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

It covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, with 1-3/4 inch treated as standard. That takes in both the usual 1-3/4 inch door and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older homes. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches has to be called out on the order, and there's a Door Thickness field for exactly that.

No door prep is needed. The SELECT knurled dummy pair is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door rather than dropping into a bored cross-bore and latch bore. That's what makes it the choice for a closet door, a false door, or the inactive leaf of a double door, where there's no latch to operate and no existing prep to work with.

It doesn't. A dummy is a fixed pull, it doesn't turn and there's no latch behind it, so the door has to be held shut by a roller catch, a ball catch, or a magnetic catch you buy separately. If you want a lever that retracts a latch but doesn't lock, that's a passage set. If you want it keyed, that's an entry set. Same knurled L-Square lever design carries across those functions in the SELECT line.

It's a residential product, brass, and the SELECT line is styled for homes rather than for a commercial opening cycle count. For an office, school, or multi-family corridor door where you need a commercial dummy trim, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy lever trim, which is Grade 1 heavy duty, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT, which is Grade 2 medium duty. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever.

A pair gives you a lever on each face of the door. A single, or half dummy, is one lever on one face only. Use the pair on a door you push and pull from both sides, like a closet or the inactive leaf of a double door, and use a half dummy where only one side is ever touched. If you want a half dummy instead, the Baldwin Estate 5103 comes as a left hand half dummy and a right hand half dummy on a 5048 rose, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is a decorative dummy lever offered in a left hand version (5103 LDM) and a right hand version (5103 RDM). Like the Emtek SELECT L-Square knurled dummy, handing must be specified. The Baldwin is ordered as a half dummy per side, while the Emtek SELECT knurled dummy is supplied as a pair for both faces.

A dummy lever such as the Emtek SELECT L-Square knurled dummy pair has no latch and no keyed cylinder, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching residential lever with the same Baldwin Estate 5103 trim, the 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose latches without locking, and the 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose adds a bed and bath privacy lock. For a keyed entry lever, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

A passage leverset is not a dummy. Passage sets such as the Bravura Atlanta round trim passage leverset, the Bravura Tampa square trim passage leverset, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage lever all include a working latch that retracts when the lever is turned, so they need a bored door and latch prep. The Emtek SELECT L-Square knurled dummy pair is surface mount and requires no door prep, which makes it the choice for an inactive door leaf or a closet slab that stays shut on a catch.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square knurled key-in lever set is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker slab, the Deltana 6411 Morant lever entry and the Deltana 6431 Linstead lever entry both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

Yes. Split finish is available as an order option on the SELECT knurled dummy pair, so you can run one finish on the exterior face and another on the interior. It's a common ask on a front entry where the outside is matched to the exterior hardware and the inside is matched to the room. Call out both finishes when you order.

The rosette is what does the matching. If the working doors in the house already carry an Emtek SELECT lever on a Square, Disk, or Modern Rectangular rosette, order the dummy on the same rosette and the same finish and it reads as one set across the openings. The knurled L-Square lever is a specific grip texture, so match that too if the goal is a continuous look down a hallway.

The SELECT knurled L-Square lever is offered as a single cylinder keyed entry as well, tubular lock type, in the same eight finishes and three rosettes. Order the entry function for the door that actually locks, and use the dummy pair on the closet or inactive leaf beside it so the whole run matches. Keep the rosette and finish identical across both.

The Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, so it serves the same non-latching pull function. The differences are in trim and ordering: the Emtek SELECT L-Square knurled dummy is a brass lever in a contemporary style with eight finishes including Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and is handed left or right.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square knurled key-in lever dummy pair is offered with a Square rosette as well as Disk and Modern Rectangular. Among other lines carrying square trim, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 flat lever passage lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are latching passage sets, so they cover the doors that need to hold shut while the Emtek dummy covers the inactive leaves.

Handing is required for the Emtek SELECT L-Square knurled lever, which must be ordered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH). Where a non-handed lever simplifies stocking, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are latching passage sets rather than dummies.

Keyless mechanical levers serve a different purpose. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock has a passage function and fits doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set is a double combination passage set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. Those control who gets through the door. The Emtek SELECT L-Square knurled dummy is non-electronic and provides a fixed pull only.

54 orderable combinations, built from eight finishes, three rosette shapes, and two hands. The lever style and stem are fixed at Knurled and Key In L-Square. Pin down the hand first, then the rosette to match your other doors, then the finish.
