Emtek 8100.MNG.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Manning passage leverset fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Manning passage set works on doors from 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick with the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, so a 1-3/4 inch door with a normal bore takes it with no extra machining. One caveat on the trim: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep, which is a different door prep than the rest of the rosette options.
2) What backset does the Emtek Manning lever come with, and can I get 2-3/4 inch?
The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is a selectable option you specify when you order. Those are the two common residential backsets, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you pick. Get it wrong and the lever will not line up with the hole.
3) Does a passage lever like the Emtek Manning lock, or do I need a privacy set for a bedroom?
Passage means no lock at all. The Manning passage set is non-keyed with a passage function, so both levers always retract the latch, which is what you want on a hall, closet, or pantry door. For a bedroom or bath you need a privacy set with a thumbturn instead. Keep in mind the STRETTO rosette's 2-hole prep is what a thumbturn privacy needs, so a door prepped that way is set up for privacy trim, not this passage set.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Manning lever?
Yes. The Manning is ordered left hand or right hand. Stand on the outside of the door (the side that swings away from you) and the hinges tell you: hinges on the left is left hand. Levers are handed because the lever has to point toward the latch edge, so ordering the wrong hand gives you a lever curving the wrong way.
5) Is the Emtek Manning leverset rated for a commercial office building or a rental turn?
The Manning is a residential brass leverset, tubular type, non-keyed. It suits houses, condos, and finish-grade interior openings. For a commercial corridor, a school, or a high-traffic multifamily hallway you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical passage lock instead, such as the Falcon K101 heavy duty Grade 1 passage lever or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever. Both of those are built for the cycle counts a commercial opening sees.
6) Can I use the Emtek Manning passage set on a door that already has a knob, and will it cover the old holes?
If the existing door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, the Manning drops straight into it, since those are the two backsets it is built for. The rosette diameter varies by which of the seven shapes you pick, so a larger rosette like the Rectangular or Watford gives you more coverage over marks left by the old trim. The one exception is the STRETTO rosette, which needs its own 1-1/4 inch bore and 2-hole prep rather than the standard hole.
7) What is the closest commercial-grade equivalent to the Emtek Manning passage leverset for a door that needs an ANSI grade on the submittal?
The Emtek Manning lever in passage function is a residential brass tubular lockset, so it carries no ANSI grade. When a grade has to appear on the submittal, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock, fire rated, with non-handed levers and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is another Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both keep the same passage function - latch retracts from either side, no locking - while meeting a specified grade.
8) I need a matching privacy lever for the bedroom and bath doors on the same job as the Manning passage sets - what pairs with it?
The Emtek Manning set in passage function is non-keyed and does not lock, so bed and bath openings need a privacy lock instead. Within the same decorative style, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a privacy version with the 5048 rose. On the commercial side, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2540 uses the Withnell lever on 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) What should I use instead of the Manning passage leverset on a door that has to lock or take a key?
The Manning lever in passage function is non-keyed - it has no cylinder and no locking. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a classroom opening, the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching mechanism.
10) What looks like a substitute for the Manning passage lever but will not work in the same opening?
Dummy levers are the common mix-up. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, the BEST 9K 1DT single dummy trim and the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy all mount a lever that does not turn and carries no latch, so they suit an inactive leaf only. The Manning passage set is sold complete with latch and strike plate and its lever retracts the latch. Also distinct are keypad units such as the Lockey 2835, a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock, which changes how the door is operated entirely.
11) For a multi-family or hotel corridor where doors take heavy traffic, what passage lever should I standardize on instead of the Emtek Manning?
The Manning passage set is classed as residential hardware. For a facility standard on passage openings, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST 7KC series covers medium duty Grade 2. Where a fire rating is required on the corridor, the Falcon K101 and Corbin Russwin CL3110 both carry one in passage function.
12) My doors are 2 inches thick - the Manning passage set covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, so what passage lever fits?
For passage function on a 2 inch door, the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with Withnell design covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
13) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek levers?
Three latch choices. The standard latch is the normal tubular latch. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens the lever swing, so the lever drops less to retract the bolt. The CF mechanism is the one to pick if you do not want fasteners showing: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, and it includes the 28 degree latch. If clean trim on a visible door matters, CF is the order option that gets it.
14) What comes in the box with the Emtek Manning passage set, or do I need to buy a latch and strike separately?
It is a complete set: lever trim both sides, latch, and strike plate. Nothing else to buy to hang it on a prepped door. You choose the latch faceplate as round corner or square corner, so match whatever is already routed into your door edge, round corner is the usual residential prep.
15) Which rosette shapes can I get with the Emtek Manning lever?
Seven rosettes pair with the Manning lever: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Any brass rosette can be ordered with it, which is how you match the Manning to knobs and levers already on other doors in the house. Rectangular and Wilshire read more geometric, Oval and Regular more traditional.
16) What finishes does the Emtek Manning lever come in, and can I mix finishes on one door?
Ten finishes: 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). Split finish is an option you can call out on the order, so one finish inside and another outside on the same door is doable. Unlacquered brass will patina over time; the Lifetime finishes will not.
17) I need a decorative passage lever like the Emtek Manning but for a 2 inch thick door. What else works?
The Manning tops out at 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2 inch door is inside its range. If you need more room or a different look at that thickness, the Falcon K101 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches and the Hager 2510 Withnell passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Those are commercial-style trim rather than decorative brass, so the tradeoff is appearance for range.
18) What is the closest alternative to an Emtek Manning passage lever if I want a similar decorative brass look?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the nearest peer in that decorative-residential lane, same passage function, same idea of a finish-forward lever on a rose. Bravura's Miramar, Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa passage leversets are Grade 2 options with round or square trim if you want a rated lever at a simpler trim level. Where the Manning differs is the option depth: seven rosettes, ten finishes, and a screwless CF rosette mount.
19) What is a decorative brass passage lever comparable to the Emtek Manning if I want a different lever design in the same style of hardware?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the nearest design-driven counterpart - same passage/hall/closet function, sold as a rose-mounted lever set rather than an escutcheon trim. The Emtek Manning passage set differs in that it can be ordered with any brass rosette, including the #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire, so the rose shape is a selection rather than fixed to one design.
20) Is there a simpler non-handed passage lever than the Manning, which has to be ordered left or right hand?
The Emtek Manning passage set is ordered as left hand or right hand. If handing is a problem on a large order or a mixed set of openings, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers, so one part number covers both swings.
21) What is a lower-cost styled passage leverset if the Emtek Manning is more than the job needs?
Bravura offers several Grade 2 passage leversets with a defined trim shape: the Miramar with round trim in US4 satin brass, the Atlanta and Orlando with round trim, and the Tampa with square trim. Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Manning differs in being solid brass with a choice of ten finishes and seven rosette shapes.
22) How do I tell the Emtek Manning passage set apart from other Emtek and decorative lever sets when ordering?
The identifying combination is the Manning lever in the Emtek classic brass collection, passage function, non-keyed, tubular, ordered by finish, handing, rosette, backset and latch style. Among decorative peers the Baldwin Estate 5103 is identified by lever number plus the 5048 rose and comes in separate passage, privacy, left hand half dummy and right hand half dummy part numbers, so function is fixed by the part number rather than selected.
23) Can I get the same passage function with keyless code entry instead of the Manning lever?
Yes, through mechanical keypad lever locks. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors. Both operate the latch by code rather than by an always-free lever like the Manning.
24) Is the Emtek Manning lever solid brass or plated zinc?
Brass, both the material and the substrate, from Emtek's Classic Brass collection. That matters for the unlacquered brass finish in particular: solid brass patinas to a living finish rather than wearing through a plating to a different base metal underneath.
25) Does the Emtek Manning leverset need power or batteries?
No power. The Manning is a purely mechanical tubular leverset, non-electronic and non-keyed. If you are after keyless entry on an interior or utility opening, look at a mechanical pushbutton lever instead, such as the Lockey 2835 which fits doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches thick, or the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors.
