Emtek Modern Brass Key In Leverset - Hanover Lever with Rosette Options - Single Cylinder

Handing is required on the Hanover leverset. You order it Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so figure the hand before you order: stand outside the door (the keyed side), and if the hinges are on your left it's a left hand door. Get it backwards and the lever points the wrong way on the wrong face.

Keyed alike is a standard option on the Hanover single cylinder lever, at no charge, and so is keyed different if you want each opening on its own key. There's also a key-to-code field, so if the rest of the house is already on a bitting you can hand that over and have these cut to match rather than rekeying later.

The Hanover is a residential lever, solid brass, contemporary styling. For a leased commercial opening or a corridor taking real traffic you want a graded cylindrical lock instead: the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical lever, and the Dexter C1000 Entry/Office is Grade 1 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the Emtek where appearance drives the choice, and the graded lock where duty does.

The Hanover ships with a Schlage keyway as standard and can be ordered in the Weiser (WR5) keyway by adding W to the beginning of the product code, with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, so it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Among the commercial peers, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is supplied with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever uses the same 6-pin Schlage C keyway. That shared keyway is what lets a decorative front door and a back-of-house opening sit on one key system.

The Emtek Hanover in single cylinder form is a keyed entry lever, so the non-keyed openings take a different function. In a decorative line, the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever with the 5048 rose is built in passage for halls and closets, privacy for bed and bath, and half dummy in left hand (5103 LDM) and right hand (5103 RDM) for inactive leaves. The Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset offered in US4 satin brass, which is one of the finishes the Hanover is also built in.

The Deltana 6201 Manchester Lever Entry is the nearest decorative match. Both are entry-function keyed levers: the Hanover carries an Entry lock function in a tubular bored lockset, and the Deltana 6201 is listed as Entry function in the Manchester Lever series with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Deltana also builds the same entry function into the 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead levers, so the choice between them is lever shape rather than function. The Hanover differs in that it is offered in Schlage and Weiser (WR5) keyways and in seven rosette shapes, from the Modern Brass Square to the Classic Brass Rope.

The Hanover is a residential brass leverset, so a commercial corridor or tenant door is better served by a graded cylindrical lock. The Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lever is Grade 1 with a clutching lever and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range. The Falcon B511CP6D is Grade 2 medium duty in an Entrance/Office function. All three keep the keyed-outside, always-free-inside behavior a buyer expects from an entry lever.

They lock differently. The Hanover is an Entry function single cylinder lever, so the key retracts the latch and the inside lever stays free. A storeroom lever such as the Cal-Royal AG05, a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt, or the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever, keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires the key on every entry. A classroom lever such as the Cal-Royal AG03, supplied with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and a 2-3/4 inch backset, is keyed from the outside only to lock and unlock the outside lever. Specify by how the opening must behave, not by lever shape.

Go to a keyless lever. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the 2835DC adds a double combination on the same door range. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, with the 1150S offering an adjustable backset. For a battery electronic option, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Hanover is a mechanical keyed lever with no electronic function, which is why the swap changes the lever entirely rather than just the cylinder.

Single cylinder means it's keyed on the outside only. The Hanover is an entry function lever, so the inside lever operates freely to exit and the locking is done from the inside button and the outside key. There's no interior key cylinder to fumble with in a fire, which is why entry function is what goes on a house front door.

Tubular, in a standard bored prep, not a mortise. That means it goes into the same cross-bore-and-edge-bore prep as an ordinary residential lockset rather than a pocket cut into the door edge, so on a door already carrying a bored lock it's a straight swap with no new mortising.

Seven rosettes: Modern Brass Disk, Rectangular, and Square, plus Classic Brass #8, Rectangular, Regular, and Rope (the Rope comes in limited finishes). Finishes are Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, which matters if you're trying to match existing hardware in a building.

Deltana's entry levers are the closest decorative alternatives we carry: the 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead are all entry function and all fit 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, which is a wider thickness range than the Hanover's standard 1-3/4. Deltana also has the 5851 Claremont entry lever. Pick the Emtek if you want the rosette and split-finish choices; pick Deltana if the door thickness is the sticking point.

Yes. The Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lever in an Entrance function, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 Entrance/Office lever with a solid brass forged body and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset. Compared with those, the Hanover is a decorative brass leverset in a contemporary style with a choice of seven rosettes and Schlage or Weiser (WR5) keying.

The Hanover is a single cylinder bored leverset, so the key operates the lever latch only. If the opening needs a deadbolt on the same key, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo. Ordering the Hanover for an entry door that also needs a deadbolt means specifying the deadbolt separately, and the Hanover cylinder is available in Schlage or Weiser (WR5) keyway so the two can be brought onto one key.

The Hanover is specified left hand or right hand, and handing is required when ordering. Several commercial cylindrical levers are built non-handed instead: the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever has a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock uses non-handed levers with a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Those are passage function, so they are the answer for a hall or closet opening where field-reversibility matters, not a replacement for the keyed Hanover.

The Hanover is built for a standard 1-3/4 inch door, with thicker doors specified at the time of order. Where a single part number needs to cover a range, the Deltana 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2525 commercial entry lock lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 in the CL3100 Series lists 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch and is fire rated. Those are commercial cylindrical locks rather than decorative brass trim, so the trade is appearance against door range.

Split finish is available as an option on the Hanover, so you can run one finish on the exterior face and another on the interior. That's how you match a black exterior package to a satin nickel interior scheme without buying two locks.

No electronics. It's a mechanical key-in-lever, keyed on the outside. If you want code entry on that opening instead of carrying keys, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever that fits 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors with no wiring or batteries, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock.

A dummy lever is not a substitute for a keyed entry lever, but it is the right part for a door leaf that never latches. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. None of these has a latch or a cylinder, so on an operating entry door the Hanover entry lever remains the functioning part.
