Emtek KIT-PRIV-103 Emergency Release Tool — Pack of 5
The Emtek KIT-PRIV-103 is the OEM emergency release tool (also called an emergency key or privacy pin) designed for Emtek privacy locksets. When a privacy lock is engaged from the inside — on a bathroom, bedroom, or office door — this tool inserts into the small pinhole on the exterior trim to disengage the lock without damaging the hardware. Buying in a pack of 5 means property managers, facilities teams, and contractors always have a spare on hand across multiple units or job sites.
Who Needs This
- Property managers and landlords maintaining multi-unit residential buildings with Emtek privacy sets
- General contractors and remodelers installing or servicing Emtek door hardware
- Facilities and MRO teams in hospitality, healthcare, or institutional settings using Emtek privacy locks
- Locksmiths stocking OEM replacement tools for Emtek service calls
How to Use
Insert the pointed tip of the emergency release tool into the small pinhole located on the exterior face of the Emtek privacy lever or knob trim. Apply light inward pressure until the interior button releases and the lock disengages. No special tools or lock knowledge required.

Emtek EMTEK-KIT-PRIV-103 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Emtek Emergency Release Tool used for?

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.

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?
