Emtek 8985 Quincy 5-1/2" Center-to-Center Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Dummy (Pair) - Brass Tubular

No lock at all. The 8985 Quincy is a dummy function, non-keyed, so the knob or lever is fixed and there is no cylinder, no turn, and nothing to latch. It's trim for a door that doesn't need to lock or latch: a closet slab, a false door, or the inactive leaf of a pair. If you need this look with a working deadbolt, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder version and the D12036AC is double cylinder.

That's the spacing between the two points on the sideplate, 5-1/2 inches, and it's the number that decides whether the plate covers your existing holes. The Quincy 8985 is a fixed 5-1/2 inch CTC set, so measure the vertical spacing on the door you're replacing before you order. The Omnia D12036PD dummy is also a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center set if you need the same spacing in a different style.

Yes, the Quincy 8985 covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans the common older interior slab and the standard 1-3/4 inch thickness. There's a door thickness field on the order so you can state exactly what you have. Outside that range it isn't the right set.

The dummy sideplate is surface mount, so no door prep is needed. The plates screw to the face of the door on both sides. That makes it the straightforward choice for a slab you don't want to drill, and it's why a dummy set can go on a door with no existing bore at all.

Handing is required on this set, right hand or left hand, and it matters if you pick a lever. Levers are handed because they have to sweep down toward the latch edge; knobs are symmetrical, but the order still asks for a hand so the plate orientation is right. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it's right hand.

The Omnia D12036PD is the nearest peer. It is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center, which is the same center to center spacing the Emtek 8985 Quincy sideplate lockset uses, and it carries a double dummy function against the Emtek's dummy function. Both are non-operating trim: the Emtek 8985 is sold as a pair for an inactive leaf or a closet or pantry door where you want the look of a sideplate set without a latch doing any work. Where they part company is the trim program. The Emtek 8985 is ordered with the inside knob or lever style specified separately, from a range that runs from the Quincy-era classics such as the Providence and Waverly knobs through crystal knobs and the L-Square and T-Bar collections, and in brass across eight finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Flat Black US19. If the sideplate spacing is what has to match an adjacent door, either one holds the line at 5-1/2 inch.

A dummy set will not solve that opening. The Emtek 8985 Quincy is a dummy function set, meaning the trim is fixed and there is no working cylinder behind it, so it is the wrong part for any door that has to secure. For a sideplate set on a door that locks, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keyed on the outside with a thumbturn or inside release, which is the usual choice for an entry door. Where a door has glass in or beside it and the facility requires a key on both sides, the Omnia D12036AC is the double cylinder version of the same solid brass sideplate design, keyed inside and out. Property managers standardizing a run of doors often use both: the working function on the active leaf and a dummy pair such as the Emtek 8985 Quincy on the inactive leaf, so the pair reads the same from the hallway.

No, and it is the substitution most likely to come back. The two look alike on a spec sheet because both are brass sideplate lever sets, but the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, so it arrives with a working cylinder and a deadbolt that has to be prepped for and keyed. The Emtek 8985 Quincy is a dummy, non-keyed set. Ordering the D12036A for a closet, pantry or inactive leaf means cutting a bolt prep the door does not need and handing the owner a key that has no purpose. The peer that matches the Emtek 8985 Quincy on function is the Omnia D12036PD, a double dummy. For a locksmith working off a door schedule, read the function column before the finish column: single cylinder, double cylinder and dummy are three different preps behind an identical-looking plate.

Three things. The finish, one of eight: Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Pewter US15A, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Polished Brass Lifetime US3, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, or French Antique US7. The knob or lever style, chosen from the full brass knob and lever range (Ace, Spoke, Round, Egg, Victoria, crystal knobs like Windsor and Bristol, levers from Stuttgart to Rustic and Santa Fe). And the handing. Door thickness is an optional note on the order.

Yes, and that's the usual reason to buy it. The 8985 takes any Emtek brass knob or lever style, so you pick the same trim you already have on the latching and locking doors in the house and the closet or false door reads identically. Match the finish code as well, US15 satin nickel to US15 and so on, since the same nominal finish name across brands is not the same color.

Pair means both sides. One 8985 order dresses one door, inside and out, with a fixed knob or lever and sideplate on each face. If you're doing a set of double doors and want trim on all four faces, that's two orders. The Omnia D12036PD is the comparable double dummy if you're pricing alternatives.

It's a residential set. The Quincy 8985 is catalogued residential and the styling is American Classic, so it suits homes, high-end multi-family, and hospitality interiors rather than a rated commercial opening. For an office, school, or healthcare corridor door you want a commercial bored or mortise lock instead.

The Omnia D12036PD is the shorter order. It is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center, configured as a double dummy, so the trim comes as supplied. The Emtek 8985 Quincy is the more specified part: it is a tubular brass set at the same 5-1/2 inch center to center, and the order requires a finish from eight brass options such as Satin Nickel US15, Pewter US15A, Polished Chrome US26 and French Antique US7, a knob or lever style for the inside trim from a large design program, and handing, right or left, since the Quincy sideplate is a handed plate. Door thickness can be given as well, with the set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. If a remodeler is matching an existing Emtek trim program across a house, that configurability is the reason to take the extra ordering steps; if the goal is a dummy plate on one closet, the Omnia is the fewer decisions.

Brass is the substrate, not just the plating, so the sideplates and trim are brass through. That's what lets finishes like US3NL unlacquered brass live and patina rather than wear off, and why US10B oil rubbed bronze changes with handling. If you want a finish that stays put, Polished Brass Lifetime US3 or Satin Nickel US15 hold their appearance.

It depends on what the opening is doing, not on the brand. The Emtek 8985 Quincy is a residential-rated brass tubular sideplate set in the American Classic style, sold as a dummy pair, and it is the right answer for closets, pantries, and the inactive leaf of a double door in a home or a multi-family unit. The Omnia D12036A, D12036AC and D12036PD are all solid brass sideplate sets on the same 5-1/2 inch center to center footprint as the Emtek, split by function: single cylinder, double cylinder and double dummy respectively. A property manager fitting out units usually mixes them, taking the keyed function at the entry and a dummy pair for the interior doors that only need to look consistent. Because the Emtek 8985 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch door prep, an interior door already bored for a knob set takes it without new holes.
