Emtek 72011.PD.RH.MB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Padua privacy leverset fit my existing door prep?
The Padua privacy set drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as supplied; specify the 2-3/4 inch backset if that's what your door is bored for. The spec sheet lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. One exception on prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, that version needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn.
2) Is the Emtek Padua lever handed, and how do I order the right hand?
Yes, it's handed. The Padua lever is ordered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so determine handing from the hinge side with the door swinging away from you before you place the order. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way on the door.
3) What does the privacy function on this Emtek lever actually do?
Privacy/bed/bath function: a thumbturn on the inside locks the lever, and there is no key. It's the right function for a bedroom or bathroom door, not for an exterior or secured door. If you need a keyed opening, this is not the set to buy.
4) Is the Emtek Padua privacy lever suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It's a residential-duty tubular lockset, cataloged as residential rather than commercial. For a commercial bed/bath or restroom opening you'd want a cylindrical lock built for it, for example the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever, or the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock. The Emtek is the choice when the look of cast bronze matters on a residence or high-end interior.
5) What is the closest decorative equivalent to the Emtek Padua privacy leverset from another residential brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative counterpart. Both are privacy/bed/bath function lever sets built for residential interior doors, and both come as a lever-and-rose set rather than a commercial escutcheon trim. The Emtek Padua is a lost wax cast bronze lever offered in Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB) with a choice of #11, #12, #14 or #15 rosette; the Baldwin 5103 is supplied with its 5048 rose. Choose based on the rose profile and finish you are matching on the rest of the door.
6) I need a privacy lever for a bathroom but want a lower cost builder-grade option instead of cast bronze - what should I look at?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. It covers the same bedroom and bath application as the Emtek Padua privacy set, in a stamped builder-grade lever rather than a lost wax cast bronze one with selectable rosette styles. Use the Kwikset where appearance is secondary and the Padua where the bronze finish and rose profile need to match other decorative hardware.
7) Can I use the Emtek Padua privacy lever on a commercial restroom door, or do I need something else?
The Padua privacy set is a residential lever. For a commercial restroom or institutional bath opening, look at the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever, which fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, or the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock, which is fire rated and uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. Those carry the ANSI grading and, in the Arrow's case, the fire rating that commercial specifications usually call out.
8) Do I get the latch and strike with the Emtek Padua privacy set or do I order them separately?
It ships as a complete set, latch and strike plate included. The latch faceplate can be had round corner or square corner to match the existing mortise in your door edge, so you usually don't have to chisel anything out on a replacement.
9) What is the CF mechanism option on the Emtek Padua lever, and should I pick it?
CF is the concealed fastener build: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws for a cleaner face. Choosing CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. If you don't mind visible rosette screws, the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on its own are the other two choices.
10) Can I mix the Padua lever with a different Emtek rosette to match my other doors?
Yes. The Padua lever can be ordered with any Lost Wax Bronze rosette, with #11, #12, #14 and #15 as the rosette choices, so you can carry one rose shape across a whole floor of doors and change only the lever style where you want to.
11) My door is 2 inches thick. Will this Emtek lever work?
Yes on thickness. The Padua set fits any door from 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches with the standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, and there is a door thickness field on the order so the set is built for your slab. Note the spec table lists the common range as 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so state your actual thickness when ordering anything over that.
12) What do I order for a hall or closet door if I do not need the privacy lock but want the same look?
Privacy is the locking bed and bath function, so for a hall, closet or pantry door you want a passage set instead. In the same decorative residential family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the passage counterpart to the 5103 privacy lever. The Emtek Padua is offered as a privacy set with the thumbturn function, and the passage equivalent is a separate lock function, not a variant choice on the same set.
13) Is a dummy lever the same as the Padua privacy set for a closet or double door?
No. The Padua privacy set is a working latching lock with a bed and bath thumbturn, and it ships with latch and strike plate. A dummy lever is surface-mounted trim with no latch at all - for example the Baldwin Estate 5103 Left Hand Half Dummy Lever or the Right Hand Half Dummy, both dummy function. Use a dummy on an inactive leaf or a ball-catch closet door, and the Padua privacy set where the door actually has to latch and lock.
14) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what lever works there instead of the Padua?
The Padua privacy set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For thicker leaves, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead lever entry sets all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are entry and passage functions rather than privacy, so confirm the function the opening needs before you order.
15) The Padua privacy set is non-keyed - what do I use on a bedroom suite or exterior door that needs a key?
The Padua is a non-keyed privacy set, so it locks with a thumbturn only. Where a key is required, the Deltana 5851 Claremont and 6201 Manchester lever sets are entry function, and the Callan Artino 360201 is a Grade 3 entrance leverset. For a commercial entry lever, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entrance lock fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
16) Do I need to specify handing on a Padua privacy lever, and are there non-handed alternatives?
Yes - the Padua privacy set is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so the door swing has to be confirmed before the order goes in. If you want to avoid handing entirely on a job, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 and Falcon K101 Grade 1 cylindrical passage locks use a non-handed lever design, though both are passage function rather than privacy.
17) Why would I choose the 28 degree rotation latch on an Emtek leverset?
The 28 degree latch shortens how far the lever has to swing to retract the bolt, so the handle drops a shorter arc in use. It is included automatically when the CF mechanism is selected, and can also be ordered on its own without CF.
18) What finishes does the Emtek Padua Lost Wax Cast Bronze lever come in?
Two: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are on solid cast bronze from the Tuscany Bronze collection, and there's a split finish option at order if you want a different finish inside than out on a given opening.
19) Do I need a passage or dummy version of the Padua to match the privacy doors?
Privacy is only one function in the family. For a hall or closet door you'd use the passage version and for a fixed or inactive leaf a dummy, both of which carry the same Padua lever and the same Lost Wax Bronze rosette choices, so a run of doors matches even though the functions differ.
20) I want a keyless code lever for a bedroom instead of a thumbturn privacy set - what are the options?
The Padua privacy set is a mechanical, non-electronic lever with a thumbturn. For coded access on a similar door, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant and fits doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds double combination, and the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock if you want a powered unit rather than a mechanical one.
