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

No bore prep is needed. The Basel dummy leverset is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore or latch bore. That makes it the usual choice for a door that was never prepped for hardware, like a closet or pantry slab, or for the inactive leaf of a French pair.

It covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans the common interior slab and the heavier 1-3/4 inch door. Because it is surface mounted there is no spindle to size to the thickness, the mounting just needs to land in the door face within that range.

Yes, handing is an order choice: left hand (LH) or right hand (RH). The Basel is a straight contemporary lever, so the hand sets which way the lever points when it is on the door. On a pair of French doors people usually order to match the swing of the active leaf so both levers point the same direction.

Neither. It is a dummy function and non-keyed, meaning the lever is fixed trim with no latch, no turn, and no cylinder. Use it as a pull. If the door has to stay shut you need a latching set: for a hall or closet door, a passage function like the Bravura Atlanta round trim passage leverset; for a bed or bath door, a privacy set like the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever.

The Basel dummy leverset is a residential brass lever, surface mounted with no door prep. For a heavy-duty commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta from the 5400 Series is also a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock. Both are dummy function like the Basel, but they are commercial cylindrical trim rather than a decorative brass residential set.

The Basel dummy pair has no latch at all; it is surface mounted with no door prep and is non-keyed. If the door needs to latch, comparable residential-style leversets with working functions include the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose for a hall or closet door, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose for a bed or bath door.

The Basel dummy is sold as a complete set in pairs, with left hand and right hand offered. If a single side is all the opening needs, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is offered in left hand and right hand versions, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever.

A dummy set does not latch and is not what a fire door needs. For rated openings, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

Six brass rosettes pair with the Basel lever: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. That is the piece to match to the rest of the room, round rosettes read softer and the Square or Modern Rectangular line up with square-edge trim and hinges. Any brass rosette in the range can be ordered with this lever.

Seven finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Since these are the standard Emtek brass collection finishes, a Basel dummy will match passage and privacy sets from the same collection across the rest of the openings. Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will patina with handling.

You can, but it will not cover the hole the way a bored lockset does, because the Basel dummy is surface mounted and sized to its rosette rather than to a cross bore. On a door already prepped for a cylindrical lock, a bored dummy trim like the BEST 7KC Series single dummy is the cleaner swap, or fill and skin the bore before mounting the Basel.

They share the dummy function but differ in how they are specified. The Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever. The Emtek Basel dummy is a residential brass set offered in seven finishes including Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Flat Black (US19), and in six rosette styles such as Square, Neos and Urban Modern, so it is chosen when the trim has to match a decorative program.

Only if the door needs a latch. The Basel dummy pair is surface mount with no door prep and no latching mechanism, so it suits closet, pantry and inactive french door leaves. Passage sets such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton Grade 3 passage lever all require a bored latch prep in the door edge.

The Emtek Basel dummy pair covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For thicker leaves, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Note these are latching functions rather than dummy trim.

No. The Basel dummy pair is non-keyed and has no cylinder. For keyed openings in a similar lever format, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever.

The Basel dummy pair is surface mount and needs no door prep, which makes it the simpler retrofit on a finished door. Commercial dummy trims such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT Grade 2 are cylindrical dummy trim, matched to the bored prep of their lock series.

The Basel dummy pair is a non-electronic, non-keyed decorative lever set. For code entry on a lever, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant with passage function for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.

Yes. There is an optional split finish field on the order, so you can call out one finish for the lever and another for the rosette, or different finishes on each face of the door. Write the exact combination you want in that field, along with anything else in the comments.

Solid brass throughout, both the lever and the rosette, which is why the plated and living finishes hold up on a frequently touched door. Brass is the substrate under every finish offered, including Flat Black and Oil Rubbed Bronze.

They serve different doors. Bravura offers Grade 2 passage leversets such as the Miramar with round trim in US4 Satin Brass, the Atlanta with round trim, and the Tampa with square trim, all of which latch. The Emtek Basel is a dummy set in brass with Satin Brass (US4) among its finishes, intended for doors that are pulled rather than latched.
