Emtek 8107.ME.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Merrimack passage leverset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Merrimack passage set drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the latch covers both common backsets, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, selected when you order. One caveat: if you pair it with a STRETTO rosette, that rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch bore hole and a 2-hole door prep instead of standard.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Merrimack lever?
Yes. The Merrimack is ordered left hand or right hand, so determine handing before you order. 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. Ordering the wrong hand gets you a lever pointing the wrong way on the door.
3) The Merrimack passage lever is residential - what should I use on a commercial opening instead?
The Emtek Merrimack passage set is designated for residential use, so for a commercial corridor or office door step to a graded cylindrical passage lock. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lock, also fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. For a medium duty commercial opening, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 passage lever with a non-handed design.
4) Will a dummy lever work in place of the Merrimack passage set?
No - they are different functions. The Merrimack passage set includes a latch and strike plate and actually latches the door, with the lever retracting the latch. A dummy is surface trim with no latch at all, used on an inactive leaf or a closet door held by a ball catch. If a dummy is what the opening needs, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a left hand and a right hand half dummy with the 5048 rose, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed lever.
5) What is the closest decorative equivalent to the Emtek Merrimack passage leverset from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative counterpart. Both are residential-style passage levers with no keying and no lock function, so either latches the door and releases from both sides. The Merrimack lever is brass and can be ordered with a Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, or Rope rosette, with the option of a CF mechanism that leaves no exposed screws on the rosette; the Baldwin pairs its 5103 lever with the 5048 rose. Handing matters on both - the Merrimack is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand.
6) I need the same look but on a bedroom or bathroom door - what takes the place of the Merrimack passage set?
The Merrimack set is passage function only, meaning it has no locking mechanism at all. For a bedroom or bath you need a privacy function. In the same decorative family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a privacy lever with the 5048 rose. On the utility side, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - which passage lever fits instead of the Merrimack?
The Merrimack passage set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lock is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
8) What finishes does the Emtek Merrimack lever come in, and can I mix two on one door?
Seven finishes: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). There is also a split finish field on the order form, so you can call out a different finish on each side of the door, for example chrome on a bath side and unlacquered brass in a hallway.
9) What is a comparable decorative brass passage lever to the Emtek Merrimack?
The closest peer in the decorative residential category is the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose, which is the same passage function in a designer lever. If you are after a Deltana lever in a similar vein, the Manchester 6201 and Linstead 6431 cover 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, but those are entry function, not passage, so they are not a like-for-like swap on a closet or hall door.
10) What is the CF mechanism option on the Emtek Merrimack leverset?
CF stands for concealed fastener. Choose it and the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face, which is the cleaner look most designers spec. The CF option ships with the 28 degree rotation latch included. If you do not need the concealed rosette you can order the 28 degree latch on its own, or the standard latch.
11) Is the latch and strike included with the Emtek Merrimack passage set, or do I buy them separately?
It ships as a complete set: levers, rosettes, latch, and strike plate. You choose the latch faceplate corner, round or square, to match the existing mortise in the door edge, so an older door with square-corner prep does not need patching.
12) Is the Emtek Merrimack a tubular lock or a mortise lock?
Tubular, cylindrical bored construction. That means it installs in a round bored opening (2-1/8 inch cross bore with an edge bore for the latch) rather than a rectangular mortise pocket cut into the door edge. If the existing doors are mortise prepped, this is not a direct replacement.
13) What is a simpler passage leverset than the Emtek Merrimack for a rental turnover?
The Merrimack is a brass designer set with three rosette choices and seven finishes, ordered by hand. If you want fewer decisions per door, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. Callan's Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and Bravura offers Grade 2 passage leversets in the Atlanta and Orlando round trim and Tampa square trim.
14) The Merrimack is non-keyed - what do I order for the doors on the same job that need to lock with a key?
The Merrimack passage set has no cylinder and no keyway, so entry doors need a different lock. For a residential decorative match, Deltana offers entry levers in the Claremont 5851, the Manchester 6201, the Morant 6411, and the Linstead 6431, the last three rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. On the commercial side, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset.
15) Does anything offer keyless code entry in a lever like the Merrimack?
The Merrimack is a mechanical tubular lever with no electronic component. For code entry in a lever format, 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, with a 2835DC double combination version. 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, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2.
16) Is there a passage lever that avoids handing, unlike the Merrimack?
The Merrimack is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, so the hand has to be confirmed before the order goes in. If you would rather stock one part for every door, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers. The Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible and ships with an adjustable latch and strike.
17) What passage lever should I standardize on across a school or healthcare facility rather than the Merrimack?
The Merrimack is a residential brass set. For facility standardization, the graded cylindrical families give you one lever design across several functions. The Dexter C1000 series runs Grade 1 passage with clutching non-keyed levers, classroom, classroom security, and asylum functions. Design Hardware's X Series X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors and the J Series J75 is the Grade 2 equivalent. Accentra's Augusta trim appears as the 5301LN Grade 2 passage, the 4601LN Grade 2 passage, and the 455LN Grade 1 single dummy.
18) What is the difference between the 28 degree latch and the standard latch on an Emtek lever?
Both retract the same bolt; the 28 degree latch rotates through a shorter arc, so the lever travels less before the latch pulls back. It is the latch that comes with the CF concealed-fastener mechanism. The standard latch is the conventional rotation. Either is available on the Merrimack passage set as a latch selection at order time.
