leaf of a double door, and which one is the wrong pick?
The inactive leaf takes trim that does not operate a latch. The Emtek 8053 Victoria is dummy function and non-keyed, ordered as a pair with a knob or lever style on the inside trim, which suits that leaf. The Omnia D12036PD is also a double dummy set with plates and works the same way. The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are single and double cylinder sets respectively, so they carry a cylinder you would have no use for on a leaf that stays fixed.
15) If I am standardizing brass sideplate hardware across a residence, can I mix Emtek 8053 dummy sets with Omnia D12036 locksets?
Materially they line up - the Emtek 8053 Victoria is brass, and the Omnia D12036A, D12036AC, and D12036PD are all solid brass construction. What will not line up is the trim family and the plate geometry: the Emtek is a 7-3/4 inch Victoria sideplate with the knob or lever style specified at order, while the Omnia plates are a deadbolt lever design with the dummy version at 5-1/2 inch center to center. If a consistent plate profile down the hall matters, keep one family per run of doors.
