Emtek Modern Designer Brass Leverset - Basel Lever, Passage Set

Yes. The Basel passage set drops into standard door prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, with the included latch set for a 2-3/8 inch backset or 2-3/4 inch if you specify it. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. One exception on prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, that one wants a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole preparation.

It does. Basel is a handed lever, ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH). Stand outside the door, on the side that swings away from you: if the hinges are on your left it's left hand, hinges on the right it's right hand. Get this wrong on a passage set and the lever points uphill. If you need a non-handed passage lever for a job where handing is unknown at order time, the Falcon B101 and K101 passage locks use non-handed levers.

It doesn't lock. Passage function means the lever retracts the latch from both sides at all times, no key and no thumbturn. That's what you want on a hall, closet, pantry, or a bedroom door that doesn't need privacy. If the door is a bath or bedroom that needs to lock from the inside, you need the privacy version instead, and if it needs a key, a keyed entry set. The Basel passage set is non-keyed.

No. Basel is a residential lever, a tubular latch set in solid brass, built for houses, condos, and finished interiors. For a commercial opening, a corridor, an office, a school, you want a cylindrical lock built to that duty. Passage options in the comparable range include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock (fire rated, 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors), the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever (fire rated, 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors), and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta at Grade 2.

Not from the standard spec. Basel's stated door thickness is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. At 2 inches you're past it. Passage levers in that range include the Hager 2510 (1-3/8 to 2 inches), the Falcon K101 (1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches), and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 (1-3/4 to 2 inches). There is a door thickness field on the order if your door is non-standard, so state the actual measurement rather than assuming.

Yes, but you have to say so on the order. Backset is a required selection, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and the standard latch that ships is the 2-3/8. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: 2-3/8 is the usual residential figure and 2-3/4 shows up on heavier or commercial-prepped doors. Specify the 2-3/4 and the correct latch comes with the set.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative peer. Both are passage function, so the lever retracts the latch from either side with no locking and no key. The Emtek Basel is a brass, contemporary-styled lever offered in 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), and the rose can be Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, or Urban Modern. The Baldwin 5103 comes with the 5048 rose as its trim.

Among passage-function levers, Falcon K101 and Design Hardware X75 are Grade 1; Accentra 5301LN Augusta, Accentra 4601LN, Arrow GL01, Hager 2510, Design Hardware J75, Falcon B101, and the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa and Miramar leversets are Grade 2; Callan Asheville and Kwikset 200BRNL Breton are Grade 3. The Emtek Basel is a residential brass passage leverset with a tubular lock body.

No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a left hand half dummy and a right hand half dummy, which are fixed trim with no latch, used on inactive leaves and closet doors that hold shut by other means. The Emtek Basel passage set is a working latching lever sold complete with latch and strike plate. Baldwin also builds the 5103 in passage and privacy versions, so match the function before ordering. Other dummy trims in the same category include the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy, the BEST 9K single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim, and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever.

The Emtek Basel covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Among peers, Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage begins at 1-3/4 inch and runs to 2 inch, and Design Hardware J75 and X75 are built for a 1-3/4 inch door, so those three do not reach a 1-3/8 inch leaf.

The Basel passage set is non-keyed passage function, latching only. For a door that needs to lock from inside, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the privacy-function counterpart in a decorative brass style; the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy option for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes you selected, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to order to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate can be round corner or square corner, so match it to whatever mortise is already cut into the door edge.

Concealed Fastener means the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face of the door, so you see clean brass instead of two screw heads. Choosing it also brings a 28 degree latch with the set. You can also take the 28 degree latch on its own without the CF mechanism, or skip both. If the design is going into a finished residential space where the trim is visible at eye level, CF is the reason people pay for Emtek over a builder-grade lever.

Yes, the Basel lever can be ordered with any Emtek brass rosette. Six shapes are offered: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Round rosettes read softer, the Square and Modern Rectangular suit a contemporary or flat-panel door. Pick the shape that matches the rest of the hardware in the room, the lever itself doesn't change.

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). The US codes are the standard finish designations, so if the hinges and pulls already on the job are spec'd US15 or US10B, the Basel will land in the same family. Unlacquered Brass is the one to think about, it has no clear coat and will darken with handling over time, which is the point of it but not something you want on half the doors and not the others. There's also a split finish option if you need a different finish inside and out.

You can. Basel is offered in passage for halls and closets and in privacy for bed and bath, same lever, same rosette choices, same finish list, so the doors read identically across the house whether they lock or not. Order the passage function for hall, closet, pantry and utility doors and the privacy function anywhere someone needs to shut themselves in. Keep the rosette and finish selection identical across both and note the handing door by door.

Basel is a contemporary design in solid brass. If the room calls for something more traditional, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer, same passage function, same decorative residential class. Baldwin also does that 5103 in privacy and in left and right hand half dummy, so you can carry one design across locking, non-locking and false doors the way you can with Basel. For a lower cost passage lever in Satin Brass, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 option in US4.

The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible and ships with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike; a 200DL variant ships with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. The Emtek Basel is the brass, contemporary route, ordered by handing and with a choice of six rosettes.

The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock has a passage function and is ADA compliant, for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version in the same thickness range. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. The Emtek Basel is non-electronic and non-keyed.

The Basel is non-keyed. For keyed openings, Dexter C1000 offers Grade 1 entry/office, classroom, classroom security and asylum functions for 1-3/8 inch doors upward; Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset and AG03 is the classroom version on a 2-3/4 inch backset; Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

No, it's a purely mechanical tubular passage set, no electronics, no keypad, no batteries. If what you actually need is keyless code entry on an interior or utility door, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever both run passage function with no power required, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock.

Yes. There's a split finish option on the order, so you can run one finish on the corridor side and another on the room side, useful when a bedroom or bath is finished differently to the hallway. Name both finishes from the eight offered when you place the order. There's also a free comments field for anything unusual about the opening.
