Emtek Modern Designer Brass Leverset - Argos Lever, Dummy (Pair)

It covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans the common interior door and the standard commercial-thickness door. Since it is surface mounted, the thickness only matters for the through-fastening, not for a latch chassis.

Yes. The Argos dummy is offered left hand and right hand, so the lever throw has to be called out on the order. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand opening. On a pair of French doors, order matching handing per leaf so the levers point the way you want.

No. Dummy means the lever is fixed trim: no cylinder, no key, no latchbolt, no privacy turn. It is a pull. If the door actually has to stay shut or be locked, you need a passage, privacy, or entry set instead, for example the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage or privacy lever on the 5048 rose.

The Emtek Argos dummy lever is a brass residential leverset. For a heavy-duty commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock. Both are dummy function like the Argos, so they still provide a pull only with no latch.

The Argos dummy pair is non-keyed dummy function with surface mount and no door prep, so it does not latch. For a latching non-keyed opening, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever, and the Dexter C1000 passage is a Grade 1 clutching passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For bed and bath, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is the nearest decorative counterpart, offered as a left hand (5103 LDM) and a right hand (5103 RDM) half dummy. The Argos is sold as a pair rather than a single, and is ordered by handing, left hand or right hand, with a choice of brass rosette.

The Emtek Argos dummy 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 6201 Manchester 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.

The Argos dummy is a surface mount residential trim with no door prep and no latch. Where a rated latching lever is required, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever is fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever is fire rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.

Six brass rosettes pair with the Argos lever: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. That is how you keep dummy doors matching the passage and privacy sets already on the other openings, since the same rosette families carry across the brass line.

Seven: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass is a living finish and will patina over time, so specify it only where the owner wants that change; the lifetime polished nickel is the one to pick when the look has to stay put.

It is part of Emtek's brass collection in contemporary styling, and it takes the same brass rosettes as the working functions, so the closet and French doors read the same as the passage and privacy openings. Match the finish code and rosette shape across the order and the set of doors looks like one specification.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy lever. The Emtek Argos differs in being solid brass in a contemporary design, ordered with a choice of rosette style including Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 LDM and RDM are half dummy levers supplied as singles per hand, while the Argos dummy is sold as a complete pair. The Accentra 455LN Augusta and the BEST 9K 1DT are also single dummy trim, so one of those covers only one face of the door.

The Argos dummy is non-keyed. For keyed openings alongside it, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Trim styling will not match the Emtek brass rosettes.
