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

No door prep is needed. The Mercury dummy leverset is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door rather than dropping into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. There is no latch and no spindle through the door, which is why it works on closet doors, French door slabs, and fixed panels that were never bored for a lockset.

Handing on a Mercury dummy is purely about which way the lever points. You order Left Hand or Right Hand so the lever throws toward the correct side of the opening. Stand outside the door: the side the hinges are on tells you the hand. On a pair of doors you'll typically want one of each so the levers mirror.

Two. It's the pair version, a complete set with a lever and rosette for each face of the door. If you only need one side, such as an inactive door leaf where nobody pulls from the back, you want a half dummy instead, like the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy which is offered in dedicated left hand and right hand versions.

A passage lever has a working latch that holds the door closed and retracts when you press the handle. A dummy like the Emtek Mercury is a fixed pull only, mounted to the door face with no latch at all. Use dummy on inactive French door leaves, double closet doors, and ball-catch or roller-catch openings. Use passage where the door has to stay shut on its own, such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever or a Grade 2 commercial passage lock.

Yes, that's a textbook dummy application. With a ball catch or roller catch holding the leaf closed, you only need something to grip, and the Mercury dummy pair gives you a lever on both faces of the door with no boring. Order one Left Hand and one Right Hand set if you want the two leaves to mirror each other.

The Emtek Mercury dummy lever pair is a brass residential leverset, so for a commercial opening look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed cylindrical lever, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim, which is Grade 2 medium duty. Accentra also offers the 455LN Augusta, a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. All three are single dummy trim, so a double door needs two units, whereas the Mercury dummy ships as a pair.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is the nearest residential equivalent. Baldwin splits it into handed part numbers - BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand - so a pair of doors takes two orders, while the Emtek Mercury dummy is sold as a complete set for the pair and is also ordered by handing, left hand or right hand. Both are non-keyed dummy trim, so neither has a latch and neither needs a bore for a latch case.

A dummy has no latch at all, so if the door needs to stay shut you want a passage or privacy function instead. Among lever options, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in passage and in privacy with the same 5048 rose, which keeps the trim appearance consistent if some doors in the run are dummy. On the commercial side, the Dexter C1000 Series passage lever is Grade 1 non-keyed with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, matching the 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range the Emtek Mercury dummy covers.

No. The Mercury is a dummy function, surface mounted with no door prep required, so it is a fixed pull only. Passage leversets such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever, or the Bravura Atlanta Grade 2 passage leverset all carry a latching mechanism and require a standard bore and latch prep in the door. If you are replacing hardware on a closet or pantry door that only needs a pull, the dummy is the direct answer; if the door has an existing bore and latch, a passage lever fills it.

It covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans standard interior residential slabs and the heavier 1-3/4 inch doors. Because it's a surface-mounted dummy with nothing passing through the door, thickness matters far less here than it would on a working latch.

Six rose styles are offered: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Any brass rosette in the line can be ordered with the Mercury lever, so if the other doors in the house already use a Square or Modern rose you can carry that shape straight across to the dummy openings.

That's the usual reason to buy it. The Mercury is a contemporary brass lever available across seven finishes and six rose shapes, so you can spec the dummy on the closet or French doors in the same finish and rosette you used on the passage and privacy openings and the trim reads identically down the hall.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim - both are plain dummy trim without the finish and rosette range the Emtek Mercury carries. The Mercury is solid brass and can be ordered with any brass rosette, across Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern, in seven finishes including Unlacquered Brass and Flat Black, which is what you give up going to the simpler dummy trims.

The Emtek Mercury dummy is non-keyed, so for a keyed opening consider the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever in entry function with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, the Deltana 6431 Linstead lever entry with the same range, or the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever, Grade 2, 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/8 inch backset. For a keyed commercial storeroom, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Mercury dummy pair is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the slab is thicker, the Deltana entry levers cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, including the 6411 Morant and the 6431 Linstead, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note those are latching functions rather than dummy trim, so the door will need the corresponding bore and latch prep.

Yes, both are ordered by hand. The Emtek Mercury dummy pair is specified Left Hand or Right Hand, and Baldwin lists the Estate 5103 half dummy as separate left hand and right hand part numbers. By contrast, the Falcon B101 passage lever is a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock uses non-handed levers, so those do not require you to determine the swing before ordering.

No - a dummy has no locking mechanism, so a bath or bedroom door needs a privacy function. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest residential match in style intent, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy option for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness window the Mercury dummy covers. Keep the Mercury dummy for closet, pantry, and inactive leaf doors where only a pull is needed.

The Emtek Mercury dummy pair is a mechanical non-electronic leverset. For keyless code access, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock has a passage function and covers 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835DC adds double combination on the same thickness range, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock if you want a powered keypad rather than a mechanical one.

Within the Emtek brass program the Mercury lever is available in other functions, and the dummy pair itself can be ordered with any brass rosette so the trim matches door to door. If you are mixing brands, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is the one family in the comparable set that offers dummy, passage, and privacy all on the same 5048 rose, which is the cleanest way to keep a single rose profile across a mixed-function run of doors.
