Emtek 5107.SIO.RH.US7 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Sion passage lever fit a 1-3/4 inch door with standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep?
Yes. The Sion passage leverset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. One caveat on rosette choice: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a two-hole door prep for the thumbturn privacy version, so it is not a plain drop-in on standard prep. The rosette styles offered here (Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, Urban Modern) all work on the standard prep.
2) My existing door bores are 2-3/4 inch backset. Do I have to order the Emtek Sion lever differently?
Yes, backset is a required choice on the Sion passage set. The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch has to be specified at order time. Both are offered. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore before you order; 2-3/8 is typical on residential interior doors and 2-3/4 shows up on heavier or exterior-style prep.
3) Does a passage lever like the Emtek Sion lock, or do I need privacy for a bedroom?
Passage means no lock at all. The Sion passage set is non-keyed with no thumbturn or pushbutton, so the lever always retracts the latch from both sides. It is the right function for a hall, closet, or a pair of doors you never need to secure. For a bedroom or bathroom you want the privacy version with a thumbturn, and for a keyed opening you want an entry function instead.
4) Is the Emtek Sion lever handed, and what happens if I order the wrong hand?
Handing matters here. The Sion lever is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, and unlike many commercial cylindrical levers it is not field-reversible by simply flipping the lever. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. If you need a non-handed lever that installs either way, the Falcon B101 and Falcon K101 passage levers are built with non-handed levers.
5) What comes in the box with the Emtek Sion passage leverset, or do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to order to hang it, though you do choose the latch type. Picking the CF Mechanism (the version with no exposed screws on the rosettes) includes the 28 degree latch. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge.
6) Is the Emtek Sion leverset suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
The Sion is a residential-rated tubular leverset, and it is not the right pick for a commercial corridor, a fire-rated opening, or high-traffic institutional use. For those openings you want a graded cylindrical lock: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lever with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal-resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Use the Emtek where the look matters and the traffic is residential.
7) I need to lock the door - what keyed lever takes the place of the Emtek Sion passage set?
The Sion is non-keyed, so it cannot secure an opening. For a keyed entry or office lever, the Dexter C1000 entry/office is Grade 1 clutching and keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset. For a storeroom opening, the Cal-Royal AG05 is Grade 2 with a deadlocking latchbolt.
8) Which decorative brass lever is the closest match to the Emtek Sion passage set for a residential job?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the nearest decorative equivalent, sold in the same passage/hall/closet function. Baldwin builds the 5103 across the same family of functions - privacy and left and right hand half dummy - so a house can be finished on one trim design, which is how the Sion is also offered, in passage with left and right handing and a choice of six rosettes.
9) Can I use the Emtek Sion passage set on a bedroom or bathroom door?
No. The Sion is a passage lock - non-keyed with no locking function, intended for hall and closet openings. For a bedroom or bath, a privacy function is required: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose keeps the same decorative trim family, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever 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.
10) Is a dummy lever the same as the Emtek Sion passage set?
No, and they are not interchangeable. The Sion passage set operates a latch and ships as a complete set with latch and strike plate. A dummy lever is surface-mounted trim with no latch at all, used on inactive leaves and closet doors held by a ball catch. If that is what the opening needs, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a left hand and a right hand half dummy, the BEST 9K 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim lever, and the BEST 7KC 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent.
11) What should I use instead of the Emtek Sion passage lever on a fire rated opening?
The Sion is a residential passage set and is specified without a fire rating. Where the door assembly requires a fire rated passage lock, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock with non-handed levers, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated vandal resistant passage/closet lever. Both are non-keyed passage function, the same operation as the Sion.
12) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek levers?
Three choices on the Sion passage set. The standard latch is the conventional rotation. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens the lever swing, which is the lighter, more modern feel Emtek pairs with its contemporary levers. The CF Mechanism is the concealed fastener build, so the rosettes show no exposed screws on the face of the door, and it comes with the 28 degree latch included. If clean rosettes with no visible screw heads are the reason you are buying a designer lever, CF is the option to select.
13) Can I match the Emtek Sion lever to the other brass hardware in the house?
Eight finishes are offered on the Sion passage lever: 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 body is solid brass. Two things worth knowing for a fleet of doors: Unlacquered Brass is a living finish that will darken with handling, so new units will not match ones installed a year ago, and a split finish (different finish inside and out) can be specified at order.
14) What is a comparable designer passage lever to the Emtek Sion if I want a different look?
For a decorative residential passage lever in the same class, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer we carry. If you want the same clean modern lever at Grade 2, the Bravura Tampa with square trim or the Bravura Orlando with round trim are passage leversets in that range, and the Bravura Miramar comes in US4 Satin Brass if brass is what you are matching. The Emtek keeps the advantage on rosette and finish choice, since the lever can be ordered with any brass rosette.
15) Do I need to state my door thickness when ordering the Emtek Sion lever?
Only if it is outside the norm. The Sion passage set fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors with standard prep, and there is a door thickness field on the order to note yours. Standard commercial and most modern interior doors are 1-3/4 inch, older interior doors are commonly 1-3/8 inch, and both are covered without any special part. Thick doors approaching 2-1/4 inch are where stating the measurement matters.
16) What is a simpler lever to use instead of the Emtek Sion passage set on an interior hall door?
The Sion passage set is a solid brass designer lever offered in eight finishes and six rosette styles with left and right handing. Where the trim does not need to match a decorative package, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Bravura also builds the Atlanta and Orlando passage leversets with round trim at Grade 2, and the Tampa with square trim.
17) Does the Emtek Sion passage lever have to be ordered handed, and what is a non-handed alternative?
The Sion passage set is ordered by hand, left or right. On a crew doing a mix of openings, a non-handed lock removes that decision at the counter: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers.
18) What passage lever holds up better than the Emtek Sion in a high-traffic corridor?
The Sion is a residential brass passage set. Where the corridor cycles heavily, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. At a step down, the Design Hardware J75 is the Grade 2 flat lever passage lockset.
19) Is the Accentra 5301LN a substitute for the Emtek Sion passage leverset?
They share the passage/hall/closet function but not the application. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in the 5300 Series, and Accentra also builds the 4601LN in the 4600 Series as a Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim - both commercial-grade chassis with commercial trim. The Sion is a brass residential lever in a contemporary style, offered in eight finishes including unlacquered brass and French antique. Choose on whether the opening is being specified to a commercial grade or finished to a decorative package.
20) I want a keyless code entry lever instead of a keyed lock - what works where the Emtek Sion passage set would go?
The Sion is a mechanical non-electronic passage lever. For code entry on the same lever format, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 2835DC is the double combination version over the same thickness range. The Lockey 1150 is the heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, with the 1150S adding an adjustable backset.
21) I need a matching dummy lever for the inactive leaf of a double door. Does Emtek Sion cover that?
The Sion passage set is a functioning latching set, not a dummy. For an inactive leaf or a false door where you only need a pull, order the dummy version of the same lever so the trim matches. If you are working in a different brand, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a left hand and right hand half dummy that matches its own passage lever, and BEST offers the 7KC and 9K single dummy trim for commercial openings.
22) The Emtek Sion takes a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset - what if my door is already bored for one fixed backset?
The Sion passage set is ordered for a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, with the standard latch supplied for 2-3/8 inch. Where an existing prep is fixed at 2-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever in the AG Series is built to a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is built to 2-3/8 inch. The Lockey 1150S keypad lever set is offered with an adjustable backset.
