Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Knurled Lever - Dummy Set

No door prep at all. The L-Square Knurled dummy set is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch bore. That is what makes it the usual pick for a closet door, a pantry door, a French door slab that is held by a roller catch, or the inactive leaf of a pair. There is no latch and no spindle turning anything, the lever is fixed trim.

Yes, handing is a required choice. The L-Square Knurled dummy is offered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and unlike a non-handed commercial lever it is not field reversible. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand lever, hinges on the right is right hand. Order one per leaf, so a pair of doors with dummies on both takes one LH and one RH if you want the levers to mirror.

It will not. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch and no moving mechanism, so the door needs a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch to stay closed. If you want the lever to actually retract a latch on a hall or closet door, you want a passage function instead, such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose on the decorative side, or a Bravura Tampa passage leverset with square trim for a Grade 2 option. If the door is a bedroom or bath and needs a thumbturn, that is a privacy set, like the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy.

Not reliably. Because the dummy is surface mount with no door prep, its rosette is only as wide as the rosette you pick, and it does not carry a spindle or latch to fill an existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Coming off a working lever means you are covering a bore, and whether the Disk, Square, Watford or any other rosette in the line hides it depends on the bore and the rose diameter. If the door already has a full lockset prep, a functioning dummy trim built for a bored door, like the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim, is the cleaner swap.

The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Knurled dummy set is a residential-classified brass lever with no latch mechanism. For the same non-latching pull function in a commercial-duty product, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock. Both give you a fixed lever on the door face the way the Emtek does, with an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating behind it for corridors, dormitories, and other institutional traffic.

A dummy set has no latch and no bore hardware, so it will not hold a door shut. When the door needs to latch but not lock, order a passage lever: the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the decorative-line answer, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with non-handed levers and a fire rating, and the Hager 2510 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 passage lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Keep the dummy set for the inactive leaf of a pair or a closet door that holds shut on a ball catch.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled dummy set is non-keyed with no locking mechanism, so it cannot secure a bedroom or bath. For a privacy function in the same lever format, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is the decorative match, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the same door thickness range the Emtek dummy set covers.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled dummy set is rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so a full 2 inch door falls outside it. Peers that reach 2 inches include the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch if the door is on the thicker end.

The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Knurled dummy set is a residential-classified decorative lever. When a submittal calls for a graded cylindrical lever, the graded peers in the dummy and passage functions are the BEST 9K Series 1DT at Grade 1 heavy duty, the Design Hardware X75 passage lever at Grade 1, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever at Grade 1 with a fire rating, and the BEST 7KC 1DT at Grade 2 medium duty. Match the grade line on the drawing to one of those and use the Emtek where the finish drives the selection.

Sold as a complete set, with the lever, stem and rosette together as one order. Pick the handing and the rosette style and the matching parts ship as a unit, so you are not sourcing a rose separately to finish the door.

Seven rosette shapes pair with the Knurled lever on an L-Square stem: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire. That is how you match a dummy to the working locksets already hung elsewhere in the house, choose the same rosette and finish that is on your passage and privacy sets and the closet door reads as part of the same suite.

Non-keyed, with no cylinder and no keyway. There is nothing to key it into an existing system. If you need the same knurled look on a door that locks, order the keyed or privacy function in the SELECT line rather than trying to add a cylinder to this one.

The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Knurled dummy set is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so the lever throw has to be called out at order time. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is sold the same way, as a distinct left hand part and a distinct right hand part with the 5048 rose. If you would rather not track handing per opening, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lever with non-handed levers, though both of those are latching passage sets rather than dummies.

No. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled dummy set is a surface mounted lever pair requiring no door prep, mounted on a brass rosette. Exit device and escutcheon trims look similar in a photo but drive a separate device: the Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device on 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with an entry function. Those mount to an exit device chassis, not to a bare door, so they do not substitute for a dummy set.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled dummy set is solid brass in the SELECT Series. If you are fitting out closets across a rental portfolio and do not need the brass finish range, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy - both give the same fixed-lever pull without the decorative brass construction.

Knurled means the lever is cross hatched rather than smooth, which gives a positive grip with wet or gloved hands and hides fingerprints better than a polished smooth lever. It is solid brass on a contemporary L-Square stem. That said, it is a residential product with no commercial duty rating, so for apartment turns or heavy corridor use where a graded lever is specified, a heavy duty commercial dummy such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the one that carries a Grade 1 rating.

Purely mechanical trim, no electronics, no power, no wiring. If the opening needs keyless entry on a lever, that is a different product entirely, such as the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock, which fits doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches, or the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled dummy set is non-electronic and non-keyed, so it will not carry a code entry. For the openings that need keyless access on the same lever format, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance covering 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Run those on the doors that need a code and the Emtek Knurled dummy on the inactive and closet leaves.
