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

It ships as a complete set, sold as a pair: two Mariposa levers with matching sandcast bronze rosettes, one for each face of the door. There is no latch or cylinder because a dummy has no working mechanism, it is pull-only trim.

Yes, handing is an order choice. Left Hand and Right Hand are both offered, so pick the direction the lever should point from the side you face. On a pair of doors ordered as two dummy sets, most people mirror the handing so the levers point away from the meeting stile.

A dummy lever is fixed trim, it does not turn and there is no latchbolt, so the door stays shut by ball catch, roller catch or magnet. If the door needs to latch, order a passage function instead. Comparable residential-style passage levers include the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage with 5048 rose, or a Grade 2 Bravura Atlanta passage leverset.

The Mariposa Sandcast Bronze dummy is a residential lever. For a graded commercial dummy, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Accentra also offers the 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is the closest decorative residential equivalent. It is a dummy function lever like the Mariposa, but it is ordered as a single half dummy with handing designated in the part - BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand - whereas the Mariposa dummy is sold as a complete pair for both faces of the door, in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze.

The Mariposa Sandcast Bronze dummy is surface mount with no latch and no door prep, so it will not operate a door. For a latching residential lever in the same decorative vein, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in passage and privacy function with the 5048 rose. For a graded option, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever and the Dexter C1000 passage lever is Grade 1 with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range.

Five sandcast bronze rosette styles are offered: #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6. Any sandcast bronze rosette can be paired with the Mariposa lever, so you can carry one rosette shape through a whole house while changing lever designs room to room.

Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are available in either hand and with any of the rosette styles. If you want the lever in one finish and the rosette in another, there is a split finish field on the order to note it.

The Mariposa sandcast bronze dummy is configured as a pair, one lever and rosette per face, for doors you want trimmed on both sides. If you only need one side, a half dummy is the part to look for, such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, offered in left hand and right hand versions.

They share dummy function but differ in how they are supplied and finished. The Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, while the Mariposa is a residential sandcast bronze lever sold as a complete pair with a choice of #1 through #6 rosette and Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze finishes. Choose the Mariposa when the opening needs to match other sandcast bronze trim.

The Mariposa Sandcast Bronze dummy pair is rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker doors, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry 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. Note that those are latching functions rather than dummy trim.

Keyed and keypad levers are not interchangeable with it. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, the Master Lock RL01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock. All require door prep and a latch; the Mariposa dummy is non-keyed, non-electronic surface mount trim with no latch.

Sandcast bronze. Casting in sand leaves a slightly irregular surface and softened edges, which is why the finishes read as Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze rather than a plated look. It suits rustic and period interiors where machined hardware looks out of place.
