Emtek 7208.MT.RH.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Montrose privacy leverset fit my existing door prep?
It drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and fits doors from 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick. The latch ships adjustable for a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so most residential prep takes it without redrilling. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Montrose lever?
Yes, the Montrose privacy lever is handed and is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH). Stand outside the room the door opens into: the side the hinges are on gives you the hand. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way.
3) What does the privacy function on the Montrose lever actually do?
It is a bed and bath lock: thumbturn on the inside, emergency release on the outside, and no key. Nothing in the set is keyed, so it is for bedrooms and bathrooms, not exterior or entry doors. Need an exterior lever instead and you are looking at an entry function like the Deltana 6201 Manchester.
4) Is the Emtek Montrose leverset suitable for a commercial building?
No. It is a residential tubular lockset in cast bronze, with no ANSI grade behind it. For commercial traffic look at a graded cylindrical lever instead, such as the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever, or the Grade 1 Falcon K101 family for heavy duty openings.
5) Which backset should I order for the Emtek Montrose lever?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. 2-3/8 inches is the usual residential interior dimension and is what the standard latch covers; specify 2-3/4 inches if your prep measures that instead. Backset is a required selection on the order.
6) What is the closest decorative equivalent to the Emtek Montrose privacy leverset from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative peer - it is also a privacy/bed/bath function lever on a round rose intended for residential interior doors. The Emtek Montrose privacy set differs in that it is a sandcast bronze collection piece offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze, and it can be ordered on any of five sandcast rosette styles. If you want a bronze casting and rosette choice, stay with the Montrose; if you want the Estate rose profile, the 5103 privacy is the match.
7) I need the same Montrose look on a hall or closet door that should not lock - what do I use?
Privacy is the wrong function for a hall or closet door, since it adds a thumbturn and an emergency release. For a non-locking opening in the same decorative family, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is a passage/hall/closet function decorative lever. If the door only needs a pull with no latch at all, the Estate 5103 is also made as a half dummy in left hand and right hand versions.
8) Can I use the Emtek Montrose privacy lever on a commercial bathroom door in an office building?
The Montrose sandcast bronze privacy set is classified for residential use. For a commercial bath or bedroom-type opening where an ANSI grade is specified, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating. Those are commercial-duty locks with plain trim rather than a cast bronze decorative lever.
9) My door is 2 inches thick - the Montrose privacy set will not work, what else is there?
The Montrose sandcast privacy set is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors on a 2-1/8 inch bore. For a thicker leaf, the Hager 2510 passage lever and Hager 2525 entry lever both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are commercial trims, so confirm the function you need on that opening before ordering.
10) The room needs to be locked with a key, not just a thumbturn - what should I order instead of the Montrose privacy set?
The Montrose sandcast privacy set is non-keyed, so it will not take a cylinder. For a keyed opening in a decorative residential lever, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead are entry function levers that fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. For a keyed lever with an ANSI grade, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
11) What is included with the Emtek Montrose privacy set?
It ships as a complete set with the lever trim, latch and strike plate. Latch faceplate comes round or square corner to match what is already cut into the door edge, so no separate latch purchase is needed.
12) What is the CF mechanism option on the Emtek Montrose lever?
CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, a cleaner face on the door, and the 28 degree latch is included with it. If you do not mind visible screws you can order the standard latch or the 28 degree rotation latch on its own. The 28 degree latch reduces how far the lever has to travel to retract the bolt.
13) Can I match the Montrose lever to the other Emtek hardware in the house?
The Montrose lever is part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection and can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette, with rosette choices of #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6. Finishes are Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB), so it lines up with other Sandcast Bronze pieces on adjacent openings.
14) What is a comparable privacy lever if I want a different look than Emtek Sandcast Bronze?
On the decorative residential side, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with the 5048 rose covers the same bed and bath function. For a budget Grade 3 option, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither is cast bronze, which is what the Montrose is.
15) What is a simpler, lighter-trim privacy lever if I do not need sandcast bronze?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever on round trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. It is a plain-finish residential lever rather than a cast bronze piece, and it does not offer the rosette-style choice or the CF mechanism with no exposed rosette screws that the Emtek Montrose privacy set does.
16) Is the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton lever the same thing as the Montrose privacy set?
No. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a passage lever for hall and closet doors and has no locking function; the Montrose set is privacy/bed/bath with a thumbturn. The privacy equivalent in that Kwikset family is the 300BRNL RDT Breton. Ordering a 200 series by mistake leaves a bathroom door that cannot be locked.
17) I want matching trim on a door that only needs a pull - is there a dummy version to pair with the Montrose privacy set?
For a pull-only opening, dummy trim is the right part. Handed half dummy levers are available as the Baldwin Estate 5103 in left hand and right hand, and non-decorative dummy options include the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed trim, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim in Grade 2 medium duty. Keep in mind the Montrose privacy set itself is ordered left hand or right hand, so match the swing when you pair trims.
18) Is there a non-handed privacy or passage lever I can stock so I do not have to track left and right hand?
The Montrose sandcast privacy set is ordered as left hand or right hand. If you are standardizing and want to avoid handing entirely, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 non-handed passage lock. Both are passage function, so they suit hall and closet doors rather than a bath.
19) For a multi-family interior door package, what Grade 2 or Grade 3 lever compares to the Emtek Montrose privacy set?
The Montrose sandcast privacy set is a residential decorative lever. For volume interior packages where a grade is called out, 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 RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Passage companions in the same duty range include the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa Grade 2 passage leversets and the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset.
20) Can I get keyless code entry on a bedroom or bath door instead of a privacy thumbturn?
Not with the Montrose sandcast set, which is a non-electronic privacy lever with a thumbturn. For code entry on a lever, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is passage function, ADA compliant, and fits doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, with a double combination version as the 2835DC. The Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock. Note the Lockey units listed here are passage function, so they control entry by code rather than giving an inside privacy lock.
