Emtek Sandcast Bronze Leversets - Cody Lever, Dummy (Pair)

A dummy set is a fixed pull, nothing more. The Emtek Cody Sandcast Bronze dummy pair has no latch, no spring return and no turn, so the levers are rigid on both faces of the door. That is what you want on inactive French doors, a ball-catch or roller-catch door, or a closet door that already has its own catch. If the door needs to latch shut when you pull it, a dummy is the wrong function and you need a passage lever instead.

No boring needed. The Cody dummy pair is surface mounted, so there's no cross bore or latch bore to cut, which makes it a common retrofit on doors that were never prepped for hardware. It fits doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, covering both the standard 1-3/4 inch door and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior door found in older homes.

Even without a latch, the lever has to point the correct way, so the Cody dummy pair is ordered left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door, on the side it swings away from: hinges on your left is left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. On a pair of doors each leaf usually takes the opposite hand so the levers mirror each other. Ordering the wrong hand gets you a lever that curves toward the hinge instead of away from it.

It's a residential product, not rated for commercial duty, and it has no latch at all, so it should not go on any door in a corridor or an egress path. For a commercial opening that needs a dummy lever, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty option and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is Grade 2 medium duty. If the door has to latch, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage lever or the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever are the commercial answers.

No. The Cody dummy pair is non-keyed and has no privacy turn or pushbutton, so there is nothing to lock. For a bathroom or bedroom you need a privacy function lever, such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose or the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lever with the Withnell design, which fits doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick.

The Emtek Cody dummy is sold as a complete set with a lever on each face of the door. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is a single-side dummy lever and is handed as a separate part number: BAL-5103-LDM is the left hand half dummy and BAL-5103-RDM is the right hand. Order the pair for double doors or a door that is pulled from both sides; order a half dummy where only one face is reachable, such as a closet door held by a ball catch.

For a dummy lever on a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy cylindrical lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. The Emtek Cody dummy is a residential sandcast bronze lever pair with a tubular lock type and no keying. The BEST units are single dummy trim, so an opening that needs a lever on both faces takes two of them, while the Cody dummy is supplied as a complete pair.

A dummy lever has no latch at all; the Emtek Cody dummy is surface mount with no door prep required. If the door has to stay closed, move to a passage function: the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is a decorative residential option, and the Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset. For bed and bath, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose adds a privacy function on the same 5103 trim.

Five rosette designs, numbered #1 through #6 (the #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6), so the trim plate can be matched to whatever Emtek sandcast bronze hardware is already on the other doors. Any sandcast bronze rosette can be ordered with the Cody lever, which is how a fleet of doors ends up with one rosette shape across knobs, levers and dummies.

Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are available in either hand and with any of the rosettes offered. A split finish can be specified at order time if you want one face of the door to differ from the other, which comes up when a room reads one way inside and another way in the hall.

Match on three things: the finish code, the rosette number and the lever design. The Cody lever in Flat Black Bronze with a #2 rosette on a closet door will read identically to a Cody passage or privacy lever in the same finish and rosette elsewhere in the house. Because Emtek builds the sandcast bronze rosettes across the collection, the dummy trim lines up with the rest of the openings rather than being a near miss.

No. A passage lever turns and retracts a latch; a dummy lever is fixed and the Emtek Cody dummy mounts to the surface with no door prep. Products such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage lever are all latching passage locks and are not drop-in stand-ins for a dummy. If the door already has a latch or a magnetic catch and you only need the pull, the dummy is the correct part.

The Emtek Cody dummy covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a thicker leaf, the Dexter C1000 Series covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, though both are latching functions rather than dummy trim. Where the door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch and a fixed pull is still wanted, a single dummy trim such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the dummy-function route.

No. The Emtek Cody dummy is non-keyed and non-electronic with a dummy function, so it secures nothing. Where access control is required, keyed and keyless lever options include the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 entry/office lever, and the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function. Those are separate locks, not trim that mates to the Cody.

Sandcast solid bronze is the substrate, cast rather than stamped, which is why each piece carries the slight surface irregularity of the casting. That matters on a rustic or lodge interior where a machined commercial lever would look wrong. Bronze is a living finish material, so the flat black, medium and tumbled white bronze surfaces darken and highlight with handling over time rather than staying uniform.

Purely mechanical. No power, no access control, no keypad. If the opening calls for keyless entry on a lever, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever handles doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches thick with no wiring, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
