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

No boring needed. The Sion dummy pair is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no cross bore and no latch prep. That makes it the usual choice for a closet door, a false door on a pair, or the inactive leaf of a double door where you only want something to pull on.

1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. That covers the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4 leaf, so most residential interior and entry-weight doors are in range.

Handing on the Sion sets which way the lever points, not how a latch works. There is no latch in a dummy. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, on the right it is right hand, and you order so the lever sweeps down toward the opening edge. Both LH and RH are offered.

Yes, if those doors are Emtek. The Sion dummy takes any brass rosette in the line, and six shapes are offered: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square and Urban Modern. Pick the same rosette and the same finish as your passage and privacy sets and the closet or false door reads identically to the rest.

Wrong part, yes. A dummy is trim only, it does not turn and there is no latchbolt, so nothing holds the door closed. If you want a latching non locking door, order a passage set instead, and a privacy set if it needs a bed or bath push button. Emtek offers the Sion lever in those functions; on the commercial side the Falcon B101 and Accentra 5301LN Augusta are passage levers.

The Emtek Sion dummy lever pair is a residential brass leverset with a dummy function, surface mounted with no door prep required. For a commercial opening where an ANSI grade is required, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Both of those are single dummy trim, so a pair of doors needs two, while the Sion is sold as a complete pair for one set of double doors.

A dummy lever has no latch at all - it is a pull only. If the door needs to latch and close, a passage function lever is the substitution: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical lever in the 5300 Series, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. A passage lever needs a bored door prep, which the surface mount dummy does not.

No. The Sion lever pair is non-keyed with a dummy function and has no locking mechanism. For a bed or bath door, a privacy function lever is the correct part: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick at Grade 3, or the Hager 2540 with Withnell lever at Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

The Emtek Sion dummy pair covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a 2 inch door, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with Withnell design covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function Grade 1 lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummies.

Seven: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass is the one to know about, it has no clear coat and will patina with handling, so it will not stay matched to a lacquered piece next to it.

They share the dummy function but not the quantity. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with 5048 rose is handed and sold one side at a time - BAL-5103-LDM is the left hand and BAL-5103-RDM is the right hand. The Emtek Sion dummy is sold as a complete set covering both sides, and handing is chosen as left hand or right hand when ordering. For a single door needing a pull on one face only, the Baldwin half dummy is the one-sided part.

The Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset offered in US4 satin brass, and the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa are Grade 2 passage leversets with round or square trim. All of those operate a latch. The Emtek Sion is a dummy - it does not retract anything - and it is offered in satin brass US4 along with flat black US19, oil rubbed bronze US10B, polished chrome US26, polished nickel US14, satin nickel US15 and unlacquered brass US3NL, with a choice of six rosettes.

The Emtek Sion is a contemporary brass dummy lever ordered by finish and rosette. Where a building wants one repeatable passage lever instead, the Callan Asheville AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 flat lever passage lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. Each of those latches, so they suit an operating door rather than a fixed pull.

The Emtek Sion dummy pair is non-keyed. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three require a bored door prep the surface mount dummy does not.

They are separate families with separate trim. The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the 5048 rose, and the Baldwin 5103 line also runs privacy and half dummy on that same rose, so a run of Baldwin doors matches within itself. The Emtek Sion dummy takes any brass rosette from the Emtek range - disk, modern, modern rectangular, neos, square or urban modern - so a matched set of adjacent doors should stay within one brand's trim rather than mixing the two.

Yes. The Sion set has an optional split finish field on the order, so you can call out a different finish for the lever and the rosette. Write both out plainly, for example Flat Black lever with Satin Brass rosette.

They solve different problems. The Emtek Sion dummy is non-electronic and non-keyed with no latch. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock has a passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those control who passes through an opening; a dummy pair is a fixed pull on a door that does not latch.

It is catalogued as tubular, non-keyed, non-electronic. For a dummy that only tells you it belongs to the same bored lever family as the working Sion sets, so the rosette and lever look identical across the run. There is no cylinder and no key on this one.
