Emtek 5207.BRL.RH.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek Breslin privacy leverset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The Breslin privacy set drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, which is the same prep most residential tubular locksets already use. If your door was previously fitted with a conventional knob or lever set, no new boring is normally needed.
2) What backset do I order for the Emtek Breslin lever, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: residential interior doors are usually 2-3/8, and 2-3/4 shows up more on wider stile or exterior style doors. The latch supplied is adjustable between the two, but the backset selection still has to be made on the order.
3) Is the Emtek Breslin privacy lever handed, and how do I tell which hand I need?
It is handed. You order Left Hand or Right Hand. Stand on the outside of the door (the side you push to open, the hallway side for a bedroom or bath) and look at which edge the hinges are on: hinges on your left is Left Hand, hinges on your right is Right Hand. Getting this wrong puts the lever pointing the wrong way, so settle it before ordering.
4) Is there a keyhole on the Breslin privacy set, or just a thumbturn?
No key. The Breslin privacy set is a non-keyed bed and bath function: thumbturn on the inside, emergency release on the outside. If you need a key on a bedroom or office door, this is the wrong function and you want a keyed entrance lever instead.
5) Is the Emtek Breslin lever heavy enough for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is a residential lockset, solid brass, contemporary styling, and it is meant for homes and light residential use rather than commercial traffic. For a commercial opening you want a graded cylindrical lock: the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is Grade 1 vandal resistant and fire rated. On the privacy side specifically, the Hager 2540 and the Arrow MK02-TA are graded privacy options.
6) What is the closest decorative alternative to the Emtek Breslin privacy leverset for a bedroom or bath door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative-grade equivalent: same privacy/bed/bath function, lever handle, rose-mounted trim. The Breslin privacy set is brass with a choice of rosette (Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, Urban Modern) and finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel and Unlacquered Brass, while the Baldwin 5103 is supplied with the fixed 5048 rose. Choose by rose shape and finish match to the rest of the door hardware.
7) I need a privacy lever for a bathroom but the Emtek Breslin is more than the job calls for. What is a simpler option?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath leverset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, which covers the same common residential bathroom door. The Emtek Breslin privacy set is a brass residential leverset with selectable rosette style and a concealed fastener option that leaves no exposed screws on the rosettes. If the door is a back-of-house or rental bath where trim appearance is not the deciding factor, the Kwikset Breton covers the function.
8) Can I use the Emtek Breslin privacy leverset on a commercial corridor or classroom door?
No. The Breslin privacy set is designated residential and is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath tubular lock. For commercial openings, look at Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical locks such as the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever, the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock, or, where a keyed classroom function is needed, the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 classroom cylindrical lever lock.
9) If the door needs keyed entry rather than a thumbturn, what replaces the Emtek Breslin privacy leverset?
A keyed entry lever. On the decorative side the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers all cover doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick; for a graded option the Callan Artino Grade 3 entrance leverset or the Master Lock RL Series Grade 3 keyed entry lockset apply. The Breslin set is non-keyed by design, so no cylinder can be added to it.
10) Does the Emtek Breslin privacy leverset satisfy a fire-rated door assembly requirement?
For a fire-rated opening, specify a lock listed for it. Peers that carry a fire rating include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage/closet vandal resistant lever lock, and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock. The Breslin privacy set is a residential brass leverset and should be specified where no rated assembly is involved.
11) What comes in the box with the Emtek Breslin privacy leverset?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner so it can match the mortise already cut in the door edge. Nothing else is required to hang it on a pre-bored door.
12) What is the CF (concealed fastener) option on the Emtek Breslin lever and should I add it?
The CF mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from both sides. Choosing it also brings the 28 degree latch. You can also add the 28 degree latch on its own, or decline both. If the look of visible rose screws matters on the job, take the CF option; if it does not, the standard mechanism installs the same way.
13) Which rosette shapes and finishes can I get the Breslin lever in to match the rest of my doors?
Six rosette styles: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. 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). Because the Breslin can be ordered with any brass rosette, you can run one rosette shape and finish across a whole house or floor and vary only the function door to door.
14) What are the alternatives to the Emtek Breslin if I want a decorative brass privacy lever but not the modern look?
For a traditional cast brass look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative equivalent, and Baldwin offers it in matching passage and half dummy versions so a whole run of doors stays consistent. If budget drives the decision on interior bedroom and bath doors, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set. The Breslin itself is the contemporary styled option.
15) My doors are thicker than standard. Can I still use the Breslin privacy set?
There is a Door Thickness field on the order where you enter the actual thickness of your door, so Emtek can supply the correct spindle and screw lengths. Measure the door leaf and enter that figure rather than assuming, particularly on solid core or custom slabs.
16) What should I order instead of the Emtek Breslin privacy set for a hall or closet door that does not need to lock?
A passage leverset. Comparable non-locking levers include the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose on the decorative side, and the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton Passage Lever Set, a Grade 3 passage lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Breslin set as configured is privacy/bed/bath with a thumbturn, so it would put a lock on a door that does not need one.
17) Is a dummy lever a substitute for the Emtek Breslin privacy leverset?
No. Dummy trim such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim cylindrical lever, or the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever is surface-applied trim with no latch and no locking action. The Breslin privacy set is a complete set including latch and strike plate and requires a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Dummy levers are used on inactive or closet-pair leaves only.
18) The door is 2 inches thick. Does the Emtek Breslin privacy leverset still work, or do I need something else?
The Breslin privacy set covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors in its published specification range. For a thicker leaf, peers rated wider include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Match the function you need before the thickness, since those examples are passage and asylum rather than privacy.
19) I want a privacy lever in satin brass. How does the Emtek Breslin compare to the Bravura Miramar?
The Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass, so it is non-locking. The Emtek Breslin privacy set is offered in Satin Brass (US4) among other finishes and is a privacy/bed/bath function with a thumbturn. If the door needs to lock, the Breslin privacy set is the one of the two that does it.
20) Can I order the Breslin lever with two different finishes, one per side?
Yes, there is a split finish option where you specify the finish for each side of the door. That is useful when a bathroom or bedroom faces a hallway finished differently from the room itself. Enter both finishes in the split finish field when you order.
21) Is a keypad lever lock an alternative to the Emtek Breslin privacy set for a bathroom?
They solve different problems. Mechanical keypad levers such as the Lockey 2835 with passage function, rated for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, control access by code from the outside. The Breslin privacy set locks from the inside by thumbturn with no code or key, which is what a bed or bath door normally calls for.
