Emtek 5205.HM.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek Arts & Crafts hammered lever privacy set fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The hammered lever privacy set drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so a door already prepped for a tubular residential lockset takes it with no new boring. The latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two backsets found on prepped residential doors, and you pick which one you want when you order.
2) How do I measure the backset before ordering an Emtek privacy leverset?
Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bored hole. If it comes out at 2-3/8 inches, order that; if it is 2-3/4 inches, specify the 2-3/4. Backset is a required choice on the Emtek hammered privacy set, not something you adjust after the fact in the box, so getting it off the door first saves a return. Older interior doors and most builder-grade prep run 2-3/8; deeper stile prep runs 2-3/4.
3) Is the Emtek hammered privacy lever keyed, and how does it lock?
Non-keyed. It is a privacy/bed/bath function, so it locks from the inside only, with no cylinder and no key on either side. That is the right function for a bedroom or bathroom door. If you need a key on the outside for an office, closet with valuables, or an entry, this is the wrong function and you want an entry or keyed lever instead.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Arts & Crafts hammered lever?
Yes, handing matters on this one. The hammered lever is ordered left hand or right hand, so stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. There is no field-reversible option here, so a wrong-hand lever points the wrong way once it is on the door.
5) What comes in the box with the Emtek hammered privacy leverset, or do I need to buy a latch and strike separately?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to order to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate comes as round corner or square corner, so match it to what is already mortised into the door edge to avoid chiseling.
6) Can I use the Emtek hammered privacy lever on commercial restroom or office doors?
It is a residential lockset, solid brass, and it carries no commercial grade. For a facility opening that needs a rated cylindrical privacy lock, look instead at the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock, which is fire rated and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, or the Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek is the right call for bedrooms and baths in homes, apartments, and boutique hospitality where the look is doing the work.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered privacy leverset from another decorative brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative peer - a privacy/bed/bath lever from a designer-hardware line, same as the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered lever's privacy/bed/bath function. The two differ in trim: the Emtek is a hammered brass lever offered on Arts and Crafts, Hammered, or Quincy rosettes in Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), or Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), while the Baldwin 5103 comes on the 5048 rose. Choose on rose profile and finish match with the rest of the openings.
8) My door is 2 inches thick - what privacy lever fits if this one does not?
The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered privacy set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door, the Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch on knob trim. Both are graded commercial locks rather than decorative brass, so expect a plainer lever or knob and a different rose than the Arts and Crafts, Hammered, or Quincy rosettes.
9) What is the difference between the Emtek Hammered privacy set and a passage lever - do I need the privacy version for a bathroom?
A bathroom or bedroom door needs the privacy function, which is what the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered set provides: it locks from the inside with a thumbturn and is non-keyed. A passage lever such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose latches the door but does not lock at all, and is meant for halls and closets. If the door needs to secure while occupied, the passage version is not a substitute regardless of matching trim.
10) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek leversets, and should I pick it?
CF means the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so you get a clean rose face on both sides instead of visible fasteners. Choose it where the hardware is on show, which on an Arts and Crafts interior door is usually the point. Selecting CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it, so you are not ordering the latch separately. If exposed screws do not bother you, the standard latch build is the other route.
11) Which rosette shapes and finishes can I get on the Emtek Arts & Crafts hammered lever?
Three rosettes back the hammered lever: the Arts & Crafts rosette, the Hammered rosette, and the Quincy rosette. Finishes run Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass is the one to be deliberate about in a multi-unit or hospitality setting, since it is bare brass and will patina with handling rather than hold its out-of-box look.
12) What is a cheaper privacy lever alternative to the Emtek hammered set for a rental turn?
For a bedroom or bath door in a rental where the finish spend is not the priority, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy leverset is a Grade 3 privacy lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. It is the same function as the Emtek, lock from inside, no key. What you give up is the hammered solid brass trim, the choice of three rosettes, and the four Emtek finishes. If you want a designer privacy lever between the two, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is another option.
13) I need a bed and bath lever for a rental unit without the decorative brass price tier - what else works?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever set that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered privacy set is specified for. The Emtek is solid brass with a hammered lever and a choice of Arts and Crafts, Hammered, or Quincy rosette; the Breton is a plainer residential trim on a single rose. If the bedroom and bath doors are behind the scenes and the corridor doors carry the design, the Breton covers the function on the same door prep.
14) I ordered a dummy lever thinking it was the same trim - will it work on a bathroom door?
No. A dummy lever is surface mounted trim with no latch and no lock: the Baldwin Estate 5103 Half Dummy Lever with 5048 Rose ships handed left or right, and the Callan Bentley is a dummy lever as well. The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered privacy set is a complete tubular lockset sold with latch and strike plate for a 2-1/8 inch bore door prep. For a bath or bedroom door that must latch and lock, order the privacy set; dummies are for inactive leaves and closet fronts.
15) The bathroom door in a school building needs a lever - is the Emtek Hammered privacy set the right pick?
For an institutional restroom the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered privacy set is a residential brass lockset, and heavy use openings are usually specified with a graded device. The Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock is Grade 1 and fire rated, and the Hager 2540 privacy lock with Withnell lever is Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Where the facility standardizes on interchangeable core or heavy duty cylindrical trim, the BEST 9K Series is the Grade 1 heavy duty line to match trim against.
16) Is there a privacy lever that also gives keyless code entry for a shared bathroom or staff room?
The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered set is a non-keyed, non-electronic privacy lockset operated by a thumbturn. If the door needs code entry instead, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant and fits doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch with an adjustable backset. Those are passage-function keypad devices, so they control who enters rather than letting the occupant lock themselves in.
17) Can I order an Emtek leverset with two different finishes, one on each side of the door?
Yes. A split finish can be specified on the Emtek hammered privacy set, which is how you keep a hallway finish on the corridor side and a different one facing into the room. Call out which finish goes on which side when you order, drawn from Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL).
18) Can I match the Emtek Hammered privacy lever with passage levers on the hall doors from another line?
Matching across functions is easiest within one design family, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in privacy, passage, and left and right hand half dummy on the same 5048 rose, so a floor mixing bath, hall, and closet doors can carry one look. The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered privacy set is brass and shares finishes across Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), with Arts and Crafts, Hammered, or Quincy rosettes to align with adjacent Emtek trim.
