Emtek 5109US19.LSUS19.FA.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek SELECT Faceted lever passage set fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. The L-Square Faceted passage set fits doors from 1-3/8 inches up to 2-1/4 inches thick using a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep. One catch: if you order it with the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism, the range narrows to 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and you have to specify a thicker door at the time of order. Standard commercial and most residential doors at 1-3/4 inches are covered either way.
2) What backset do I need to order for the Emtek Faceted lever, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore hole. Most residential doors are 2-3/8 inches and that is what ships as standard on the Faceted passage set; 2-3/4 inches is the other choice and has to be specified when you order. Both are offered, so pick the one that matches your existing prep rather than trying to move the hole.
3) Does a passage lever lock, or does it just latch the door?
Passage function means no lock at all. The Faceted lever latches the door shut and turns freely from both sides, with no key and no thumbturn. That is the right function for a hall, closet, pantry, or any opening where you want the door to stay closed but never need to secure it. For a bedroom or bathroom you want the privacy version with a thumbturn instead, and for a keyed opening you want an entry set.
4) Do I have to specify handing on an Emtek passage lever?
Yes, handing matters here. The L-Square Faceted lever is ordered left hand or right hand, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side the hinges are on before you order. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong direction on the door face. Note that plenty of commercial passage levers are non-handed (the Falcon B101, for example, is a non-handed design), but this Emtek set is not one of them.
5) Is the Emtek Faceted lever suitable for a commercial building or high traffic doors?
It is a residential product. Solid brass tubular construction, contemporary styling, meant for homes and finished interiors. For an apartment corridor, an office, or anything with real traffic, go to a commercial cylindrical passage lock instead: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
6) Can I swap an Emtek Faceted passage lever into a door that already has a Kwikset or builder-grade lever?
If the existing lever is a standard tubular bored set, the prep is usually the same: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, both of which the Emtek covers. That is the same prep family a Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage set uses on 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Check the backset before you order, and note the latch faceplate corner style so the new latch drops into the existing mortise without recutting.
7) What is the closest commercial-grade equivalent to an Emtek Faceted L-Square passage lever for a heavier-traffic opening?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted lever is a residential passage set, so for a corridor or tenant common area that sees constant use, a graded cylindrical passage lever is the better match. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, also fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Both hold the same passage function - latch retracts from either side with no lock - while adding an ANSI grade and fire rating the brass residential set does not carry.
8) What should be used instead of a passage lever on a bedroom or bathroom door that needs to lock?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted lever is non-keyed passage function, meaning it latches only and has no locking mechanism, so it does not suit a bath or bedroom. For that opening, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is the decorative-brand counterpart, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy option for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) Is a dummy lever the same as a passage lever for a closet door?
No. The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted passage set includes a latch and strike plate and actually latches the door closed. A dummy lever is surface mounted trim with no latch at all - the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered in left hand and right hand versions, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim and BEST 9K 1DT single dummy trim are the graded equivalents. Dummy trim suits an inactive leaf or a ball-catch door; a closet door that needs to stay shut on a latch takes the passage set.
10) What passage lever works on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted set fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch on standard door prep, though the CF mechanism version is limited to 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch unless a thicker door is specified at order. Where a thicker leaf rules out the CF option, the Falcon K101 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
11) What comes in the box with the Emtek Faceted passage set, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes you selected, the latch, and the strike plate. The latch faceplate is available in round corner or square corner so it can match the mortise already cut in your door edge. Nothing else is required to hang it on a door that has standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep.
12) What is the Concealed Fastener (CF) option on Emtek levers and should I pay for it?
CF hides the mounting screws, so you get a clean rosette face with no visible fasteners, and the 28 degree latch is included when you select it. The trade-off is fit: with CF the door thickness range drops to 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, versus 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches on the standard latch. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, either specify the thickness at order or take the standard latch.
13) Which rosette shapes and finishes can I get the Emtek L-Square Faceted lever in?
Seven rosettes: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, and Wilshire. Any brass rosette in the line can be paired with this lever. Finishes are Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). If you want the rosette in one finish and the stem in another, split finish can be requested on the order.
14) I need matching privacy and dummy levers for the same rooms - can I get the Faceted design in other functions?
The Faceted lever in the SELECT line is a family, so passage covers your halls and closets while the privacy version handles bedrooms and baths and dummy trim handles the fixed half of a double door or a closet slab. Ordering the same handle, stem, and rosette across all three keeps a floor looking consistent. If you are matching a decorative brass line from another maker instead, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is offered in passage, privacy, and both left and right hand half dummy.
15) What is a simpler passage leverset if the decorative brass rosette options are not needed?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted passage set is built around a brass lever offered with Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire rosettes in seven finishes. Where the design range is not the point, a plain graded passage lever does the same job: the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Bravura Atlanta is a Grade 2 passage leverset with round trim. All three are single-trim passage levers rather than a rosette-and-stem system.
16) What is the decorative-brand alternative to the Emtek Faceted passage lever for a residential interior door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the closest peer in the same decorative residential category - same passage function, same lever-on-rose construction. The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted set differs in that the lever, stem and rosette are specified separately, with the Faceted lever on an L-Square stem and a choice of rosette, while the Baldwin 5103 ships as a fixed lever and 5048 rose pairing.
17) What is the alternative if the door needs to be keyed rather than free-turning?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted set is non-keyed, so it cannot secure an office, entry or storeroom door. For a keyed opening in a lever format, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 entry/office cylindrical lever lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
18) What is the difference between the Emtek Faceted passage set and the Accentra 5301LN or 4601LN Augusta passage levers?
All three are passage/hall/closet function cylindrical levers. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in the 5300 Series and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series - both commercial-graded, fixed-trim designs. The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted set is a residential brass lever built from a Faceted handle, L-Square stem and a selected rosette, offered in seven finishes including Flat Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Unlacquered Brass.
19) What passage lever suits a door where a keyless code entry is wanted instead?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted set is a mechanical, non-electronic passage lever. Where an opening needs code access instead, 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 for the same door range, 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.
20) Is there a Grade 1 passage lever that mounts on the same 1-3/4 inch door as a Grade 2 one?
Design Hardware offers the pair directly: the X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the J75 is the Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for the same 1-3/4 inch door. Both are passage/hall/closet function, so an institutional buyer standardizing across a facility can move between grades without changing the door prep thickness.
21) Does the STRETTO rosette need a different door prep than the other Emtek rosettes?
For thumbturn privacy, a STRETTO rosette calls for a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation, which is not the standard 2-1/8 inch single bore the rest of the rosettes use. That is a different hole pattern, so if you are drilling new doors or matching an existing prep, settle the rosette choice before the doors get bored.
22) What is a lower-cost-tier passage lever for a rental turn?
The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted set is a brass residential passage lever. For a straightforward interior hall or closet turn, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in a satin nickel finish. These are plainer trim than the Faceted lever, which is offered across seven rosettes.
23) Does the Bravura Miramar or Tampa passage leverset match a brass Emtek Faceted lever?
They are separate designs, not interchangeable trim. The Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass, and the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. The Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Faceted set is also offered in Satin Brass (US4), so the finish family lines up on the Miramar, but the Emtek lever shape, L-Square stem and choice of rosette are its own design and the Bravura trim will not mix with it on adjacent doors.
