Emtek 8061 Delaware 3-5/8" C-to-C Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Dummy (Pair) - Brass Tubular

It is a dummy set, so there is no latch action and no key. The Delaware 8061 is a fixed trim pair: the knob or lever does not turn a spindle and nothing retracts. Use it on a door that is held closed some other way, like a magnetic catch, roller catch, or ball catch, or on the inactive leaf of a double door. If you need the door to latch, order a passage, privacy, or keyed function instead.

The Delaware plate is drilled 3-5/8 inches center to center between the knob or lever and the lower cylinder position, and the set is surface mounted, so no new bore is required for the dummy itself. Whether it hides an existing prep depends on where your old holes sit relative to that 3-5/8 inch spacing and the plate outline, so measure your existing bore centers first.

Yes. The inside trim is selected separately from roughly ninety Emtek brass knob and lever designs, from traditional shapes like Egg, Providence, Victoria, and Rope to modern T-Bar, R-Bar, and L-Square bars with faceted, hammered, knurled, or white marble treatments, plus crystal knobs such as Windsor and Bristol. That is how you keep a dummy door visually identical to the working locksets down the hall.

For a dummy sideplate with wider spacing, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass double dummy lever set with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center, versus 3-5/8 inch on the Delaware. If you need the sideplate look but with a functioning bolt, Omnia offers the D12036A single cylinder and the D12036AC double cylinder deadbolt lever locksets in solid brass.

The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center. Like the Emtek 8061 Delaware, it is a dummy function sideplate-style set in brass, so it mounts as trim only with no latching action. The dimensional difference matters: the 8061 Delaware is a 3-5/8 inch center-to-center layout, while the Omnia D12036PD is 5-1/2 inch center to center, so the two will not land on the same existing sideplate footprint.

The 8061 Delaware is a dummy set, so it provides trim only and does not secure the door. For a locking sideplate lever set, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, and the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder version with a sideplate design. Choose the single cylinder where a thumbturn on the interior is acceptable and the double cylinder where a key is required from both sides.

It is sold as a pair, one dummy sideplate assembly for each face of the door. If you only need trim on one side, a pair is more than the opening calls for, so look to a single dummy instead.

Handing is required because lever trim has to point toward the hinge side or away from it, and the sideplate is oriented to the door. Pick Right Hand or Left Hand as the door swings. If you choose a knob rather than a lever, the trim itself is symmetrical, but the order still records a hand for the plate orientation.

Eight: 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 is the one to pick if you want the piece to patina naturally; the lifetime polished brass is the one to pick if you do not.

The body and trim are brass, and Emtek lists the Delaware sideplate as a residential product. For a school, hospital, or office corridor, specify a commercial grade lockset instead. It suits homes, condos, and hospitality style interiors where the look matters.

The Emtek 8061 Delaware dummy is sold as a pair, which covers both faces of an inactive leaf, and it uses a 3-5/8 inch center-to-center plate with a brass substrate. The alternative is the Omnia D12036PD, a solid brass double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center. Both give a fixed lever or knob with no latch; the decision comes down to which plate length and center dimension suits the stile width on the inactive leaf.

Tubular, not mortise, so there is no lock case to pocket into the edge of the door. For a dummy pair that matters less than it would on a working lock, but it does mean you are not cutting a mortise to install it.
