Emtek 7108.D.RH.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Durango passage leverset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or do I need something else for a thicker slab?
The Durango sandcast bronze passage set covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors on a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, so both the common older 1-3/8 interior slab and a thick 2-1/4 inch door work. There is a Door Thickness field on the order form, so give the actual thickness when you order rather than assuming standard. If you're above 2-1/4 inches, this isn't the set.
2) Do I need to re-drill my door to install an Emtek Durango lever, or does it drop into the existing prep?
Standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore is all the Durango passage set needs, which is the prep almost every residential door already has from a previous tubular lockset. Backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so an existing hole at either of the two usual backsets works. The one exception: if you spec the STRETTO rosette on a privacy thumbturn, that wants a 1-1/4 inch bore and a two-hole prep instead.
3) How do I measure backset for an Emtek Durango leverset and which one do I order?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. 2-3/8 inches is typical on interior residential doors, 2-3/4 inches on many exterior and some builder-grade openings. Backset is a required choice on the Durango passage set and the standard latch ships 2-3/8; call out 2-3/4 if that is what the door measures.
4) Does an Emtek Durango passage lever need to be handed, and what happens if I order the wrong hand?
Handing matters here. The Durango is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, so stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's LH, hinges on the right is RH. A sandcast bronze lever is a cast shape, not a reversible stamped one, so the wrong hand points the lever the wrong way on the door. Get the hand right at order time.
5) What does passage function mean on the Emtek Durango, and will it lock a bathroom?
No lock at all. Passage function means the Durango latches the door shut and both levers always retract it, with no key and no thumbturn. That's what you want on a hall, closet, pantry, or a door held closed for draft and privacy-by-courtesy only. For a bath or bedroom you need the privacy version with a thumbturn, and for an exterior or keyed opening you need an entry or keyed lockset. The Durango passage set is non-keyed.
6) Is the Emtek Durango lever OK for a commercial building or an apartment turn?
Emtek lists the Durango sandcast bronze passage set as residential, and it's a tubular lockset. For a commercial corridor, a school, or a high-traffic multi-family door you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical passage lock instead: the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty passage and fire rated with a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door range, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is Grade 1 vandal resistant passage and fire rated for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever covering 1-3/8 to 2 inches. The Durango is the right answer for a house, a bronze-detail remodel, or a hospitality interior where the look drives the choice.
7) The bathroom door needs a lock button, not a passage lever - what should I order instead of the Durango passage set?
Passage function on the Emtek Durango has no locking button, so a bath or bedroom door needs a privacy set. In a decorative lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is privacy/bed/bath function. On the commercial side the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 privacy for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) If the door needs to lock with a key, is the Durango passage set the wrong choice?
Yes - the Emtek Durango passage set is non-keyed, so the lever always turns and there is no cylinder. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Dexter C1000 entry/office is a Grade 1 keyed clutching lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset. In decorative trim, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever is an entry function set for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) What is the difference between the Durango passage set and a dummy lever - can I use one for the other?
No. The Emtek Durango passage set is a working latching lever sold complete with latch and strike plate, so it holds the door closed. A dummy lever is surface mounted with no latch at all: the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes as a left hand or right hand unit with the 5048 rose, the BEST 9K 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy. Use a dummy only on an inactive leaf or a door held by a ball catch.
10) The door on my job is 2 inches thick - will the Durango passage set cover it or do I need something else?
The Emtek Durango passage set fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard door prep. If you would rather use a commercial passage lever on a thick door, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 Withnell passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage/closet lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Watch the narrower ones: the Design Hardware J75 and X75 passage levers are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
11) Does a fire rated passage lever exist if the closet door is in a rated wall?
The Emtek Durango passage set is a residential passage lever. Where a fire rating has to be carried on a passage opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock for 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. Kwikset also lists the 200DL Delta passage lever supplied with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike.
12) What's actually in the box with an Emtek Durango passage set, and do I have to buy the latch separately?
Complete set: both levers, the rosettes you choose, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to buy to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match whatever corner your existing mortise in the door edge already is and you won't be chiseling.
13) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek Durango levers and should I pay for it?
CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the rose face is clean cast bronze rather than showing fasteners. It's a visual call, not a function one, and it includes the 28 degree latch. The other two latch choices are the standard latch and the 28 degree rotation latch on its own. The 28 degree latch is a shorter lever rotation to retract the bolt, which is the easier action for someone with limited hand strength.
14) Can I match Emtek Durango levers to the other sandcast bronze hardware already on my house?
The Durango takes any Sandcast Bronze rosette, and five rose shapes are offered on the passage set: #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6. Finishes are Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB), the same sandcast bronze family used across Emtek's Sandcast collection, so pick the rose and finish that match your existing doors. There's also a split finish field on the order form if you need one side of the door different from the other, which is how you handle a room that faces two different finish schemes.
15) What's a comparable decorative passage lever if the Emtek Durango doesn't suit the room?
For a similar designer-grade look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the closest cross-brand equivalent in decorative residential passage trim. If you want something plainer and less expensive to spread across a lot of interior doors, the Bravura Miramar, Atlanta and Orlando passage leversets are Grade 2 with round trim and the Bravura Tampa is the square-trim version, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage lever. None of those are sandcast bronze, so they won't match Durango hardware on adjacent doors.
16) I need a matching non-working lever on a false or closet door. Can I use the Emtek Durango passage set?
Not for that. The Durango passage set is a working latch with a strike, so on a fixed panel or the inactive leaf of a pair it has nothing to latch into. A dummy trim is what you want there. Cross-brand dummy levers we carry include the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy in left hand and right hand, the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 or 7KC Series Grade 2 single dummy trim. Those won't match sandcast bronze, so if the finish has to match, order the Durango dummy from the same Sandcast Bronze collection.
17) I need a passage lever on a hall door but I do not need cast bronze - what is a plainer option?
For a plain passage lever on a hall or closet door, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 passage function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. The Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim. All are passage function like the Emtek Durango passage set, in stamped or plated trim rather than sandcast bronze.
18) What is the equivalent passage lever if I am matching a decorative set rather than a commercial one?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the closest decorative match in function to the Emtek Durango passage set - both are passage/hall/closet levers in a designer finish family rather than commercial trim. The difference is in the trim system: the Durango is sandcast bronze and takes any sandcast bronze rosette, offered in #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6 rosettes, while the Baldwin 5103 is supplied with the 5048 rose.
19) Do I have to specify handing on a passage lever, or can I order a non-handed one?
The Emtek Durango passage set is ordered as left hand or right hand, so the opening has to be handed before it ships. If you would rather stock one part for both swings, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers. Baldwin's Estate 5103 half dummy is also handed, sold as a separate left hand and right hand part.
20) Is a keyless pushbutton lever a substitute for a passage set on a back office door?
They are different products. The Emtek Durango passage set is a non-keyed passage lever that never locks. 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, the Lockey 2835DC adds double combination, and 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. Those control who gets through; the Durango only latches the door.
21) Is the Emtek Durango lever solid bronze or a plated finish?
Sandcast bronze, solid material rather than a plated shell, cast in the Sandcast Bronze collection with the texture that comes off the sand mold. That's why the three finishes read as bronze tones (Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, Tumbled White Bronze) rather than as a coating over a different metal, and why each casting varies slightly. Note the latch and strike are brass.
22) Does the Emtek Durango passage lever need power or wiring?
No wiring. The Durango passage set is fully mechanical and non-electronic, so there's no transformer, no battery, and nothing to fail when power drops. If the opening needs keypad access instead, the Lockey 2835 and 2835DC mechanical keyless lever locks with passage function cover 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors with no power either, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
23) I want a passage lever with no exposed screws on the rose - what are my options?
The Emtek Durango passage set offers a CF mechanism so the rosettes have no exposed screws, and that option includes the 28 degree latch. Among commercial passage levers, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 and Falcon B101 Grade 2 are non-handed passage levers, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology - these are chosen for duty rating and handing rather than concealed trim.
24) Two Accentra Augusta passage levers show up when I search - what is the difference between the 5301LN and the 4601LN?
Both are Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical lever locks with the Augusta trim design, so they perform the same function as the Emtek Durango passage set in a commercial body. They come from different lines: the 5301LN is 5300 Series and the 4601LN is 4600 Series. Match whichever series is already on the rest of the openings so the trim and prep stay consistent.
