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

No prep needed. The Hermes dummy leverset is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no bore or latch mortise. That makes it the usual choice for closet doors, double doors, and French door inactive leaves where there is no latch to operate.

Yes. The Hermes leverset covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 1-3/4 inch, which spans the common interior slab and the standard 1-3/4 inch door.

The Hermes lever is a shaped, one-direction handle, so it has to be ordered right hand or left hand to point the correct way on your door. Handing is a required selection, and on a pair of doors you will typically order one of each so the levers mirror.

Yes, and that is the point of the dummy version. It is offered in Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and can be ordered with any brass rosette, so a closet or French door lever reads the same as the passage and privacy openings around it.

It is a residential-rated solid brass trim, not a graded commercial lock. For a dummy on a commercial opening where an ANSI grade is specified, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim (Grade 1, heavy duty) or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT (Grade 2). Those are single dummy trims, so a two-sided application needs two.

A dummy lever does not latch; the Emtek Hermes dummy is surface mounted with no door prep and no latch mechanism. If the door needs to latch closed, use a passage lever such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose in a decorative line, or a commercial passage lever like the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever covers that function.

The Emtek Hermes dummy lever is a residential brass leverset with a dummy function, so for heavy commercial traffic a graded dummy trim is the usual move. The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock. Both are single dummy trims rather than a matched pair, so order two if you need a lever on each face of a double door.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever is the nearest decorative counterpart, offered as a left hand version with the 5048 rose and a right hand version with the same rose. The difference in ordering: the Emtek Hermes dummy is sold as a pair with handing selected as right or left hand, while the Baldwin 5103 half dummies are ordered as separate left hand and right hand items.

Six rose styles: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Round roses cover older bore holes on a retrofit; the rectangular and square roses suit a contemporary trim package.

Yes. A split finish option is available at order, which is useful when a bedroom or closet door faces a hallway in one metal and the room behind it in another.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, so the function matches. The Emtek Hermes differs in material and styling: it is solid brass in a contemporary style, offered in Flat Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Brass, Satin Nickel and Unlacquered Brass, and it can be paired with any brass rosette in the line.

They serve the same non-latching purpose but differ in build and quantity. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim, a single lever intended for one face of a door. The Emtek Hermes dummy is a residential brass leverset sold as a complete pair, with the rosette chosen from Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern.

The Emtek Hermes dummy leverset is rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker door, look at Grade 1 commercial trim: the Accentra 455LN Augusta and the BEST 9K Series 1DT are both Grade 1 dummy levers built on commercial platforms, and among functioning levers the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

Not interchangeably. The Emtek Hermes dummy is non-keyed and non-electronic, with no cylinder and no latch, so it cannot secure an opening. If that door needs credentialed access, choose a keyed or electronic lever such as the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, a Grade 2 unit, or a keyed entrance lever like the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lockset. Those require standard door prep rather than the surface mounting the Hermes dummy uses.

Neither. Hermes in the dummy configuration is non-keyed and non-electronic, a pull only. If you need code entry on a similar opening, the Lockey 2835 keyless lever handles doors from 1-3/16 to 2 inches thick.
