Emtek 8998 Delaware 9" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Dummy (Pair) - Brass Tubular

Neither. It is a non-keyed dummy: the knob or lever is fixed and does not turn a latch, so there is nothing holding the door closed. Pair it with a roller catch, ball catch or magnetic catch if the door needs to stay shut. If you want the handle to actually operate a latch, order the passage version of the Delaware sideplate instead.

No. The Delaware 8998 dummy set is surface mount and needs no door prep at all, which is what makes it the usual choice for closet, pantry and inactive doors of a French pair where there is no existing hole. Note that the working (latching) versions of the Delaware set do use the standard 2-1/8 inch bore.

Yes, handing is a required choice, right hand or left hand. It matters for lever styles, since a lever has to point toward the latch edge to look right. Handing is called out as required on the leverset in particular. If you are choosing a knob, still make the selection so the plate is oriented for your opening.

The 8998 Delaware is non-keyed and dummy function, so it will not secure an opening - it is fixed trim only. For a keyed sideplate opening, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keyed outside. Where both faces must be keyed, the Omnia D12036AC is the double cylinder version of the same solid brass sideplate lever lockset. Confirm local egress code before specifying a double cylinder on an exit door.

It ships as a pair, meaning trim for both faces of the door. That suits a door you want to look finished on both sides, like the inactive leaf of a double door. If you only need one side, a pair is more than you need.

Yes, and it is a required selection on every order. The Delaware 9 inch plate takes any Emtek brass knob or lever design, from levers like Stuttgart, Athena, Milano and Rope to knobs like Egg, Providence, Octagon and Verve, plus crystal knobs such as Windsor and Georgetown and marble-topped options like the T-Bar White Marble. Pick the plate finish and the handle style separately.

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). If you are matching hinges and other trim already in the building, note that Unlacquered Brass is a living finish that will patina, while the Lifetime Polished Brass holds its color.

It is a residential product. For apartment interiors, model units and single-family work it is on point; for a commercial corridor or anything on a life-safety drawing, specify a commercial bored or mortise lock instead.

Likely yes. The passage version uses a standard 2-1/8 inch bore and a latch, and the dummy version is surface mount with no prep, so the 9 inch plate has to be long and wide enough to cover the old bore. Test-fit the plate over the existing hole before you commit, or stay with a passage or privacy function to reuse the prep.

Both are dummy trim, so both suit the fixed leaf. The Emtek 8998 Delaware is a 9 inch brass sideplate sold as a pair, and it is specified with a knob or lever style chosen for the inside trim plus handing, with finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center layout, supplied as a lever. Choose on plate length and whether a knob or a lever is wanted on the fixed leaf.

No. The Emtek 8998 Delaware is a dummy pair - fixed trim on both faces, non-keyed, with no working latch. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, which means it operates and locks with a key from one side. Ordering the D12036A against a dummy opening gives a keyed lock where the drawing calls for trim only, and it puts a cylinder in a door that was never prepped for one. The Omnia D12036PD is the dummy-function member of that Omnia group.

Brass through and through, both the material and the substrate, and it belongs to Emtek's Brass collection in an American Classic styling. That is why the finish list runs to unlacquered and polished brass options that a plated zinc handle set could not offer.

The 8998 Delaware ships as a dummy pair, so it covers both faces of one opening; ordering it for a single face leaves a spare half. The Omnia D12036PD is also a double dummy, giving trim on both sides. If only one face of the opening is being trimmed, plan the pair against two single-face locations rather than expecting a one-sided kit from either part.
