Emtek Designer Brass Leverset - Manning Lever, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep is needed. The Manning dummy leverset is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door without a 2-1/8 inch cross bore or latch bore. That makes it the usual choice for a closet door, a false door, or the inactive leaf of a pair where the existing face is undrilled.

A dummy lever is fixed trim only. It does not turn, there is no latch, and there is no key. The Manning dummy is non-keyed with a dummy lock function, so it is for pulling a door closed or dressing a leaf that is held by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch. If the door has to latch or lock, you need a passage, privacy, or entry leverset instead.

Yes. The Manning dummy is rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, which covers both the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 stock.

The Manning lever has a directional shape, so it is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand. Stand outside the door: the hand follows which way the lever tail points so it sweeps down toward the latch edge. Because this is a pair, you are dressing both faces, so confirm the hand on each side matches how the door swings before ordering.

It ships as a complete set for both faces of the door, levers and rosettes together. You pick the rosette style when ordering: Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope. Emtek also allows any brass rosette to be paired with this lever, so if you are matching other openings in the house you can specify the rose that is already on them.

The Emtek Manning dummy pair is a brass residential leverset in the American Designer style. For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim lever is the Grade 2 medium duty version. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, from the 5400 Series. All three are single dummy trim rather than a matched pair, so count faces before ordering.

The Emtek Manning dummy is sold as a pair, so it puts a fixed lever on both faces of the door. If only one face needs a lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is a single-side dummy and is ordered by hand: BAL-5103-LDM is the left hand version and BAL-5103-RDM is the right hand version. Choose the Emtek pair for an inactive door leaf or a closet pair where both sides are seen, and the Baldwin half dummy where only the room side is visible.

The Manning dummy has no latch at all; it is a non-keyed dummy that surface mounts with no door prep, so the door stays shut only by a catch or ball catch. For a latching hall or closet door in the same decorative family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the passage version, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever is the version with a bed and bath privacy turn. Ordering a dummy for a door that needs to latch is the most common mistake on this part.

Seven finishes: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). A split finish is available as an optional request, so you can run one finish on the corridor side and another inside the room. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its as shipped look.

The Manning dummy is trim only, so pair it with a functioning leverset on the working doors. Within the decorative brass category, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is offered in passage, privacy, and half dummy versions, which lets you run one lever design across closet, bath, and hall doors. Deltana also offers entry levers such as the 6201 Manchester for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick.

The Emtek Manning dummy is a brass set that can be ordered with any brass rosette and comes in seven finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B and Satin Nickel US15. For a plainer builder-grade dummy, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. The Callan is a single decorative trim in one series design, while the Manning gives you the Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope rosette choice to match existing Emtek trim in the unit.

The Emtek Manning dummy pair is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For thicker leaves, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead levers are all rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are entry and passage functions rather than dummies, so they suit a door that also needs to latch.

No. Those are latching passage sets, not dummies. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Atlanta with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset - both bore through the door and throw a latch. The Emtek Manning dummy is a fixed pull with no latch that surface mounts without door prep. They only interchange if you are willing to prep the door and change how it closes.

No - the Manning dummy pair is non-keyed with no cylinder and no latch. For a keyed lever, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever. Pick one of those for any opening that has to lock.

Brass is both the material and the substrate on the Manning leverset, so the lever body itself is brass rather than a plated zinc or steel casting. That matters for the living finishes, since unlacquered brass and French Antique wear into the base metal rather than through a plating layer.
