Emtek Classic Brass Key In Leverset - Cortina Lever with Rosette Options - Single Cylinder

Handing is required on the Cortina leverset, and it is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH). Stand outside the door, on the side the key goes in: if the hinges are on your left it's left hand, hinges on the right it's right hand. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way on the door, so pin it down before the order goes in. If you want a lever you can flip on site instead, a non-handed cylindrical lock like the Falcon B101 or K101 passage lever is reversible, though those are passage function and not keyed.

Standard latch is 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is selectable at order time. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 are the two common backsets on a bored door, and picking the wrong one leaves the latch short of, or past, the strike. Both are on the order form, so match what's already drilled in your door.

Two keyways are offered on the Cortina: Schlage as the standard, and Weiser (WR5). The Weiser cylinder carries no upcharge and can be keyed into an existing Weiser system, so a landlord already running Weiser keys across a building doesn't have to break the system to add this lever. The Weiser version is ordered by putting a W at the front of the product code. Keying itself is set at order time as keyed different or keyed alike, and you can supply an existing key code to have it cut to match.

Keyed alike is an option on the Cortina lever, so a run of doors can be ordered on one key instead of a ring per opening. Keyed different is the other choice if each opening needs its own key. There's also a keying-to-code field, so if you already have a code on file for the building the cylinders can be cut to it and the new levers drop into the existing key system.

The Cortina is a residential leverset in solid brass, aimed at houses, condos and high-end apartment entries. For a commercial corridor, a school, or anything taking public traffic, go to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lock instead: the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series is Grade 1 and fire rated, the Falcon K Series K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever. Those are built for cycle counts and abuse the Cortina isn't sold against.

Tubular bored lock, not a mortise. It goes into a standard cross-bore through the face of the door with an edge bore for the latch, so if your door is already drilled for a knob or lever you're on the right prep. A mortise lock needs a rectangular pocket cut into the door edge instead, and swapping between the two is a different door prep entirely.

The Cortina keyed lever is a residential brass tubular lockset with entry function. For a heavier opening, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are keyed entry function like the Cortina, but they are commercial cylindrical locks rather than decorative brass trim, so the finish and rosette choices are far narrower.

The Deltana entry levers cover the same decorative keyed-entry territory: the 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead are all entry function and fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the 5851 Claremont is also entry function. The Cortina is a brass tubular entry set specified for a standard 1-3/4 inch door, so the Deltana entry levers cover that thickness plus a wider range, and the difference comes down to lever shape and rosette styling rather than function.

The Cortina is keyed, single cylinder, entry function, so it is the wrong set for a hall or closet door. For a non-keyed decorative lever in the same vein, the Baldwin Estate 5103 comes in passage, privacy, and half dummy versions on the 5048 rose, with left hand and right hand half dummy ordered separately. If you want a matched set across a suite of doors, the 5103 family lets you put passage on the closet, privacy on the bath, and dummy on the inactive leaf.

The Cortina is entry function only, which is not the right function for a school or a supply room. For classroom function, the Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 classroom cylindrical lever fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and a 2-3/4 inch backset. For storeroom, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Cortina is a residential brass lockset, and residential decorative sets are specified on style and function rather than on a commercial grade line. When the drawing calls out a grade or a fire rating, order a commercial set instead: the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is Grade 1 and fire rated, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1, fire rated, and heavy duty, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock. Those are the sets that answer a spec review.

Single cylinder means key outside, thumbturn or lever inside, no key needed to get out. That's the entry function you want on a house door or an apartment entry, and it's what fire and life-safety practice expects on a dwelling exit. If you need a lock nobody can operate without a key from either side, this isn't it.

Four rosettes back the Cortina lever: Classic Brass Regular, Classic Brass #8, Classic Brass Rectangular, and Classic Brass Rope. The Rope rosette is offered in a limited range of finishes, so if you've set your finish first, confirm the Rope pairs with it before you commit. The rectangular rose is the one to pick when you're matching square or rectangular trim elsewhere on the door.

Ten finishes on the Cortina: 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 two Lifetime finishes are the ones to specify when you don't want the brass or nickel changing over the years; Unlacquered Brass is the opposite choice, it will patina. Matching hinges and other trim by US number is the reliable way to keep an opening consistent.

All three are decorative residential entry levers, and the split is in what each publishes. The Cortina is solid brass, single cylinder entry, offered in Schlage or Weiser keyway with four rosette styles. Deltana's entry levers, the 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead, are rated for a wider 1-3/8 to 2 inch door range, which matters if you're working on an older interior door at 1-3/8 inch. Baldwin's Estate 5103 on the 5048 rose is sold in passage, privacy and half dummy functions, so it's the line to look at when you need matching non-keyed levers on the interior doors alongside a keyed entry.

The Cortina keyed leverset is entry function, single cylinder, so it's the exterior or lockable door only. Interior doors need passage or privacy function, which is a different lock. If matching the exact Emtek Cortina trim across the house is the priority, look for the Cortina in passage and privacy function; if you're open to another line, Baldwin's Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is sold in passage, privacy and half dummy (left and right hand) so a whole house can be trimmed out consistently.

No. The Cortina is a keyed entry lockset with a single cylinder, meaning it locks and takes a key from the outside. Sets like the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa Grade 2 leversets, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical lever, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton are passage function, which latches the door but never locks. They look similar on the door and are not interchangeable at an entry opening.

The Cortina entry lever is offered with a Schlage keyway as standard or a Weiser WR5 keyway, and the Weiser version can be keyed into an existing Weiser system at no cylinder upcharge. If neither keyway matches the building, keyless entry sets avoid the question entirely: the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever lock is ADA compliant and fits doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds double combination, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those are passage-function keyless sets rather than key-in-lever, so the credential is a code instead of a key.

The Cortina is built for a standard 1-3/4 inch door with thicker doors specified at order. If you would rather order a set that carries the range as standard, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead entry levers all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. On the commercial side, the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, though both of those are passage function rather than keyed entry.

Handing is required on the Cortina, ordered left hand or right hand. If you are buying for stock or do not want to survey every door first, non-handed sets remove that step: the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock both use non-handed levers, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. Those are passage function, so they replace the Cortina only where the door does not need to lock.

The Cortina is a keyed entry set, so a dummy has to come from a companion product. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed, left hand and right hand ordered separately, on the 5048 rose. For commercial trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy is Grade 1 heavy duty, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy is Grade 2 medium duty, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever.

The Cortina is a brass entry set ordered by handing, rosette, finish, keyway, and backset. If you want fewer decisions per door, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 return-style keyed entry lockset. The Callan Bennett pairs a Grade 3 entrance leverset with a deadbolt as a combo if the opening needs both.

No. The Cortina is keyed entry with a single cylinder, which is not privacy function. For privacy, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever on the 5048 rose is the decorative match, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Cortina ships with a Schlage keyway as standard, with a Weiser WR5 keyway available by adding a W to the front of the product code. Among commercial entry levers, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever uses the same 6-pin Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/4 inch backset. If a Yale-trimmed opening needs to join a Schlage system, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware.

Strictly mechanical, key and lever, no keypad, no batteries, no wiring. For keyless entry on a lever, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton lever lock fitting 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty keypad lever for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors, both with no power required. If you want an electronic keypad, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
