Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Knurled Lever - Privacy Set

Yes. The L-Square Knurled privacy leverset covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors on standard prep, which is a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The one exception is the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism: that version runs 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, so if you pick CF on a thicker door you need to call out the thickness when you order. There is a free-text Door Thickness field on the order for exactly that.

Yes, handing is a required choice, left hand or right hand. The L-Square stem is a directional lever, so a left hand set will point the wrong way on a right hand door. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand. Order per opening, not per house, since bedroom and bath doors in the same hall often swing opposite ways.

It does, and this is the one that catches people. STRETTO wants a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a two hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy. Every other rosette on the Knurled L-Square privacy set runs on the ordinary 2-1/8 inch cross bore. If you are retrofitting an existing bored door and do not want to drill new holes, stay with the standard prep rosettes.

For a like-for-like decorative brass privacy lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest peer - same privacy/bed/bath function, same decorative lever-on-rose format. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled is a brass lever in the Knurled series with the L-Square stem, offered in Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and the rosette is selectable across Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire. The Baldwin 5103 is a fixed lever-and-rose design. Choose the Emtek where the rosette shape and finish need to be matched to other trim in the room; choose the Baldwin 5103 where a single fixed Estate-series design is being repeated.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled privacy set is a residential-rated brass leverset, so for a commercial washroom look at a graded privacy lock instead. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a Tudor knob, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick - note that it is a knob, not a lever, so it does not meet lever-operation requirements. Where a facility spec calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade, the graded units carry it and the Emtek is the decorative residential choice.

Several similar-looking leversets have no privacy function at all. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose shares the same lever and rose design but is passage/hall/closet - it latches and never locks. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, offered left hand and right hand, is a fixed pull with no latch behind it. The Bravura Tampa with Square Trim and the Bravura Atlanta with Round Trim are both Grade 2 passage leversets, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled set is privacy/bed/bath and is sold complete with latch and strike plate, so it is the one that gives a bed or bath door an interior lock.

CF is the mechanism that hides the mounting screws so you get a clean rosette face with no visible fasteners. Choosing it also brings the 28 degree latch. The tradeoff is door range: CF is built for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, while the standard latch version goes up to 2-1/4 inch. On a thick or solid-core slab beyond 1-3/4 inch, take the standard latch or flag the thickness on the order.

It is a residential tubular lockset in solid brass, contemporary styling, non-keyed privacy. Good for bedroom and bath doors in homes, condos and high-end multifamily interiors. For a commercial opening that needs a graded cylindrical lock, look at the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy or the Arrow MK02-TA privacy, which is fire rated. Both are the commercial answer where the Emtek is the design answer.

The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is a Grade 3 privacy set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, so it drops into the same standard bore range as the Emtek Knurled set. You give up the solid brass body, the knurled texture and the rosette and finish choices, but for rental turns or back of house doors it does the same job. If you want a designer look closer to the Emtek, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the other decorative privacy option.

Yes. The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, supplied as one fixed design with a round rose. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled privacy set is a brass lever configured across seven finishes and seven rosette shapes with a left- or right-hand selection, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch with standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep. For a fleet of turn-over bedroom and bath doors where every opening gets the same part, the Breton is the single-SKU option; the Emtek is what to specify when the trim has to match other hardware in the unit.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled lever is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath set, so keyed openings on the same job take a different lock. For an entry or office door, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a storeroom, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom leverset 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. Keep the Emtek on the bed and bath doors where the interior privacy turn is what is wanted.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled privacy set covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch on standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, though the concealed fastener (CF) mechanism version is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch unless a thicker door is specified when ordering. If the door is thinner than 1-3/8 inch, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock covers 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch - both are passage-function keyless units rather than privacy sets, so they suit an office or storage door rather than a bath. Within the Emtek range, ordering the standard latch instead of the CF mechanism is what opens up the full thickness range.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled set is a privacy/bed/bath lever, so an inactive leaf takes a separate dummy. Within the decorative brass peers, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with the 5048 rose is handed and sold as a left hand or a right hand unit, matching the passage and privacy versions of the same 5103 design. On the commercial side, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed lever and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is the Grade 2 medium duty version; the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy in the 5400 Series and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Match the dummy to the family of the working lock so the lever and rose profile carry across the pair of doors.

They are built to different briefs. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled privacy set is a residential brass leverset with a tubular lock mechanism, sold complete with latch and strike. The heavy-duty peers state a graded body: the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty with a fire rating and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Falcon T101 is Grade 1 heavy duty with pressure release technology, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant, fire rated cylindrical lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors - all three are passage function rather than privacy. For a corridor or stairwell in a multi-family building, the graded passage locks are the durability answer; the Emtek is the finish-matched choice for unit interiors.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled set is ordered as left hand (LH) or right hand (RH), so the handing of the opening has to be confirmed before the order goes in. Among the comparables, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. Those are passage-function locks, so they are the non-handed alternative only where the door does not need a privacy turn - a bed or bath door still needs the handed privacy set specified correctly.

No. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled set is a non-electronic privacy/bed/bath lever. The keyless peers serve a different opening: the Lockey 2835DC is a double combination mechanical keyless lever lock with passage function, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Passage-function keyless units latch and free-turn from inside with a code outside, which is a controlled-access answer, not a bathroom privacy turn. Where an occupant needs to secure the room from inside, the privacy set is the correct function.

The Knurled L-Square set here is the privacy version, thumbturn function, for bed and bath. For hall, closet and pantry doors you want the passage version of the same Knurled lever and rosette so the brass finish and knurled texture match across the floor. Order the same rosette style, same finish code and same handing on each opening and the run reads as one set.

The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled privacy set ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard and a 2-3/4 inch latch is specified at order, with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Among the comparables, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is built for a 2-3/8 inch backset and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever for a 2-3/4 inch backset, so those are ordered to a fixed backset rather than selected. The Lockey 1150S mechanical keypad lever set has an adjustable backset and covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. If a job mixes both backsets across openings, the Emtek and the Lockey 1150S both accommodate the split without changing product.

For contemporary decorative leversets, the Deltana Manchester 6201, Morant 6411 and Linstead 6431 are entry-function levers each covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, and the Deltana Claremont 5851 is an entry lever in the same decorative family. The Bravura Tampa uses square trim and the Bravura Miramar is a passage leverset offered in US4 Satin Brass. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Knurled is a contemporary brass privacy set whose rosette is chosen from Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire, so the trim shape follows the door rather than the lock. The Deltana and Bravura units named are entry and passage function, so the Emtek is the one to use where the door needs a privacy turn.
