Emtek 8200.M.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door thickness does the Emtek Milano lever work on?
The spec table on the Milano privacy set gives 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the set notes it fits doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick on standard 2-1/8 inch prep. Practically, 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch cover almost every residential door. There is a Door Thickness field on the order form, so state your actual measured thickness when you place the order and the set is built for it.
2) What is included with the Emtek Milano privacy set, and do I need to buy a latch or 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. You do choose the latch type, and the latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match that to the mortise already cut in your door edge.
3) Does a privacy leverset lock with a key, or just a thumbturn?
Privacy means non-keyed. The Milano privacy set locks from the inside with a thumbturn and has no cylinder and no key, which is what you want on a bedroom or bathroom door. If you need a door that locks from the outside with a key, this is the wrong function and you want an entry or keyed lever instead.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Milano lever?
Yes, handing is required. The Milano comes left hand or right hand, and unlike many commercial cylindrical levers it is not field reversible on the order form. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. Get this wrong and the lever points the wrong way.
5) Is the Emtek Milano leverset suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
No. The Milano is a residential brass leverset, tubular type, and it carries no commercial grade. For an apartment corridor, office, or anything on a rated opening, go to a commercial cylindrical lock instead: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed lever with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever fitting 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
6) My door is 2 inches thick - can I use the Emtek Milano privacy leverset?
The Milano privacy set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore. For a 2 inch door, the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6201 Manchester Lever Entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note those are passage and entry functions rather than privacy, so confirm the function matches the opening before ordering.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Milano privacy leverset from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest match in character: a residential-style brass lever in a privacy/bed/bath function, the same function the Milano privacy set performs. Both are lever-and-rose sets for interior bedroom and bathroom doors rather than commercial cylindrical locks. If the Baldwin lever shape and 5048 rose suit the door, it covers the same opening; the Milano set differs in that it can be ordered with any brass rosette, with #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire rosettes among the choices.
8) I need a privacy lever for a bathroom door in a commercial building - is the Emtek Milano the right choice or should I use something else?
The Milano privacy leverset is a residential set in a brass collection, built for interior bedroom and bath doors in homes and residential units. For a commercial washroom, the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a fire rating, though it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. Where a facility spec calls out an ANSI grade or a fire rating, those graded locks answer the spec directly.
9) What is the difference between the CF mechanism and the standard latch on the Emtek Milano?
Three latch choices. The standard latch is the conventional one. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch takes less lever travel to retract, so the handle drops a shorter distance. The CF Mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. If the visible screw heads on the rose bother you, CF is the one to pick.
10) Can I match the Emtek Milano lever to the rose style on my other doors?
The Milano lever is offered on seven rosette shapes: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. It can be ordered with any brass rosette, so if you already have Emtek brass trim elsewhere in the house you can carry the same rose across the openings and only the lever changes.
11) What finishes does the Emtek Milano brass lever come in, and can I mix finishes inside and out?
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 available as an order option, so you can run one finish on the hallway side and another inside the room.
12) What else can I buy instead of the Emtek Milano privacy lever for a bedroom or bathroom door?
Two other residential-style privacy levers: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative equivalent, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is a Grade 3 set fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Milano is the one to stay with if you want solid brass and a choice of rose shape and finish; the others come as fixed trim packages.
13) What is a simpler alternative to the Emtek Milano privacy leverset for a bedroom door?
If the door does not need a locking thumbturn, a passage lever is the simpler part. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the same 5103 lever family in passage/hall/closet function, and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Milano privacy set is non-keyed and locks from inside for bed and bath use; a passage lever latches only and never locks.
14) Is the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever the same thing as the Emtek Milano privacy set?
They share the function but not the build. The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Milano privacy set is a brass leverset in an American Classic style, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and it can be ordered with any brass rosette in ten finishes from Flat Black to Unlacquered Brass. Where the Breton comes as one trim, the Milano is specified lever plus rosette plus finish.
15) What do I order for a closet or pantry door if I want it to match the Emtek Milano privacy levers on the bedrooms?
Within the Milano program the passage version handles a closet; the privacy set with its thumbturn is the wrong function for a door nobody locks. If you are matching a different brand across the same hall, the Baldwin Estate 5103 comes in passage as well as privacy with the 5048 rose, and in left hand and right hand half dummy versions for a fixed door leaf. The Milano privacy set itself is ordered left hand or right hand.
16) Can I use a Falcon or Corbin Russwin cylindrical lever in place of the Emtek Milano privacy set on an apartment bedroom door?
They are built for a different job. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Both are passage function, so neither locks from inside the way a bed and bath door needs. The Milano set is a non-keyed privacy lock that comes complete with latch and strike plate.
17) The bathroom door needs to be opened from the hall in an emergency - does the Emtek Milano privacy set do that, or do I need a different lock?
The Milano is a privacy/bed/bath set, the standard bed and bath arrangement. Where a facility needs staff override or a lock built for a patient or resident room, the Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is a Grade 1 F87 asylum cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob on a Schlage C keyway. Those are keyed institutional functions rather than a residential thumbturn.
18) What should I use for the entry door if the interior doors are Emtek Milano privacy leversets?
An entry opening needs a keyed function, which the Milano privacy set is not. The Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead are entry levers covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Match the finish family to the Milano interior trim, which runs from Flat Black to Polished Nickel and Unlacquered Brass.
19) I need a matching lever on a closet or a fixed pull door. Does the Milano privacy set cover that?
No. Privacy is a latching, thumbturn-locking function only. A closet or hall door needs a passage set, and a false door or inactive leaf needs a dummy. Comparable options for those openings include the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever and the 5103 half dummy, which comes handed left or right.
20) Is the Emtek Milano lever solid brass or plated?
Brass through the material and the substrate, not a plated zinc body. It sits in Emtek's Brass collection in an American Classic style, which is why the rosette and finish choices are as wide as they are.
21) Is a keyless keypad lever an option instead of the Emtek Milano privacy leverset?
For an interior bed or bath door, no - the Milano privacy set is non-electronic and non-keyed, locked by thumbturn from inside. A keypad set answers a different need: the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those control who enters a room; a privacy lock secures someone already inside it.
22) Does a dummy lever work in place of an Emtek Milano privacy leverset on a double door?
On the inactive leaf, yes - a dummy is pull-only trim with no latch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 comes as a left hand and a right hand half dummy with the 5048 rose, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty lever. On the active leaf you still need the latching set; the Milano privacy set is sold complete with latch and strike plate.
