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

No boring needed. The Geneva dummy leverset is surface mount, so it fastens to the face of the door with no cross-bore or latch prep. That makes it the usual choice for a false door leaf, a closet or pantry door held by a ball catch or magnetic catch, or the inactive leaf of a pair. There is no latch and no turn, so it will not hold the door shut on its own.

The pair gives you a lever on both faces of one door, which is what you want on a false or fixed leaf that gets pulled from either side, or on a double door where both leaves need matching trim. If you only need a lever on one face, a single (half) dummy is the correct item. Comparable single dummies we carry include the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, handed left or right, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim.

Yes. The Geneva lever is handed, ordered either left hand (LH) or right hand (RH). Because it is a dummy with no latch, handing is purely about which way the lever sweeps to match the adjacent working doors, so pick the hand that mirrors the operating levers on the same opening.

Emtek classes the Geneva brass leverset as residential. It is solid brass with a contemporary profile, aimed at interior residential trim rather than graded commercial duty. For a commercial corridor or high-traffic multi-family opening, a Grade 1 dummy trim like the BEST 9K Series 1DT or the Accentra 455LN Augusta heavy duty dummy lever is the right class of product.

It does not. The Geneva dummy is non-keyed with no latching mechanism, so the lever is fixed trim used as a pull. If you need the door to latch, order a passage function instead, and for a bed or bath you need a privacy set with a thumbturn.

The Emtek Geneva dummy leverset is sold as a complete pair, so both faces of the door get a lever. When only one face needs trim, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is a single-side dummy and is offered handed - BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand. BEST also offers single dummy trim levers: the 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 non-keyed single dummy trim and the 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. Accentra's 455LN Augusta is another single dummy, a Grade 1 cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series.

The Emtek Geneva dummy leverset is a non-keyed dummy, surface mounted with no door prep, so it has no latch at all. For a door that needs a latch but no lock, a passage lever is the right function: the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the same 5048 rose as the Baldwin half dummy, so the look carries across doors. In commercial trim, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. If the door is a bed or bath, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever or Hager 2540 privacy lever with Withnell lever adds the interior lock.

The Emtek Geneva dummy leverset is a residential brass leverset and is specified by finish, rosette and handing rather than by ANSI grade. When the schedule calls out a grade on a dummy, the graded dummy levers are the BEST 9K Series 1DT at Grade 1 heavy duty, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT at Grade 2 medium duty, the Accentra 455LN Augusta at Grade 1, and the Callan Bentley at Grade 2.

Three choices: finish, handing, and rosette. Finishes are Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Handing is LH or RH. Rosettes are Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. A split finish can be requested in the optional comment field if you want different finishes on each face.

Yes, within the brass line. The Geneva lever can be ordered with any brass rosette, and six styles are offered: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Ordering the same rosette and finish used on the passage and privacy levers elsewhere in the house keeps the trim consistent across the openings.

Within the same solid-brass residential category, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with the 5048 rose is the nearest decorative option we carry, ordered left or right hand. It is a single dummy rather than a pair, so for a two-sided application you would need two. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever if you want something plainer.

Anything with a latch or a cylinder is a different animal. The Emtek Geneva dummy pair is non-keyed, surface mounted with no door prep, and has no latching or locking mechanism. Products that share the lever look but require a bored door and operate a latch include the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever with its adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike, the Design Hardware X75 Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever. Keyed and keypad levers are further removed still - the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever. None of those will drop into an unprepped door the way the Geneva dummy does.

The Emtek Geneva dummy leverset covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker doors, look at functions rated wider: the Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummies, so confirm the function against the opening before you order.

The Emtek Geneva dummy pair is 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 rosettes, so it is intended to be matched across a house. For a family that spans functions under one design, Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is offered as a half dummy, a passage lever and a privacy lever. On the commercial side, BEST covers dummy and graded functions within the 9K and 7KC Series, and Hager's Withnell lever appears on the 2510 passage, 2540 privacy and 2580 storeroom.

Yes - the Emtek Geneva dummy leverset is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), because a lever points one direction and cannot be flipped. The same is true of the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is stocked as separate left hand (BAL-5103-LDM) and right hand (BAL-5103-RDM) items. If handing on the order is a risk you want to remove, the non-handed commercial levers such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage are designed non-handed, though those are latching passage functions rather than dummies.

Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is raw brass with no protective coating, so it patinas with handling and air exposure. If you want the brass tone held stable, pick Satin Brass (US4) instead; Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14) is the other finish in the range built to hold its appearance.
