Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Smooth Lever - Dummy Set

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth lever in dummy function is trim only. There's no latch, no turn, no key, and it doesn't operate anything. It mounts to the door face and gives you something to pull on, which is why it's used on inactive doors of a pair, closet doors held by ball catches or roller catches, and french door slabs. If the door needs to latch, you want a passage set instead.

No door prep is needed. It is surface mounted, so it fastens to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore or edge bore. That makes it a clean retrofit on a slab that was never drilled, and it's why a dummy is the usual pick for closet and french doors.

Yes. The L-Square Smooth dummy set covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, which spans the common older interior slab at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4 inch door. Thicker than 1-3/4 and it's outside the stated range.

Handing sets which way the lever points. The L-Square Smooth dummy is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, so pick the hand that makes the lever sweep toward the door's latch edge the way the working levers on your other doors do. Get it backwards and the lever points the wrong direction, which is obvious across a room even though nothing mechanical is affected.

Yes. The L-Square Smooth lever can be ordered with any brass rosette, and the choices are Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire. That's how you keep a dummy on a closet visually identical to the passage and privacy sets down the hall.

The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Smooth lever dummy set is a residential brass lever with no door prep required. For a heavy duty commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 non-keyed cylindrical lever dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever from the 5400 Series. Both are dummy function like the Emtek, so they trim a door that does not latch.

A dummy set has no latch, so it cannot secure a fire rated opening. Where the door is rated, use a latching lever carrying a fire rating, such as the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.

One set per lever you want. Each Emtek L-Square Smooth dummy is sold as a complete set, and because handing is specified per order, a pair of doors usually means one Left Hand and one Right Hand so the levers mirror each other.

Seven, and the finish applies to both the rosette and the stem so they match: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than staying as shipped.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative equivalent, and it's ordered by hand as well, left hand or right hand. For a lower cost dummy in a builder-grade line, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever.

A dummy won't latch anything, so you need a passage or privacy set in the same design. In the comparable decorative lines, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a passage lever and as a privacy lever with the same 5048 rose, so you can run matching trim across a latching hall door, a bath door, and a dummy closet door.

No. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth set is dummy function, meaning fixed trim with no latch. Items like the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 and the Falcon B101 Grade 2 are passage/hall/closet function, which includes a working latch retracted by the lever. They look similar on the door but they are not interchangeable for a non-latching application such as a closet or a false door.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth dummy set is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand. Baldwin handles this the same way, with the Estate 5103 half dummy offered as separate left hand and right hand items. If you want to skip handing on the order, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 non-keyed dummy lever supplied as trim rather than as a handed pair.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth dummy set is non-keyed with no latch at all. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
