Emtek 5209US19.LSUS19.SK.RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Emtek SELECT Straight Knurled privacy lever work with a 2-3/4 inch backset?
Both backsets are covered. The latch supplied with the Straight Knurled privacy set is adjustable for 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and 2-3/8 is what ships unless you specify 2-3/4. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole and pick the matching option on the order. Those two are the standard residential backsets, so an existing prepped door will almost always be one or the other.
2) Is the Emtek Straight Knurled privacy lever handed, and how do I tell which hand I need?
Handed, yes. The Straight Knurled lever is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, so you have to pin the hand down before you order. Stand outside the door (the side you'd walk in from): if the hinges are on your left it's left hand, hinges on the right it's right hand. Get it wrong and the lever points the wrong way on the door.
3) What comes in the box with the Emtek privacy lever set, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It's a complete set. The Straight Knurled privacy leverset includes the latch and the strike plate, plus the levers, stems and rosettes you select. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep. Latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in your door edge.
4) What does the CF (Concealed Fastener) option on an Emtek lever actually change?
Two things. Cosmetically, the CF mechanism hides the mounting screws so you don't see fasteners on the rosette face. Functionally, it comes with the 28 degree latch, and it restricts the door thickness range to 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, where the standard latch version covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4, either skip CF or specify the thickness when ordering.
5) Does the STRETTO rosette need a different door prep than the standard Emtek privacy set?
It does, and this is the one that catches people out. Standard rosettes on the Straight Knurled privacy set drop into the usual 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The STRETTO rosette instead needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a two-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy function. If you are retrofitting into an existing 2-1/8 inch bore, STRETTO is not a drop-in.
6) Is an Emtek privacy leverset suitable for a commercial building or an office corridor?
No, it's the wrong tool for that. The SELECT Straight Knurled privacy set is a solid brass residential tubular lockset, made to look right on a bedroom or bathroom door. For commercial traffic you want a graded cylindrical lock: the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated with a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 for Grade 1 vandal resistant, fire rated, 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. If the door specifically needs privacy function in a commercial setting, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
7) Will the Emtek Straight Knurled lever drop into a door already bored for a standard knob or lever?
In most cases yes. Standard interior door prep is a 2-1/8 inch cross bore on a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and that is exactly what the Straight Knurled privacy set is built for, at 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches of door thickness. Check the latch mortise corners while you're at it, round or square, and order the faceplate to match so you aren't re-chiselling the door edge. The exception is the STRETTO rosette, which wants a 1-1/4 inch bore and a two-hole prep instead.
8) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Emtek SELECT Brass L-Square Straight Knurled privacy lever?
For a bed or bath door with the same privacy function, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative-brand match - it is a privacy leverset with a round rose, from a comparable residential decorative line. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled privacy set is a tubular privacy lock in brass, non-keyed, and lets you pair the Straight Knurled lever with the L-Square stem and one of seven rosettes including Disk, Square, Quincy, Watford, Wilshire, Modern Rectangular and Urban Modern, so the Emtek route gives you the mix-and-match trim the Baldwin 5103 does not.
9) I need a lever for a bedroom door but on a commercial project with a Grade 2 requirement. What should I use instead of the Emtek knurled privacy set?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled privacy set is a residential product. Where the spec calls for a graded commercial privacy lock, the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy lock with a fire rating and a Tudor knob rather than a lever. The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy leverset for lighter residential duty.
10) The door is inactive and only needs a pull. Is the Emtek privacy lever the right part?
No - a door leaf that does not latch takes a dummy trim, not a working lock. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled set is a Privacy/Bed/Bath function sold complete with latch and strike plate. For a dummy application in a matching decorative style, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose comes handed left or right. On commercial trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent.
11) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek Straight Knurled lever work, or do I need a different lever?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled set fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick on a 2-1/8 inch bore, so a 2 inch door is inside the range - note the CF mechanism version is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch unless a thicker door is specified. Among the comparable levers, the Falcon K101 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, while the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) Can I put the Emtek Straight Knurled lever on a square rosette to match my other doors?
You pick the rosette separately from the lever. The Straight Knurled lever on the L-Square stem can be ordered with the Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford or Wilshire rosette, and Emtek states it can be ordered with any brass rosette. That's how you match a run of doors that already carry a particular rose shape without changing the lever.
13) Privacy or passage lever, which one do I need for a bedroom or bathroom door?
Privacy is the one that locks. The Emtek Straight Knurled privacy set is a bed and bath function: a thumbturn on the inside locks the door, with the usual emergency release from the hall side, and there's no key. Passage has no lock at all and belongs on a hall or closet door, and a dummy is a fixed pull for a non-latching door. If you want the same look across a room, Emtek's Straight Knurled family runs the matching passage and dummy functions alongside this one.
14) What's a lower cost alternative to the Emtek privacy lever for a rental unit?
If the finish quality of solid brass isn't the driver, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, which covers a standard interior residential door. Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy with the 5048 rose is the other direction, a decorative privacy lever in the same designer tier as the Emtek. The Emtek's differentiator is that you specify the lever, stem, rosette and finish separately, so it can be matched across a whole house.
15) What do I have to specify when ordering the Emtek SELECT Straight Knurled privacy lever?
Six choices. Handing (left or right), backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4), rosette (Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford or Wilshire), finish for the rosette and stem, and whether you want the Concealed Fastener mechanism or the standard latch. The lever is Straight Knurled on the L-Square stem. If the door is thicker than the standard range, call the thickness out on the order.
16) What is the difference between the Emtek Straight Knurled privacy lever and a passage lever - which one goes on a closet door?
A closet or hall door takes a passage lever, which latches but does not lock. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled set is a Privacy/Bed/Bath function, so it has a bed and bath lock and no key. For the passage doors in the same house, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the matching decorative passage lever, and the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset available in US4 Satin Brass, which is one of the same finish designations offered on the Emtek set.
17) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever that fits the same door prep as the Emtek Straight Knurled privacy set?
If you want code entry rather than a thumbturn, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock has a passage function and is ADA compliant, covering doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, with the 2835DC adding double combination. The Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set has an adjustable backset and covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek set covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard prep, and locks by thumbturn on the inside rather than by code.
18) What looks like a substitute for the Emtek Straight Knurled privacy lever but is not?
Two traps. First, knob privacy sets: the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy lock but with a Tudor knob, so it will not read as a lever opening or give you the lever pull. Second, trim-only parts: the Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim - both are handle trim for exit devices, not a complete bed and bath lockset. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled set is sold complete with the latch and strike plate.
19) I am standardizing lever hardware across a multi-family building. How does the Emtek Straight Knurled privacy set compare to a commercial line for the unit interiors?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled set is a residential brass privacy lock, so it suits unit interiors where finish and design matter and traffic is per-unit. Where a building specifier wants a graded commercial family instead, the Falcon B Series B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage equivalent. The Emtek is handed left or right, which the non-handed Falcon levers are not.
20) Which levers are alternatives to the Emtek Straight Knurled set if I want a square rose look?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Straight Knurled set can be ordered with a Square or Modern Rectangular rosette on an L-Square stem, in a contemporary style. For a square-trim alternative from another brand, the Bravura Tampa with square trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset. Note the Bravura Tampa is passage function while the Emtek set here is Privacy/Bed/Bath, so they are not interchangeable on a bathroom door.
21) What finishes does the Emtek Straight Knurled lever come in, and are the lever and rosette the same finish?
Seven finishes, applied to both the rosette and the stem: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Note that Unlacquered Brass is a living finish by nature, so it will patina with handling rather than stay bright.
