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

It's dummy trim, so there is no latch and no turning mechanism. The levers are fixed pulls that mount to the door surface, which is why Emtek lists it as surface mount with no door prep required. Use it on a closet door that is held by a ball catch or roller catch, or on the inactive leaf of a pair. If you need the door to latch, you need a passage, privacy or entry set instead.

Yes, handing is required. The lever is offered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and since it's a pair, the two levers are ordered to suit the swing. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's left hand. Ordering the wrong hand gives you levers pointing the wrong way.

Yes. The range covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, with 1-3/4 inch treated as standard. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, say so when ordering, since there is a door thickness field to specify it.

For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty version of the same idea. The Emtek SELECT dummy is a residential brass set that ships as a pair with handing specified, so the BEST parts are single-side trim rather than a matched pair.

A dummy lever has no latch, so for a door that must close and stay shut you want a functioning lever. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in passage and in privacy with the same 5048 rose, which keeps the decorative look. On the commercial side the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever.

No. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled dummy pair carries the key-in lever appearance but is surface mounted with no door prep and no working cylinder. If the opening needs real keyed entry, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead are entry-function levers for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock.

It is a residential set, so for rated or high-traffic openings look at fire rated commercial levers instead: the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock.

Three rose options: Square, Disk, and Modern Rectangular. The rose is what sets the look against the rest of the room, so pick the one that matches the other SELECT trim on adjacent doors. The stem is the Key In L-Square (KLS) and the handle is the Straight Knurled (SK) design.

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). There is also an optional split finish field if you want a different finish inside than out. Unlacquered brass and French antique are living finishes that will darken with handling, so plan on that if you're standardizing a whole floor.

The Emtek SELECT Straight Knurled dummy is sold as a pair, one lever on each face. For a single-sided application, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered as a left hand (5103 LDM) or right hand (5103 RDM) unit with the 5048 rose. On the commercial side, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever.

None of the usual boring. Dummy trim mounts to the door face, so there's no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch bore to cut. You fasten the rose to the door and the lever follows. That makes it a clean way to add matching trim to a closet or a fixed leaf without touching the door with a hole saw.

Stay in the SELECT line and pick the function you need rather than the dummy: entry, passage or privacy with the same Straight Knurled lever and one of the three rose shapes, so the trim matches door to door. If you want a keyed lever from another brand in a similar contemporary vein, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Both are plainer, single-side dummy trims, where the Emtek SELECT set is a solid brass contemporary pair with a choice of Disk, Square, or Modern Rectangular rosette and eight finishes.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled dummy is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with thicker doors specified at order. If you need a wider range off the shelf, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 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, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

Dummy trim is for inactive leaves only. For the swinging hall and closet doors, passage levers pair with it: the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the same 5048 rose family for a matched look, and on the value side the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Emtek set is built for.

Only if you want keyless code entry rather than decorative trim. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, while the Lockey 2835 and 1150 are mechanical pushbutton keypad lever sets that need no power. The Emtek SELECT set is non-electronic brass trim in a contemporary style.

The Bravura Tampa uses square trim and the Atlanta, Orlando, and Miramar use round trim, and all four are Grade 2 passage leversets that latch. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled set is a dummy with no latching function, offered with Disk, Square, or Modern Rectangular rosettes.
