Emtek 7108.LR.RH.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset does the Emtek Lariat passage leverset use, and will it fit my existing door prep?
The Lariat passage set works on a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, and the backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches. The standard latch ships set for 2-3/8 inch, so specify 2-3/4 inch when the bore is set further off the edge, which is the common backset on exterior and heavier commercial-width doors. If your door already has a 2-1/8 inch bore drilled, no new boring is needed.
2) Does the Emtek Lariat passage lever lock, or does it need a key or thumbturn?
Passage function only. The Lariat passage set latches the door and both levers always retract the latch, with no keyway, no pushbutton, and no thumbturn. That is the right choice for a hall, closet, pantry, or a bedroom door where nobody needs to lock it. If you need the bathroom or bedroom to lock from inside, order the privacy version of the same lever rather than this one, and for a keyed opening you need an entry or keyed function set.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an Emtek Lariat lever?
Yes, handing is an order choice on the Lariat lever, offered left hand or right hand. Levers are handed because the lever has to sweep down toward the latch edge, so a left hand set on a right hand door leaves the lever pointing the wrong way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door. Get this wrong and the set is not correctable in the field.
4) What is the closest commercial-grade equivalent to an Emtek Lariat sandcast bronze passage lever if the opening needs a rated lockset?
The Lariat passage set is a residential tubular passage lever in sandcast bronze, non-keyed, with no ANSI grade behind it. When the opening calls for a graded cylindrical passage lockset instead, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is another Grade 1 fire-rated passage/closet cylindrical lever, built vandal resistant for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both trade the hand-poured bronze appearance for a rated commercial lockset.
5) What should be used instead of the Lariat passage set on an entry or office door that needs a key?
The Lariat passage set is non-keyed, so it cannot take a cylinder. For a keyed opening, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 entry/office cylindrical lever with a clutching mechanism for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. In a decorative entry lever, Deltana offers the 6201 Manchester and the 6431 Linstead, both entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
6) What passage lever should be used when the door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Lariat passage set lists a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch in its specifications. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire-rated passage lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever covering 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.
7) For a school or healthcare corridor closet, what passage lever meets an institutional spec better than the Lariat?
The Lariat passage set is built as residential hardware. Where a facility standard calls for a graded passage lockset, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lever with pressure release technology, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated with non-handed levers, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta and 4601LN are Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever locks if the standard sits at Grade 2.
8) What is included with the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Lariat passage set?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes you choose, the latch, and the strike plate. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner so it can drop into either style of existing mortise in the door edge. Nothing else is required to hang it on a door already bored 2-1/8 inches with a latch mortise.
9) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek Sandcast Bronze levers?
CF is the concealed-fastener build: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face, so you see plain bronze on both sides of the door. Choosing CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. If exposed screw heads on the rose do not bother you, the standard latch build is the other route. Either way the lever, finish, and rosette choices are the same.
10) Which rosettes and finishes can I get on the Emtek Lariat lever to match the rest of my doors?
The Lariat lever takes any of the Sandcast Bronze rosettes, offered as #1, #2, #3, #4, and #6, in three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Because the rosette is a separate choice from the lever, you can carry one rosette shape and finish across passage, privacy, and dummy openings in a house or a unit and keep the whole floor consistent.
11) What is a comparable decorative passage lever to the Emtek Lariat if I want a different look?
For the same passage function in a decorative residential lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the closest peer in the same tier. Stepping down, the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa passage leversets are Grade 2, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset. What separates the Lariat is the sandcast bronze body and the choice of five rosette shapes in three bronze finishes, which is what gets specified on rustic and heavy-timber work.
12) Is a dummy lever a substitute for the Lariat passage set?
No. The Lariat passage set is a working latch: it is sold complete with latch and strike plate and bores into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. A dummy is surface-mounted trim with no latch at all - the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes in left hand and right hand versions, the BEST 9K 1DT is a Grade 1 single dummy trim lever, and the BEST 7KC 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. Use a dummy only on an inactive leaf or a door held by a ball catch.
13) What is a simpler passage lever to specify when the sandcast bronze finish is not required?
The Lariat passage set is ordered across three sandcast bronze finishes, five rosette choices, and a handing selection, which is more decision than a back-of-house closet door needs. For a plain passage lever, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. None of the three are handed the way the Lariat set is.
14) What decorative passage lever compares to the Emtek Lariat for a residential interior door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative peer: same passage function, same rose-mounted lever format for interior doors. Baldwin also builds the 5103 as a privacy lever and as left hand and right hand half dummy versions, so a run of doors can be matched across functions. The Lariat set is offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze on a bronze substrate, which is the visual difference between the two families.
15) What passage leverset is the alternative when a decorative bronze lever is too much for a rental turn?
The Lariat passage set is a sandcast bronze residential lever ordered by finish, rosette, and handing. For a straightforward interior passage lever, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa are Grade 2 passage leversets, the Atlanta and Orlando on round trim and the Tampa on square trim, if the rose shape needs to match what is already on the other doors.
16) Can a keypad lever lock replace the Lariat passage set on a door that needs controlled access?
Only if the requirement is access control rather than appearance. The Lariat passage set is a mechanical, non-electronic lever with passage function. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, the 2835DC is the double combination version of the same, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. All of these put a keypad on the outside face where the Lariat presents a plain bronze lever.
17) What is the difference between the Lariat passage set and a storeroom or classroom lever that looks similar?
Trim shape hides the function, so match on function and not on the lever. The Lariat passage set is non-keyed and always free from both sides. A Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Dexter C1000 classroom and classroom security levers are Grade 1 keyed functions for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Each of those secures the outside lever; the Lariat never does.
18) Does the Lariat passage set need to be ordered by hand, and which alternatives avoid that?
The Lariat passage set is ordered as left hand or right hand, so the door swing has to be confirmed before the order goes in. Several passage levers are built non-handed instead: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers. Those reverse in the field rather than at the order desk, which matters when a property manager is buying a run of doors sight unseen.
19) What is the difference between the 28 degree rotation latch and the standard latch on Emtek levers?
The 28 degree latch retracts with a shorter lever swing than the standard latch, so the lever moves less to pull the bolt. It is offered as its own choice and it is also what ships when you select the CF concealed-fastener mechanism. The standard latch is the other option. Both are included with the set along with the strike, and both are available with a round or square corner faceplate to suit the mortise already cut in the door edge.
