Emtek Sandcast Bronze Leversets - Lariat Lever, Privacy Set

Yes, it drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so it covers both of the usual residential bore locations without a separate latch. One exception worth catching before you order: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy, so it is not a straight drop-in on a door already bored for a standard rosette.

Yes, backset is a required choice: 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The standard latch supplied is the 2-3/8 inch one, so if your existing bore centers 2-3/4 inches off the door edge you have to call that out on the order. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole before you pick.

Handing matters here. The Lariat privacy set is ordered left hand or right hand, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side the lever sits before you order. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door. Unlike many commercial non-handed cylindrical levers, you can't flip this one in the field.

Not keyed. It is a privacy/bed/bath function, so it locks from the inside with a thumbturn or pushbutton and has no cylinder or key on the outside. That is what you want on a bedroom or bathroom. For an entry door or anything you need to key, this is the wrong function, and for a hall or closet door where nothing should lock, order a passage set instead.

It is a residential product, solid bronze sandcast trim on a tubular lock body. For a bedroom or bath in a single-family home or a high-end unit it is the right call. For commercial corridors, offices, or heavy multi-family traffic where a graded cylindrical lock is specified, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 privacy lock instead, such as the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy with the Withnell lever or the Arrow MK02-TA privacy knob.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the direct decorative counterpart. Both are privacy/bed/bath function levers with a rose trim, so the interior side gets a thumbturn and the outside gets emergency release, no keying involved. The Lariat comes in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze in the sandcast bronze collection; the Baldwin 5103 pairs with the 5048 rose. If you want the whole door family to match, Baldwin also builds the 5103 as a passage lever and as left hand and right hand half dummies, which is how you carry one design across a bedroom, a hall closet and a fixed pull.

The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is the plain-spec choice: Grade 3, privacy/bed/bath function, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. That door thickness range matches what the Lariat privacy set covers, so the same door prep serves either. The Lariat is a residential sandcast bronze set ordered by rosette style, handing and finish; the Breton is a single catalog item. If you also need the hall or closet door on the same turn, Kwikset builds the Breton as a passage lever under 200BRNL RDT, same Grade 3 and same door thickness range.

Dummy trim is the usual mix-up. The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 non-keyed lever and the 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty version, and Callan's Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, but a dummy has no latch and no thumbturn, so it will not hold or lock the door. Baldwin's Estate 5103 half dummy is handed left or right for the same reason and is a pull only. Keyed entry sets are the other near-miss: the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever and the Master Lock RL series is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever, both of which put a cylinder on the outside where a bath door wants a simple emergency release. The Lariat set is non-keyed privacy and ships complete with latch and strike plate.

The Lariat privacy set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door needs a different set. Deltana's Manchester 6201, Morant 6411 and Linstead 6431 lever entries all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Hager's 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock goes to 2-1/4 inch. Watch the function while you match thickness: the Deltana sets are entry function and the Hager and Falcon are passage, none of them privacy, so a bath door on a 2 inch slab needs the function checked as well as the fit.

Three latch choices. Standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch cuts the lever swing needed to retract the bolt, which is a lighter, shorter throw of the handle. The CF Mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. Pick CF if the look of a screwless rose matters on the job; pick the 28 degree latch on its own if you only want the shorter rotation.

It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included, so nothing else is needed for a standard bored door. The latch faceplate comes in round corner or square corner, which matters when you are dropping it into an existing mortise on the door edge, match the corner shape of what is already cut in.

Five rosette styles, ordered as #1, #2, #3, #4 or #6, and any Sandcast Bronze rosette can be paired with the Lariat lever. Finishes are Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). If you are running several doors in a house, pick one rosette and one finish and repeat it, and note there is a split finish option on the order if you want a different finish inside than out.

The closest decorative alternative we carry is the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose. Both are privacy function levers built for residential interior doors, so either will do a bedroom or bath. Where they differ is the trim program: the Lariat is part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection with five rosette choices and three bronze finishes, while the Baldwin 5103 comes as a fixed lever and rose pairing. If you need matching passage and dummy on adjacent doors, Baldwin lists the 5103 in passage and in left and right hand half dummy as well.

Not this one. The Lariat set here is privacy function only, which means it locks from the inside. A closet or hall door takes a passage set, which latches but never locks. Stay in the Emtek Sandcast Bronze program with the Lariat lever in passage function so the trim, rosette and finish match the bedroom and bath doors, or if you are matching a different trim line, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is a decorative residential passage option.

They are aimed at different traffic. The Lariat is a residential tubular cylindrical lockset in sandcast bronze, ordered by rosette, finish and handing. The Arrow MK02-TA is a fire rated privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. If a facility standard drives the whole door, Falcon's T101 is a heavy duty Grade 1 lever with pressure release technology and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant fire rated lever, both passage rather than privacy. For a bedroom or a residential bath the Lariat's function is the match; for a graded, rated opening the commercial sets are.

Privacy/bed/bath is a locking function with a thumbturn, so a hall or closet door wants passage instead, which latches but never locks. Baldwin's Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose keeps a decorative look next to the Lariat. In a plainer line, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset, and Bravura also lists the Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and the Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage. For commercial corridors, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock with non-handed levers covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Note that the Lariat is ordered left hand or right hand, while the K101 levers are non-handed.

Yes, if you want people kept out rather than a bath door that anyone can release from the hall. Lockey's 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the 2835DC is the double combination version over the same range. The Lockey 1150 and 1150S are heavy duty mechanical keypad lever sets covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, with the 1150S offering an adjustable backset. The Emtek Lariat is a non-electronic, non-keyed privacy set with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so a keypad set changes the whole nature of the opening from a courtesy lock to controlled access.

The Lariat covers the privacy openings only, since it is non-keyed. For the keyed office door, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 with clutching for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which is the same door thickness the Lariat fits, so both sit on the same slab spec. The Falcon B511CP6D is the Grade 2 medium duty entry/office alternative, and Cal-Royal's AG00 entrance lever comes 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/8 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. That Schlage C keyway matters if you are keying the office into an existing set of keys; the Lariat's backset is adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so the door prep can be shared.

Purely mechanical, no electronics and no keypad. If you want keyless entry on a lever, that is a different product family, for example the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock or the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock.
