Emtek Modern Classic Brass Leverset - Athena Lever, Dummy (Pair)

No prep needed. The Athena dummy leverset is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no bore hole and no latch mortise. That makes it the usual choice for closet doors, French door inactive leaves, and double doors where you want matching levers but no working latch.

Yes. The Athena dummy pair covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, which spans the common older interior door and the standard modern 1-3/4 inch slab. Because it is surface mounted there is no latch to adjust for thickness.

Handing sets which way the lever points. The Athena dummy is offered in right hand and left hand, and since a dummy is fixed in place it cannot be flipped after the fact the way a working lever sometimes can. Stand outside the door: on a pair, order one of each so the levers mirror each other.

The Athena dummy pair is a residential brass lever set with a dummy function and no keying. For a commercial-grade alternative in the same dummy role, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock. Both are single dummy trims, so a pair of doors or a double door would take two, where the Athena is sold as a pair in one set.

The Athena dummy pair covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker slabs, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note these are latching functions rather than dummy trim.

The Athena dummy pair is surface mount with no latch and no door prep, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching non-keyed lever in a residential style, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is a passage function lever, and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set is a Grade 3 passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Athena covers. On the commercial side, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design.

A dummy lever has no locking mechanism, so it is not suitable for a bath or bedroom. For a privacy function in a similar residential style, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set, a Grade 3 privacy lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, both serve that opening. For commercial privacy, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

It ships as a complete set of two dummy levers, one for each face of the door, with the brass rosettes you select. Nothing else is needed to mount it since there is no latch or strike involved. If you only need a single lever on one face, a pair is the wrong order.

Seven finishes are offered: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Rosette shape is a separate choice across Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern, so you can match both the plating and the rose profile used on your working locksets. A split finish can also be specified if the two faces of the door need different finishes.

Watch the count and the handing. The Athena set ships as a pair of levers for both faces and is ordered right hand or left hand. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is a one-side trim ordered specifically as left hand or right hand, and the Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, while the BEST 9K 1DT and 7KC 1DT are single dummy trims. Substituting any single dummy one-for-one on a double door leaves one face bare.

The Athena dummy pair is non-keyed. For keyed entry in a decorative residential line, the Deltana 5851 Claremont and 6201 Manchester levers are entry function. For commercial keyed entry, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever.

The Athena dummy pair is solid brass with a choice of Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern rosettes in seven finishes. Where the decorative range is not needed, the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar passage leversets with round trim and the Bravura Tampa with square trim are Grade 2 leversets with fixed trim shapes, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. These are passage functions, so they latch rather than serving as dummy trim.

The Athena dummy pair is a residential lever with no latch and no keying, so it does not serve a secured institutional opening. For that work, the Dexter C1000 Series offers Grade 1 classroom, classroom security and asylum functions, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Athena dummy pair is a mechanical non-electronic lever with no access control. For code entry, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is a passage function that is ADA compliant and fits 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 throughout, both the lever and the rosette, which is why the unlacquered brass option will patina over time while the plated finishes will not. Styling is contemporary rather than traditional.
