Emtek 5207.MYL.RH.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Myles privacy leverset fit a 1-3/4 inch door with standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep?
Yes. The Myles privacy leverset drops into a standard door prep, 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The latch works at either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and you pick the backset when you order. One exception on the prep: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn.
2) Does the Emtek Myles privacy set come with a latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
It ships as a complete set, latch and strike plate included, so nothing else is needed to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in your door edge. Standard latch is set up for a 2-3/8 inch backset; call out 2-3/4 inch if your bore is set back further.
3) Is the Myles lever a keyed lock or just a bed and bath privacy lock?
Privacy function only, non-keyed. It is a bed and bath lock: thumbturn inside, emergency release outside, no cylinder and no key. If you need a keyed opening (an exterior door or an office) this is the wrong function. For a passage door with no locking at all, look at a passage set rather than this one.
4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Emtek Myles privacy lever?
Yes, handing is a required choice. The Myles privacy set is ordered left hand or right hand, so determine the swing at the opening before you order. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way on the door.
5) Is the Emtek Myles leverset rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential lock?
It is a residential lock. Solid brass, contemporary styling, tubular chassis. For a commercial corridor, a school, or an apartment common area where a graded lock is specified, go to a commercial cylindrical privacy lock instead, such as the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock or the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever.
6) My doors are 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek Myles privacy lever work?
No, not at 2 inches. The Myles privacy set covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker slabs, the Falcon K101 cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches and the Dexter C1000 Series covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, though both are commercial locks rather than designer residential trim.
7) Can I replace an existing tubular privacy knob with the Emtek Myles lever without redrilling the door?
In most cases yes. The Myles privacy set uses a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which is the same prep a common residential tubular privacy knob uses, so measure your existing backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches) and order to match. The one case that needs extra drilling is the STRETTO rosette, which requires a 1-1/4 inch bore and a second hole for the thumbturn.
8) What is a straight equivalent to the Emtek Myles privacy leverset from another brand?
For a decorative privacy lever on a bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose covers the same privacy function in a residential decorative lever. The Myles is a tubular lever set in brass with privacy/bed/bath function and can be ordered with a Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, or Urban Modern rosette; the Baldwin 5103 comes with the 5048 rose. Both are lever sets for a privacy opening, so the choice comes down to lever shape, rose shape, and finish rather than function.
9) What is a simpler privacy lever for a rental turn or a bedroom door where decorative brass is not needed?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is a Grade 3 privacy lever for a bed or bath door, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Emtek Myles is a brass privacy lever set with a choice of seven finishes including Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and six rosette styles. Both lock the same way from the inside; the Breton is a fixed-trim residential set, the Myles is built around finish and rosette selection.
10) The Myles is residential - what do I use on a commercial bathroom or patient room door that needs a graded privacy lock?
The Emtek Myles is a residential lever set. For a commercial privacy opening, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy lock with a fire rating, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick, though it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. For lever-operated commercial hardware on a similar opening, the Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is Grade 2 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Choose by whether the opening requires a lever for accessibility and by the graded and fire-rated requirements on the drawing.
11) Which levers look like a substitute for a privacy set but will not lock a bathroom door?
Passage and dummy levers share the trim look but not the function. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa round or square trim leversets are Grade 2 passage sets, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever with no latch action at all. None of them provide the inside locking of the Emtek Myles privacy/bed/bath set. If the door is a bedroom or bath that must lock from inside, the privacy function is the one to order.
12) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - which lever will cover it?
The Emtek Myles is prepped for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. If the opening is thicker, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead entry levers each cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are entry and passage functions rather than privacy, so confirm the function the opening needs before substituting on thickness alone.
13) What is the difference between the 28 degree latch and the CF mechanism option on Emtek leversets?
Three latch choices. Standard latch is the conventional one. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch shortens the lever swing needed to retract the bolt. The CF Mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. Pick CF if the look of the rose matters on the job; pick standard if it does not.
14) Can I match the Myles lever to the rosette style on the rest of my doors?
The Myles privacy lever can be ordered with any Emtek brass rosette. Six rose styles run on it: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. So if the other openings already use a square rose, you can keep the trim consistent and only change the lever.
15) What finishes does the Emtek Myles privacy lever come in, and can I mix finishes inside and outside?
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). A split finish option is available on the order if you want a different finish on each side of the door, which comes up in bedrooms and baths where the hall trim and the room trim do not match.
16) What is a comparable brass privacy lever to the Emtek Myles if I want a more traditional look?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with the 5048 rose is the closest designer-brand privacy leverset in the same residential class. The Myles is contemporary styling; the Estate 5103 reads more traditional. Both are privacy function, so the door prep decision is the same and the choice comes down to trim design.
17) I need a cheaper privacy lever for a rental turn. What else works on the same door prep?
The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lock covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Myles handles. It is the builder-grade option when the finish quality of a solid brass Emtek lever is not what the unit needs. For fleets of bedroom and bath doors it standardizes easily.
18) I need matching hardware on the hall and closet doors next to the privacy bedroom - what pairs with a Myles privacy set?
Passage doors take a non-locking lever. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the passage version of the same decorative family, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered left hand and right hand for a door leaf that does not latch. The Emtek Myles privacy set is non-keyed and handed left or right, so specify handing on each opening to keep the levers pointing the same way down the corridor.
19) I need the same door to be keyed instead of privacy - what takes its place?
The Emtek Myles is non-keyed. For a keyed opening in a decorative residential lever, the Deltana 5851 Claremont and 6201 Manchester are entry levers, and the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset. On the commercial side, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different at a 2-3/8 inch backset - which matters if the building is already keyed to Schlage C.
20) The bathroom is in a memory care or behavioral health unit - is a privacy lever the right choice?
A privacy set locks from the occupied side, which is not what a controlled unit usually calls for. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock (F87) is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder. Both key both sides rather than giving the occupant an inside thumbturn like the Emtek Myles privacy set.
21) What should I use if I want no key and no thumbturn but still need to control who gets in?
Keyless mechanical and electronic levers replace the credential rather than the privacy thumbturn. 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 covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Emtek Myles is a non-electronic set, so pick these only where a code-controlled opening is wanted instead of a bed and bath privacy lock.
22) How does the Emtek Myles differ from a commercial passage lever with the same lever look?
The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 flat lever passage lockset for a 1-3/4 inch door and the J75 is the Grade 2 version of the same flat lever passage set. Both are passage - they always turn. The Emtek Myles is a residential privacy set with a thumbturn, offered with a 28 Degree Rotation Latch, a Standard Latch, or the CF Mechanism that leaves no exposed screws on the rosette. If the interest is the clean look rather than the function, the CF Mechanism is the option that hides the fasteners.
23) Is the Emtek Myles privacy lever electronic or keypad operated?
No, it is fully mechanical, non-electronic, with a thumbturn for privacy. If you want keyless entry on an interior or utility door, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever lock and the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set are keyless options, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock.
