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

No bore prep needed. The Poseidon dummy pair is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch bore. That is why it is the usual choice for closet doors, double doors, and false fronts where the door is held by a ball catch or roller catch rather than a latch.

Dummy means non-latching. The Poseidon dummy is a fixed pull, it is non-keyed and it does not operate a latch, so it does not turn and it does not hold the door closed. If you need the lever to retract a latch on an inactive or closet door, you want a passage lever instead, something like the Accentra 5301LN Augusta or the Falcon B101.

Handing sets which way the lever points. Right hand and left hand are both offered, and on a pair you normally order so the levers mirror each other on the two doors. Pick the hand by standing outside the opening and noting which side the hinges are on.

The Emtek Poseidon dummy leverset is sold as a complete pair for both faces of the door. When only one face needs a lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with the 5048 rose covers a single side and is ordered by hand - BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand. Both the Emtek Poseidon and the Baldwin 5103 are dummy function, so neither latches; the difference is one face versus two.

The Emtek Poseidon dummy pair is a non-keyed dummy, surface mounted with no door prep, so it has no latch at all. For a hall or closet door that needs a latching handle, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is also offered in a passage version with the same 5048 rose, and the Bravura Atlanta BVR-BV333002 is a Grade 2 passage leverset with round trim. Either of those retracts a latchbolt when the lever is turned.

The Emtek Poseidon dummy pair is rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker leaves, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6411 Morant entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummies.

Two. It is sold as a complete set with a lever and rosette for each side, which is what you need for a pair of French doors or for both faces of a single door where you want matching trim inside and out.

Yes, and the choice is yours across six brass rosettes: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. The Poseidon lever takes any brass rosette, so you can carry a round rose through one room and a square rose through another while keeping the same lever.

The Poseidon is part of Emtek's Brass collection in a contemporary style, and the dummy shares the same lever and the same six rosette choices as the other Poseidon functions, so a run of doors reads consistently whether a given door needs a dummy pull or a working lever. Keep the finish code the same across the order and the trim matches.

No latch and no strike, because a dummy has nothing to latch. The set is the levers and rosettes with their mounting screws. If the door needs to stay shut, budget separately for a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch at the head or jamb.

The Emtek Poseidon dummy pair is solid brass, offered in seven finishes including Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and in six rosette shapes. If the decorative range is not needed, the Callan Bentley CLN-BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim.

Several levers resemble a dummy but carry working hardware. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy version with the 5048 rose is privacy/bed/bath function, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and Deltana 6431 Linstead are entry function levers for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock. The Emtek Poseidon dummy pair is non-keyed with no latch and mounts on the door surface, so none of those swap in without door prep.

The Emtek Poseidon dummy pair covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and can be ordered with any brass rosette, which is how a suite of doors is kept visually consistent. If the working doors are being sourced from another line, Baldwin Estate 5103 is available across dummy, passage and privacy on the same 5048 rose, which keeps one trim shape across mixed functions.

The Emtek Poseidon dummy pair is ordered as right hand or left hand. If a non-handed lever is preferred so stock can go on any opening, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers - both latching functions rather than dummies.

Brass. Both the material and the substrate are brass, not a zinc casting with a brass coat, which matters if you are specifying unlacquered brass and expect it to patina naturally rather than wear through a plating.
