Emtek Lost Wax Cast Bronze Leversets - Napoli Lever, Privacy Set

Yes. The Napoli privacy set works on doors from 1-3/8 inches up to 2-1/4 inches thick using a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, so a 1-3/4 inch door (the common commercial and modern residential thickness) is right in the middle of the range. One exception on prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the thumbturn side needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation instead of the standard single 2-1/8 inch cross bore.

Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore hole. If that's 2-3/8 inches you take the standard latch, which is what ships unless you say otherwise. If it's 2-3/4 inches you have to call that out on the order, since backset is a required selection on the Napoli privacy set and both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 are offered. Those are the two backsets used on residential and light commercial door prep, so an existing bored door is almost certainly one or the other.

Handing has to be specified. The Napoli lever comes left hand or right hand, and unlike a knob it cannot be flipped in the field, so getting it wrong means an exchange. Stand outside the door (the side you push from, the hallway side for a bedroom or bath) and see which edge the hinges are on: hinges on your left is left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. Order every opening the same way you would spec any cast lever, one at a time, because a bank of bedroom doors in a house rarely all swing the same direction.

It isn't keyed. The Napoli privacy set is a non-keyed bed and bath function, meaning it locks from the inside with a thumbturn and has an emergency release on the outside rosette rather than a cylinder. That's the correct function for bedrooms and bathrooms. If you need a keyed opening (an exterior door, an office, a closet you want to secure), a privacy set is the wrong choice and you want an entrance or keyed function lock instead.

No, it's built as residential hardware, cast solid bronze trim for houses and high end interiors. For a commercial corridor, a school, or an apartment building where you need a graded cylindrical lock, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial lever instead. The Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. For a graded privacy specifically, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy function cylindrical lock with a fire rating on record.

In most cases yes. It uses standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep and takes either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is what a typical bored door is already cut for, so a like-for-like swap on an existing bedroom or bath door usually needs no new drilling. Two things to check before you order: the rosette diameter has to cover any wear ring left by the old trim, and the STRETTO rosette is the odd one out, needing a 1-1/4 inch bore with 2-hole prep for the thumbturn rather than the standard single bore.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest peer in function and character. Both are privacy/bed/bath levers with a rose-mounted decorative lever rather than a commercial escutcheon trim. The Napoli is lost wax cast bronze, offered in Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB), and the rose is chosen separately from #11, #12, #14 and #15 rosettes, while the Baldwin 5103 is supplied with its 5048 rose as a matched set. If the design intent is a bronze finish with a selectable rose profile, the Napoli covers it; if a single fixed rose design is acceptable, the 5103 privacy set does the same job on the bedroom or bath door.

The Napoli privacy lever is a residential lockset, so for a commercial restroom door the graded options are the better fit. The Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock that is fire rated, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever covering a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Both use a knob or commercial lever trim rather than a cast bronze decorative lever. Where the opening is a hotel guest bath, a model unit, or another door where appearance drives the specification, the Napoli remains the design choice.

Privacy function on the Napoli means a bed and bath door with a thumbturn, so a hall, closet, or pantry door needs a passage lockset instead. Within the decorative brands, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose carries the same lever and rose across to a non-locking opening, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is available in left hand and right hand for a door leaf that only needs a pull. Matching the Napoli itself on a non-locking door means moving to the passage version of the Napoli lever rather than adapting the privacy set.

No, and this is the most common mis-order on bed and bath doors. The Napoli is a privacy/bed/bath lockset, which locks from inside the room. Passage levers such as the Bravura Atlanta, Bravura Orlando, and Bravura Tampa are all Grade 2 passage/hall/closet function, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset. They latch the door but do not lock at all, so a bathroom or bedroom specified with one of them will fail inspection on privacy. Confirm the function before ordering, not the lever design.

The Napoli privacy set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick on a 2-1/8 inch bore standard prep. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, while the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lock is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Those are commercial locks with commercial trim and different functions, so on a thick decorative door confirm the leaf thickness first and select the function you actually need from that range.

The Napoli is a residential lockset, and rated openings need a fire rated commercial lock. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lock, also fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are non-keyed passage function, so they free-latch the corridor side. The Napoli is the interior room hardware behind those doors, not the rated opening itself.

Nothing else to buy for the door itself. The Napoli privacy set ships complete with the latch and the strike plate along with both levers and the rosettes. The latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge. What you do choose at order time is the rosette style, the latch type, the finish, the backset and the handing.

Three choices, and they change how the lever feels and looks. The standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens the travel of the lever, so it releases with less wrist movement. The CF mechanism is the one people pick for appearance: rosettes mount with no exposed screws, and it comes with the 28 degree latch included, so you get the shorter throw and the clean rose face together. If you're matching existing Emtek doors in the same house, match whichever mechanism is already there so the roses look alike.

Yes. The Napoli lever can be ordered on any Lost Wax Bronze rosette, with #11, #12, #14 and #15 offered on the privacy set. That's how you keep a whole floor consistent: pick one rosette shape and run it across passage, privacy and entry openings while varying the lever. Finish is Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze, both from the Tuscany Bronze collection, and a split finish can be called out on the order if you want different finishes inside and out.

The closest peer in the same decorative residential category is the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose, which is the same bed and bath function in a designer solid-trim line. Baldwin also builds the 5103 as a passage lever and as left and right hand half dummies, so you can run one lever design across every door in the house the same way the Napoli line does. For a budget privacy lever rather than a cast decorative one, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. It is a plated residential lever supplied as a fixed design. The Emtek Napoli is lost wax cast bronze with a selectable rosette and hand-applied Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze finishes, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch on standard prep as well. For a large turn of rental bedroom doors where the hardware is replaced on tenant change, the Breton is the volume option; for units where the hardware is part of the finish package, the Napoli is.

The Napoli is a non-keyed privacy lockset, so any opening that has to be keyed takes a different lock. The Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead lever entry sets are decorative keyed entry levers covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Deltana 5851 Claremont is an entry lever in the same family. On the commercial side, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset. Keep the Napoli for the interior bed and bath doors and specify a keyed lever where the door has to secure.

The Napoli privacy set is ordered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so the handing has to be confirmed per opening. The Falcon K101 and Falcon B101 are both described as non-handed lever designs, which means one part number covers both swings. On a multi-family or hospitality job where the doors swing both ways, a non-handed commercial lever cuts the stock to one line item; for a Napoli order, the swing of each door needs to be established before the purchase order goes out, and the backset chosen as 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch at the same time.

A keypad lever is a different kind of lock and does not do what a privacy set does. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set are both passage function with a code entry, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those control who enters a room from the outside. The Napoli is a non-electronic privacy set: it locks from inside the bedroom or bath with no code and no key. For a home office or a supply room the keypad makes sense; for a bath door it does not.

No. A dummy is a surface-mounted pull with no latch and no lock at all. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes left hand and right hand, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 non-keyed single dummy trim, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. None of them latch a door. The Napoli privacy set is sold complete with latch and strike plate and requires the 2-1/8 inch bore prep. Use a dummy only on the inactive leaf of a pair or on a closet door held by a ball catch, and use the privacy set where the door actually has to latch and lock.

The Napoli lever is lost wax cast bronze, a solid casting rather than a plated or tubular stamping, in the Tuscany Bronze collection. The Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze finishes are living finishes on that substrate, so they change over time with handling instead of wearing through the way plating does. That's the reason people choose it for interior bedroom and bath doors in a house they intend to keep.

No, it's a purely mechanical tubular lock with a thumbturn, no batteries, keypad, or wiring. If you actually want keyless entry on an interior or light-duty opening, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock fitting 1 3/16 to 2 inch doors with no power at all, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock in Grade 2.
