Emtek 5059US19.RAUS19.KN.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek SELECT R-Bar knurled dummy lever actually latch, or is it just a pull?
It's a dummy set, so there's no latch and no moving mechanism. The lever is fixed and acts as a pull or push handle. Use it on a closet door held by a ball catch or roller catch, on the inactive leaf of a French pair, or on a bi-fold. If you need the lever to retract a latch, you want a passage set instead, not this.
2) Do I have to bore the door for an Emtek dummy lever?
No boring needed. The SELECT R-Bar knurled dummy set is surface mount, so it screws to the door face with no cross-bore or edge prep. That makes it workable on a slab that's already hung, on a thin closet door, or where an existing bore would be in the wrong place.
3) Will the Emtek knurled lever dummy set work on a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which covers both the common interior slab at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 stock. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 is outside the range.
4) Do I need to order a left hand and a right hand dummy lever for a pair of French doors?
Yes, order one of each. The knurled R-Bar dummy comes in Left Hand (LH) and Right Hand (RH), and the lever points a fixed direction because it doesn't rotate. On a pair, the two leaves take opposite hands so the levers mirror each other. Get the hand wrong and the lever sweeps toward the hinge side.
5) Is the rosette included with the Emtek R-Bar dummy lever or do I buy it separately?
It ships as a complete set, lever and rosette together. You pick the brass rosette shape when you order: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, or Wilshire. Any of the brass rosettes can be paired with this lever, so you can match round trim on one opening and square on another without changing lever style.
6) Is the Emtek SELECT knurled lever rated for a commercial building or an apartment corridor?
It's a residential lever, and a non-keyed tubular one at that. For a leased corridor, a school, or anywhere you need a graded commercial dummy trim, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, which is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT at Grade 2 medium duty. Accentra's 455LN Augusta single dummy is another Grade 1 option. Keep the Emtek for units, model homes, and owner-occupied work where the look drives the choice.
7) I need the same knurled lever look but on a door that has to open and close. What do I order?
The dummy set won't work there, since it's fixed trim with no latch. For a door that latches but doesn't lock, you need a passage function. If you're matching decorative residential trim rather than the knurled Emtek specifically, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is a comparable residential-style passage set, and the same 5103 comes in privacy for a bath or bedroom. Baldwin also does the 5103 half dummy in both left and right hand if you need the fixed version on some openings and working sets on others.
8) The Emtek R-Bar Knurled lever dummy set does not latch - what should be ordered for a door that needs to stay closed?
A dummy set is fixed trim with no latch. For a hall or closet door that needs a latching lever with no lock, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose covers the same decorative territory, and commercial options include the Falcon K101, a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage/closet lever.
9) Is a passage leverset the same thing as a dummy leverset?
No. A dummy set is fixed trim, while a passage set has a working latch retracted by the lever. Products such as the Bravura Atlanta with round trim passage leverset and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors are passage function and will bore and latch into the door; the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled dummy set is surface mount with no door prep required.
10) Which lever sets carry a fire rating for a rated door assembly?
The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage/closet is a Grade 1 fire-rated vandal resistant lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock with Tudor knob is fire rated at Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
11) What do I have to specify when ordering an Emtek SELECT knurled lever dummy set?
Four things: finish, rosette, handing, and that you want the dummy function. Finish runs Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Rosette is one of seven brass shapes. Handing is left or right. The lever is the knurled R-Bar, so the handle and stem are fixed at KN and RA.
12) Can I match an Emtek knurled dummy lever to unlacquered brass hardware that patinas?
Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is one of the seven finishes, and it's the one that will darken and patina over time rather than hold its shine. If you want a stable finish next to it, Satin Brass (US4) and Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14) are the fixed-appearance brass-tone options. The lever body itself is solid brass in every finish.
13) Can the Emtek knurled dummy lever be keyed or added to my master key system?
No. It's non-keyed and has no cylinder at all, because a dummy set is fixed trim with nothing to lock. There's no way to bring it into a keying system. If an opening in the same run needs to key, that opening takes a different lockset entirely.
14) Will the knurled R-Bar lever match other Emtek SELECT hardware on the rest of the house?
It's built on the SELECT Series, which is Emtek's mix-and-match system: the same knurled lever and R-Bar stem carry across the line, and the rosette is a separate choice, so the dummy on a closet can carry the identical lever and trim as the working sets on the bedrooms. Pick the same finish and rosette shape across openings and the fixed and functioning doors read as one set.
15) What is a medium-duty alternative to a Grade 1 dummy lever trim?
The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical lever dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Both deliver dummy function at Grade 2 rather than the Grade 1 heavy duty rating of the BEST 9K Series 1DT.
16) What should be used on a bedroom or bathroom door instead of a dummy lever?
A dummy lever has no locking mechanism. For bed and bath privacy, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose keeps the same decorative lever family, 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 R-Bar Knurled dummy set fits.
17) What keyed lever should be ordered for an office or entry door where a dummy set will not work?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled dummy set is non-keyed. For a keyed opening, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office is a Grade 1 clutching keyed cylindrical lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock with lever handle.
18) What lever option is there for a door that needs code access rather than a key or a dummy trim?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled dummy set is non-electronic and non-keyed. For keyless access, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
19) What lever is rated for an institutional opening where a residential brass dummy set would not be specified?
For institutional and utility doors, the Dexter C1000 Series asylum (F87) is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty Grade 2 asylum cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. For classroom openings, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom is Grade 1 clutching and keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
20) What is a non-handed passage lever for a job where handing cannot be confirmed before ordering?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled dummy set is ordered as left hand or right hand. Where handing is unknown, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed passage equivalent.
21) What decorative lever is available in a satin brass finish to match a brass dummy set?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled dummy set is offered in Satin Brass (US4) along with Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14). The Bravura Miramar with round trim passage leverset is a Grade 2 passage lever supplied in US4 satin brass, which pairs with the Emtek satin brass dummy trim on adjacent doors.
22) What storeroom lever should be specified for a supply or utility room?
The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
23) Will a lever trim for an exit device work in place of a cylindrical dummy lever set?
No. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device in the CL3300 lock series, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with entry function in the ED-500 Series. Both mount to an exit device chassis rather than to a bored door like the surface-mounted Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled dummy set.
24) Is the Emtek SELECT knurled lever a smart or electronic lock?
It's fully mechanical trim, no electronics, no battery, no keypad. If a keyless coded lever is what the job callsls for, the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock is a Grade 2 electronic option, and Lockey's 2835 and 1150 are mechanical pushbutton keypad lever sets. None of those match the knurled brass look, so on a decorative run people typically put the coded lock on the one opening that needs it.
25) What is the knurled finish on this Emtek lever actually like to grip?
Knurling is the cross-hatched texture machined into the lever bar itself, not a coating. On the R-Bar it gives a grippy, tool-handle feel and a contemporary look. Since this is a dummy, that texture is doing the work every time someone pulls the door, so it holds up better to hand contact than a smooth polished bar on the same duty.
26) What is a lower-cost residential passage lever alternative to a decorative brass leverset?
The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Both are Grade 3 residential-duty passage sets rather than the Grade 2 and Grade 1 commercial bodies.
