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

No boring needed. The Montrose sandcast bronze dummy lever is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch prep. That makes it the usual choice for a false door in a double set, a closet door held by a ball catch or roller catch, or a pantry door where the stop does the work and there is no latching mechanism at all.

Yes, handing has to be called out. The Montrose is offered in Left Hand (LH) and Right Hand (RH), and since a dummy lever is fixed and cannot be flipped in the field, the wrong hand points the lever the wrong way. Stand outside the door: the hinge side tells you the hand. On a pair of doors you will normally want one of each.

It ships as a complete set with two levers, one for each face of the door, plus the rosettes in the style you pick. Nothing latches and nothing locks, so there is no latch, strike or cylinder in the box and none to order. If you only need a lever on one side, a single dummy is the part to look for instead, such as the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim.

A dummy lever like the Montrose has no latch and no moving mechanism, so it will not hold a door closed. For a door that needs to latch but not lock, order a passage function set. Comparable options include the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose, or the Bravura Atlanta round trim passage leverset. For a bath or bedroom that needs a thumbturn, the Baldwin 5103 is also made in a privacy function.

Yes. The Emtek Montrose dummy is a residential sandcast bronze lever. For a graded commercial dummy, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. The Accentra 455LN Augusta from the 5400 Series is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. All three are single dummy trim, so a pair of doors takes two units, where the Montrose ships as a pair.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is the nearest decorative equivalent, also a dummy function lever. The difference is quantity and handing: the Emtek Montrose is sold as a complete pair with a left hand or right hand option, while Baldwin splits the 5103 into separate left hand (5103-LDM) and right hand (5103-RDM) half dummy items, so a double door needs two Baldwin orders. The Emtek Montrose is sandcast bronze and can be ordered with any of the #1 through #6 sandcast bronze rosettes.

The Emtek Montrose dummy pair is a non-keyed dummy that surface mounts with no door prep and no latch, so it cannot operate a door that needs to stay closed. For a working latch in the same Baldwin Estate 5103 lever design, the 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose gives hall and closet function, and the 5103 privacy lever with the same rose adds a bed and bath lock. In a commercial-style lever, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock and the Dexter C1000 passage is Grade 1.

Five sandcast bronze rosettes are offered with the Montrose lever: #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6. Pick the one that matches the rest of the Emtek sandcast bronze hardware on the job so the dummy doors read the same as the working doors. The lever can be ordered with any of the Sandcast Bronze rosettes.

Three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). A split finish can be requested when you order, which is how you match a dark hallway side to a lighter room side on the same door. Sandcast bronze is a living finish, so expect some variation piece to piece.

The Montrose is cast bronze, which gives it the heavier texture and irregular surface that suits a rustic or lodge interior, and it is sold as a pair for both faces of a door. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is a half dummy, meaning one lever for one side only, and it is handed left or right as separate items. Choose on whether you need one face or two, and on which finish family the rest of the house is running.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and is the plainer option when the opening does not call for a sandcast bronze decorative lever. The Emtek Montrose is bronze material with a choice of Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze and six rosette styles, which is what you give up moving to the Bentley.

It will work but it is a different install. The Montrose dummy pair is surface mount with no door prep and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so it is a pull only for doors held by a ball catch or roller catch. A passage lever such as the Hager 2510 Grade 2, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, or the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, carries a latch and requires bored door prep.

Several levers in the same family will not do the job. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is lever trim for an ED8000 pushpad exit device, not a standalone lever. The Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is escutcheon lever trim in entry function for an exit device. The Lockey 2835 and 1150 are mechanical keypad lever locks, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, all of which do far more than the non-keyed, non-electronic Montrose dummy. The Codelocks CL410 and CL415 tubular latchbolt is a latch component only.

The Emtek Montrose sandcast bronze dummy is a residential lever with dummy function, meaning no latch and no cycle-rated mechanism. For heavy traffic openings, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock that is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant fire rated passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Use the Montrose where the leaf is inactive or decorative.

The Emtek Montrose sandcast bronze dummy pair covers the inactive and decorative openings and can be ordered with any sandcast bronze rosette in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze. If you want one decorative lever design carried across every function, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is offered in passage, privacy, and half dummy. Deltana offers entry function decorative levers such as the 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead, both for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

Only where the lever does not need to sit flush or pass through a pocket. It surface mounts on the door face and projects out like any standard lever, so it works fine on a swinging false door or a fixed leaf, but it will foul the jamb or wall on a pocket door and it does not operate a sliding door latch. For those, a flush or recessed pull is the right part.
