Emtek Classic Brass Leverset - Manning Lever, Privacy Set

Yes. The Manning privacy lever mounts in standard door prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick, with the latch set for a 2-3/8 inch backset unless you specify 2-3/4 inch. One exception to plan around: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the door needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep for the thumbturn, which is not the same hole pattern as a standard bore.

No. The Manning privacy set ships complete with the latch and strike plate. What you still decide at the order: backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch), handing, finish, rosette, and which latch. Pick the CF mechanism and a 28 degree latch comes with it.

Handing matters here. The Manning lever is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand, so you have to determine the swing before you buy. Stand outside the door (the side it swings away from): if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. A privacy lever ordered the wrong hand points the lever the wrong way on the door.

Not keyed. Manning privacy is a bed and bath function: a thumbturn or pushbutton locks it from inside, with an emergency release on the outside. That is the right function for bedrooms and bathrooms. If you need a key on the outside for an entry or an office door, a privacy set is the wrong function, look at a keyed entry lever instead.

Yes, up to 2-1/4 inches. The Manning fits any door from 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick on a standard 2-1/8 inch bore, which covers thick solid core and most interior slabs. There is a door thickness field on the order, so state your actual thickness when it is over the common 1-3/4 inches and the correct spindle and screws come with it.

No modification needed. Backset is a required choice at order, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, and the standard latch ships at 2-3/8 inch unless you call out 2-3/4. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore, pick that number, and the latch lines up with the existing cross bore and strike location.

The Emtek Manning privacy set is a residential lockset, so for a commercial opening the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever is the direction to go; it is a graded commercial lever that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Arrow MK02-TA is another privacy-function option, Grade 1 with a fire rating, though it is a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so it will not satisfy an opening that requires lever operation. Keep the Manning where the opening is a residential bedroom or bath and the trim needs to read as decorative brass.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative-brand match, carrying the same privacy/bed/bath function as the Emtek Manning privacy set. Both are lever-trim bed and bath sets that lock from the inside with no key. The Emtek Manning is a brass lockset in an American Classic style, and it is ordered in a chosen handing, left hand or right hand, while the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy version is a single privacy listing. If the rest of the doors in the house already wear Baldwin Estate trim, the 5103 privacy matches that program; if the trim program is Emtek, the Manning privacy set is the one that keeps rosette and finish consistent.

The Manning privacy set is a bed and bath lock that latches and locks, so for a hall or closet door with no locking requirement a passage lever is the right part. In the same decorative family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is a passage/hall/closet function version of the same trim. On the residential side, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 passage set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a commercial closet, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, which removes the handing decision entirely.

No. The Manning is a privacy/bed/bath lockset sold complete with latch and strike plate, so it needs a bored door with a working latch. An inactive or false leaf takes dummy trim instead, which mounts to the face of the door with no latch at all. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever is available in a left hand version and a right hand version, both dummy function, and keeps the same Estate trim look. On the commercial side, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent.

The Manning privacy set fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick on a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so a 2 inch door is outside that range. The Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead entry levers each cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Match the function you actually need on that thick door rather than the trim: the Falcon and Dexter are commercial functions, while the Deltana Manchester and Linstead are entry function decorative levers.

Three near-misses come up often. The Deltana 5851 Claremont and 6411 Morant are decorative levers in a similar traditional idiom, but both are entry function, meaning they take a key from the outside rather than a bed and bath thumbturn. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, a Grade 2 code-entry set, where the Manning is a non-electronic, non-keyed lockset. And the Arrow MK02-TA is a genuine privacy/bed/bath function but with a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so it will not carry a lever specification. A true swap has to match on all three: privacy function, lever trim, and mechanical operation.

On a rated opening, the lockset has to carry the rating. Among the peers, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lock both carry a fire rating, and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock carries one as well. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever is built with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike. The Emtek Manning privacy set is the residential brass choice for interior bedroom and bath doors that are not part of a rated assembly.

Three latch choices. Standard latch is the conventional Emtek tubular latch. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens how far the lever has to travel to retract the bolt, so it takes less wrist motion. The CF mechanism is the one to pick if you do not want screws showing: CF rosettes have no exposed screws on the face, and the 28 degree latch is included with it.

The Manning lever pairs with any of the brass rosettes: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. That is the lever's main styling decision, and it lets you run the same Manning lever through a house while matching the rose shape to the room, round for traditional openings and Rectangular for a squarer, more contemporary look.

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). The two Lifetime finishes are the ones that hold their appearance. Unlacquered Brass is the opposite by design, it patinas with handling, so do not order it expecting it to match a lacquered brass set already on the other doors.

For a rental where the priority is a working bath lock rather than solid brass trim, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is the straightforward substitute, Grade 3, fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the narrower thickness range, it will not cover doors over 1-3/4 inches the way the Manning does at up to 2-1/4 inches, and you give up the brass body and the rosette choices.

Match the mortise already cut in the door edge. The Manning latch is offered with a round corner or a square corner faceplate. Retrofitting a door that was routed by a machine typically wants round corner; a hand-chiseled or square-routed mortise takes square corner. Getting this right is the difference between dropping the latch in and re-chiseling the edge.

If the bedroom and bath doors take the Manning privacy set, the hall and closet doors on the same run need a passage lever in a matching idiom. Baldwin Estate 5103 passage with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative peer. Bravura offers round trim passage leversets in Grade 2 across Miramar, Atlanta and Orlando, plus the Tampa with square trim, and the Miramar is listed in US4 Satin Brass. Satin Brass US4 is also one of the Manning finishes, alongside Polished Brass Lifetime US3, Satin Nickel US15 and Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, so a brass-family run can be held consistent across functions.

The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is the plainer residential route: a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, ordered as a single set. The Emtek Manning privacy set is a brass lockset configured across ten finishes from Flat Black US19 to Unlacquered Brass US3NL, seven rosette styles including Quincy, Watford and Wilshire, and a choice of standard latch, 28 degree rotation latch, or CF mechanism with no exposed rosette screws. Choose the Breton when one bathroom door needs a working privacy lever; choose the Manning when the trim has to match a specified finish and rosette across the house.

The Manning is a residential brass lockset with a tubular lock type, so it sits apart from the graded cylindrical lines used for facility standards. A facility program is usually built on one graded series across functions: Corbin Russwin CL3100 gives a Grade 1 vandal resistant, fire rated passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors; Dexter C1000 covers Grade 1 classroom, classroom security, and entry/office on one platform; Cal-Royal AG covers Grade 2 entrance, classroom, and storeroom. The Manning is the choice for residential suite doors inside such a property, where the bedroom and bath trim is meant to read as decorative brass rather than commercial.

Yes. The Manning privacy set is ordered as left hand or right hand, so the door swing has to be confirmed before the order goes in. If handing is the sticking point, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever is described as a non-handed design, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. Both are passage function rather than privacy, so they suit hall and closet doors; a bed or bath door still needs a privacy set with the swing identified.

Yes. There is a split finish field on the order, so you can run one finish on the corridor side and another inside the room, useful when a bedroom or bath finish scheme differs from the hallway. Write both finishes into that field when you order, drawn from the ten offered.
