Emtek 8851 Colonial 9" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Dummy (Pair) - Brass Tubular

No hole needed. The 8851 Colonial 9 inch dummy set is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch bore and no latch to install. That makes it the right choice for a closet door, a fixed half of a double door, or any leaf that doesn't latch. If you need the door to actually latch or hold shut, you want a passage or privacy version instead, which does take a standard door prep.

It ships as a pair, one 9 inch Colonial sideplate with trim for each face of the door. You pick a single knob or lever style and a single finish, and both sides are built to match. Since it is a dummy, there is no working latch or strike in the set.

It covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans standard interior doors and heavier solid-core or entry-weight leaves. There is also a door thickness field on the order if your door falls outside the usual range, so a thicker slab can be called out when you order.

Yes, right hand or left hand has to be called out, and Emtek requires handing on leversets specifically since a lever has to point toward the hinges correctly. Stand on the outside of the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand. Even on knob styles the sideplate orientation is built to the hand you specify, so get it right on the order.

Often yes, and that's a common reason people choose it. The 9 inch Colonial plate is surface mounted over the door face, so it can cover an existing 2-1/8 inch bore rather than requiring one. Measure where the old bore sits relative to the plate's knob or lever opening before you commit, since the plate has to land over it, and check the door edge: a dummy has no latch, so any existing latch bore and strike pocket will be left empty.

The Omnia D12036PD is the nearest cross-brand match. It is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates, built on 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing, and its function is double dummy - the same non-operating, pull-only setup as the Emtek 8851 Colonial dummy pair. The differences are in the plate architecture and trim program: the Emtek 8851 is a 9 inch Colonial sideplate in brass, ordered with your choice of Emtek knob or lever style, while the Omnia is supplied as its own lever-and-plate design. If you need a dummy pair on a non-latching door such as a closet or a French door slave leaf, either will serve; pick on the trim appearance you want to match.

Any of Emtek's brass knob and lever designs can be ordered on it, and that is a long list: levers from Stuttgart, Helios, Athena, Hermes, Luzern, Cortina, Milano, Turino, Rope, Rustic and Santa Fe among others; knobs including Ace, Spoke, Orb, Round, Egg, Melon, Providence, Waverly, Victoria and Lancaster; plus crystal options like Bristol, Windsor, Diamond, Georgetown and Old Town. Choose one style and it is applied to both plates in the pair.

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). Because these are Emtek's standard US codes, ordering the same code used on your passage and privacy sets keeps the run consistent. One caution: Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will darken with handling, so it won't stay matched to a lacquered polished brass over time.

It's a residential product. The 8851 Colonial is solid brass with a tubular lock platform, built for homes, model units and hospitality-style interiors rather than commercial traffic openings. For a multi-family or institutional corridor door you'd be looking at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lockset instead.

Neither. It's a non-keyed dummy set, so there is no cylinder, no thumbturn, and no latch mechanism at all. The knob or lever is fixed and purely decorative, functioning as a pull. If you want the same Colonial sideplate look with a working lock, you need the keyed or privacy version of the series rather than the 8851.

Only if you are prepared to change the door prep and the function. The Emtek 8851 Colonial dummy pair is surface mounted with no door prep required and has no latch operation. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, so it introduces a keyed cylinder and bolt hardware the dummy opening was never bored for. On a closet, pantry, or inactive French door leaf where nothing needs to latch, the dummy 8851 is the correct part and swapping in a keyed unit only adds cylinder keying you do not need.

The Emtek 8851 Colonial sideplate is the more configurable of the group: it is ordered with any Emtek brass knob or lever style for the inside trim, from Colonial-era shapes like Egg, Providence, and Rope through crystal knobs and contemporary bar levers, all in the same 9 inch Colonial brass plate. The Omnia D12036PD dummy, D12036A single cylinder, and D12036AC double cylinder are supplied as lever locksets in Omnia's own plate design. If you are standardizing trim appearance across a house or a unit turn and want a specific handle shape, the Emtek program is the one that lets you pick it.

They are the same solid brass sideplate lever lockset platform in two lock functions. The D12036A is single cylinder - keyed on one side. The D12036AC is double cylinder, meaning it takes a key from both sides, which is specified where a glass lite sits close enough to the lock that an inside thumbturn could be reached. Neither is comparable to the Emtek 8851 in function, since the 8851 is a non-keyed dummy pair with no locking at all.
