Emtek 7208.CR.RH.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Cimarron privacy leverset fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Cimarron privacy set drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 up to 2-1/4 inches thick. One exception on the prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the door needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole preparation for the thumbturn, not the usual single cross bore. So confirm which rosette you are ordering before anyone drills.
2) What backset do I need to specify on the Emtek Cimarron lever, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Backset is a required choice, and both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch are offered. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: residential doors are usually 2-3/8 inch and that is what the standard latch ships as, so you only need to call out 2-3/4 inch if your existing prep measures that. Getting it wrong means the latch will not reach the hole.
3) Is the Emtek Cimarron privacy lever handed, and how do I tell which hand I need?
Handing matters. The Cimarron is ordered left hand or right hand, so you have to determine the swing before ordering. Stand on the outside of the door (the hallway side for a bedroom or bath): if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. Order the wrong hand and the lever points uphill.
4) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch and the CF mechanism on the Emtek Cimarron?
Three latch choices. The standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens the lever swing needed to retract the bolt, which is what you want when a heavy lever would otherwise drop or feel long in the hand. The CF mechanism is the concealed fastener version, so the rosettes have no exposed screws, and it includes the 28 degree latch as part of the set. If the clean rosette face is the point, take CF.
5) Can I use the Emtek Cimarron sandcast bronze lever on a commercial office or classroom door?
No. The Cimarron is a residential tubular privacy lock in sandcast bronze, non-keyed, intended for bedroom and bath doors. For a commercial opening that needs a graded cylindrical lock, look at the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever, which is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. For a graded privacy function specifically, the Hager 2540 is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Cimarron privacy leverset if the room needs a bed and bath lock in a decorative brass line?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative-line match. Both are privacy/bed/bath function levers in a residential decorative program: the Cimarron is a privacy/bed/bath tubular lever in the Sandcast Bronze collection, and the Baldwin 5103 is catalogued for the same privacy/bed/bath function. Where they part company is the trim: the Emtek is a bronze-substrate lever offered on #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6 rosettes with left or right handing, while the Baldwin 5103 is supplied with the fixed 5048 rose. If a project has already standardized on a specific Emtek rosette across the other doors, that rosette choice is the reason to stay with the Cimarron.
7) The Cimarron privacy lever is residential; what carries an ANSI grade for a commercial bathroom door?
The Emtek Cimarron is a residential lever in a decorative bronze program. For a commercial restroom opening where the spec calls for a graded privacy lock, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock listed at Grade 1 with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Note the Arrow MK02-TA uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so it is not an ADA-style lever pull; the Hager keeps the lever handle. The Emtek remains the choice where the opening is residential and the bronze finish has to match adjacent doors.
8) Can a Deltana Claremont or Manchester lever be swapped in for the Emtek Cimarron privacy set?
Not for the same opening. The Deltana 5851 Claremont and Deltana 6201 Manchester are entry function levers, and the Manchester covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Entry function means a keyed outside trim; the Emtek Cimarron is non-keyed with a privacy/bed/bath function, which is the thumbturn-inside, emergency-release-outside arrangement a bedroom or bath door needs. They are both decorative solid-trim levers, so they read as interchangeable in a catalog and are not interchangeable in the door.
9) Does the Emtek Cimarron privacy set come with a latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
It is sold as a complete set: levers, rosettes, latch and strike plate are all in the box. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge. Nothing else is required to hang it on a prepped door.
10) Can I mix rosette styles across the doors in my house and still keep the same Cimarron lever?
Yes. The Cimarron lever can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette, and five are offered: #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6. That lets you keep one lever design across a house while varying the rose shape by room, or standardize the rose and keep the same look on every opening. Finish choices are Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze.
11) Does the Emtek Cimarron privacy lever take a key?
No key. It is a non-keyed privacy function: thumbturn inside, emergency release outside, which is the bed and bath setup. If you need a keyed exterior or office door instead, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and for a keyed entry the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes 6-pin Schlage C keyway and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) What is a comparable solid brass or bronze privacy lever if the Emtek Cimarron rosette style is not right?
The closest decorative alternative is the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose, same privacy bed and bath function in a designer line. The Cimarron differs in material and look: it is sandcast bronze with a rustic finish range rather than a polished estate lever, and it offers a concealed fastener rosette option. Pick on the look and the rose shape, since both do the same job on the door.
13) What is a simpler privacy lever for a bedroom door when the sandcast bronze trim is not needed?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. It is a plain-trim residential privacy lever, so it handles the same bedroom or bath duty as the Emtek Cimarron privacy set without the sandcast bronze rosette program. The Cimarron is the one to keep where the door thickness runs above 1-3/4 inch, since it is prepped for doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch bore, or where the Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze finish has to match other hardware in the house.
14) What Emtek-adjacent lever should go on the hall and closet doors that are being done at the same time as the bedrooms?
Privacy function is only correct where the door needs to lock from inside, so hall and closet doors take a passage lever instead. In the same decorative Estate line as the privacy comparison, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the passage version of that trim, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 Half Dummy is offered in left hand and right hand for a fixed pull on a non-latching door. The Emtek Cimarron privacy set is the bed and bath door; ordering it for a closet puts a thumbturn where nobody needs one.
15) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever that can replace the Emtek Cimarron on a door that needs coded access?
Yes, but it is a different function. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version of the same lock. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock at Grade 2. All three control who gets in by code; the Emtek Cimarron is a non-electronic privacy lever, locked from the inside only, so it suits a bedroom or bath and not a door that has to be opened by an authorized code from outside.
16) For a multi-family or hotel bathroom where the levers take constant traffic, what is the heavy duty alternative to a sandcast bronze privacy lever?
The Emtek Cimarron is a residential tubular lever. On high-traffic institutional openings, the graded cylindrical lines carry the duty ratings a facility spec usually asks for: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock, fire rated, with non-handed levers and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. Both are passage rather than privacy, so pair the door function to the room. The Cimarron matches the 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door range of the Falcon K101, which makes the door prep itself a wash between them.
17) The Emtek Cimarron is ordered left hand or right hand; what privacy or passage lever avoids specifying handing?
The Emtek Cimarron privacy set is handed, ordered left hand or right hand. If handing is a risk on a large order, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers. Both are passage function, so they do not lock; they solve the handing problem on hall and closet doors, not on the bed and bath doors the Cimarron is built for.
18) Will a Cal-Royal or Arrow cylindrical lever fit the same door prep as the Emtek Cimarron privacy set?
The Cimarron uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset on doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Cal-Royal AG05 storeroom lever and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever are both listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow GL01 passage lever is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. On a 1-3/4 inch door all three overlap the Cimarron's range, so the door itself is not the deciding factor. Function is: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with a deadlocking latchbolt and the Arrow GL01 is Grade 2 passage, neither of which gives the inside thumbturn a bath door needs.
19) I need matching passage and dummy levers to go with the Emtek Cimarron privacy set on the same hallway. Does the door thickness change?
No, the prep stays the same across the Cimarron functions: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness, and the same 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset choice. Order the privacy set for bed and bath doors and the passage version for closets and halls, keeping the rosette number and finish consistent so the openings match.
20) Can I order the Emtek Cimarron lever with two different finishes, one on each side of the door?
Yes, a split finish can be specified at order time as a free text option, along with the exact door thickness if yours is outside the usual 1-3/4 inch. That is how you match a dark hallway side to a lighter bedroom side without buying two sets.
