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

A dummy pair is pull trim only. The Freestone dummy set has no latch, no spindle turn, and no lock function, so it does not hold a door closed. It's what you put on a pair of French doors, a closet door held by a ball catch or roller catch, or the inactive leaf of a double door where a separate catch or flush bolt does the holding. Pair means you get a lever for each face of the door. If you need the door to stay shut on its own, order a passage set instead.

No door prep needed. The Freestone dummy is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no 1 inch edge bore. That makes it the usual choice on a glass-panel French door stile or a slab you don't want to drill through, and it's why a dummy can go on a door that's already hung and finished.

The Freestone is a shaped lever, so it's made in Left Hand and Right Hand versions to get the lever pointing the correct way once it's mounted. Stand on the outside of the door (the side that swings away from you) and note which side the hinges are on: hinges on the left is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. On a dummy pair for French doors, buyers commonly order one hand for each leaf so the two levers mirror each other, and it's worth deciding that before you order because a dummy can't be field-reversed the way a latching cylindrical lock often can.

The rosette is a separate choice on the Freestone dummy, and it can be ordered with any brass rosette. Six are offered: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. If a house or unit already runs Emtek brass trim, pick the rosette that matches what's on the neighbouring doors rather than accepting a default, since the rose is the part anyone actually sees against the door face.

The Freestone is a residential leverset, so it's the wrong pick for a commercial corridor, a school, or anywhere the spec calls for a graded cylindrical lock. For a graded commercial dummy in the same lever format, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty version. Accentra's 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy lever. Note those are single dummy trims, one lever, where the Emtek Freestone is sold as a pair.

The Freestone dummy is sold as a complete pair - a lever and rosette for each face of the door. A single or half dummy is one side only: the BEST 7KC Series 1DT and the BEST 9K Series 1DT are single dummy trim, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is ordered as a left hand or right hand part. For a double door or a pair of French doors where both faces are seen, the pair covers the opening in one order; for a closet door pulled from one side only, a single dummy is the matching part. The Freestone is itself ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand.

The Emtek Freestone dummy leverset is a brass residential lever with a dummy function and no keying. For a commercial-duty equivalent, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta from the 5400 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever. Both hold the same dummy function - a fixed lever with no latch - in a graded cylindrical body rather than a decorative brass one. The trade is appearance and finish range against ANSI grading: the Freestone is offered in seven finishes including Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Flat Black (US19) and can take a Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square or Urban Modern rosette.

A dummy lever is fixed; it does not operate a latch, so it is the wrong part for a door that has to stay closed. For a working non-locking lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is offered in a passage version, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty non-handed passage cylindrical lever, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Baldwin 5103 is the nearest in character to a decorative brass lever; the Falcons are commercial cylindrical locks.

A dummy lever has no locking mechanism and is not keyed, so a bath or bedroom door needs a privacy function instead. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a privacy lever with the 5048 rose, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 fire rated privacy lock with a Tudor knob for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Where the Freestone lever look has to continue on the bath door, the Baldwin 5103 privacy keeps a decorative rose-mounted lever rather than a knob.

No. The Freestone dummy is surface mounted and needs no door prep, and it suits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Cylindrical peers are bored into the door and are specified by thickness range instead: the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Design Hardware X75 Grade 1 passage lever is built for 1-3/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. If the door is already bored for a cylindrical lock, one of those fills the prep; the Freestone will leave it exposed.

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). A split finish can be specified as an order note if you want the two faces of the pair different, which is what people do when the interior side has to match a room and the exterior side has to match the rest of the hardware. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina with handling rather than staying as delivered.

The Freestone set covered here is dummy only, non-keyed, with no latching or locking function. If you're specifying a whole floor and need matching functions on the working doors, the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever runs the full set in the same family: passage with the 5048 rose, privacy with the 5048 rose, and left or right half dummy. That's the usual route when a designer wants one lever profile carried across bedroom, bath, and French doors.

Yes. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy lever, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Both do what a dummy does - give a pull on a door that does not latch - in a lighter medium-duty body than a Grade 1 dummy such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT. The Emtek Freestone remains the choice where the brass material and the Urban Modern styling need to carry through the rest of the openings.

The Freestone is a non-keyed dummy, so it cannot serve an entry. Keyed entry options include the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead entry levers, both covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Cal-Royal AUS00 Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 entry/office clutching lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Deltana and Cal-Royal levers stay closest to the decorative brass character of the Freestone; the Dexter and Hager are commercial cylindrical bodies.

No - those solve a different problem. The Emtek Freestone dummy is a non-electronic, non-keyed fixed lever for doors that need a pull rather than access control. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those go on doors that need controlled entry; a dummy lever cannot be substituted for one, and none of them will match the Freestone rosette family.

It can be, but the hardware carries a latch it does not need and requires a bored door and a strike. Passage options include the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar Grade 2 round trim passage leversets and the Bravura Tampa Grade 2 square trim passage leverset, the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage lever, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Where the door is a false front, an inactive leaf or a pantry pull, the Emtek Freestone dummy is the direct part - it is surface mounted with no door prep and comes as a complete pair.

Brass. Both the material and the substrate on the Freestone are brass, not a plated pot-metal casting, which is the difference that shows up over years of handling in the finish wearing rather than flaking. The styling is Urban Modern, a squared contemporary line rather than a traditional profile.

Neither. The Freestone dummy is a fully mechanical, non-electronic, non-keyed lever, so there's no cylinder to key, no keyway to match to a building master, and nothing to power. If the opening actually needs access control on a lever, that's a different product entirely, such as the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock or a Lockey mechanical pushbutton lever set.
