Emtek Classic Brass Key In Leverset - Cortina Lever with Rosette Options - Dummy (Pair)

No door prep is needed. The Cortina dummy leverset is surface mounted, so it fastens to the face of the door without a bore or a latch mortise. That makes it the usual choice for an inactive door on a pair, a closet door held by a ball catch or magnetic catch, or a false panel where you only want the look of a lever.

Yes. Handing is required on Emtek leversets, and the Cortina dummy is ordered as either Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH). Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door. A dummy lever does not turn or reverse in the field, so the wrong hand means the lever points the wrong way.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is the nearest decorative-brand equivalent. The Cortina is supplied as a dummy pair, so it dresses both faces of a door, while the Baldwin 5103 half dummy is ordered as a single handed piece - BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand - so two pieces are needed to cover both faces. Both are dummy function, meaning no latch and no door bore, and both are handed selections rather than reversible.

A dummy set like the Cortina has no latch and is surface mounted with no door prep, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the same 5048 rose styling in a passage function. On the commercial side, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever is non-handed, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For a bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever adds the locking function.

Four Classic Brass rosettes are offered: the #8, the Rectangular, the Regular, and the Rope. Pick whichever matches the rosette already on the working locksets in the room, since the dummy is normally installed alongside passage or privacy sets on the same opening. Note the Rope rosette is available in a limited finish range rather than all ten.

If the working sets are Emtek Classic Brass with the Cortina lever, yes, same lever design, same Classic Brass rosette family, and the same finish codes. Match on two things when you order: the lever style and the rosette shape (#8, Rectangular, Regular or Rope), since the rosette is what the eye reads from across a room.

No. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, meaning it has a working latch and retracts when turned. The Cortina dummy pair is fixed trim with no latch and no bore required in the door. They are not interchangeable in either direction: swapping a dummy onto a latching opening leaves the door unable to stay shut, and swapping a passage set onto an undrilled door requires boring it.

The Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever is a straightforward non-decorative dummy. The Cortina is a brass, American Classic styled set with four rosette choices - #8, rectangular, regular, and rope - and ten finishes, which the simpler dummy levers do not offer. If the styling does not need to match adjacent decorative hardware, the Bentley or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT Grade 2 dummy trim covers the same functional job.

The Cortina dummy pair is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker leaves, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead entry levers are all rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummy trim, so confirm the opening needs a latch before substituting.

No - the Cortina dummy pair is non-keyed fixed trim. For a keyed lever on the same opening type, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 and keyed. Those require a bored door; the Cortina does not.

The Cortina dummy pair is ordered as left hand or right hand and handing must be specified. If you want to avoid a handing decision entirely, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever are both non-handed designs, though both are latching passage sets rather than dummy trim. Among dummy options, the BEST 9K Series 1DT and the Accentra 455LN Augusta are single dummy trims, so each piece dresses one face.

Dummy trim itself carries no latch, so the latching hardware on the opening governs. Among the cylindrical lever locks that list a fire rating, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever is fire rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever is fire rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Cortina is a residential brass set, so for a rated corridor the Grade 1 commercial families are the ones to specify.

The Cortina dummy pair is offered in Satin Brass (US4) along with Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), and Polished Chrome (US26). For a latching door in US4, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset supplied in US4 Satin Brass. Lever shape and rose profile differ, so check the design against the Cortina before pairing them on adjacent doors.

No. The Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in an entry function from the ED-500 exit device trim family, so it works with a door device rather than standing alone. The Cortina is a dummy lever pair with rosette trim, surface mounted with no door prep, and performs no latching or entry function at all. They solve different problems and are not interchangeable.
