Emtek 8681US15.RECUS15A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset does the Emtek 8681 privacy bolt use, and will it hit my existing bore?
Backset is adjustable, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and you pick one when ordering. Those are the two backsets used on residential doors, so an existing bored door almost always matches one of them. The cross bore is 2-1/8 inches, the standard tubular lock bore, so a door already prepped for a knob or lever set takes the bolt without redrilling.
2) Does the Emtek 8681 thumbturn privacy bolt come with a knob or lever?
No. The 8681 is the privacy bolt only, a thumbturn on a single rosette with its own latch. The knob or lever set is a separate order. Pair it with any Emtek Brass passage set and you get a bed or bath opening: the passage set works the door, the thumbturn throws the privacy bolt.
3) Can I use an Emtek 8681 thumbturn privacy bolt on a commercial or office door?
It is a residential-duty tubular lock, and there is no keyed function on it at all, so it is not the part for a commercial opening that needs keying or a graded lock. For bedrooms, baths, and residential-style multi-family interiors it is the right piece. Anywhere the door has to be locked from outside, or has to meet a commercial spec, look at a keyed mortise or cylindrical lock instead.
4) Do I need to specify handing for an Emtek 8681 privacy bolt?
The bolt itself is a thumbturn, so it is not handed. Handing comes up on the leverset you pair it with: Emtek requires handing on leversets, not on knobs. So order the bolt by style and finish, and hand the lever separately.
5) Why use a separate thumbturn privacy bolt instead of a privacy knob or lever?
Two reasons buyers pick the bolt. First, it lets you run a plain passage knob or lever on a bedroom or bath door and keep the locking function in a separate deadbolt-style thumbturn, which is the traditional look on older and higher-end interior doors. Second, it works with any Emtek Brass passage set, so you can standardize on one passage design across a whole house or floor and only add the bolt at the doors that need privacy. If you would rather have one hole and one piece of hardware, a privacy knob or leverset is the simpler buy.
6) Can I get the Emtek thumbturn and rosette in different finishes?
Yes, they are ordered as separate finish choices, so a mixed pair is a normal order rather than a special. The Disk rosette comes in Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The thumbturn carries the same list except Polished Chrome.
7) Which latch faceplate corner does the Emtek privacy latch use, round or square?
Both are covered, round corner and square corner. That matters on a retrofit: if the existing latch mortise in the door edge was routed square, a round-corner faceplate leaves gaps at the corners, and the reverse leaves you chiseling. Match the faceplate to what is already cut into the door edge and the swap is a straight drop-in.
8) Is the Emtek 8681 privacy bolt solid brass?
Brass throughout, both the material and the substrate, which is why the unlacquered brass option will patina over time while the plated and lacquered finishes hold their color. It belongs to Emtek's Brass collection, and that is the same collection the passage sets it mates with come from, so finishes match across the door.
9) How do you get into a bathroom if the Emtek privacy thumbturn is locked from inside?
An emergency release tool ships with the bolt. It is the outside-side override for a privacy latch, and it comes in the box, so you do not need to order it separately or keep a screwdriver by the door. Property managers doing several doors should keep one tool per building rather than lose all of them in the units.
