Emtek 5107.MC.RH.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Mercury passage leverset fit my existing door prep?
The Mercury passage set drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and works on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, and you pick which one when ordering. One exception on prep: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation.
2) Do I need to specify handing on the Emtek Mercury lever?
Yes. The Mercury is a handed lever, ordered either left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, it is left hand. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way.
3) Does a passage set mean there is no lock on the door?
Right, there is no locking at all. The Mercury passage set is non-keyed with a passage function, so the lever always retracts the latch from both sides. It is for halls, closets, and other openings that just need to stay shut. If you need the door to lock from inside for a bath or bedroom, order a privacy version instead.
4) Is the Emtek Mercury leverset suitable for a commercial building?
It is built as residential hardware, solid brass, contemporary styling, in a tubular cylindrical format. For a commercial corridor or a school, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial passage lever instead, such as the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever. Those are the ones spec writers accept on commercial openings.
5) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek Mercury passage set work?
No. The Mercury passage set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door, the Falcon K101 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
6) What decorative brass passage lever is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Mercury?
The closest decorative counterpart is the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose, which is also a passage function residential lever sold as a rose-mounted set. The Emtek Mercury differs in that it is a contemporary-style solid brass lever offered with six rosette shapes including Disk, Square, Modern Rectangular and Neos, and an optional concealed fastener mechanism that leaves no exposed screws on the rosette. The Bravura Miramar BV940-106 is another passage leverset with round trim in US4 satin brass, rated Grade 2.
7) What is a comparable passage leverset to the Emtek Mercury if the door is in a commercial building and needs a graded lock?
The Emtek Mercury passage leverset is a residential brass tubular lockset with a passage function. For a graded commercial passage lever on the same type of opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is another Grade 1 passage lever, vandal resistant and fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Either is the direction to go when a project spec calls out an ANSI grade; the Mercury is chosen for its brass finish range and rosette styling instead.
8) The Emtek Mercury passage lever does not lock. What should I use on a bedroom or bathroom door instead?
The Mercury passage set is non-keyed with a passage function, so the lever always retracts the latch and there is no locking of any kind. For a bedroom or bath you need a privacy function instead: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is a decorative privacy lever, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) Is a dummy lever the same thing as the Emtek Mercury passage set?
No. The Mercury passage set is a working latch set that includes the latch and strike plate and retracts the latch when the lever is turned. A dummy lever is surface-mounted trim with no latch at all, used on inactive or closet doors that are held by a ball catch or roller. If that is what the opening needs, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered in left hand and right hand versions, the Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty version. Do not order a dummy expecting it to latch the door.
10) The Emtek Mercury is handed. Which passage levers are non-handed if I do not want to track door swings?
Mercury passage sets are ordered left hand or right hand, so each opening has to be identified before the order goes in. If you would rather stock one part number for a whole building, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock in the 5300 Series.
11) For a high traffic corridor or school hallway door, is the Emtek Mercury the right passage lever?
The Mercury passage leverset is classified for residential use, so for an institutional corridor most specifications will point elsewhere. Heavy duty passage options include the Falcon T101 Grade 1 cylindrical passage lever with pressure release technology, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 fire rated passage lock, and the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lever with a clutching, non-keyed mechanism for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) What comes in the box with the Emtek Mercury passage leverset?
It ships as a complete set: levers, the rosettes you select, latch, and strike plate. The latch faceplate can be round corner or square corner to match your existing mortise in the door edge. Nothing else is required for a standard install.
13) What is the Emtek CF mechanism option and should I add it?
CF stands for Concealed Fastener. Choosing it gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a cleaner face, and the set is then supplied with a 28 degree latch. You can also add the 28 degree latch on its own, or skip both. The 28 degree latch gives a shorter lever rotation, which is what most people notice day to day.
14) Which rosette shapes can I get with the Mercury lever?
Six rosette styles pair with the Mercury lever: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Any brass rosette in the line can be ordered with it, so you can run a square rosette on contemporary trim or a disk on a softer opening and keep the same lever across the house.
15) What finishes does the Emtek Mercury passage lever come in, and can I mix them?
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). A split finish is available as an option at order time if you want one finish on the corridor side and another inside the room.
16) Can I match the Mercury passage lever with privacy and dummy levers on the same floor?
The Mercury is part of Emtek's brass collection and this version is the passage function only. To keep one look across a floor, order the matching Mercury privacy sets for bedrooms and baths and dummy levers for closet pairs, all in the same finish and rosette style you chose here. Keep the backset consistent, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so latch prep matches door to door.
17) Can I use the Emtek Mercury passage set where I need code entry, or do I need a keypad lever?
The Mercury is a mechanical, non-electronic, non-keyed passage lever, so it offers no code entry. For keyless code access on a lever, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, 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 Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
18) Is there a simpler residential passage lever than the Emtek Mercury for a hall or closet door?
Yes. The Emtek Mercury passage set is a solid brass lever offered in eight finishes and six rosette styles with an optional concealed fastener mechanism, which is more selection than a plain closet door usually needs. For a basic interior hall or closet opening, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 passage set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Both do the same latch-only job without the finish and rosette selection.
19) I need a keyed entry lever to match an Emtek Mercury passage set. What are the options?
The Mercury passage leverset is non-keyed, so it cannot be keyed for an entry door. Keyed entry levers in the same lever family of products include the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever, Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock, and the Falcon B511CP6D Grade 2 entry/office lever. These are different designs from the Mercury lever, so an exact visual match across an entry and an interior door is not something the keyed options provide.
20) My door is 2 inches thick. Does the Emtek Mercury fit, or should I look at something else?
The Mercury passage set covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch on the specification, with the broader range up to 2-1/4 inch noted for standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, so confirm the thickness at the time of order. If you want a lever published for thicker doors outright, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
21) What square-trim passage lever is comparable to the Emtek Mercury with a Square rosette?
The Mercury lever can be ordered with a Square rosette or a Modern Rectangular rosette for a squared contemporary look in solid brass. A comparable squared option is the Bravura Tampa BV333702, a passage leverset with square trim rated Grade 2. If you prefer round trim in the same Bravura family, the Atlanta BV333002 and Orlando BV333602 are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim.
22) I need a storeroom or classroom function on the same door prep as an Emtek Mercury passage lever. What works?
The Mercury is passage only and fits a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Locking functions on cylindrical lever prep include the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever, Grade 2, 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Dexter C1000 classroom lever is a Grade 1 clutching keyed option.
