Emtek 71011.MDI.RH.MB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Medici passage lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door, and what bore does it need?
The Medici lever passage set drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inches up to 2-1/4 inches thick. That range takes in the usual 1-3/4 inch door and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older homes. One thing to watch on the ordering side: if you spec the STRETTO rosette on a privacy thumbturn version, that one needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep instead.
2) Does the Emtek Medici passage set come with a 2-3/4 inch backset latch or do I have to order it?
Backset is a required choice at order time, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The standard latch shipped is the 2-3/8 inch backset, so if your existing bore is 2-3/4 inches off the door edge you have to specify 2-3/4 or you will get a latch that does not reach. Those two are the only backsets used on residential bored doors, so measure edge of door to center of the hole and pick accordingly.
3) Is a passage lever the right function for a bedroom or bathroom door?
No. Passage is a hall and closet function, non-keyed and with no lock at all, so the Medici lever latches the door and turns from both sides at all times. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy set with a thumbturn, and for an exterior or lockable office door you want a keyed entry set. Use the passage version on closets, pantries, hallways and any door that only needs to stay shut.
4) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Emtek Medici lever?
Yes, and it is not optional here. The Medici is ordered as left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door, on the side it swings away from: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door. Get this wrong on a cast lever and the handle points the wrong way, since a passage lever like this is not field reversible the way a plain tubular knob is.
5) Can I use the Emtek Medici lever on a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is a residential lockset, tubular, and carries no commercial grade rating, so it is the wrong choice for a corridor or any opening on a spec that calls for ANSI grading. For a commercial passage lever, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty, fire rated, non-handed and covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Keep the Medici for houses, model units and high-end residential interiors.
6) What is a straight equivalent to the Emtek Medici passage lever if I want a decorative lever with a matching privacy version on the bedroom doors?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 lever with the 5048 rose covers the same residential decorative role and is offered in a passage version and a privacy version, so hall and closet doors and bedroom or bath doors can carry the same lever design. The Emtek Medici set is a passage lever, non-keyed, and does not latch or lock from either side. If half-dummy trim is needed on the inactive leaf of a pair, Baldwin lists the Estate 5103 in left hand and right hand half dummy.
7) The Medici passage lever is handed. What passage lever do I order if I do not want to track left and right hand on the job?
The Emtek Medici passage set is ordered in Left Hand or Right Hand. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, so neither has to be handed at the time of order.
8) My door is 2 inches thick. Can I use the Emtek Medici passage lever, and if not what fits?
The Emtek Medici 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 2 inch door, 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 Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
9) Can the Emtek Medici passage lever be keyed for an office or entry door?
No. The Emtek Medici lever is a non-keyed passage set, so both levers always turn and the door is held only by the latch. For a keyed opening, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 keyed entry/office cylindrical lever lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Deltana Manchester 6201 is an entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
10) I want the same lever look on a bathroom door that needs to lock. What do I use with the Emtek Medici passage lever?
The Emtek Medici set is passage only and does not lock. For the bath or bedroom door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is a decorative privacy lever, 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.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek levers and should I choose it?
CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from both faces, and the 28 degree latch comes with it. The other two choices are the 28 degree rotation latch on its own, or the standard latch. The 28 degree latch takes less lever rotation to retract, which is easier on hands and matters on doors people work through all day. If the look of a screwless rose matters on a feature door, CF is the one to pick.
12) Which rosettes and finishes can I get on the Emtek Medici lost wax cast bronze lever?
Four rosettes are offered, the #11, #12, #14 and #15, in two finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). The lever itself can be paired with any Lost Wax Bronze rosette, which is how you match it across a house where the other openings already carry a rosette shape you want to hold onto. There is also a split finish field on the order if you need one face different from the other.
13) Does the Emtek Medici passage set include the latch and strike or do I order those separately?
It ships as a complete set: levers, rosettes, latch and strike plate. Nothing else to add for a standard opening. You do get a choice on the latch faceplate, round corner or square corner, so match that to the mortise already cut in your door edge rather than re-routing it.
14) I need a passage lever for apartment interior doors but do not need cast bronze. What is the simpler option?
The Emtek Medici passage set is a lost wax cast bronze lever offered in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze. Where the decorative bronze is not the point, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Bravura offers Grade 2 passage leversets in several trims, including the Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and the Tampa with square trim.
15) Is a dummy lever the same thing as the Emtek Medici passage set?
No. The Emtek Medici passage set includes a latch and strike plate and the lever retracts the latch, so the door stays closed until it is operated. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch at all, used on a closet or the inactive leaf of a pair. Dummy trim includes the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy, a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty trim, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy at Grade 2 medium duty, and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever.
16) Does the Emtek Medici lever come in a keypad version for a door that people need to get through without a key?
No, the Emtek Medici passage set is a mechanical, non-electronic lever. For keyless access on a similar bore, 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, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
17) What is the difference between the Emtek Medici passage lever and the Accentra Augusta 5301LN passage lever?
The Emtek Medici is a residential lost wax cast bronze passage lever ordered by rosette style and handing, fitting a 2-1/8 inch bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock with passage/closet function from the 5300 Series, and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock with Augusta trim from the 4600 Series. Both Accentra sets carry a stated ANSI grade; the Medici is specified by its bronze casting and rosette design instead.
18) I need a matching dummy lever for a closet pair, does Emtek Medici cover that?
The Medici passage set is a working latching set, not a dummy, so on an inactive leaf or a false door you need a dummy trim instead. Among dummy levers we carry, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes in left and right hand to match a 5103 passage on the active leaf, and on the commercial side the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 single dummy trim and the 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 version.
19) Is the Emtek Medici lever electronic or keypad operated?
No, it is a purely mechanical non-electronic passage lever with no keyway and no code entry. If you want keyless operation on an interior or utility door, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever runs passage function on 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors with an adjustable backset.
