Emtek 7108.CD.RH.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Cody passage lever fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Cody Sandcast Bronze passage set drops into standard door prep, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. That range takes in the usual 1-3/4 inch interior slab as well as thicker solid-core and rustic plank doors that a lot of levers will not reach. The latch supplied is set for a 2-3/8 inch backset unless you pick 2-3/4 inch, which is the other backset offered.
2) What backset do I need to measure before ordering an Emtek Cody lever?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. The Cody passage set ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard, and 2-3/4 inch is the alternative you have to call out on the order. Those are the two backsets in residential and light commercial work, so one of them will match your existing prep. Get it wrong and the lever will not line up with the hole.
3) Does a passage lever like the Emtek Cody lock, or do I need a privacy set for a bathroom?
Passage means no lock at all. The Cody set is non-keyed and has no thumbturn or push button, so the lever always retracts the latch from both sides. It is for halls, closets, pantries, and any door you only need to hold shut. For a bath or bedroom you want a privacy function instead; for an exterior or lockable door, a keyed entry set.
4) Is the Emtek Cody lever handed, and how do I tell left from right?
Handing matters here. The Cody lever is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, so the lever points the correct way once installed. Stand outside the door (the side you push from): if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. Many commercial passage levers are non-handed and reversible in the field, but a cast bronze lever like this is not, so decide before the order goes in.
5) Will an Emtek Cody lever go into the holes left by an old knob set?
If the old set used the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which nearly all residential knobs and levers do, the Cody drops straight in with no new drilling. Match the backset to what is there and check the latch faceplate shape, round corner or square corner, against the mortise already cut in the door edge so you are not chiseling. Bronze rosettes are generous in diameter, so they usually cover minor wear around the old trim.
6) What is the closest passage lever to the Emtek Cody sandcast bronze passage set if the door is commercial and needs a Grade 1 lock?
The Cody lever passage set is a residential tubular passage lockset in sandcast bronze, non-keyed. For a commercial opening that has to carry an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is another Grade 1 passage/closet lever, vandal resistant and fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are latch-only passage function like the Cody, so the door prep intent is the same; the difference is the duty rating and the finish program.
7) The Emtek Cody passage lever does not lock - what keyed lever covers an exterior or office door in the same job?
The Cody passage set is non-keyed, so a door that needs to be secured takes a different lock. The Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead are entry-function levers for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, which keeps the decorative character. On the commercial side the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 entry/office clutching keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
8) What looks like a substitute for the Emtek Cody passage lever but will not operate the door?
Dummy levers read as the same handle on the same rose but have no latch behind them - they are surface mounted pulls for an inactive leaf. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered in left hand and right hand versions, the BEST 9K 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim lever, the BEST 7KC 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. The Cody passage set is sold complete with latch and strike plate and bores a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so a dummy is not an interchangeable order.
9) What passage lever holds up better than the Emtek Cody on a high traffic corridor or school door?
The Cody is a residential set. Where the door cycles hard, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock; the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. A step down from those, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with non-handed levers and the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 flat-lever passage lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Which passage lever carries a fire rating if the Emtek Cody is going on a rated opening?
For a rated door assembly, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage/closet lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lock uses a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch with a round corner strike. The Emtek Cody passage set is a residential sandcast bronze lever.
11) What comes in the box with an Emtek Sandcast Bronze passage set, and do I need to buy the rose separately?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Rosette style is part of the order, and there are five to pick from (#1, #2, #3, #4, and #6), all in the Sandcast Bronze family, so nothing about the trim is a separate purchase. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner to suit the mortise already cut in your door edge.
12) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek levers and should I pick it?
CF is the concealed fastener build: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws showing on the face. Pick it when the hardware is on display and you do not want screw heads in the middle of a cast bronze rose. Ordering CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. The other two choices are the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on its own.
13) What finishes does the Emtek Cody sandcast bronze lever come in, and will they match across a whole house?
Three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are solid sandcast bronze, not plated, so each piece varies slightly and the finish darkens with handling over time. If you are outfitting a whole house or a run of units, order the doors together in one go rather than adding pieces later, and note that a split finish can be called out on the order if you need different finishes on the two faces of a door.
14) What is a comparable decorative passage lever to the Emtek Cody if I want a different look?
Staying in the decorative residential lane, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer ZenSupply stocks, same passage function, same designer-hardware category. Deltana's lever range is another option, though those are cataloged as entry function rather than passage. If cost matters more than casting, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. None of those are sandcast bronze, which is what you give up leaving the Cody.
15) I need a matching dummy lever for a closet door that does not latch. What pairs with a Cody set?
The Cody passage set is a working latching set, so it is not the part for a false or inactive door leaf. For that you need a dummy trim, which is just the lever and rose with no latch. Emtek builds the Cody in dummy form in the same Sandcast Bronze finishes, so ask for the Cody dummy rather than trying to adapt the passage set. On commercial-grade jobs, the BEST 9K Series 1DT and 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trims cover the same need.
16) Can I mix the Cody lever with a different Emtek rosette than the ones normally shown?
Any Sandcast Bronze rosette can be ordered under the Cody lever, and five are offered on the set itself (#1, #2, #3, #4, #6). One caution on rosette choice: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a two-hole door prep when used for thumbturn privacy, which is a different prep from the 2-1/8 inch cross bore the standard rosettes use. If you are drilling new doors, settle the rosette before you cut.
17) What is a simpler passage leverset than the Emtek Cody if the decorative bronze rosette program is not needed?
The Cody passage set is ordered by rosette style, handing, and latch type, which is what makes it a decorative specification. If the opening only needs a working passage lever, the Bravura Atlanta with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset, and the Bravura Orlando is the same Grade 2 passage function in a different lever design. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. All three are latch-only hall and closet function, the same as the Cody.
18) Does ordering a passage lever require picking a hand, or are there non-handed options?
The Emtek Cody passage set is ordered as left hand or right hand, so the hand of the door has to be established before the order goes in. If a non-handed lever simplifies stocking across a building, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock and the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever both use non-handed levers, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike.
19) Is there a keyless code-entry lever that gives the same free passage as the Emtek Cody when the door needs to be controlled part of the day?
The Cody set has no electronics and no cylinder. If the same closet or corridor door has to be restricted at times and left free at others, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock has a passage function and is ADA compliant, fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination in the same thickness range. 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.
20) What is a lower-cost-tier passage leverset alternative to the Emtek Cody for a rental turn?
The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the Cody passage set covers, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable latch and round corner strike. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. The Cody differs in being a sandcast bronze set ordered against a rosette choice and a 28 degree or standard latch.
21) What does the 28 degree latch do differently on an Emtek lever set?
The 28 degree rotation latch cuts how far the lever has to swing before the latch pulls back, so the handle moves a shorter arc to open the door. It can be ordered on its own with the Cody set, and it comes as part of the package if you choose the CF concealed-fastener mechanism. The standard latch is the third option if you have no reason to change it.
22) What is the difference between the Accentra 5301LN and 4601LN Augusta passage levers when cross-shopping a passage lockset?
Both are Grade 2 cylindrical lever locks in passage/hall/closet function with Augusta trim - the 5301LN belongs to the 5300 Series and the 4601LN to the 4600 Series. Accentra also builds the 455LN Augusta as a Grade 1 single dummy in the 5400 Series, which carries the same lever appearance with no latch. The Emtek Cody passage set is the sandcast bronze counterpart in the same passage function.
