Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered Key In Lever - Dummy (Pair)

No door prep needed. The dummy pair is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door rather than dropping into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. That makes it the easy retrofit on a slab that was never drilled, and it's why it works on doors too thin or too narrow for a bored lockset.

Because the lever has to point the right way once it's on the door. Handing is required on this set and it's ordered as either Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH). Stand outside the door, on the side it swings away from: if the hinges are on your left it's left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. Get it backwards and the lever points toward the hinge instead of the strike edge. On a dummy pair going on the inactive leaf of a double door, hand it to match the active leaf so the two levers mirror.

It's built as residential hardware, not a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial lock, and it's surface-mounted trim with no latch. For a commercial opening that needs a rated dummy, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical dummy, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT if Grade 2 medium duty suits the traffic. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. Those are single dummies though, one lever, where the Emtek is sold as a pair for both faces.

No cylinder and no key. The Key In L-Square (KLS) name describes the stem's shape, the same profile used on the keyed sets, so the dummy visually matches a keyed entry lever on an adjacent door. Functionally it's non-keyed dummy trim. If you need the door keyed, this is the wrong function; you'd want a keyed entry or storeroom lockset.

A dummy set has no latch at all; the Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered pair is dummy function and surface mounts with no door prep. For a latching interior door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever with 5048 rose is offered in a passage version, which is the same trim in a latching form. Commercial passage options include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

A dummy pair cannot lock, so a privacy set is the right part for a bathroom or bedroom. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever uses the same 5048 rose as the Baldwin 5103 dummy and passage versions, which keeps the trim consistent down a hallway. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered set covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, with 1-3/4 inch as the standard. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead entry levers each cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note those are latching or entry sets rather than dummies.

Three rosettes: Square, Disk, and Modern Rectangular. That's the choice that decides whether the trim reads as square, round, or a tall rectangle on the door face, and it's the one to match against the passage and privacy sets already hung elsewhere in the house. The lever itself is the Hammered (HA) design on the Key In L-Square (KLS) stem, so the stem and handle are fixed and the rosette is the styling decision you're making.

Eight finishes: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Split finish is available as an option on the order, which is how you run, say, Flat Black on a hall side and Satin Brass on the room side of the same opening. Note Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will patina; the Lifetime Polished Nickel will not.

It's built on the SELECT Series, so the Hammered lever, the KLS stem and the three rosettes pull from the same component system Emtek uses across its passage, privacy and keyed SELECT sets. Order the same rosette shape and the same finish code and the dummy on the closet will read identically to the working levers down the hall. The finish codes are the thing to match exactly, US15 Satin Nickel and US26 Polished Chrome look close in a photo and do not look close side by side on a door.

Yes, but you have to say so. The set ships for a standard 1-3/4 inch door, and there's a Door Thickness field on the order to call out anything thicker so the right length fasteners come with it. Skip that and the screws won't reach on a 2-1/4 slab.

A passage lever has a working latch: the lever retracts a latchbolt into a strike, so the door stays shut on its own with no key and no lock. A dummy is fixed trim with no latch at all, so the door needs a catch or a magnet to hold it closed. For a reach-in closet on a ball catch, dummy trim is the correct and cheaper answer. For a pantry you want to stay shut on its own, go passage, for example the Bravura Miramar or Atlanta Grade 2 passage leversets, or the Callan Asheville Grade 3.

Don't count on it. The dummy is surface mount trim with no door prep, which means it isn't built to fill an existing cross bore, and the rosette footprint varies between the Disk, Square and Modern Rectangular options. On a door that's already bored for a cylindrical lock, a bored dummy trim that uses that hole is the cleaner swap, for example the BEST 7KC 1DT or the Accentra 455LN Augusta, or a Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy if you want residential styling.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered set is ordered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and handing is required for the leverset. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is likewise ordered by hand, as a left hand or a right hand part with the 5048 rose. The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim and the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy are both single dummy trim rather than handed pairs, which is a simpler order line when a fleet of doors runs both directions.

No - the Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered set is not electronic and is not keyed, so it cannot control access. For code entry on the same leaf, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is passage function and ADA compliant for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set is passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.

Yes. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Both are dummy function like the Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered set, so they behave the same way on the door - a fixed pull with no latch - while the Emtek is a brass set offered in eight finishes including Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Flat Black (US19) with a choice of Square, Disk, or Modern Rectangular rosette.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered pair is dummy function and will not secure an opening. For a storeroom door, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a classroom, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is Grade 1 keyed with clutching for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is Grade 2 with a Schlage C keyway and 2-3/4 inch backset.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered set is a brass, contemporary style lever in the SELECT Series, ordered with a Square, Disk, or Modern Rectangular rosette and finishes including Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), and French Antique (US7). On the decorative side, the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever with 5048 rose is offered in dummy, passage, and privacy so one trim design can run a whole floor, and the Deltana Claremont, Manchester, Morant, and Linstead levers are entry function series. Bravura offers the Miramar with round trim in US4 Satin Brass, plus Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Hammered set is classed residential. On commercial corridor traffic, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever in the T Series with pressure release technology, the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors in the X Series, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Where the fixed-leaf trim itself must be commercial, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy.

Brass, both as the material and the substrate, so the lever and rosette are brass through rather than a plated cast zinc body. That matters for the living finishes in particular: Unlacquered Brass and French Antique wear into the base metal rather than off it.
