Emtek 5207.AG.RH.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Argos privacy leverset fit a standard 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes on the bore. The Argos privacy set drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, and it covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. One catch worth knowing before you order: if you choose the STRETTO rosette, the thumbturn side needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep instead, so an existing standard prep will not take it without drilling.
2) What backset do I order for an Emtek Argos lever, and what if my door is bored at 2-3/4 inches?
Backset is a required choice on the Argos privacy set: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch, so if your existing bore is set back 2-3/4 inches from the edge of the door, you have to specify that at order time. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore hole and pick to match; those are the two backsets used on residential doors.
3) Is the Emtek Argos privacy lever handed, and how do I tell which hand I need?
Handing matters. The Argos lever is ordered left hand or right hand, so you pick before the order goes in. Stand on the outside of the door (the side you push from, hallway side for a bedroom or bath) and see which side the hinges are on: hinges on your left is left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. Get it backwards and the lever points uphill.
4) Does the Emtek Argos privacy set come with a latch and strike or do I need to buy those separately?
It ships as a complete set, latch and strike plate included, so nothing else is needed to hang it on a properly bored door. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, which lets you match whatever is already mortised into the door edge instead of chiseling a new pocket. No cylinder or key is involved, it is a non-keyed privacy function with a thumbturn inside and an emergency release outside.
5) Can I use the Emtek Argos privacy lever on a commercial office or a rental unit corridor?
Not the right pick. The Argos is a residential tubular leverset in solid brass, with no ANSI grade behind it, so it is meant for bedroom and bath doors in a house or a high-end unit interior. For a commercial opening or heavy traffic, go to a graded cylindrical lock: the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock that carries a fire rating and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Those are built for cycle counts the Argos is not.
6) What is a comparable privacy leverset to the Emtek Argos privacy set if I want a commercial grade rating on the door?
The Emtek Argos privacy leverset is a brass, residential tubular privacy lock for bed and bath doors. If the opening needs a graded commercial privacy lock instead, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range. The Argos covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so the two overlap on standard residential door prep while the Hager reaches thicker doors.
7) I need the same bedroom lock but with a knob instead of a lever - what should I order?
The Emtek Argos privacy set is a lever design in brass. For a knob in the same privacy bed and bath function, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, non-keyed, fire rated, with a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range. The Argos serves 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, so on a standard 1-3/4 inch door either will prep, and the Arrow is the one to take onto thicker doors.
8) Is a Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever a direct substitute for the Emtek Argos privacy set?
They do the same job on the door - the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy leverset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness range the Emtek Argos covers. The difference is the trim program: the Argos is a brass set that can be ordered with any brass rosette across six rosette styles and seven finishes including Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Polished Nickel Lifetime US14, and it is handed left or right. Use the Argos where the rosette and finish have to match other openings, the Kwikset where a fixed-trim Grade 3 privacy lever will do.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Argos privacy lever but will not lock the bathroom door?
Dummy levers are the common mix-up. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Left Hand and Right Hand Half Dummy levers and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever are dummy function - they mount as pull trim and have no latch or lock. The Emtek Argos is privacy bed and bath function and ships as a complete set with latch and strike plate, so if the door has to close and lock, the dummies are not an exchange for it.
10) The door is 2 inches thick - what privacy or non-keyed lever works where the Emtek Argos does not?
The Emtek Argos brass leverset is specified for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 non-handed passage cylindrical lock rated for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and fire rated, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Both are passage function rather than privacy, so a door that must lock at 2 inches thick needs the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock, which is rated 1-3/4 to 2 inch.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on the Emtek Argos leverset and is it worth adding?
CF is Emtek's concealed fastener mechanism: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face, so you see clean metal instead of two screw heads. It is supplied with the 28 degree latch. There are three choices at order time: add the CF mechanism, add the 28 degree latch only, or skip both. The 28 degree latch refers to the rotation, a shorter lever throw than a standard latch. If the door is in a visible space and you are paying for solid brass trim anyway, CF is the one that changes how the finished door looks.
12) What rosette shapes and finishes can I get the Emtek Argos lever in, and can I match levers already on my other doors?
The Argos privacy lever takes six rosette styles, Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern, in seven finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). It can be ordered with any brass rosette, so if you already run Emtek brass trim elsewhere in the house you can carry the same rosette and finish across passage, privacy, and dummy openings and keep one look throughout.
13) What is a comparable decorative brass privacy lever to the Emtek Argos?
The closest peer in the same decorative residential lane is the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with the 5048 rose, same privacy/bed/bath function, same designer-trim intent. The difference is style and rosette range rather than duty: the Argos gives you six rosette shapes and seven finishes to choose from, where the Baldwin 5103 is sold on the 5048 rose. Baldwin also runs the 5103 in passage and in left and right hand half dummy, so you can carry the family across a whole floor the same way.
14) I want the same lever on a closet door that does not need to lock. What do I order?
The privacy function is the wrong one for a closet, it has the thumbturn and you do not want a closet that locks. For a budget-conscious match in the same residential lane, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Bravura sells Grade 2 passage leversets in Atlanta, Orlando, Miramar and Tampa trims. If you want to stay in Emtek brass and keep the rosette and finish consistent with the Argos privacy openings, order the Argos in the passage function rather than this one.
15) Is there an electronic or keypad version of the Emtek Argos privacy lever for a rental?
No, the Argos privacy set is purely mechanical and non-keyed, thumbturn inside with an emergency release outside. If you need code access on a unit door, that is a different product: the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with adjustable backset for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock. None of those will match the Argos trim, they are function parts.
16) My bathroom door is a thick 2 inch slab. Will the Emtek Argos still work on it?
Yes. The Argos privacy set covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch thick doors, so a 2 inch slab is inside range with room to spare, provided the cross bore is 2-1/8 inch. There is a door thickness field on the order form, so state the actual measured thickness when it is anything other than a standard 1-3/4 inch door and the set gets built to suit. Measure the slab itself, not the casing.
17) The bathroom door does not need to lock - what is the passage version to use with the Argos lever?
The Emtek Argos set is privacy function, with a thumbturn lock for bed and bath doors. Where the door only needs to latch, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever on the 5048 rose is a decorative passage leverset, and the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass. Satin Brass US4 is also one of the Argos finishes, so the Bravura matches it on finish designation.
18) For a restroom in a commercial building, what should I use instead of the Emtek Argos privacy set?
The Argos is a residential brass privacy leverset. For a public restroom, the Accentra 107S is a Grade 1 apartment exit and public toilet function, and for a utility or institution door the Dexter C1000 asylum F87 lock is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Both are graded commercial functions written for that traffic, where the Argos is specified for residential bed and bath use.
19) What is the difference between the Emtek Argos privacy lever and a keyless pushbutton lever like the Lockey 2835?
The Emtek Argos is a non-electronic, non-keyed brass privacy lever locked from the inside by thumbturn. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination on the same door range. The Lockey units are code-entry passage locks; the Argos is the bed and bath privacy set.
20) Is the Emtek Argos lever solid brass or plated, and will the unlacquered brass change over time?
Solid brass, both the substrate and the finish family. That matters for two of the seven finish choices in particular: Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is bare brass with no clear coat, so it will patina and darken with handling, which is what people order it for. If you want the brass look to stay bright and even, Satin Brass (US4) is the finished option. Polished Nickel is a Lifetime finish (US14).
21) Can I get the Emtek Argos lever with two different finishes, one on each side of the door?
Yes, split finish is available on the Argos privacy set as an order option, so the hallway side can run one finish and the bedroom or bath side another. Useful when the corridor trim package and the room trim package do not match, common in renovation work where you do not want to refinish an entire floor to make one door agree. Specify which finish goes on which side when you place the order.
22) Can I use a square rose passage lever from another brand to match the Argos on a square rosette?
The Emtek Argos can be ordered with a Square Rosette or a Modern Rectangular Rosette, and its latch faceplate comes round or square corner. If a square trim passage lever is needed on the adjacent door, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. Bravura also lists the Atlanta and Orlando as Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim if the neighboring openings run round.
