Emtek 8057.ME.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Emtek Merrimack dummy lever a working latch or just a pull?
It is a non-functioning trim. The Merrimack dummy lever does not rotate a latch and does not lock, it is a fixed lever used as a pull. There is no cylinder and no key involved. If you need the lever to retract a latch, order the passage version instead; if you need a thumbturn, order privacy.
2) Why do I have to pick left hand or right hand on an Emtek dummy lever?
The Merrimack lever is shaped, so the lever has to point toward the strike side of the door for it to look right and be comfortable to grab. Both Left Hand (LH) and Right Hand (RH) are offered. On a pair of french doors you typically order one of each so the levers mirror one another.
3) Is the Emtek Merrimack leverset rated for commercial use?
It is a residential product. The Merrimack is a solid brass designer leverset built for homes and light residential openings. For a commercial corridor or an institutional building where an ANSI grade is specified, look at a graded cylindrical dummy such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 single dummy trim or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT Grade 2 dummy trim.
4) What is a decorative alternative to the Emtek Merrimack dummy lever pair for a residential door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative-line alternative, offered as a left hand half dummy (5103 LDM) and a right hand half dummy (5103 RDM). The difference is quantity and coverage: the Emtek Merrimack dummy is sold as a pair, so both faces of the door get a lever, while each Baldwin 5103 half dummy covers a single face. For a double door or a French door pair where both sides need trim, order the Merrimack pair or two Baldwin half dummies.
5) The Merrimack dummy lever does not latch. What do I order instead if the door needs to stay closed?
The Merrimack dummy is a non-keyed dummy with no latching mechanism, so it only provides a pull. If the door needs a latch, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a passage version with the 5048 rose for hall and closet doors, and in a privacy version for bed and bath doors. Both are the same lever style family as a dummy but with a working latch, and the privacy adds an interior locking function.
6) Can I use the Emtek Merrimack dummy lever on a commercial office or school door?
The Merrimack Merrimack dummy is a residential brass leverset, so for commercial openings a Grade-rated dummy is the usual specification. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 single dummy trim. All three are single dummy trims, so a door needing both faces covered takes two.
7) Which rosettes can I get with the Emtek Merrimack lever?
Three brass rosette styles are offered with the Merrimack dummy: Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope. All three are from the brass collection, so the rosette can be matched to the passage, privacy, and entry sets on the rest of the doors in the house.
8) What finishes does the Emtek Merrimack brass lever come in?
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). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, so if you are matching existing hardware that has already darkened, that is the one to look at. A split finish can be requested if the two faces of the door need different finishes.
9) I need matching hardware on a closet door and a bedroom door. What do I order alongside the Merrimack dummy?
Keep the same lever design, rosette, and finish and change only the function. The dummy pair suits the closet or an inactive french door leaf; the bedroom door wants a privacy set with a thumbturn, and a hall or pantry door wants a passage set. Because the brass rosette styles (Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, Rope) carry across the line, all three functions will read as one suite on the openings.
10) What is a good alternative to the Emtek Merrimack dummy lever if I want a similar designer look from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 dummy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest residential designer equivalent we carry, and it comes in left hand and right hand versions along with matching passage and privacy functions in the same 5103 trim. For a graded option with a plainer commercial look, the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever is the other direction to go.
11) Is there a builder-grade dummy lever if the Emtek Merrimack brass set is more than the job calls for?
The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and is the simpler option when the opening only needs a non-functioning pull. The Emtek Merrimack differs in that it is a solid brass residential set offered in seven finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Pewter (US15A), and with a choice of Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed or Rope rosette, so it is the choice when the trim has to match a decorative package.
12) Which passage levers look like the Emtek Merrimack dummy but are not a substitute for it?
Passage levers turn a latch and are not interchangeable with a dummy. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. All require a bored door with a latch prep, whereas the Merrimack dummy is a non-keyed lever pair with no latch function.
13) I need a lever on a door that also has to lock with a key. What replaces the Merrimack dummy there?
The Merrimack dummy is non-keyed, so a keyed opening needs a different lock. Residential and light commercial keyed options include the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever, Grade 2, 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Master Lock RL Series return style keyed entry lever, Grade 3. Each carries a cylinder in the lever, so the trim appearance differs from a plain dummy rose.
14) Does the Emtek Merrimack dummy need to be handed the way commercial dummy trims do?
The Emtek Merrimack dummy pair is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so handing has to be confirmed at the door before ordering. Commercial dummy trims handle this differently: the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 and the BEST 9K Series 1DT and 7KC Series 1DT are single dummy trims ordered one per face rather than as a handed pair.
15) What should I use instead of the Merrimack dummy on a door that needs keyless code entry?
A dummy lever provides no access control at all. For keyless entry on a lever-prepped door, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock has a passage function and is ADA compliant for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds double combination, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2.
16) Is the Emtek Merrimack dummy lever solid brass all the way through?
Brass is both the material and the substrate on the Merrimack, so the lever and rosette are brass rather than a plated zinc casting. That matters on unlacquered brass in particular, where the finish is the metal itself and will age rather than wear off a coating.
17) What is the closest decorative entry lever if the Merrimack dummy is being used elsewhere in the same house?
Deltana's decorative entry levers are the comparable dressed-up options: the 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead are entry function levers for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the 5851 Claremont is also an entry lever. These cover the front and back doors while the Emtek Merrimack dummy pair, a non-keyed brass lever pair, handles the closet and French doors.
