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

1) What is a passage leverset and do I need a keyed or privacy lock instead?
A passage set latches the door closed but never locks. There is no key and no thumbturn on the Emtek Ribbon & Reed passage set, so it is for halls, closets, pantries, and any door that just needs to stay shut. For a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy function with an interior turn, and for an exterior or office door you want a keyed entry function. The Baldwin Estate 5103 lever comes in passage, privacy, and half dummy variants if you are matching functions across a house, and a dummy lever is the one to use on a fixed or false door where nothing has to latch at all.
2) What comes in the box with the Emtek Ribbon & Reed passage set, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes you choose, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to order for a standard opening. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner to match whatever is already mortised into your door edge, and the standard latch is set for a 2-3/8 inch backset, so call out 2-3/4 inch when you order if that is what your door is bored for.
3) Can I match the Emtek Ribbon & Reed lever to the rosettes and finishes on the rest of my doors?
You can order the Ribbon & Reed lever with any of ten brass rosettes: #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon & Reed, Rope, Watford, and Wilshire. Seven finishes are offered, all on solid brass: 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 option if you need one face to match a different room.
4) Is the Emtek Ribbon & Reed leverset suitable for a commercial building or apartment turnover?
It is a residential product, brass tubular construction with a passage function. For a commercial corridor, school, or high traffic multi-family opening you want a graded cylindrical lock instead. Passage options in the comparable range include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant, the Design Hardware X75 Grade 1, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta at Grade 2. Use the Emtek where the look is the point, on interior residential and light hospitality doors.
5) My doors are 2 inches thick. Will this Emtek passage set work?
The specification for the Ribbon & Reed passage set gives a door thickness of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. For a thicker door, the Falcon K101 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches and the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches. There is a door thickness field on the order form, so note your actual thickness when you place the order.
6) Can I put the Emtek Ribbon and Reed passage lever on a 2 inch thick door?
The Emtek Ribbon and Reed passage set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
7) Which decorative passage lever is the nearest cross-brand equivalent to the Emtek Ribbon and Reed?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the closest peer - a decorative residential passage lever sold as a lever-and-rose set, the same non-keyed hall and closet function the Emtek Ribbon and Reed performs. The Emtek differs in that the lever can be paired with any of ten brass rosette styles, including #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Watford and Wilshire, while the Baldwin 5103 is specified with the 5048 rose.
8) I need a bed or bath lever in the same look - what do I order instead of the passage set?
Passage is the wrong function for a bedroom or bathroom because it has no locking mechanism at all - the Emtek Ribbon and Reed is non-keyed passage. For a privacy function in a comparable decorative lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a privacy lever with the 5048 rose. In commercial-grade trim, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
9) The opening needs to be keyed - what takes the place of the Ribbon and Reed passage set?
The Emtek Ribbon and Reed passage set is non-keyed and accepts no cylinder, so a keyed opening needs a different lock. The Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead are entry-function levers for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. In commercial trim, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 keyed with clutching for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, 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) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek leversets?
CF means the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so you get a clean face on both sides of the door. Choosing CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. If you do not care about visible screws, the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on its own are the other two choices.
11) What else could I buy instead of the Emtek Ribbon & Reed if I want a decorative brass passage lever?
The closest decorative equivalent we carry is the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose, which is the other high end residential lever line. For a plainer contemporary look at lower cost, Bravura passage leversets come as Miramar with round trim (US4 satin brass), Atlanta with round trim, Orlando with round trim, and Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage lever in satin nickel. None of those offer the Emtek rosette range or the unlacquered brass option.
12) Does the Emtek Ribbon & Reed lever need any special door prep?
Standard prep is all it takes, 2-1/8 inch cross bore with the latch bore at 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. The one exception in the Emtek rosette range is the STRETTO rosette, which needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a two hole door prep for thumbturn privacy. That does not apply to a passage set ordered with the standard brass rosettes.
13) Does the Emtek Ribbon and Reed passage set have to be handed the way a commercial passage lever does?
Yes - the Emtek Ribbon and Reed passage set is ordered left hand or right hand. Several commercial passage levers are not: the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock and the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever are both non-handed, so one part number covers either swing. That matters on a fleet order where the doors have not been surveyed for handing.
14) What passage lever do I specify instead for a school or hospital corridor door?
The Emtek Ribbon and Reed is a residential brass passage set. For institutional corridors, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 passage with non-handed levers and a fire rating, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is Grade 1 passage/closet, vandal resistant and fire rated. The Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. For standardizing a whole facility at medium duty, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed passage lever and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) What do I use on a closet or French door that needs a matching lever but no working latch?
A passage set like the Emtek Ribbon and Reed includes a latch and strike plate and is handed left or right, so it is not the part for an inactive leaf. For a non-operating lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a left hand half dummy and a right hand half dummy with the 5048 rose. In commercial trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy lever and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy; the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever.
16) Is a Kwikset or Bravura passage lever the same thing as the Emtek Ribbon and Reed?
They perform the same job but they are not the same class of part. The Emtek Ribbon and Reed is a solid brass residential tubular passage leverset built around a choice of brass rosette. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa are also Grade 2 passage leversets, the Tampa with square trim rather than round.
17) If the door needs code entry rather than a key, what replaces the Emtek passage leverset?
The Emtek Ribbon and Reed is a non-electronic mechanical passage set. Where the opening needs code entry in a lever, 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 Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version over 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, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
18) Is this Emtek passage lever an electronic or keypad lock?
No, it is a purely mechanical brass leverset with no electronics and no key. If you need code entry on an interior door, the Lockey 1150 and 2835 mechanical keypad lever sets run passage function without wiring or batteries, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock.
19) I want the same lever look but at a lower duty level for light residential traffic - what else is a passage lever?
The Emtek Ribbon and Reed is a brass residential passage set with a choice of rosette. Simpler passage levers in the same non-keyed function include the Callan Asheville, a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever for interior hall and closet doors, Grade 3, reversible, supplied with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD is the same Delta passage lever with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike.
20) Which Accentra passage lever lines up with the Emtek Ribbon and Reed on function?
Both the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Accentra 4601LN carry the same passage, hall and closet function as the Emtek Ribbon and Reed and are Grade 2 cylindrical lever locks. They differ by series - the 5301LN is 5300 Series and the 4601LN is 4600 Series with Augusta trim design - while the Emtek is a brass Ribbon and Reed lever ordered against a chosen brass rosette.
