Emtek Lost Wax Cast Bronze Leversets - Medici Lever, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep at all. The Medici lost wax cast bronze dummy lever pair is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch bore. That is what makes it the usual pick for closet doors, pantry doors and the inactive leaf of a double door, where you want a lever to pull on but no latching hardware.

Yes, 1-3/8 inch is inside the range. The Medici dummy lever pair covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, so it handles both the common older interior thickness and standard 1-3/4 inch stock.

Handing has to be chosen. The Medici dummy is ordered left hand or right hand, and since the lever is a fixed casting there is no flipping it on site the way you can with a non-handed commercial passage lever. Determine handing from the outside of the door, standing on the side the lever points away from the hinges, and order to match.

A pair, one lever for each face of the door, supplied as a complete set with its rosettes. If you only need one side, for instance on a French door leaf you never touch from the other face, look at a half dummy such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered as a left hand or right hand single.

A dummy pair supplies a fixed lever on both faces of the door, which is what a pair of French doors or a double door with inactive leaves needs. A half dummy supplies one lever for a single face, the way the Baldwin Estate 5103 is built as a separate left hand half dummy and right hand half dummy, each with the 5048 rose. The BEST 9K Series 1DT and the BEST 7KC Series are also single dummy trim. The Emtek Medici dummy is sold as a complete pair and is ordered by handing, left hand or right hand, along with finish and rosette.

The Medici dummy pair is a residential lost wax cast bronze lever set with a dummy function, meaning the lever is fixed trim with no latch. The commercial counterpart in the same function is the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, or the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim lever, a Grade 2 medium duty dummy. Accentra also builds the 455LN Augusta heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. All three carry an ANSI/BHMA grade, which matters on an institutional or MRO specification, while the Medici is a decorative residential set in Tuscany Bronze.

A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latching mechanism, so it will not hold a door closed. For a door that needs to latch but not lock, order a passage function lever instead. In a decorative residential style, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the passage version of the same Estate lever family that also offers left and right hand half dummy versions. On the commercial side, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, with a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage lever in the 5300 Series.

No. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch and no locking mechanism, so it cannot secure a bedroom or bathroom. Order a privacy function lever instead. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is the privacy version of that decorative Estate lever family. In commercial trim, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

No. A dummy is non-keyed fixed trim and accepts no cylinder. A classroom door takes a keyed classroom function such as the Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 classroom cylindrical lever with clutching, or the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever, Grade 2, 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, with a 2-3/4 inch backset. A storeroom door takes the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever.

Four rosette patterns, #11, #12, #14 and #15, and the Medici lever can be ordered on any Lost Wax Bronze rosette. That is the decision to make if you are matching rosettes already hanging elsewhere in the house, since the lever casting stays the same across all four.

Yes, split finish is an option on the Medici dummy pair, entered as a written instruction with the order, along with a free comment field for anything else the build needs. That matters on a door where the two faces sit in rooms with different trim, one side flat black bronze and the other medium bronze.

No. There is no cylinder and no locking mechanism in the Medici dummy, it is non-keyed by design and does not secure the door. For a bedroom or bath that needs to lock from the inside you want privacy function instead, and for a room that needs a key you want entry or entrance function.

Yes. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever in the Bentley series, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty dummy. Both are non-keyed fixed trim like the Emtek Medici, which is a non-keyed dummy in lost wax cast bronze. For a property manager standardizing decorative bronze on front-of-house doors and something simpler on utility doors, the function is the same and only the trim material and grade differ.

The Emtek Medici dummy pair is surface mount and requires no door prep, since a dummy has no latch to bore for. Anything with a working latch needs a bore and a latch prep, and the peers state a door thickness range because the chassis passes through the door: the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the Design Hardware X75 Grade 1 passage is built for 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office Grade 1 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Medici itself fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Medici is a residential decorative lever set in lost wax cast bronze, chosen for appearance and finish rather than to satisfy a graded commercial specification. When the drawing calls out a grade, the graded peers are the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage, Grade 1 vandal resistant and fire rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon T101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever in the T Series, and the Design Hardware J75 Grade 2 passage lever in the J Series for 1-3/4 inch doors. An institutional buyer standardizing a facility specifies from that group; the Medici suits residential and decorative openings.

Pair a dummy on the inactive leaf with a keyed entry lever on the active leaf. In decorative trim, Deltana builds entry levers with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range in several patterns, including the 6201 Manchester, the 6411 Morant and the 6431 Linstead, plus the 5851 Claremont entry. In commercial trim the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek Medici dummy is the non-keyed half of that arrangement and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is built across the range, with a passage lever, a privacy lever, and separate left hand and right hand half dummies, so the same lever pattern can repeat on every door type. The Emtek Medici covers the dummy position in lost wax cast bronze and is ordered in Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze with a choice of #11, #12, #14 or #15 rosette, so the rosette and finish can be held constant across the openings that take it.

Two bronze finishes, Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are part of the Tuscany Bronze collection, so they are meant to sit alongside other Emtek lost wax cast bronze trim in the same house. Every rosette pattern is offered in both.

Lost wax cast bronze. The casting process is what gives the Medici lever its weight and the surface texture on the finish, and the material is bronze rather than a plated zinc casting. Bronze in a sand or wax cast also means small variation piece to piece, which is normal for the Tuscany line.

They solve different problems. The Emtek Medici dummy is fixed trim with no mechanism at all. A keyless pushbutton set controls who gets through: the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever has a passage function and is ADA compliant for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination on the same thickness range, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination, passage function, for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2. Choose a dummy only where the door does not need to latch or restrict access.
