Emtek 5057.AST.RH.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Emtek Aston dummy lever pair actually do, and does it latch?
A dummy lever doesn't latch or turn anything. The Aston dummy pair is fixed trim, one lever on each face, used on doors that stay shut by a roller catch or magnet, or on the inactive leaf of a French pair. If you need a lever that retracts a latch, order a passage function instead, such as the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando passage leverset.
2) Do I need to bore my door for an Emtek Aston dummy lever?
No door prep is needed. The Aston dummy pair is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch bore and no latch mortise. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
3) Why does a dummy lever need handing?
A dummy lever is fixed, so it cannot be reversed in the field the way a latching lever can. The Aston dummy pair is ordered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), which sets the direction the lever points. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's left hand. For a French pair, the two leaves take opposite hands.
4) Will the Aston dummy lever match my other Emtek doors?
It will if you carry the rosette and finish through. The Aston dummy pair is offered on six rosettes, Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern, and in seven finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Pick the same rosette and finish used on the passage and privacy sets elsewhere in the house.
5) Which dummy lever should I use on a commercial opening instead of the Emtek Aston?
The Emtek Aston dummy pair is a residential brass leverset. For commercial work, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. The Accentra 455LN Augusta from the 5400 Series is another Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever. Note that all three are single dummy trim, covering one face, while the Aston is supplied as a pair.
6) What is a decorative alternative to the Emtek Aston dummy lever pair for a residential door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is a comparable decorative dummy lever. It is ordered as a single handed piece - BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand - so two are needed to dress both faces of a door, while the Emtek Aston dummy is sold as a pair with left hand and right hand offered as a handing choice. The Emtek Aston is a brass lever in a contemporary style, and its rosette is a separate selection including Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern.
7) I need a latching lever, not a dummy - what matches instead of the Aston dummy pair?
A dummy lever does not turn or latch; the Emtek Aston dummy is a non-keyed dummy function. If the door needs to latch, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in passage and privacy functions on the same 5048 rose, so the look carries across a set of doors. In Grade 2 commercial passage, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Hager 2510 Withnell are options, and the Hager 2510 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
8) Can the Emtek Aston dummy pair be keyed or used on an entry door?
No. The Aston dummy is a non-keyed dummy function with no cylinder and no latch action, intended for surface mounting. For a keyed entry lever, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead entry levers fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever, and the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset.
9) Is this pair one lever or two?
Two. The Aston dummy pair gives you a lever and rosette for each face of the door. If you only want trim on one side, that's a half dummy, such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered left hand or right hand separately.
10) Does the Aston dummy lever come with a latch and strike, and do I have to pick a backset?
Backset is not a factor on a dummy, since there's no latch bore to hit. Emtek sells the Aston as a complete set and the latch and strike plate come with the latching functions in the line, where the standard latch is 2-3/8 inch backset and 2-3/4 inch is specified if needed. For the surface mounted dummy pair you're mounting to the door face only.
11) Can I use the Aston lever on a closet or pantry door that only needs a pull?
That's exactly the use. A dummy lever on a closet, pantry or cabinet door gives you a grip that matches the rest of the openings, with no latch mechanism. Add a roller catch or magnetic catch to hold the door closed, since the lever itself does nothing to keep it shut.
12) Is there a lower cost dummy lever that still gives a finished look on both door faces?
The Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever and a simpler option than the Emtek Aston brass dummy pair. The Bentley is a single dummy, so two are required to trim both faces, while the Aston ships as a pair. The Aston also allows the rosette to be chosen separately - Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square or Urban Modern - which the Bentley does not offer.
13) What holds up better than a residential brass dummy lever on a high traffic institutional door?
For heavy traffic openings, Grade 1 cylindrical levers are the usual choice. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant fire rated passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek Aston dummy is a residential brass dummy pair with no latching mechanism, so it suits interior closet, pantry and inactive door leaves rather than traffic-bearing openings.
14) For a bathroom or bedroom door, what takes the place of the Aston dummy lever?
A dummy lever has no locking action, so a privacy function is needed for a bath or bedroom. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever on the 5048 rose is the closest decorative match, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a fire rated privacy lock with a Tudor knob.
15) Does a passage leverset work as a substitute for a dummy pair on a false door?
It will mount, but it is not the same part. The Emtek Aston dummy is fixed trim with no latch, so nothing protrudes into the frame. Passage levers such as the Design Hardware J75 Grade 2 flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors or the Falcon B101 Grade 2 non-handed passage lever carry a retracting latchbolt and require a strike in the jamb. On an inactive leaf or a pantry door with a roller catch, the dummy trim is the matching part.
16) Is the Emtek Aston lever solid brass, and will Unlacquered Brass change color?
Brass is the material and substrate on the Aston lever, in Emtek's Brass collection. Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) has no clear coat, so it will darken and patina with handling. If you want the look to stay put, go with Satin Brass (US4) or Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14).
17) Is there an electronic or keyed version of this Aston leverset?
No. The Aston dummy is mechanical and non-keyed, with no cylinder. If the opening needs code entry, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever lock or the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock cover that; for a keyed residential entry, look at a Deltana Claremont or Manchester entry lever.
18) I want a keyless pushbutton lever on the same door - what should I look at?
The Emtek Aston dummy is a mechanical non-electronic dummy pair. For code-entry openings, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever is ADA compliant with a passage function for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock if power is preferred over mechanical.
19) What contemporary passage levers pair visually with an Emtek Aston dummy on adjacent doors?
The Aston is a contemporary brass lever available in Flat Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Brass, Satin Nickel and Unlacquered Brass. For adjacent latching doors in a similar clean style, the Bravura Tampa Grade 2 passage leverset uses square trim and the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando Grade 2 passage leversets use round trim; the Bravura Miramar Grade 2 passage leverset is offered in US4 Satin Brass, which matches the Aston Satin Brass designation.
