Emtek Modern Designer Brass Leverset - Geneva Lever, Privacy Set

Yes. The Geneva privacy set drops into standard door prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick, and a latch set for a 2-3/8 inch backset with 2-3/4 inch available if that is what your doors are bored for. One exception on the rosette side: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn.

Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. 2-3/8 inches is the common residential backset and is what the standard latch ships as; 2-3/4 inches is the other usual measurement and has to be specified when you order, since backset is a required selection on the Geneva set. Get it wrong and the lever body will not line up with the hole.

Handing matters. The Geneva lever is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so you need to know which way the door swings and which side the hinges are on before you order. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand. There is no reversing it in the field the way a non-handed commercial lever like the Falcon B101 can be flipped.

It ships complete. The Geneva privacy set includes the lever trim, the latch, and the strike plate, so nothing else is needed to hang it on a bored door. 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 standalone 28 degree latch option, that 28 degree latch is what ships in place of the standard one.

It is a residential product. The Geneva is a solid brass tubular privacy lockset for bedrooms and bathrooms, non-keyed, and it is not built or graded for commercial traffic. For a commercial opening, a Grade 1 cylindrical lever like the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is the right class of hardware. The Geneva belongs on interior doors in homes, model units, and finish-driven residential work.

Privacy is the one with the thumbturn. The Geneva privacy set locks from the inside for a bedroom or bathroom and takes no key. If the door is a hall, closet, or pantry that only needs to latch, you want a passage lever instead, such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage or the Bravura Atlanta. And if the door needs no latch at all, a fixed lever, a half dummy such as the Baldwin 5103 LH or RH half dummy is the part.

Yes, up to 2-1/4 inches. The Geneva privacy set covers doors from 1-3/8 inches through 2-1/4 inches with standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, which takes in the thicker solid core and custom slab doors that a lot of residential locksets top out below. There is a door thickness field on the order so you can state the actual measurement.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative-brand equivalent: it is a privacy/bed/bath lever set in the same residential decorative category as the Geneva. The Geneva privacy set is a tubular privacy/bed/bath leverset in brass, ordered by handing (left or right hand) and by rosette, with six rosette shapes including Disk, Square, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos and Urban Modern. The Baldwin 5103 privacy is sold with the 5048 rose, so the rose shape is fixed rather than selected. Both give a bedroom or bathroom door a push-button or thumbturn privacy lever rather than a keyed lock.

The Emtek Geneva privacy leverset is a residential brass lever. For a commercial opening that needs a graded privacy lock, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. If the door is a knob opening rather than a lever opening, the Arrow MK02-TA is a fire rated privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick.

A hall or closet door needs a passage function, which latches but does not lock, rather than the privacy/bed/bath function the Emtek Geneva set provides. In the same decorative family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is a passage/hall/closet lever. Bravura also offers passage leversets in decorative trim, including the Miramar with round trim in US4 Satin Brass, a Grade 2 passage leverset - US4 Satin Brass is one of the seven Geneva finishes as well.

The Emtek Geneva privacy leverset is non-keyed, so it does not secure an entry door. Deltana offers decorative keyed entry levers that fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, including the 6201 Manchester, the 6411 Morant and the 6431 Linstead, all entry function. The Deltana 5851 Claremont is also an entry lever. On the commercial side, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

The Emtek Geneva privacy leverset is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 non-handed passage cylindrical lock rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick and is fire rated. The Dexter C1000 asylum lever is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are keyed-family commercial locks rather than decorative residential trim, so confirm the function matches what the room needs before substituting.

CF hides the mounting screws. Order the CF mechanism and the rosettes have no exposed screws on the face, which is the difference between hardware that looks finished on a bedroom door and hardware with two visible screw heads. The CF mechanism ships with the 28 degree latch. You can also take the 28 degree latch by itself without CF, or skip both and take the standard mechanism.

Six rosette shapes are offered on the Geneva lever: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Any brass rosette in the line can be paired with the Geneva lever, so you can run square rosettes on a contemporary job or disk rosettes elsewhere and keep the same lever throughout.

Seven finishes are offered on the Geneva lever: Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, which is the point of it if the rest of the house is living finish. There is also a split finish option on the order form if you need a different finish on each side of the door, say a black exterior corridor side and brass inside.

No key. The Geneva privacy set is a non-keyed function, thumbturn inside and emergency release outside, so it cannot be keyed into an existing system. For a keyed opening in the same residential class, look at an entry or entrance function leverset such as the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. It covers the same bedroom and bathroom privacy job as the Emtek Geneva privacy leverset, which is a residential brass tubular privacy set. The difference is configurability: the Geneva is ordered by handing, rosette shape and finish across seven finishes from Flat Black (US19) to Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), while the Breton is a fixed lever and trim combination.

No. A dummy lever is a pull only - it has no latch and no privacy mechanism. The Emtek Geneva privacy set is a tubular privacy/bed/bath lock sold complete with latch and strike plate. If what the opening needs is a surface pull on an inactive leaf, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is offered in left hand and right hand versions, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Match the dummy to the same lever design as the working doors so the set reads consistently.

The Emtek Geneva privacy set is ordered as left hand or right hand. If a single non-handed part number is what you want to stock, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 non-handed passage lock. Both are passage function, so they suit hall and closet doors rather than the bedroom and bathroom privacy job the Geneva covers.

A keypad lever is a different device class. The Emtek Geneva privacy set is a non-electronic, non-keyed privacy lever. Lockey makes mechanical keyless lever locks that need no battery: the 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the 2835DC adds a double combination, and the 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination, passage function, for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. These are passage-function code entry devices, not bed and bath privacy sets, so they suit a controlled door rather than a bathroom.

The Emtek Geneva privacy set offers a Concealed Fastener (CF) Mechanism so the rosettes carry no exposed screws, and that option is supplied with a 28 degree latch. Among other decorative levers, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever is furnished with the 5048 rose, and Bravura passage leversets such as the Atlanta and Orlando come with round trim. Pick the concealed fastener option at the time of order - it changes the rose mechanism, not a part you can swap in later on site.

The Emtek Geneva privacy set carries the square shape in its rosette choice - Square Rosette and Modern Rectangular Rosette sit alongside Disk, Modern, Neos and Urban Modern, and the latch faceplate is available with round or square corners. From another brand, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, while the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando use round trim in the same Grade 2 passage family. Note the Bravura options named here are passage rather than privacy function.
