Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Smooth Lever - Dummy Set

No door prep is needed. The T-Bar Smooth dummy set is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door rather than dropping into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore like a functioning cylindrical lockset. That makes it the usual choice for a closet, pantry, or the inactive leaf of a French pair where nothing has to latch.

Yes. The T-Bar Smooth dummy set covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which takes in both the common older interior slab and standard commercial thickness.

Handing is an order choice: left hand (LH) or right hand (RH). A lever is not symmetrical, so pick the hand that points the lever toward the hinge-side of your swing. For a double door or French pair where you want both leaves to look mirrored, order one LH and one RH.

Yes, and that is the point of the SELECT program. The T-Bar Smooth lever pairs with any of seven brass rosettes: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, and Wilshire. Round rosettes like Disk or Quincy soften the look; Square, Modern Rectangular, and Urban Modern keep the contemporary lines of the smooth T-bar.

The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Smooth Lever dummy set is designated residential. For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is Grade 2 medium duty. The Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy is also a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lever dummy. All three are dummy function like the Emtek, so the door still gets a fixed pull with no latch.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is the nearest decorative counterpart, offered as a left hand version (5103-LDM) and a right hand version (5103-RDM) in dummy function, same as the Emtek T-Bar Smooth dummy, which is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH). Both are non-keyed levers on a rose for a door that needs a pull only. The Emtek set is brass and comes in seven rosette designs including Disk, Square and Wilshire, so the choice comes down to rosette style and finish rather than function.

A dummy set is non-keyed with no latching mechanism, so for a door that must stay shut you want a passage lever. Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a passage lever with the 5048 rose, which keeps the same decorative family as a 5103 half dummy. In commercial trim, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is Grade 2 passage, the Dexter C1000 passage lever is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty non-handed passage lever.

They are not interchangeable. The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Smooth Lever dummy set is surface mount with no door prep required, while levers like the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry and the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom are cylindrical locksets that need a bored hole and a latch pocket. If the door already has no bore, stay with a dummy such as the Emtek set or a single dummy trim like the BEST 7KC 1DT.

Seven finishes across the rosette and stem: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). These are standard Emtek SELECT brass finish codes, so a dummy set ordered in, say, US15 matches passage and privacy sets specified in the same code. Unlacquered brass is the one to think twice about: it has no clear coat and will patina with handling.

On the residential decorative side, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer, and like the Emtek it is ordered by hand, left (5103-LDM) or right (5103-RDM). The Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever if you want a plainer option. Neither offers the Emtek SELECT mix-and-match of lever, stem, and rosette.

A dummy is trim only. For a hall or closet door that latches but does not lock, you want a passage set; for a bed or bath, a privacy set with a thumbturn. Emtek builds the same T-Bar Smooth lever in those functions on the SELECT program, so you can keep the identical lever, stem, rosette, and finish and just change function. If you would rather cross brands, the Baldwin Estate 5103 comes as a passage or a privacy lever on the same 5048 rose.

No - the Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Smooth Lever dummy set is dummy function and non-keyed, so it does not lock. For a bed or bath door use a privacy lever: Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in privacy function with the 5048 rose in the same decorative line, and Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek dummy covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors as well, so it is often paired on the inactive leaf of the same opening.

The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Smooth Lever dummy set covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For heavier slabs, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Note these are latching cylindrical locks rather than dummy trim, so the door needs the corresponding prep.

The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Smooth Lever dummy set is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is likewise split into left hand and right hand part numbers. If you would rather stock one part for both swings, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers - both are latching passage locks, not dummy trim.

The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Smooth Lever dummy set is a contemporary brass lever available in Satin Brass (US4) along with Flat Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel and Unlacquered Brass. For a latching lever in a comparable satin brass, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass. Bravura also offers the Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and the Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage, if you want to match a round or square rosette shape.

T-Bar (TA) is the neck shape that carries the lever off the rosette, a straight bar meeting the rosette at a right angle rather than a curved or tapered neck. It is finished to match the rosette, and it is the only stem offered with the Smooth (SM) lever, so you specify rosette, finish, and hand and the stem follows.
