Emtek 5059US19.LSUS19.SK.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek dummy lever require drilling a bore hole in the door?
No door prep is needed. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled dummy set is surface mounted, so it fastens to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore or latch bore. That is what makes it the choice for a closet door, a false door leaf, or the inactive half of a French pair where there is nothing to latch.
2) Do I need to order left hand or right hand on an Emtek dummy lever?
Yes, handing has to be specified. The dummy set is offered in Left Hand (LH) and Right Hand (RH), and because the lever is fixed it cannot be flipped after the fact. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand. For a French pair you generally order one of each so both levers point away from the meeting stile.
3) What is the difference between a dummy lever and a passage lever?
A dummy is a pull only. There is no latch, no spindle through the door, and the lever does not turn, so it will not hold a door closed. A passage set has a working latchbolt and retracts when you push the lever. If the door needs to stay shut, order a passage function such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage lever or the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage set instead of this Emtek dummy.
4) Is this Emtek dummy set rated for commercial use?
It is a residential product. The SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled dummy is solid brass with a contemporary profile aimed at homes and finished interiors. For commercial corridors or an institutional spec, use a Grade 1 dummy trim such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT or the Accentra 455LN Augusta, or the Grade 2 BEST 7KC Series 1DT for medium duty openings.
5) For a 2 inch thick door, what lever works where the Emtek dummy set does not?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Straight Knurled dummy set covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker doors, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
6) What should I use instead of a dummy lever if the door actually has to latch?
A dummy set is non-latching trim, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet door, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is a decorative passage option. For bed and bath, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose carries a privacy function.
7) Will a dummy lever work on a door that needs keyed entry?
No. The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Straight Knurled dummy set is non-keyed. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with lever handle, and the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is a keyed Grade 1 clutching lever.
8) Which rosettes can I get with the Emtek Straight Knurled lever?
Seven brass rosettes pair with the Straight Knurled lever on an L-Square stem: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire. That lets you match the dummy to the passage and privacy sets already on adjacent doors, which is usually the point of buying a dummy at all.
9) What finishes does the Emtek SELECT brass knurled dummy lever come in?
Rosette and stem are offered in Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass is a living finish and will patina with handling, so avoid it if you are trying to keep a fleet of doors looking uniform.
10) Is the Emtek dummy lever keyed, and can it be keyed later?
It is non-keyed and there is no cylinder in it. A dummy has no latch or lock mechanism to key, so if the opening needs security you want a keyed entrance or storeroom function instead, not this set with a cylinder added.
11) Do I get both levers, or just one side, with the Emtek dummy set?
It ships as a complete set, so you are not buying rosette and lever separately. If you only need a pull on one face of the door, that is what a half dummy does, and comparable half dummies include the Baldwin Estate 5103 in left hand and right hand versions.
12) I need a simple dummy pull for an interior closet door on a budget build. What are my options besides the Emtek?
The Emtek SELECT Straight Knurled is solid brass with a designer rosette and a knurled contemporary lever, which is why it gets specified on finished interiors. For plain builder work the Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with the 5048 rose is the traditional alternative if the rest of the house is Baldwin.
13) Is there another decorative half dummy lever that is ordered by hand like the Emtek L-Square Straight Knurled?
Yes. The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Straight Knurled dummy set is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH). The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is likewise offered as a left hand version and a separate right hand version, so the hand is chosen at order time on both.
14) Is the Emtek Straight Knurled dummy lever an equivalent to the BEST 9K 1DT dummy trim for an institutional corridor?
They fill the same non-latching role but are built for different settings. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy trim, which is the choice where a duty rating is specified. The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Straight Knurled dummy is a residential brass set with decorative rosette and finish choices. For a medium duty commercial alternative, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is Grade 2.
15) Does a passage lever like the Falcon B101 substitute for the Emtek Straight Knurled dummy lever?
Not directly. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, meaning it operates a latch and is not hand-specific. The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Straight Knurled set is a dummy that is surface mounted with no door prep required and is ordered left or right hand. Swapping one for the other changes both the door prep and the function.
16) If I need keyless code entry rather than a dummy lever, what are the options?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Straight Knurled set is non-electronic and non-keyed dummy trim. For code entry, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
17) What contemporary square-rose lever alternatives are there to the Emtek Straight Knurled dummy?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled dummy is a contemporary brass set that can be paired with a Square, Modern Rectangular or Urban Modern rosette. For a square-trim latching lever, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim; round-trim contemporary options include the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando Grade 2 passage leversets.
