Emtek Sandcast Bronze Leversets - Durango Lever, Privacy Set

The Durango sandcast bronze privacy lever fits doors from 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick using a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep. One exception worth knowing before you order: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy function, so it is not a straight drop-in on standard prep.

Backset is a choice you make at order time. The standard latch on the Durango privacy set is for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and a 2-3/4 inch backset is orderable instead. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole and pick the matching one. Both are the common residential backsets, so an existing bored door almost always takes one or the other without redrilling.

Non-keyed. It is a privacy/bed/bath function, which means a thumbturn on the inside locks the door and there is an emergency release on the outside instead of a cylinder. That is the right function for bedrooms and bathrooms. If the opening needs to lock with a key, a privacy set is the wrong choice and you want an entry or keyed function lock instead.

Yes, handing is required. The Durango privacy set is ordered left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right it is right hand. Order the wrong one and the lever points up rather than down.

It is a residential lockset, tubular type, in sandcast bronze. Use it on houses, custom homes, and interior unit doors where the look matters. For a commercial corridor or anywhere you need a graded cylindrical lock, look at something like the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant lever, both of which we carry.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the closest decorative peer, carrying the same Privacy/Bed/Bath function on a rose-mounted lever. The Durango lever is a sandcast bronze privacy set offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze; the Baldwin 5103 privacy is supplied with the 5048 rose. Both are non-keyed levers driven by a thumbturn on the inside face rather than a cylinder.

For a hall, closet or bedroom door that only needs to latch, a passage lever is the substitute. In the same decorative family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose carries Passage/Hall/Closet function. Commercial-graded options include the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever with a non-handed design and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever, which fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Durango set is built as a privacy lock with a thumbturn, so it is the wrong part for an opening that must never latch shut.

The Durango sandcast bronze privacy set is a residential lever with a tubular lock chassis. For a commercial restroom or an opening that has to meet a graded spec, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy function lock carrying a Grade 1 rating with a fire rating, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Hager 2540 privacy lock with the Withnell lever is Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are the parts to quote when a drawing calls out an ANSI grade or a fire-rated opening.

That opening takes a dummy lever, which mounts as trim only with no latch and no chassis. Peers in that function include the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is handed and ordered left hand or right hand, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed part, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim lever in Grade 2 medium duty. The Durango privacy set is a complete lock supplied with latch and strike plate for a 2-1/8 inch bore prep, so it is not the part for a door with no lock prep.

The Durango set is non-keyed, so a keyed opening needs a different lock. Decorative entry levers include the Deltana 6201 Manchester and the Deltana 6431 Linstead, both entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. On the commercial side, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 with a clutching chassis for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. A common pairing is to keep the Durango privacy lever on the bedroom and bath doors and put a keyed entry lever on the exterior opening.

The Durango privacy set lists a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Peers that reach 2 inches include the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever and the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lock, both 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6411 Morant entry lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock, which is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the leaf at the bore before ordering, since a thicker slab is the usual reason a bored lever will not pull up tight.

Three latch choices. The standard latch is the default. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens the lever travel needed to retract the bolt, which suits users who want less wrist motion. The CF mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and it includes the 28 degree latch as part of the assembly. Pick CF if the visible screw heads on the rose would bother you.

Three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Five rosette styles are offered, #1, #2, #3, #4, and #6, and the Durango lever can be paired with any Sandcast Bronze rosette. If you are matching existing doors in the house, the rosette shape is what changes the look most, so match that first and then the finish.

The closest decorative alternative we carry is the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with the 5048 rose, also a privacy/bed/bath function in a residential design line. For a budget interior bathroom lever, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither is sandcast bronze, so if the finish has to match other Emtek sandcast pieces in the house, stay with the Durango.

The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and it carries the same Privacy/Bed/Bath function as the Durango. The difference is in the build and the trim: the Durango is a sandcast bronze lever offered in three bronze finishes with a choice of five rosette styles, while the Breton is a stamped residential set in a fixed rose. For a bedroom or bath door in a turn-over unit where the trim is not being matched to existing bronze hardware, the Breton covers the same function.

They lock the door for different reasons. The Durango is a privacy set: a thumbturn on the room side, non-keyed, meant for a bedroom or bath door. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version of the same lock. A keypad set controls who gets in from the outside; a privacy set only stops entry while the room is occupied, so they are not interchangeable on the same opening.

Both work in a standard bored door prep, but the trim is what separates them. The Durango is a sandcast bronze lever supplied with latch and strike, adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, 2-1/8 inch cross bore, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Hager 2540 privacy lock uses the Withnell lever and is Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Where the Durango is handed left or right and offered in five rosette patterns to match a decorative package, the Hager is a commercial cylindrical trim. On a 1-3/4 inch door either bores the same; the choice is between matching bronze trim and standardizing on a graded commercial lever.

That is an asylum or institutional function, not privacy. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is an F87 function Grade 1 cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. The Durango is a residential privacy set, so it is not the part where staff need controlled outside access to an occupied room.

Corridor and classroom openings call for a graded commercial chassis rather than a residential privacy set. The Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching mechanism, keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the C1000 classroom security lever is the same Grade 1 clutching platform in classroom security function. For non-locking corridor and closet doors in the same package, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Durango is a residential bronze privacy lever, better suited to a bedroom or bath door than to a corridor on a facility standard.

The Durango lever belongs to Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, so the same lever design and the same rosette numbers carry across other functions in that collection. Order the privacy set for bedrooms and baths and match the finish code (FB, MB, or TWB) and rosette number across every opening so the hardware reads as one suite.

Split finish is available as an ordering option on the Durango privacy set. Note which finish goes on which side when you order, choosing from Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze. This is common when a bathroom interior is a different palette from the hallway.
