Emtek 5107.AG.RH.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Argos passage leverset fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Argos passage set drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. The standard latch is for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is available if your door is bored for it. One caveat on rosette choice: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep, so it is not a plain standard-prep swap.
2) Do I need to specify handing when ordering an Emtek Argos lever?
Yes, handing is an order choice on the Argos lever, left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door (the side it swings away from): if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, on your right it is right hand. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way on the door.
3) What does a passage function lever actually do, and is the Emtek Argos the right one for a bedroom or bathroom?
Passage means latching only, no lock at all. The Argos is non-keyed with no thumbturn, so it is for halls, closets, and pantry doors where you only need the door to stay shut. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy set with a thumbturn instead. Emtek builds the Argos lever in privacy as well, so you can keep the same lever and rosette across the house and just change the function door to door.
4) My door is thicker than 2 inches. What passage lever will work?
The Argos covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, so a heavy or built-up door up to 2-1/4 inch is within range. If you need the same reach in a commercial graded lock, the Falcon K101 passage lever also spans 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. Most of the graded alternatives stop short: the Arrow GL01 and Design Hardware X75 are built for 1-3/4 inch and up to 2 inch openings only.
5) My door is already bored for 2-3/4 inch backset. Does the Emtek Argos work, or do I have to re-drill?
No re-drilling. The Argos backset is adjustable, and you pick 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch when you order. 2-3/8 is the standard latch and 2-3/4 is the one to call out; those are the two backsets on virtually every bored residential door, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore and order to match.
6) What is the closest commercial-grade alternative to the Emtek Argos passage leverset for a high-traffic opening?
The Emtek Argos passage set is a residential-collection brass tubular leverset in passage function. When the opening needs a commercial-duty lock in the same passage function, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Falcon T101 is also Grade 1 heavy duty passage. Both are cylindrical passage locks like the Argos, but they are specified by ANSI grade and duty level rather than by decorative rosette and brass finish.
7) What Grade 1 and Grade 2 passage levers are there if my spec calls out an ANSI grade?
The Emtek Argos passage set is a residential brass leverset. Where the drawing calls out a grade, the Grade 1 passage options include the Falcon K101 and T101, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage/closet vandal resistant lever, and the Design Hardware X75 passage lever lockset with flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. At Grade 2, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Accentra 4601LN are passage cylindrical lever locks, along with the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever, the Hager 2510 Withnell, the Falcon B101, and the Design Hardware J75 flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) Does the Emtek Argos passage lever lock, and what should I order if I need a lock on that door?
The Argos passage set is non-keyed with a passage function - it latches the door and turns from both sides, with no locking. For a bed or bath door you want privacy function: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose, or the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set, or the Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever. For a door that takes a key, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6411 Morant are entry function levers, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt.
9) I need a passage lever that is non-handed so I do not have to specify left or right - what are my options?
The Emtek Argos passage set is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand, so the swing has to be identified before ordering. If you would rather not hand the order, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers. The Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible and ships with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike.
10) Which passage lever should I specify for a fire rated opening instead of the Emtek Argos?
For a fire rated passage opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock carrying a fire rating and covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage/closet lever is Grade 1 vandal resistant with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. On the Kwikset side, the 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever is supplied with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike. The Emtek Argos passage set is a residential brass leverset.
11) Does the Emtek Argos passage set come with the latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
It ships complete: lever, rosettes, latch, and strike plate in one box. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in your door edge. If you add the CF mechanism or the latch-only option, a 28 degree latch is included in place of the standard one. Nothing else is required to hang it on a bored door.
12) What is the CF (concealed fastener) option on the Emtek Argos lever and should I add it?
CF hides the mounting screws, so the rosette face is clean with no exposed fasteners. It is a look decision, not a function one. If you are putting these on visible main-floor doors, take it. Choosing CF also brings a 28 degree latch with the set. There is also an option to add the 28 degree latch on its own without the concealed fastener rosettes, and a no-thanks option that leaves you with standard exposed-screw rosettes.
13) Can I match the Emtek Argos lever to the rosettes and finishes already on my other doors?
The Argos lever pairs with any brass rosette in the Emtek range, and six shapes are offered here: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Eight finishes: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). If you are matching an existing house, the US finish code on your current hardware is what to match against, and a split finish can be specified when the two sides of the door need to differ.
14) I need a passage lever in satin brass but not at the Emtek price point. What else is there?
The Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass. It is a plainer round-rose lever rather than a designer brass set with six rosette choices, but the function is the same, latching only, no lock. Bravura also does the Atlanta and Orlando in round trim and the Tampa in square trim, all Grade 2 passage.
15) Is there a decorative brass passage lever comparable to the Emtek Argos from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the closest peer, a decorative residential passage lever from the Estate line. Baldwin also builds the 5103 in privacy and in left and right hand half dummy, so you can carry one lever design through an entire house the same way you can with the Argos.
16) I need a passage lever in a decorative brass finish but not a designer set - what else is there?
The Emtek Argos passage set is a brass leverset offered in finishes including Satin Brass (US4), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14) and Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), with a choice of six rosettes. For a simpler passage lever in satin brass, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset supplied in US4 Satin Brass. Bravura also offers the Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and the Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage leversets, if you want a round or square trim decision without the rosette range.
17) Can I use a keypad lever in place of the Emtek Argos passage set?
A keypad lever is a different animal - the Argos is a non-electronic, non-keyed passage set that simply latches. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 2835DC is the double combination version. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set in passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2. Those control who gets through the door; the Argos does not.
18) What is the difference between the Emtek Argos passage leverset and the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever?
Both are decorative passage levers. The Emtek Argos is a brass leverset in a contemporary style, ordered with a choice of six rosettes - Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern - and eight finishes, and it is handed left or right. The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever is supplied with the 5048 rose. Baldwin lists left hand and right hand half dummy versions of the 5103 separately, so handing is chosen at the part number on that family.
19) What passage lever matches the Emtek Argos for a rental unit where I am standardizing across doors?
The Emtek Argos passage set is a residential brass leverset, handed, with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For repeating the same passage function across a unit at a simpler trim level, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the same thickness range as the Argos - and its matching 300BRNL Breton privacy set covers the bed and bath doors in the same trim. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel if you are standardizing on that finish.
20) Is the Emtek Argos lever solid brass or plated zinc?
Solid brass, both material and substrate. That matters if you are ordering the Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) finish, which is bare brass left to patina rather than a clear-coated finish. The rest of the finishes are plated over the same brass body.
