Emtek 72011.MDI.RH.MB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Medici privacy lever fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Medici lever privacy set drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. That range takes in both 1-3/4 inch doors and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older homes. One exception on prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the thumbturn privacy needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation instead.
2) What backset do I order for an Emtek Medici privacy lever, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Backset is a required choice at order time, either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, and those are the two backsets used on residential doors. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole before you order. The standard latch supplied is the 2-3/8 inch; the 2-3/4 inch has to be specified. Get it wrong and the latch will not reach the strike prep already cut in your jamb.
3) Is the Emtek Medici privacy lever handed, and how do I pick left or right?
Handing matters here. The Medici lever is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so it is not a reversible lever you can flip on site. Stand outside the room the door swings into: if the hinges are on your left and the door swings away from you, that is left hand. Order the wrong hand and the lever points the wrong way.
4) Does the Emtek Medici privacy set lock with a key, or just a thumbturn?
No key. This is a privacy function bed and bath lockset, non-keyed, so it locks from the inside by thumbturn and has an emergency release on the outside. If you need a lever someone can lock and unlock with a key from the hall side, this is the wrong function. For a keyed entry lever, look at something like the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever or the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway.
5) Can I use the Emtek Medici privacy lever on commercial doors in an apartment building or office?
It is built and catalogued as residential hardware, a tubular cylindrical lockset in cast bronze. For a commercial opening, especially anything on a fire-rated door or in a corridor taking heavy traffic, go to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lock instead. Comparable privacy options include the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever, rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 1 privacy lock if you need a fire rated unit. Single-family and multi-family unit interiors, bedrooms and baths, are where the Medici belongs.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Medici privacy leverset from another decorative lever brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative-brand match, since it is also a privacy/bed/bath lever set. Both are privacy function, so both operate with an inside turn and no key. The Emtek Medici lever is a bronze privacy set built on a tubular lock, and it is offered in Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB) with a choice of #11, #12, #14 or #15 rosette. The Baldwin 5103 privacy is specified with its 5048 rose. Choose by which rose profile and finish family matches the rest of the doors.
7) Can an Emtek Medici privacy lever be used on a commercial corridor or classroom door?
The Medici lever is a residential privacy set, so a commercial opening that needs a graded lock should use a commercial cylindrical lever instead. For a privacy function at commercial duty, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a door thickness range of 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, though it carries a knob rather than a lever. For a lever with a grade behind it, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
8) My door is 2 inches thick - what lever should I use if the Emtek Medici privacy set does not cover it?
The Medici privacy set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers each cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note those are entry and passage functions rather than privacy, so confirm the function the room actually needs before ordering.
9) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek levers?
Three latch choices, and they change the feel and the look. The standard latch is the normal tubular latch. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens how far the lever travels before it retracts, so the handle drops less. The CF mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a cleaner face, and it ships with the 28 degree latch included. If the screwless rose matters to the room, CF is the one to pick.
10) Does the Emtek Medici privacy lever come with the latch and strike, or do I buy those separately?
It ships complete. The Medici privacy set includes the latch and the strike plate, so there is nothing else to source to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge rather than re-routing.
11) What finishes does the Emtek Medici lost wax bronze lever come in, and will they match my other bronze doors?
Two finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). These are cast bronze from Emtek's Tuscany Bronze collection, a living finish that will shift over time with handling, so a lever installed today will not look identical to one added in five years unless both are handled the same way. If you are outfitting a whole house or a run of units, buy the openings together. There is also a split finish option at order time if the two faces of the door need to differ.
12) What else could I buy instead of the Emtek Medici privacy lever for a bedroom or bathroom door?
Depends what you are matching. For another decorative solid-brass privacy lever in the same design register, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer. For a budget interior privacy lever, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Medici's distinction is lost wax cast bronze with a choice of four rosettes, which is a finish and design decision rather than a hardware-performance one.
13) I want the Medici lever on a closet and a bathroom in the same hallway. Can I get matching hardware without a lock on the closet?
Yes, that is the normal way to do a hall. The Medici privacy set is the bed and bath opening, with a thumbturn. For the closet or a hall door you want the same Medici lever in passage function, no locking, so the rosette and lever design read the same down the run. Order both in the same finish and same rosette number, and specify the same latch option so the lever travel feels identical door to door.
14) What should I order to match the Emtek Medici privacy lever on a closet or hall door that does not need to lock?
A privacy set has a turn on the inside; a hall or closet door only needs a latch. In the decorative bronze look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the passage version of the same Estate lever whose privacy counterpart is the 5103 privacy. Among commercial levers, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. The Medici privacy set itself is non-keyed with the turn on the room side.
15) What do I use on the inactive leaf of a pair when the active door has an Emtek Medici privacy lever?
An inactive or false door takes a dummy trim, which mounts to the face with no latch behind it. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is offered left hand and right hand as separate part numbers, which keeps the Estate lever look consistent across the pair. On the commercial side, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. The Medici privacy set itself ships as a complete set with latch and strike plate and is ordered left hand or right hand.
16) Is an entry or entrance lever a substitute for the Emtek Medici privacy lever?
No. An entrance lever is keyed from the outside and locks a door people are meant to be shut out of; the Medici Medici privacy set is non-keyed with a turn on the room side, for bed and bath doors. Entry levers such as the Deltana 5851 Claremont and the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock are built for exterior and office openings, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and a 2-3/8 inch backset. If the door needs a key, one of those applies; if it needs privacy only, the Medici lever is the right function.
17) Which lever should be specified for a healthcare or institutional room instead of a bronze privacy lever?
Patient and utility rooms are usually written for an asylum or institution function rather than privacy. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is a Grade 1 asylum/institution/utility lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Where a graded privacy function is wanted, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever over a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The Emtek Medici lever is a residential cast bronze privacy set.
18) If I am standardizing interior levers across a building, what are the graded lever families to compare against an Emtek Medici set?
For a building-wide standard, the graded cylindrical families are the ones to weigh. Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series gives a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, Falcon T Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release, Falcon B Series is a Grade 2 medium duty non-handed passage lever, and Design Hardware X Series is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors with the J Series as its Grade 2 counterpart. The Emtek Medici lever is a residential cast bronze set specified by finish, rosette and handing rather than by grade.
19) Which rosettes can I get with the Emtek Medici lever?
Four lost wax bronze rosettes are offered with the Medici lever: #11, #12, #14 and #15. Emtek allows the Medici to be ordered with any of its lost wax bronze rosettes, which is how you match the lever to the rest of a bronze hardware package in a house without changing the lever design.
20) Is the Emtek Medici lever solid bronze all the way through or plated?
Lost wax cast bronze, substrate and all, not a plated finish over a lighter base. Lost wax casting is what gives the Medici its crisp surface detail. That matters for two reasons: the weight and feel in the hand is different from a stamped lever, and because the bronze is solid, the finish wears rather than flakes.
21) What is the difference between the Emtek Medici privacy lever and a keypad lever set for a bathroom or office door?
A keypad lever controls who gets in by code; a privacy set only stops the door from being opened from outside while someone is inside. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is a passage function with ADA compliance and covers doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination over the same thickness range, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Emtek Medici privacy set is non-electronic and non-keyed, in cast bronze with a choice of rosette.
