Emtek 72011.OCL.RH.MB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Octagon privacy lever fit a standard pre-drilled interior door?
Yes, if the door is prepped with the usual 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which is what this Octagon lever privacy set is built for. Latch backset is either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches and you pick it when ordering; 2-3/8 is the standard residential backset. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn, so that rosette will not drop into a plain single-bore door.
2) What is included with the Emtek Octagon privacy leverset, and what still has to be bought separately?
It ships as a complete set: levers, rosettes, latch and strike plate. Privacy function means a thumbturn inside and an emergency release outside, so no cylinder and no keys are involved. What you still choose is the backset, finish, rosette style and handing. Nothing extra is needed to hang it on a correctly bored door.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Octagon lever?
Yes. The Octagon privacy set is handed, left hand or right hand, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side the hinges are on before you order. Unlike a lot of commercial cylindrical levers that ship non-handed and field reversible, this one is built to hand.
4) Can I use the Emtek Octagon privacy lever on a commercial office or school door?
The Emtek Octagon lost wax cast bronze lever set is designated residential. For a commercial opening, ANSI/BHMA graded cylindrical levers are the usual specification: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 and keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) What is the closest decorative alternative to the Emtek Octagon lever privacy set for a bedroom or bath door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative-grade equivalent: it is a privacy/bed/bath function lever set like the Emtek Octagon privacy set. The Emtek Octagon set is a solid bronze residential lever on a lost wax cast bronze rosette, offered in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze with a choice of #11, #12, #14 or #15 rosette, so the difference is largely in the trim styling and finish program rather than in the door function.
6) What is the difference between the Standard latch, the 28 Degree latch, and the CF Mechanism option on Emtek leversets?
Three choices on this Octagon privacy set. Standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch shortens the lever swing, which some people prefer on levers in tight spaces. The CF Mechanism gives rosettes with no exposed screws for a cleaner face, and it comes with the 28 Degree latch included. If screw-free rosettes matter to you aesthetically, order CF and you get the 28 degree latch automatically.
7) Which finishes and rosettes can I get on the Emtek lost wax cast bronze Octagon lever?
Two bronze finishes, Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB), both part of Emtek's Tuscany Bronze collection. Rosette choices are #11, #12, #14 and #15, and the lever can be ordered with any lost wax bronze rosette, so you can match rosette shapes already used elsewhere in the house. There is also a split finish option if you want a different finish inside versus outside.
8) What is a comparable decorative privacy lever if I do not want cast bronze?
For a residential decorative privacy lever in another line, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer we carry. If budget is the driver rather than looks, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lockset that fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither of those is lost wax cast bronze, which is the point of the Emtek Octagon, so if you are matching other Emtek bronze hardware in the house stay in the Emtek line.
9) Can I get the Emtek Octagon lever as a passage lever or a keyed entry instead of privacy?
This particular Octagon configuration is the privacy set, non-keyed, with a thumbturn for bed and bath doors. It is not a keyed lock and has no cylinder. Emtek builds the Octagon lever in other functions, so for hall and closet doors you want the passage version of the same lever and rosette so the openings look identical. Within the comparable lines, Baldwin's Estate 5103 is offered in passage, privacy and half dummy (left and right hand) if you need a matched family across a whole floor.
10) Does the Emtek Octagon privacy latch come with a round or square corner faceplate?
Both are available, round corner or square corner on the latch faceplate. Match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge: a router-cut prep takes the round corner plate, and a chisel-squared prep takes the square corner. Getting this right is the difference between dropping the latch straight in and recutting the edge.
11) I need the Emtek Octagon lever for a thicker than normal door. What do I tell you?
There is a Door Thickness field on the order, so enter the actual measured thickness of your door slab and the set is supplied to suit. Do the same with the backset: choose 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches based on the distance from the door edge to the center of your existing 2-1/8 inch bore. If you are working off a set of drawings, put the detail in the comments field as well.
12) What is a lower-cost privacy lever if the cast bronze Octagon set is more than the job needs?
For a plainer bed and bath privacy lever, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are stamped commercial or builder-style trim rather than the lost wax cast bronze rosettes and Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze finishes of the Emtek Octagon set.
13) Is the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock a substitute for the Emtek Octagon privacy set?
Not a like-for-like one. The Arrow MK02-TA is privacy/bed/bath function and fire rated, but it is a Tudor knob rather than a lever, and it is listed for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek Octagon set is a lever with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so on a lever-required opening or a 1-3/8 inch door the Arrow knob is not an equivalent.
14) What should I specify for a keyless-entry bathroom or suite door instead of the Emtek Octagon privacy set?
The Emtek Octagon privacy set is a mechanical, non-electronic lever with a thumbturn. If code-based access is wanted on the same opening, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever is ADA compliant with a 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors with an adjustable backset, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
15) My door needs a lever on one side only for looks - is there an alternative to ordering the Emtek Octagon privacy set?
Yes. The Emtek Octagon privacy set is sold complete with latch and strike for a working 2-1/8 inch bore door prep. For a non-operating leaf, dummy trim is the correct part: the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed left or right, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, and the BEST 9K 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy in the 5400 Series.
16) Does the Emtek Octagon privacy lever need to be ordered handed, and which comparable levers avoid that?
The Emtek Octagon lever set is ordered as left hand or right hand along with backset, rosette and latch type. If handing is a concern on a mixed-swing job, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever are both non-handed designs, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible. Those are passage function, not privacy, so they suit hall and closet doors rather than a bed or bath.
17) Which alternatives fit a door thicker than the Emtek Octagon privacy set covers?
The Emtek Octagon lever set specifies a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For thicker leaves, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum-function Grade 1 lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
