Emtek 8050.MNG.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Emtek Manning dummy lever pair actually do, and does it latch?
There is no latch and no moving mechanism. The Manning lever in dummy function is a fixed pull only, surface mounted to the door face with no bore or door prep required. It is what you put on a closet door, a false door, or the inactive leaf of a double door where a catch or ball catch holds the door closed. If you need the lever to retract a latch, you want a passage function set instead.
2) Will the Emtek Manning dummy levers fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The Manning dummy pair covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, which spans the common older interior thickness and the standard 1-3/4 inch door. Because it mounts to the surface, thickness only matters for the through-mounting, not for a latch case.
3) Why do I have to pick left hand or right hand on a dummy lever?
The Manning lever is a shaped lever, so it is handed by appearance: the lever has to sweep toward the latch edge of the door to look right. Order Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH) based on the door it goes on. Since this is sold as a pair for both faces, the handing you choose governs how the levers read from each side.
4) I only need a dummy lever on one side of the door. Is there a single version?
The Emtek Manning dummy is sold as a complete pair for both door faces. For a single-side application, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered in left hand and right hand versions with the 5048 rose, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim lever. The Manning pair is the right call on double doors or French door pairs where both faces need a lever.
5) What is a comparable dummy lever if the door is commercial and needs a Grade 1 rating?
The Emtek Manning dummy lever pair is a residential brass leverset with a dummy function, so it carries no commercial grade. For a graded commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. Both are single dummy trim, meaning one lever per door face, where the Manning is sold as a pair for two faces.
6) I need a lever that actually latches, not a dummy. What should I order instead?
The Emtek Manning dummy pair has no latch and no door prep, so it is only for inactive or closet doors that stay shut by other means. If the door needs to latch, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a passage lever version with the 5048 rose in a similar decorative brass style, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset. For a commercial passage opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
7) Which rosette shapes can I get with the Emtek Manning lever?
Seven brass rosettes are offered with the Manning dummy pair: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. That matters if you are matching existing Emtek trim elsewhere in the house, pick the same rose your passage and privacy sets already carry so the closet doors read as part of the same suite.
8) What finishes does the Emtek Manning brass lever come in?
Ten: 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). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, the two Lifetime finishes are the ones that hold their look.
9) Does the Emtek Manning dummy lever take a key or a privacy turn?
No. It is non-keyed with no cylinder and no thumbturn, purely a pull. For a bath or bedroom door you need a privacy set, and for a lockable door a keyed entrance set. The dummy is not a security item.
10) What do I need to drill for the Emtek Manning dummy pair?
Nothing in the way of a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The dummy pair is surface mounted and needs no door prep, just fastener holes through the door for the pair. That makes it a clean retrofit on a door that never had a lockset, and it also means a door with an existing 2-1/8 inch bore will show that hole unless the rosette covers it.
11) Does the Manning dummy lever lock? What if I need privacy on a bedroom or bath?
No. The Emtek Manning dummy pair is non-keyed with a dummy function and no latching or locking mechanism at all. For a bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a privacy version with the 5048 rose, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy leverset for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2540 uses a Withnell lever on doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch.
12) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Manning dummy pair work?
The Emtek Manning dummy pair is rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers the same range. Note those are latching functions rather than dummy trim.
13) Which dummy levers look closest to the Manning in a traditional brass interior?
The Emtek Manning dummy pair is a solid brass, American Classic style leverset available in finishes including Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) and Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14). The closest decorative peer for a matching look is the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with the 5048 rose. Commercial dummy trim such as the BEST 9K 1DT or the Accentra 455LN Augusta is styled for institutional openings rather than residential brass.
14) Do I need to specify handing on a dummy lever, and which peers are non-handed?
The Emtek Manning dummy pair is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand because the lever throw is cast to the door swing. If you would rather stock a single non-handed item across mixed openings, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock both use a non-handed design, though they are latching passage locks rather than dummy trim.
15) Can I have a different finish on each side of the door?
Yes. A split finish option is available at ordering, so you can run one finish on the corridor side and another on the room side. Enter the two finishes in the split finish field when you place the order.
16) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever that would work where the Manning dummy will not?
The Emtek Manning dummy pair is non-electronic and non-keyed, with no access control of any kind. For keyless entry on the same door, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever lock fits doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch and is ADA compliant, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set fits 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
