Emtek 7208.CD.RH.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Cody privacy lever fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The Cody privacy leverset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore on doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick, and the latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. One exception on the prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the thumbturn privacy side needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation instead, so that one is not a straight drop-in to an existing bore.
2) Which backset do I order for the Emtek Cody lever, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Backset is a required choice on the Cody lever and both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch are offered. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore: 2-3/8 inches is the common residential setting, 2-3/4 the deeper one. The standard latch ships set for 2-3/8 inches, so call out 2-3/4 on the order if that is what your prep measures.
3) Does the Emtek Cody privacy lever need to be handed?
Handing matters here. The Cody lever is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, so you need to establish the door's hand before ordering. Stand outside the door (the side you push from): if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, on the right it is right hand. Order the wrong hand and the lever points the wrong way.
4) Is the Emtek Cody a keyed lock or a bed and bath privacy lock?
Privacy function, non-keyed. The Cody lever locks from the inside with a thumbturn or pushbutton for a bedroom or bathroom, and there is no cylinder and no key. If you need a keyed opening, a privacy set is the wrong function, look at an entry or keyed lever instead.
5) Will the Emtek Cody lever work on a 2 inch thick solid door?
Yes, up to 2-1/4 inches. The Cody privacy set covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors with the standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, which takes in thick solid core and rustic plank doors that a typical residential lockset will not reach. There is a door thickness field on the order, so state the actual thickness if it is over the usual 1-3/4 inches.
6) The Cody privacy set is for a residential door - what should I use on a commercial bathroom that gets heavy traffic?
The Cody sandcast bronze privacy set is classed residential, so on a high-traffic commercial restroom the graded peers are the better fit: the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever and a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock that is fire rated, with a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range on a Tudor knob. Where a public restroom needs the apartment exit or public toilet function rather than plain privacy, the Accentra 107S is catalogued to that Grade 1 function.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Emtek Cody privacy leverset?
The Cody lever privacy set is a non-keyed tubular privacy/bed/bath lever, so the closest peer in function is the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose, which is also a privacy/bed/bath lever in a decorative residential style. If the opening wants a graded commercial privacy lock instead, the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a fire rating - though the Arrow uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. Function matches on all three; trim style and grading are where they part ways.
8) I need the same Cody lever on a hall or closet door where no lock is wanted - what do I order instead?
The Cody set is built as a privacy/bed/bath lock with a thumbturn, so it is not the part for a door that should never latch shut. For passage duty in the same decorative family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is a passage/hall/closet lever, and the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset. On a door that only needs a pull with no latch at all, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed left or right, matching the way the Cody set itself is ordered left hand or right hand.
9) Which lever locks look like a substitute for the Cody privacy set but are not?
Several nearby levers share the tubular cylindrical body and still will not do the job. The Cody set is non-keyed privacy with a thumbturn, so keyed entry products such as the Deltana 5851 Claremont Lever Entry and the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock are a different function entirely. Dummy trim such as the BEST 7KC Series single dummy and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever has no latch at all. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever and the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock are code-entry devices, while the Cody is a non-electronic mechanical set. And the Arrow MK02-TA carries the privacy function but on a Tudor knob rather than a lever, which matters where lever operation is required.
10) The opening needs a fire rated privacy lever - does the Cody set cover that, and what does?
The Cody privacy set is a residential sandcast bronze lever. Where a fire rating is called out on the drawing, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock listed with a fire rating, though it carries a Tudor knob. For a fire rated non-keyed lever in the same rough family, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, also fire rated.
11) What comes in the box with the Emtek Cody privacy leverset?
The Cody privacy set ships complete: both levers, the rosettes you specify, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is required to hang it on a correctly prepped door. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so match whichever your existing mortise in the door edge is cut for.
12) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on the Emtek Cody?
Three latch choices on the Cody lever. Standard latch is the conventional one. The 28 degree rotation latch takes less lever travel to retract the bolt, which is the lighter action some people prefer. The CF mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. If the look of the rose matters on the job, CF is the one to specify.
13) What finishes and rosette styles does the Emtek Cody sandcast bronze lever come in?
Three finishes on the Cody: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Rosettes are #1, #2, #3, #4, and #6, and the Cody lever can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette, so you can match the rose shape already used elsewhere in the house and keep the finish consistent across openings. There is also a split finish option if you want a different finish inside than out.
14) What is a comparable privacy lever to the Emtek Cody in a decorative residential line?
The closest decorative peer is the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose, same privacy bed and bath function in a designer residential line. If the budget is tighter, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 residential privacy option rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. What the Cody gives you over both is sandcast bronze rather than plated brass, and a choice of five rosette styles.
15) Is a Grade 2 or Grade 3 lever a fair substitute for the Emtek Cody privacy set on a bedroom door?
On function they line up - the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lock rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cody set is specified for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Where they differ is the trim: the Cody is a sandcast bronze lever offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze across five rosette styles, and the graded commercial peers such as the Hager 2540 Withnell come in a single utilitarian trim design. Buyers matching a rustic bronze fleet usually stay with the Cody; buyers matching an existing Grade 2 or Grade 3 program go to the peer.
16) I am standardizing a building on one lever design - can I get the Cody in other functions, or do I switch brands per opening?
The Cody sandcast bronze lever is offered as a privacy/bed/bath set. To hold one lever design across privacy, passage and dummy openings in a decorative residential program, the Baldwin Estate 5103 family runs all three - privacy, passage, and half dummy in left and right hand - on the same 5048 rose. For a commercial program instead, the Falcon B Series covers passage with the B101 Grade 2 medium duty lever and entry/office with the B511CP6D, and the Hager line runs the Withnell lever through passage on the 2510, privacy on the 2540, and storeroom on the 2580.
17) Cody privacy versus keyless pushbutton - which do I put on a shared bathroom or utility room?
The Cody set is a non-keyed privacy lever with a thumbturn, locked from inside the room. If the requirement is controlled access rather than occupant privacy, the keyless peers work differently: the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors. For a room needing an institutional function with a key, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock on a Schlage C keyway.
18) Does the Cody privacy set need handing like the Baldwin dummy levers do?
Yes - the Cody lever is ordered left hand or right hand, the same way the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is split into a left hand and a right hand part number. That is a real ordering difference against the non-handed commercial peers: the Falcon B101 and the Falcon K101 are both built with non-handed levers, so one part number covers either swing. On a fleet order where swings are mixed and not verified, the non-handed peers remove a step; where the bronze trim is the requirement, the Cody handing has to be called out per opening.
19) Can I get the Emtek Cody lever in a passage or dummy version to match the rest of the doors?
The Cody privacy set is the bed and bath version. To keep one lever design across a whole floor you would pair it with the passage version on hall and closet doors and a dummy on non-latching doors, all in the same Sandcast Bronze finish and rosette number so the openings read as a set. Specify the same finish code (FB, MB, or TWB) and the same rosette number across the order.
