Emtek 5209US19.RAUS19.FA.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Faceted privacy lever drop into a door that already has a knob or lever on it?
If the existing hole is the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, yes, it goes straight in with no new drilling. Those are the two normal residential backsets and 2-1/8 inch is the standard bore, so most doors built in the last few decades take it. Check the latch faceplate mortise in the door edge as well, and order the round corner or square corner faceplate to match what is already cut.
2) Does the Emtek Faceted privacy lever set include the latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes, the latch and the strike plate. Nothing else to buy for a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door. The latch faceplate is offered in round corner or square corner so it can drop into the existing mortise in the door edge.
3) Do I need to specify handing on an Emtek Faceted R-Bar lever?
Yes, handing is a required choice, left hand or right hand. On a lever this decides which way the handle points when the door is closed and facing you, so stand outside the room and check the hinge side before ordering. There is no reversible option here, and a privacy set is used in pairs on bedroom and bath doors where a mismatched lever is obvious.
4) Is the Emtek Faceted lever privacy set rated for commercial use, or is it a residential lock?
It is a residential lock. Solid brass, tubular cylindrical construction, non-keyed privacy function with a thumbturn inside. For a commercial corridor, a classroom, or anywhere a Grade 1 or Grade 2 privacy lock is specified on the drawings, look at the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock or the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock instead. Those are built for the cycle counts a school or office building puts on a door.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted lever privacy set from another decorative brand?
Baldwin's Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative-brand counterpart. Both are privacy/bed/bath levers built for interior bedroom and bathroom doors rather than keyed openings. The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Faceted set is brass and non-keyed, and the lever, stem and rosette are ordered as separate choices - Faceted lever on an R-Bar stem with a Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford or Wilshire rosette. The Baldwin 5103 privacy comes as a fixed lever-and-rose pairing on the 5048 rose, so the design is decided by the model number instead of by three separate selections.
6) What privacy lever should I use on a bathroom door in a commercial building instead of an Emtek Faceted lever?
The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted privacy set is a residential lockset. For a commercial bath or bedroom opening where a graded lock is required, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock rated Grade 1 with a fire rating, using a Tudor knob rather than a lever, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both carry an ANSI grade, which the Emtek residential set is not sold under.
7) Does an Emtek Faceted privacy lever work on an exterior or keyed entry door?
No. The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted set is non-keyed with a privacy/bed/bath function, which locks from the inside only and is intended for interior bedroom and bath doors. For a keyed exterior or office opening in the same decorative brass family, Deltana offers entry levers such as the 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead, all listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, plus the 5851 Claremont entry lever. On the commercial side, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
8) My door is 2 inches thick - will an Emtek Faceted lever fit, or do I need something else?
The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted set fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore in standard door prep, but if the concealed fastener mechanism is selected the range narrows to 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch unless a thicker door is specified on the order. Ordered with the standard latch instead of the CF mechanism, a 2 inch door is inside the range. If a thicker-door lever is wanted in graded product, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
9) What is the Concealed Fastener option on the Emtek Faceted lever, and should I take it?
CF hides the mounting screws, so you get a clean rosette face with no visible fasteners. Two things come with that choice: a 28 degree latch is included, and the door thickness range tightens to 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches instead of the 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches the standard latch covers. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, take the standard latch or call out the thickness when ordering.
10) Can I mix rosette styles and finishes with the Faceted R-Bar lever?
The Faceted lever on the R-Bar stem takes any of seven brass rosettes: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire. Finishes for the rosette and stem run Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). A split finish can be called out as a text option if you want the inside face different from the outside.
11) Does the STRETTO rosette need a different door prep than the standard Emtek bore?
Yes, and it is worth knowing before you drill. Standard Emtek rosettes on the Faceted privacy set use a 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. That is a different template, so a door already bored 2-1/8 inch will not take a STRETTO without patching.
12) What is the difference between a privacy lever and a passage lever, and which do I need for a bedroom?
Privacy is what you want on a bedroom or bathroom. The Faceted privacy set locks from the inside with a thumbturn and has no key on the outside, so it holds the door against someone walking in but still releases in an emergency. A passage set has no locking mechanism at all, just latches, and is what goes on a hall or closet door. If you want passage function in the same style family, Emtek builds the Faceted lever as a passage set too. Neither one is keyed.
13) I have Baldwin Estate levers on the other bedroom doors. Is the Emtek Faceted a match?
Not a match in appearance. The Faceted R-Bar is a contemporary brass lever with a faceted grip and a choice of seven rosettes; Baldwin's Estate 5103 privacy lever uses the 5048 rose and reads traditional. Both are residential privacy sets for a bored door, so either will function on the same opening, but mixing them across a floor will look mixed. If you are matching existing Baldwin Estate doors, stay with the Baldwin 5103 privacy lever; if you are converting the whole floor, the Emtek gives you the finish and rosette range to standardize on.
14) I need a budget privacy lever for a rental turnover. Is the Emtek Faceted the right call?
For a straight turnover on a rental, it is more lock than the job needs. The Faceted R-Bar is a solid brass designer set with seven rosette and seven finish combinations, aimed at a finished residential interior. For volume unit work the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is a Grade 3 residential privacy set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the Emtek where the hardware is part of the design, and a Grade 3 set where it just has to work.
15) Is there a simpler lever than the Emtek Faceted privacy set for a hall or closet door?
A hall or closet door does not need a privacy mechanism, so a passage lever is the straightforward choice. The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted set is built as privacy/bed/bath with a thumbturn side. For a matching-look passage lever at the decorative end, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the passage version of that same lever and rose. On the utility end, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel.
16) I need a matching non-latching lever on a closet or double door - what pairs with an Emtek Faceted privacy lever?
A dummy lever is the non-latching trim used on inactive leaves and closet doors. The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted set is a complete privacy lockset with latch and strike plate, so it is not the part for that opening. Baldwin offers the Estate 5103 as a handed half dummy - BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand - on the same 5048 rose as its privacy version, which keeps one lever design across the latching and non-latching doors. In graded product, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty.
17) What looks like a substitute for an Emtek Faceted privacy lever but is not?
Two categories get mistaken for it. Keyless pushbutton levers such as the Lockey 2835 and Lockey 2835DC are passage-function keypad locks for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 and 1150S are heavy duty mechanical keypad lever sets for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch - they control who enters by code rather than giving an occupant a thumbturn to lock a bathroom from inside. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2, while the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Faceted set is non-electronic. Also distinct are institution-function locks like the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock and the Dexter C1000 asylum F87, which are keyed on both sides and remove the occupant's ability to unlock by turn.
18) I am standardizing bedroom and bath levers across an apartment portfolio - how does the Emtek Faceted privacy set compare to a builder-grade privacy lever?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is the builder-grade counterpart: Grade 3, privacy/bed/bath, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, supplied as one fixed lever and trim combination. The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted set is a brass residential privacy set that is configured rather than picked off a single model number - Faceted lever, R-Bar stem, one of seven rosette shapes, and finish in Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) or Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Portfolio-wide, the Kwikset reorders as a single part number, while the Emtek repeats only if the full configuration is recorded and reordered the same way.
19) Do I have to specify handing on a privacy lever, or are there non-handed options?
The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted privacy set is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so the swing has to be confirmed before the order goes in. If a non-handed lever is preferred so one part covers either swing, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lock and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock are both non-handed designs, though both are passage rather than privacy function. Among privacy-function peers, Baldwin's Estate 5103 privacy is a single part while its half dummy version is split into left hand and right hand.
20) Is there a decorative privacy lever with square or rectangular trim rather than a round rose?
Yes. The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Faceted privacy set takes a Square, Modern Rectangular or Urban Modern rosette alongside the round Disk, Quincy, Watford and Wilshire options, so the trim shape is chosen at order time on a contemporary-styled brass set. Among peers, Bravura's Tampa BVR-BV333702 is a square trim leverset, while the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar are round trim - all four are Grade 2 passage function rather than privacy, so they suit hall and closet doors instead of bath and bedroom.
