Emtek Modern Brass Key In Leverset - Hercules Lever with Rosette - Dummy (Pair)

A dummy lever is a fixed pull. There's no latch, no spring return, no key. The Hercules lever with rosette in dummy function mounts to the face of the door and gives you something to grab, nothing more. Sold as a pair because the usual application is a set of double doors or a closet pair where each leaf needs a matching handle on one side. If you need the door to actually stay shut, a dummy is the wrong function, you want a passage or privacy set instead.

Yes, handing is required. Hercules is offered left hand and right hand, and a lever is a handed part, it has to point away from the hinge. On a pair of doors that usually means one of each, so check which leaf takes which before you order rather than ordering two of the same hand.

The Emtek Hercules lever with rosette is a brass residential dummy leverset, surface mounted with no door prep. For a commercial-duty dummy on the same non-latching opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Both are dummy function like the Hercules, but they are commercial cylindrical trim rather than decorative brass residential hardware.

The Hercules is a residential brass dummy with no latching mechanism, so it does not carry a fire rating. Openings that require a fire rated lever should use a listed commercial lock such as the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage/closet lever, both fire rated, or the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, also fire rated.

A dummy lever does not latch or retract anything; it is surface mounted with no door prep. If the door needs to close and hold, a passage function lever is the right part: the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the decorative-brand counterpart, and on the commercial side the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever. For a privacy bath or bedroom door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever takes the same 5048 rose.

The Emtek Hercules dummy leverset is supplied as a pair, one lever and rosette on each face, and handing is required. For a single-side application, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is offered in left hand and right hand versions, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed single dummy.

No. The Hercules lever with rosette is a non-keyed dummy, tubular type, with no cylinder and no latch. A keyed opening needs an entry or storeroom function lever such as the Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 entry/office cylindrical lever, the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lever with Withnell lever, or, in a residential decorative style, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry which covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

Seven rosettes back the Hercules lever: Modern Brass Disk, Modern Brass Rectangular, Modern Brass Square, Classic Brass #8, Classic Brass Rectangular, Classic Brass Regular, and Classic Brass Rope. The rope rosette runs in limited finishes, the rest are open. This is where you match the dummy to the passage and privacy sets already on the other doors, since the rosette is the part people notice, not the lever.

Seven finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). A split finish option is available if you want one finish on the corridor side and another on the room side, which is how you keep a hallway consistent without giving up the interior scheme.

In the same decorative residential lane, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer, and it's ordered by hand, left hand and right hand as separate items. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever if you want something plainer. The difference from Hercules is the family: Emtek backs this lever with seven rosette choices and seven finishes including unlacquered brass, so it's the one to pick when you're matching a whole house of trim rather than a single door.

The Hercules is a solid brass residential leverset offered across seven finishes and seven rosette styles, which is what a decorative opening calls for. If the appearance matters less, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim lever. Both perform the same non-latching pull function without the brass decorative trim program.

The Hercules dummy is a fixed lever pair mounted to the door face with no door prep and no moving latch, so it serves as a pull on a door held by a ball catch or roller catch. The Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 passage function cylindrical lock in the GL Series with a Sierra lever, non-keyed, fitting 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors; it bores through the door and retracts a latch. They are not interchangeable on the same opening without changing the door prep.

The Hercules dummy leverset is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker stock, the Deltana 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead levers cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummies, so confirm the opening needs a working latch before switching.

The Hercules program is contemporary brass in finishes including satin brass, unlacquered brass, polished nickel, satin nickel, polished chrome, oil rubbed bronze and flat black, across seven rosette styles. For the working doors nearby in a comparable decorative brass line, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in passage, privacy and half dummy with the same 5048 rose, and Deltana offers the Claremont 5851, Manchester 6201, Morant 6411 and Linstead 6431 levers in entry function.

The Hercules dummy is a residential brass lever pair that does not latch, which suits a decorative closet or French door held by a catch. Where the closet door needs to latch under repeated traffic, a commercial passage lever is the fit: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet lever in the 5300 Series, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with non-handed design, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Hercules dummy is a non-electronic mechanical lever pair with no latch and no credential of any kind. For keyless access on the same door, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is a passage function unit that is ADA compliant and covers 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.

Brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters for an unlacquered brass order in particular, since US3NL is meant to patina down over time and only does that properly on solid brass. The Hercules lever sits in Emtek's contemporary styling.

No cylinder, no keyway, nothing to pin. Hercules in dummy function is non keyed and non electronic, so there's no cylinder to match to an existing keyway and nothing to wire. It's a tubular style lock family, but the dummy carries none of the tubular chassis, just the trim.

They serve different openings. The Hercules is a dummy, a fixed lever pair with no latch. The Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass, and Bravura also offers the Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and the Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage. A passage lever retracts a latch and needs a bored door; use one only if the door must latch.
