Emtek 5207.TRT.RH.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Triton privacy leverset fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Triton privacy 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, so a typical 1-3/4 inch interior door is right in the middle of the range. One exception on prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the thumbturn side needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation instead of the standard single cross bore.
2) What backset do I need to order for the Emtek Triton lever, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. If that is 2-3/8 inches, order the standard latch, which is what ships by default. If your prep is bored at 2-3/4 inches (common on exterior-width and some commercial-style doors), specify the 2-3/4 inch backset at order time. Backset is a required choice on the Triton privacy set, so you are picking one either way.
3) Does the Emtek Triton privacy set come with a latch and strike, or do I need to buy those separately?
It ships as a complete set, latch and strike plate included. Nothing else to order to hang it on a prepped door. You do choose the latch style: standard latch, the 28 degree rotation latch, or the CF mechanism, which hides the rosette screws and comes with the 28 degree latch. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so match whichever your existing door mortise is cut for.
4) Is the Emtek Triton lever handed, and how do I tell left hand from right hand?
Handing matters here. The Triton privacy set is ordered left hand or right hand, so it is not a lever you can flip on site. Stand on the outside of the door, the side you push from. If the hinges are on your left, it is left hand; hinges on the right, right hand. Get this wrong and the lever points the wrong way against the door.
5) Is the Emtek Triton leverset rated for a commercial building or an apartment corridor?
The Triton is a residential tubular leverset in solid brass, built for homes and residential interiors. For a commercial corridor, a school, or a high-traffic multi-family opening, step up to a heavy duty cylindrical lock instead, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 are the kind of thing that belongs on that door. If the opening is a fire-rated bathroom or bedroom door, use a lock the manufacturer rates for it.
6) Will the Emtek Triton privacy lever replace an existing Kwikset or builder-grade lever without redrilling the door?
In most cases yes. If the door is already bored at 2-1/8 inches with a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the standard residential prep, the Triton drops straight in, and it accepts 2-3/4 inch backset if that is what your prep measures. The one thing to check is door thickness, the Triton runs 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Trim off the old latch faceplate shape too, order round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in the door edge.
7) What is a direct alternative to the Emtek Triton privacy leverset for a bedroom or bath door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the closest like-for-like swap: same privacy/bed/bath function, same decorative lever-on-rose format for a residential interior door. The Triton privacy set is brass with a choice of Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, or Urban Modern rosette, so if the rose shape is what has to match the other doors in the house, the Triton side is where the rosette selection lives.
8) Which privacy lever should be used on a commercial door instead of the Emtek Triton?
The Triton lever is a residential-duty brass privacy set. For a commercial opening, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Arrow MK02-TA is another privacy cylindrical lock, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Both are ANSI-graded commercial locks, where the Triton is a decorative residential set.
9) The Triton privacy lever will not work on my door because it is 2 inches thick. What privacy or passage lever fits a thicker door?
The Triton set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a 2 inch door, the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are passage function rather than privacy, so if a lock button is required on a 2 inch door, the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock is rated 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
10) Can I use the Triton privacy lever on a door that needs a key?
No. The Triton lever is non-keyed, with a privacy/bed/bath function that locks from the inside only. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester is an entry lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
11) For a school or healthcare corridor, is the Triton lever the right privacy lock?
The Triton is a residential brass leverset. Institutional openings usually call for a Grade 1 cylindrical lock: the Dexter C1000 Asylum (F87) is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Dexter C1000 Classroom is Grade 1 clutching and keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
12) Can I mix the Triton lever with a different rosette shape to match my other Emtek doors?
Yes, the Triton lever can be ordered on any brass rosette, and six shapes are offered: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern. That is how you keep a house or unit consistent, pick the rosette that matches the trim already on your other openings and put the Triton lever on it. If you want the rosettes with no exposed screws, choose the CF mechanism.
13) What finishes does the Emtek Triton lever come in, and can I get two different finishes on one door?
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). Split finish is an option, so you can run one finish on the hall side and another inside the room, useful when a bathroom or closet interior is a different palette from the corridor. Note Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will patina.
14) What is a cheaper privacy leverset than the Emtek Triton for a rental turn?
For a unit turnover where a solid brass designer lever is more than the door needs, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is a Grade 3 privacy set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. On the commercial side, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever fitting 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The Triton is the choice when the finish and the rosette matter, brass body and seven finishes; the other two are the choice when the door just needs to lock.
15) I want the same Triton lever on my closet and hall doors but they should not lock. What do I order?
A privacy set is not the right part for a closet or hall door, the thumbturn there just creates a lockout. You want a passage function lever instead, same lever family, no locking. Emtek builds the Triton in a passage version. If you are matching across a whole floor of doors, order the same rosette shape and finish on both the privacy and passage sets so the openings read identically.
16) My door is thicker than standard, around 2 inches. Does the Emtek Triton still work?
It does. The Triton privacy set is built for doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch slab is covered without any extension kit. Enter the actual thickness when you order so the set is built with the right spindle length. Doors under 1-3/8 inch fall outside the range.
17) What is a lower-cost privacy lever alternative to the Emtek Triton for a rental unit?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. It covers the same bedroom and bathroom function in a builder-grade package. The Triton is a brass set with seven finishes including Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Flat Black (US19) and six rosette styles, so it is the choice when the trim has to be specified rather than just functional.
18) I need a matching lever for a closet or hall door next to a Triton privacy set. What are the options?
The Triton privacy set is a privacy/bed/bath function only, so a closet or hall opening needs a passage lever. In the same decorative residential family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose matches the 5103 privacy version on the adjacent door. For a commercial-grade closet door, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed passage lever and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet lever.
19) Is a dummy lever the same as a Triton privacy set?
No. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch and no locking mechanism, used on inactive or closet doors that hold shut with a catch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed as a left hand and a right hand version, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a non-keyed Grade 2 dummy. The Triton privacy set is a working latching lock: it ships as a complete set with latch and strike plate and locks from the inside for a bedroom or bath.
20) What is an alternative to the Emtek Triton for a bathroom door that needs keyless code entry?
The Triton is a mechanical, non-electronic privacy set. For code entry 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, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2. These are code-entry functions rather than an inside privacy turn.
21) Does the Triton privacy lever have to be ordered handed like the Baldwin dummy levers?
The Triton privacy set is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and the backset is chosen at 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Handing works the same way on the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is sold as separate left hand and right hand items. By contrast the Falcon B101 passage lever is a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 uses non-handed levers, so those do not need a hand called out on the order.
22) What is the 28 degree latch on the Emtek Triton and should I pick it?
The 28 degree rotation latch shortens how far the lever has to swing before the latch retracts, giving a lighter, shorter throw at the handle. It is included automatically when you select the CF mechanism, the version with no exposed screws on the rosette. You can also order it on its own with a standard rosette. If neither matters to you, the standard latch is the default.
23) What is a good substitute for the Triton privacy lever when the finish needs to be satin brass?
The Triton set includes Satin Brass (US4) among its finishes, along with Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14). If a passage lever in the same finish family is needed on a neighboring door, the Bravura Miramar with Round Trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass. Note the Miramar is passage function, so it does not lock.
24) I want a contemporary square-trim lever like the Triton but in a passage function. What matches?
The Triton is a contemporary-style lever and its rosette choices include a Square Rosette and a Modern Rectangular Rosette. For a passage lever with square trim, the Bravura Tampa with Square Trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset. Bravura also offers the Atlanta and the Orlando with round trim, both Grade 2 passage.
