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

No prep. The SELECT L-Square dummy pair is surface mount, so it screws onto the face of the door with no cross bore and no latch bore. That is what makes a dummy pair the usual pick for a closet, pantry, or an inactive leaf of a double door where there is nothing to latch, and it also means you can add one to a slab that has never been drilled.

Handing is required. The L-Square dummy is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, and because it is sold as a pair you get two levers that read correctly on both faces of the door. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way once it is mounted, since a dummy lever cannot be flipped in the field the way a non-handed passage lever can.

It does not. The L-Square Key In stem carries the keyed lever's appearance, including the cylinder face, but the dummy version has no latch and no working cylinder. It is there so a closet or an inactive door matches the keyed entry sets elsewhere in the same run. If you need the door to actually lock, order the entry function version of the same lever instead.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square dummy is a brass, residential-rated lever with no latch mechanism. For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim lever. Both of those are single dummy trim, meaning one lever for one face of the door, so a pull-side-and-push-side pair takes two. The Emtek is supplied as a pair of levers.

A dummy lever is surface mounted and has no latch, so it cannot hold a door closed. For a door that needs to latch but not lock, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose keeps the same decorative family, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever. For a bed or bath door that needs a thumbturn, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the privacy version.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square dummy is a residential surface mounted lever with no latching hardware. Where a fire rated opening is in play, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lock carrying a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed passage lock with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

For Schlage C keyway lever sets, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, on a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock is also a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway.

Eight: 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). Two of those move over time on purpose. Unlacquered Brass has no clear coat and will patina with handling, and Oil Rubbed Bronze wears through at the touch points. If you are matching a fleet of doors years apart, Polished Nickel Lifetime and Satin Nickel hold their look best. Split finishes are possible; note the combination in the comments field on the order.

Three: Square, Disk, and Modern Rectangular. The rosette is the visible plate against the door, so it is the piece that has to agree with the rest of the openings in the house. Pick the same rosette across dummy, passage, privacy, and entry in a SELECT run and the doors read as one set. Disk is the round option if the rest of your trim is round; Square and Modern Rectangular suit contemporary flat-panel work.

Yes, that is the point of the SELECT system. The L-Square Key In lever comes in a working entry function with a single cylinder as well as this non-latching dummy pair, so a bedroom that locks and a closet that does not can carry the same lever, same rosette, same finish. Order the same rosette shape and finish code across all of them and hold one handing convention per door.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square is a contemporary faceted lever in brass. For a traditional decorative alternative, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever comes in a left hand version and a right hand version, each with the 5048 rose. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. The Emtek SELECT dummy ships as a pair and is ordered left hand or right hand; the Baldwin 5103 half dummy is ordered as a single lever by hand.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square key in lever is keyed single cylinder. If keys are the problem, 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 2835DC is the double combination version. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination, passage function, covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.

They are both dummy levers but they are not interchangeable. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series, built to a commercial lever profile. The Emtek SELECT L-Square is a residential brass lever sold as a pair, with a choice of Square, Disk, or Modern Rectangular rosette. If a facility standard calls for the Augusta trim across the doors, the Emtek will not match it.

For a keyed entry function, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead entry levers all carry a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Deltana 5851 Claremont is an entry lever as well. On the commercial side, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek SELECT L-Square dummy has no cylinder and no latch.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square dummy is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, with thicker doors specified at order. Among lever sets that publish a wider range, the Falcon K101 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835 keyless lever covers 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square dummy is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand and handing is required. Several commercial levers avoid that: the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever is a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock uses non-handed levers. If a job needs stock that works on either swing, the non-handed sets remove the handing decision at order time.

Very little. Surface mount means no boring, no chisel work on the edge of the door, and no strike in the jamb. The two levers mount through the door face and the job is a screwdriver and a tape measure. Emtek's own installation guide for passage, privacy and dummy knob and lever sets covers the layout, and the knobset and leverset dimension sheet gives the trim measurements if you are working around existing hardware marks.

Tubular. The SELECT L-Square is a bored tubular lockset design, so the keyed versions in the family go into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore rather than a mortise pocket. This dummy pair itself needs no bore at all, but it means you can mix it with the keyed L-Square sets on doors that are already prepped for tubular hardware without switching prep types.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square is a brass lever in eight finishes from Flat Black to Unlacquered Brass. For a plainer closet or hall door in a rental, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton 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. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa are Grade 2 passage leversets, the Tampa with square trim.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square lever is offered with a Square rosette, a Modern Rectangular rosette, or a Disk rosette. If the requirement is square trim in a latching set on another door, the Bravura Tampa passage leverset uses square trim and is Grade 2. Bravura's Atlanta, Orlando, and Miramar passage leversets use round trim instead.
