Emtek 8100.C.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Cortina passage leverset fit a 1-3/4 inch door with standard door prep?
Yes. The Cortina passage set works on doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which is the standard prep on virtually every pre-bored door. The standard latch is set for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and you pick 2-3/4 inch on the order if that is what your door is drilled for. One caveat: the STRETTO rosette is drilled differently, needing a 1-1/4 inch bore and a 2-hole prep.
2) Does a passage leverset lock, or do I need a privacy set for a bedroom or bathroom?
Passage means no lock at all. The Cortina passage set is non-keyed with a passage function, so the lever just retracts the latch, both sides always operate, and there is no button, thumbturn or cylinder. That is what you want on a hall, closet, laundry or pantry door. For a bedroom or bath you need a privacy set with a thumbturn, and for an exterior or lockable door you need a keyed entry function instead.
3) Is the Emtek Cortina lever handed, and how do I tell which hand to order?
Handing matters here. The Cortina lever is ordered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so you have to know the swing before you buy. Stand on the outside of the door, the side you face when it opens away from you: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. On a passage door the lever should sweep down toward the latch edge, not back toward the hinges. If you want a lever you do not have to hand, a non-handed commercial passage lever like the Falcon B101 or Falcon K101 is reversible in the field.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering the Emtek Cortina passage lever?
Five things: finish, handing, rosette, latch type, and backset. Finishes run 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). Rosette choices are #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. Backset is 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. There is also a field for door thickness and one for a split finish if you want the two sides different.
5) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch and the CF mechanism on Emtek leversets?
Three choices, and they decide how the lever feels and how the trim looks. Standard latch is the normal tubular latch. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens the lever swing, so the handle travels less to retract the bolt. The CF mechanism is the one to pick if you do not want screws showing: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, and the 28 degree latch comes with it. Latch faceplates are available round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in your door edge.
6) The Cortina is residential rated - what passage lever should I use on a commercial corridor door instead?
For a commercial opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, and it covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Falcon T101 is another Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, with pressure release technology. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek Cortina is a residential brass passage leverset, so on a rated or high-traffic commercial corridor the Grade 1 cylindrical locks are the ones written to that spec.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Cortina passage leverset in a decorative brass line?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative equivalent - it is a passage lever on a round rose, the same non-keyed hall and closet function as the Cortina passage set. The Cortina is a tubular passage leverset in brass with a choice of rosette shapes including the #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire, so if the opening needs a rosette profile other than a single round rose, the Cortina is the one that gives that choice.
8) The door needs to lock for a bedroom or bath - is the Cortina passage set the wrong choice?
Yes. The Cortina passage set is non-keyed passage, hall and closet function, so it latches but does not lock. For a bedroom or bath, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the privacy version in a decorative line, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) The opening needs a key - what replaces the Cortina passage set on an entry or office door?
The Cortina passage set is non-keyed, so a keyed opening needs a different lock. The Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead are entry levers covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors in a decorative line. On the commercial side, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 keyed entry/office clutching lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset.
10) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - which passage levers cover it?
The Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever runs 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek Cortina passage set takes a door thickness entry when ordering, so state the exact thickness with the order.
11) How much room does the Emtek Cortina lever need next to a door casing or a wall?
The lever is 4-3/8 inches wide and projects 2-1/4 inches off the door, with 1 inch of clearance between the back of the lever and the door face. That 1 inch is the knuckle room, and the 4-3/8 inch width is what you check against a tight casing, a door in a corner, or a door that swings back against a wall where the lever could hit first.
12) Does the Emtek Cortina passage set come with the latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
Complete set. The Cortina passage leverset ships with the latch and the strike plate, plus levers and rosettes for both sides, so one order finishes the door. Nothing extra to buy unless your existing door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset, in which case you select that backset rather than adding a part.
13) Can I match the Emtek Cortina lever across a whole house and mix rosette styles?
Yes, and that is the point of the Emtek brass program. The Cortina lever can be ordered with any brass rosette, so you can run the same lever on every door and change the rose to suit a room, or keep one rose throughout for a uniform look. Ten finishes are offered, and a split finish option lets the corridor side and room side differ. For the bedrooms and baths in the same house, order the Cortina in privacy function so the levers match while the function changes.
14) What is a comparable decorative brass passage lever to the Emtek Cortina?
The closest peer in the decorative residential category is the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose, which is the same function, a passage lever for halls and closets. Baldwin also offers the 5103 in privacy and in left and right hand half dummy, so you can run the same trim across a door set. On the lighter end, the Bravura Miramar passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass is a Grade 2 round trim option in a brass finish, and Bravura's Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa passage levers give round or square trim in the same family.
15) I need a lever on a closet door that has no latch at all, just a pull. Is the Cortina passage set what I want?
No. A passage set includes a working latch and strike, so it needs a bored door and a strike in the jamb. If the door is an inactive leaf, a false front, or held shut by a ball catch, you want a dummy lever, which is trim only with no latch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 comes as a left or right hand half dummy, and on the commercial side the BEST 9K single dummy trim (Grade 1) and BEST 7KC single dummy trim (Grade 2) do the same job.
16) Will the Emtek Cortina lever work on a thick 2-inch solid door?
Yes. The Cortina passage set covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches with the standard 2-1/8 inch bore, so a 2 inch slab is inside the range. There is a door thickness field on the order so you can state the actual measurement. Most residential competitors stop short of that: the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is rated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Deltana Manchester, Morant and Linstead levers run 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
17) I need a plainer passage lever for back-of-house doors - what else does the same job as the Cortina?
Several passage levers cover the same hall and closet function in a plainer commercial trim. The Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock with the Sierra lever, 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with non-handed levers. The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Cortina is the decorative brass option in the same function, ordered in finishes such as Flat Black US19, Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B and Satin Nickel US15.
18) What looks like a substitute for the Cortina passage set but will not work on a door that has to latch?
Dummy trim looks similar on the door face but has no latch at all - it is a fixed pull. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever comes handed left or right, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy, and the Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever. The Emtek Cortina passage set is sold complete with latch and strike plate, so it is the one to order when the door has to latch closed.
19) The Cortina comes handed - which passage levers are non-handed if I do not want to track door swing on an order?
The Emtek Cortina passage set is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand. If tracking handing across a multi-door order is the problem, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers. The Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible and ships with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike.
20) For a multi-family turn where I am replacing passage levers in volume, what are the alternatives to the Cortina?
For volume interior passage doors, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Stepping up, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and 4601LN are Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever locks, and the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, with the Tampa in square trim. The Emtek Cortina is the brass option when the units are being finished to a decorative standard, with finishes including Polished Nickel US14, Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Pewter US15A.
21) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever that gives the same free passage as the Cortina when the button is off?
Yes. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version in the same thickness range. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, with the 1150S offering an adjustable backset. The Emtek Cortina is a non-electronic brass leverset, so the Lockey sets are the route when a code is wanted on the door.
22) Is the Emtek Cortina passage leverset electronic or keypad operated?
No, it is purely mechanical, a non-electronic tubular leverset with no code entry and no cylinder. If you need keyless access on a passage opening, the Lockey 1150 and Lockey 2835 mechanical keypad lever sets are passage function with no wiring and no battery, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad lever lock.
23) What is the difference between the Design Hardware X75 and J75 passage levers if I am cross-shopping against the Cortina?
Both are passage lever locksets with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. The X75 is in the X Series at Grade 1; the J75 is in the J Series at Grade 2. The Emtek Cortina passage set is the brass decorative alternative in the same passage, hall and closet function, and it is the one that fits a range of door thicknesses on a 2-1/8 inch bore standard prep with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
