Emtek 8050.C.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Emtek Cortina dummy lever pair need a bore hole, or does it mount to the door surface?
Surface mount, no door prep. The Cortina dummy pair screws to the face of the door, so there is nothing to bore and no latch to install. That is what makes it the trim of choice for a closet door, a French door slab, or the inactive leaf of a pair where you only need something to pull on. If you are drilling a fresh door and need it to latch or hold shut, a dummy is the wrong function.
2) Is the Emtek Cortina dummy sold as two levers or one?
Two. The Cortina dummy pair gives you a lever for each face of the door, ordered as one item. If you only need a lever on one side, say the inactive leaf of a double door where the back face is never touched, a single dummy is the cheaper route. ZenSupply stocks single dummy trim in the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy (left or right hand) and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever.
3) Why do I have to pick left hand or right hand on a dummy lever that doesn't latch?
Handing on the Cortina sets which way the lever points, not any internal function. The lever is cast in a shape that sweeps toward the strike side, so a right hand lever on a left hand door has the handle turning the wrong way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, order right hand. On a pair of doors you often want one of each. Both hands are stocked.
4) I need the closet door to actually stay shut. Is a dummy lever enough?
No. A dummy has no latch and no bolt, so the door will swing free unless something else holds it, typically a roller catch, a ball catch, or a magnetic catch mortised into the head or the jamb. Order that separately. If you want the door to latch on its own, buy a passage lockset instead of dummy trim. In the residential lever range ZenSupply stocks the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose and the Bravura Miramar passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Cortina dummy lever pair from a commercial brand?
The Emtek Cortina dummy is a residential brass leverset with a dummy function, sold as a pair. On the commercial side, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock, Grade 1, non-keyed and heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. Both are single dummy trim, so a pair of doors or a double-door opening takes two of them, where the Cortina dummy already comes as a pair.
6) I need a decorative dummy lever for one side of a door only, not a pair. What should I order?
A single-side application is what half dummy trim is built for. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed - BAL-5103-LDM is the left hand and BAL-5103-RDM is the right hand - each with the 5048 rose, and both are dummy function. The Emtek Cortina dummy is supplied as a pair for through-door applications such as French doors or a double closet.
7) The door actually latches - the Cortina dummy will not work. What is the equivalent that does?
A dummy lever has no latch mechanism, so a door that needs to stay shut takes a passage lever instead. In the same decorative residential family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the 5048 rose. For commercial openings, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
8) Bathroom or bedroom door - can I use the Cortina dummy pair with a privacy lock added?
A privacy opening needs a privacy function lockset, not a dummy. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever on the 5048 rose is the decorative match; the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Cortina dummy is a non-keyed dummy set with no locking function.
9) I need keyed entry on this opening, not a dummy. What takes its place?
The Cortina dummy is non-keyed with no cylinder. For a keyed entrance in a decorative residential style, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and Deltana 6431 Linstead are entry levers covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. On the commercial side, the Dexter C1000 entry/office is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/8 inch backset.
10) How far does the Emtek Cortina lever stick out, and is there room for a gloved hand?
Projection is 2-1/4 inches off the door face, with 1 inch of clearance between the back of the lever and the door. Lever width is 4-3/8 inches. The 1 inch back clearance is the number that matters if the door swings against a wall or a cabinet run, or if the opening sees work gloves. Check the 2-1/4 inch projection against any adjacent door or drawer front that swings past it.
11) Can I match the Emtek Cortina dummy to the rosettes on the rest of my Emtek doors?
Seven rosette shapes are offered on the Cortina dummy: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Pick the same rosette used on the working locks elsewhere in the house and the dummy reads as part of the same set. That is the usual reason a dummy gets ordered at all, matching a closet or French door to the passage and privacy sets already hung.
12) What finishes does the Emtek Cortina brass lever come in, and will unlacquered brass patina?
Ten finishes: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The two Lifetime finishes are coated to hold their appearance. Unlacquered brass, US3NL, has no protective coating and is meant to darken and patina with handling, so it will not stay bright and will not match a Polished Brass Lifetime lever over time.
13) Can I use a Cortina dummy lever on a door that already has a bored 2-1/8 inch hole from an old knob?
You can hang it, but the hole stays. Cortina dummy trim mounts to the door surface and does not fill or use a cross bore, and the rosette is not sized to hide a 2-1/8 inch prep. On a door with an existing bore you either plug and patch the hole first, or put a functioning bored lockset back in it. Undrilled slabs are the clean case for this one.
14) What is a lower-cost dummy lever alternative to the Emtek Cortina?
Two dummy levers sit below Grade 1 in the same function. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is Grade 2, non-keyed, medium duty, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Both are single dummy trim rather than a matched pair, and neither is a solid brass residential lever the way the Cortina is.
15) Which lever should I use instead of the Cortina dummy on a heavy-traffic commercial corridor?
The Cortina is a residential brass leverset. For a corridor that sees institutional traffic, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
16) Is a passage lever the same thing as the Cortina dummy pair?
No. A passage lever has a working latch that retracts when the lever turns; the Cortina is a dummy, which is fixed and non-keyed. Products such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage lever, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock, the Bravura Atlanta Grade 2 passage leverset, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 Withnell passage lever all carry a passage function and require the door to be bored for a latch.
17) Which levers match the Cortina dummy in satin brass for a whole-house or whole-floor package?
The Cortina dummy pair is offered in Satin Brass (US4) along with finishes including Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15) and Flat Black (US19). Where you need a functioning lever in a comparable warm brass tone, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset supplied in US4 Satin Brass.
18) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch. Which lever covers it?
The Cortina dummy is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For thicker leaves, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 and Design Hardware J75 are built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch and 1-3/4 inch doors respectively.
19) Can the Cortina dummy be keyed alike with the rest of my building's Schlage C hardware?
No - the Cortina dummy is a non-keyed dummy set with no cylinder to key. Where a keyed opening has to fall into a Schlage C system, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever are built around that keyway family, the AG00 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum lock with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway.
20) What should I use instead of the Cortina dummy on a classroom or storeroom door?
Those openings need a keyed function the dummy does not provide. The Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching mechanism for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the C1000 classroom security version adds the second cylinder side. For storeroom, the Cal-Royal AG05 is Grade 2 with a deadlocking latchbolt and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
21) Does the Cortina dummy pair need to be handed like the Baldwin half dummy?
The Cortina dummy pair is ordered by hand, left hand or right hand. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is also handed and sold as separate left hand and right hand items. By contrast, the Falcon B101 and Falcon K101 passage levers are non-handed designs, so handing is not part of ordering them.
22) I want keyless code entry on the door instead of a dummy lever. What are the options?
The Cortina dummy carries no electronics and no code entry. For keyless operation, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
23) Can I order an Emtek Cortina pair with a different finish on each side of the door?
Yes. A split finish is available on the Cortina dummy pair, so the inside lever can run one finish and the outside another. It comes up on a door between two rooms with different hardware schemes, say polished nickel on a bath side and oil rubbed bronze in a hall. Name both finishes when you order.
24) Are lever trims for exit devices an alternative to the Cortina dummy on a pull-side door?
They are a different part. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with entry function - both mount to an exit device rather than standing alone. The Emtek Cortina dummy is a self-contained brass lever pair with no device behind it.
