Emtek Modern Classic Brass Leverset - Luzern Lever, Privacy Set

Yes. The Luzern privacy leverset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. The one exception is the STRETTO rosette, which needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a two-hole door prep for the privacy thumbturn, so that prep is not the same hole pattern as the rest.

The standard latch ships set for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is an ordering choice you specify up front rather than something you swap later. Both are offered as a required selection, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you order. Those are the two common residential backsets, so an existing bored door will almost always match one of them.

Yes, handing matters. The Luzern privacy set is ordered left hand or right hand, so establish the swing before you buy: stand on the outside of the door (the hallway side for a bed or bath) and note which side the hinges are on. Order the wrong hand and the lever points the wrong way on the door.

Go to the Arrow MK02-TA: Grade 1, privacy/bed/bath function, fire rated, on doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. It uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so confirm the opening does not need lever operation. If a lever is required, the Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek Luzern privacy set is a residential brass leverset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the specification to check against a commercial restroom schedule.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative match: same privacy/bed/bath function, same rose-and-lever architecture. The Luzern privacy set differs in the breadth of its trim program - the lever pairs with Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square or Urban Modern rosettes and in Flat Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Brass, Satin Nickel or Unlacquered Brass, and can be ordered with a concealed fastener mechanism so the rosettes carry no exposed screws. The Baldwin 5103 privacy is specified as one lever on one rose. Choose on the trim look you want to match on the rest of the doors.

The Emtek Luzern privacy set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch leaf, the Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and is Grade 2. If the opening is a passage rather than a bed or bath door, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty passage with non-handed levers and spans 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the leaf at the bore before choosing, since the thickness range is what rules the Luzern in or out.

It comes as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is required to hang it on a prepped door. If you select the CF (concealed fastener) mechanism, a 28 degree rotation latch is included with it instead of the standard latch.

CF stands for concealed fastener: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face, which is what most people want on a visible bedroom or bath door. Choosing it also brings the 28 degree rotation latch. If you would rather not, the options include a plain 28 degree rotation latch on its own or no upgrade at all. It is a cosmetic and mechanism choice, not a fit choice, so it does not change the door prep.

No key. Privacy function means a thumbturn on the inside and an emergency release on the outside, which is the standard setup for a bedroom or bathroom door. The Luzern privacy set is non-keyed, so if you need a keyed exterior or office door you want an entrance function lock instead, such as the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever, which fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Luzern lever can be ordered with any brass rosette, and six shapes are offered: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Finishes run Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). If you are standardizing a house or a set of units, pick the rosette and finish once and repeat it across the passage, privacy, and dummy functions.

If the Luzern's solid brass and rosette choices are more than the job needs, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is a Grade 3 privacy set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a decorative alternative closer to the Emtek in character, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the same privacy function in another premium line. Note that the Luzern covers a wider door range, up to 2-1/4 inch.

The set ships with its own strike plate, and the latch faceplate is available in round corner or square corner so it can match the mortise already cut in the door edge. If you are reusing the existing jamb strike, match the corner profile of the old latch face before ordering; if you are prepping fresh, use the included strike.

The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is the plainer option: Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. It arrives as a fixed lever and round trim in a single configuration. The Luzern privacy set is a solid brass residential leverset ordered by rosette, finish and handing across a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Both cover the same interior bed and bath opening; the Breton is the one-configuration answer, the Luzern is the one you specify to match a finish program.

No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is passage/hall/closet function, and the 5103 Left Hand and Right Hand Half Dummy Levers are dummy function - neither has a locking mechanism. The Emtek Luzern privacy set is privacy/bed/bath, non-keyed, with a thumbturn on the room side. If a bedroom or bath door needs to lock from inside, the passage and dummy trims will look identical on the door and do nothing. Order privacy for those openings and reserve dummy trim for inactive leaves.

The Emtek Luzern privacy set is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, so a fleet stocked on it carries both. Falcon builds non-handed cylindrical levers: the B101 is Grade 2 medium duty passage with a non-handed design, and the K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty passage with non-handed levers. Those are passage function, so they suit corridor and closet doors rather than bed and bath. Where the decorative brass trim matters, keep the Luzern and stock the handing; where it does not, a non-handed lever halves the shelf.

Solid brass, both the lever and the rosette, which is why the unlacquered brass option will patina over time while the plated finishes will not. It is part of Emtek's brass collection, with a contemporary look rather than a traditional one.

Yes. A split finish can be specified when ordering, so the outside of the door can carry one finish and the inside another. That is useful where a hallway is one palette and the bedroom or bath is another. Door thickness can also be called out at order time if your door falls outside the usual range.

Not for the same job. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is passage function and fits doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set fits 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are code-entry devices controlling who gets through the door. The Emtek Luzern privacy set is non-keyed with a thumbturn, meant to be locked by the person inside the room and released from outside in an emergency. Use the keypad where access is being controlled and the privacy lever on bed and bath doors.
