Emtek EMTEK-KIT-PRIV-103 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Emtek Emergency Release Tool used for?
The Emergency Release Tool is designed to disengage privacy locks from the outside in emergency situations. It fits into the small hole on the exterior side of privacy locksets to override the privacy function.
2) Which Emtek privacy locks are compatible with this tool?
This tool works with most Emtek privacy locksets that feature emergency release holes. Check your specific lockset model to confirm compatibility with the emergency release function.

This kit includes 5 emergency release tools. The pack provides multiple tools for different locations or as spares for homeowners and property managers.
4) How do you use the emergency release tool?
Insert the tool straight into the emergency release hole on the exterior side of the privacy lock. Push firmly until you feel the mechanism disengage, then turn the knob or lever to open the door.
5) What situations require an emergency release tool?
Common scenarios include locked bathroom doors when someone needs assistance, bedroom doors locked by children, or any privacy-locked room where emergency access is needed from the outside.
6) Where should you store emergency release tools?
Store tools in accessible locations near privacy-locked doors. Keep them high enough to prevent small children from accessing them but within easy reach for adults in emergencies.
7) Are these tools reusable?
Yes, these emergency release tools are designed for repeated use. They are made from durable materials that withstand multiple emergency releases without breaking or bending.
8) Can you install privacy locks without emergency release?
Most building codes require emergency release capability on privacy locks, especially in bathrooms. Check local building codes and manufacturer specifications before installation.
9) What size is the emergency release hole?
Most privacy locks feature standardized emergency release holes. These tools are sized to fit common Emtek privacy lockset specifications. Verify hole size matches your specific lockset model.
10) Will these work with other brands of privacy locks?
These tools are specifically designed for Emtek privacy locks. Other brands may have different emergency release mechanisms or hole sizes. Use manufacturer-specific tools for best results.
11) How do you maintain emergency release tools?
Keep tools clean and dry to prevent corrosion. Test them periodically with your privacy locks to ensure proper function. Replace if they become bent or damaged.
