Emtek 5209US19.RAUS19.HA.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a privacy function lever mean on a bedroom or bathroom door?
Privacy function means it locks from the inside, with no key and no keyway anywhere on the set. The Emtek R-Bar Hammered lever is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath lockset, so it is for interior doors where someone inside wants to lock the room, not for an entry door or anything you need to key alike with the rest of the building. If you need a key on it, this is the wrong function.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Emtek R-Bar Hammered lever?
Yes, it is handed. The R-Bar Hammered 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 placing the order. If you are buying levers for several openings in a building, count the LH and RH doors separately rather than ordering one number.
3) What comes in the box with the Emtek privacy lever set, and what else do I need to buy?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes you selected, the latch and the strike plate. Order the CF (Concealed Fastener) mechanism and a 28 degree latch comes with it. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in the door edge. Nothing else is required for a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep.
4) Is the Emtek R-Bar Hammered privacy lever suitable for a commercial building or apartment turnover?
It is a residential tubular lockset, brass bodied and non-keyed, so it belongs on bedroom and bath doors in homes, condos and hospitality-style interiors. For commercial corridors, schools or high-traffic multi-family where you need a graded cylindrical lock, look at something like the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock or the Hager 2540 privacy lock with the Withnell lever, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Those are built for the duty cycle the Emtek is not sold for.
5) I need a lever for a closet or hall door that does not lock. Does this privacy set work?
No. The R-Bar Hammered set is a privacy function, meaning it has a locking thumbturn and an inside lock, which is not what you want on a closet or a hall door that should stay free-swinging. For those openings order a passage lever instead, such as the Bravura Miramar passage leverset with round trim or the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever, which fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) My existing doors are bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset. Do I need a special latch?
Just call it out on the order. The standard latch supplied with the Emtek R-Bar Hammered set is set up for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is a selectable option you specify when ordering. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you choose, since a 2-3/8 latch will not reach the strike on a 2-3/4 prep.
7) The door needs to lock with a key, not a thumbturn - what replaces the Emtek R-Bar Hammered privacy lever?
The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set is non-keyed, so a keyed function is a different lock. Among decorative levers, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead are entry levers that take doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Deltana 5851 Claremont is an entry lever in the Claremont series. For a graded keyed entry, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entry lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset - the same backset the Emtek standard latch uses.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Hammered lever privacy set from another decorative brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative match. Both are privacy/bed/bath function levers sold as a rose-mounted decorative set rather than a commercial trim package. The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set is solid brass and is offered with seven rosette shapes - Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire - while the Baldwin 5103 privacy comes on the single 5048 rose. If the door already carries Baldwin Estate trim elsewhere in the house, the 5103 keeps the family consistent; if you want to pick the rose shape to suit the door, the Emtek set is the one that varies.
9) I need the same look on a bedroom door but with no lock at all - what do I order instead of the Emtek R-Bar Hammered privacy set?
The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set is a privacy/bed/bath lock with a thumbturn, so for a hall or closet door that needs no locking, order a passage lever instead. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the decorative counterpart in the same 5103 family as the Baldwin privacy version, so a bedroom and its adjoining closet can carry matching trim with different functions. On the commercial side, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset offered in US4 satin brass.
10) Which privacy lever should I use for a commercial bathroom door instead of the Emtek R-Bar Hammered set?
The Emtek R-Bar Hammered lever is a residential set, so for a commercial restroom look at a graded privacy lock. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and takes 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 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, though it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, which matters if the facility requires lever operation. For a public toilet opening on Yale hardware, the Accentra 107S is a Grade 1 apartment exit/public toilet part.
11) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - which lever fits where the Emtek R-Bar Hammered set does not?
The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch with standard door prep, but with the Concealed Fastener mechanism the range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a thick door with the CF option needs to be specified or handled another way. Levers that carry a wider published range include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set at 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. Match the function you actually need before matching the thickness.
12) What is the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism option on Emtek levers and should I take it?
CF hides the mounting screws, so the rosette face is clean with no visible fasteners. It is a look, and it costs you range: with CF the door thickness window is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches instead of the 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches the standard latch covers, and thicker doors have to be specified. CF also brings the 28 degree latch. On a standard 1-3/4 inch door either choice works; on a thick or non-standard door, the standard latch is the safer pick.
13) Can I match the Emtek R-Bar Hammered lever to the other door hardware finishes in my house?
Seven finishes cover the rosette and 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). A split finish can also be called out if you want one finish on the hall side and another in the room. The body is solid brass throughout.
14) Which rosette shapes can I get with the Emtek R-Bar Hammered lever?
Seven rosettes pair with the R-Bar Hammered lever: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire. Any brass rosette in the SELECT range can be ordered with it, which is how you keep a round rose on the traditional wing of a house and a square or rectangular one where the trim is contemporary, without changing lever.
15) Does the STRETTO rosette need a different door prep than a standard bore?
Yes, and it is the one prep exception worth catching before the door is drilled. STRETTO takes a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore hole plus a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy, not the 2-1/8 inch single bore the other rosettes use. If the doors are already bored 2-1/8 inch, pick one of the standard brass rosettes instead.
16) What is a decorative alternative to the Emtek privacy lever if I want a different look on a bedroom door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative equivalent from another brand, same privacy/bed/bath function on an interior door. Baldwin also offers the 5103 in passage and in left and right hand half dummy, so a run of doors can share the lever design across functions. The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set differs in that you choose the rosette and the finish separately, seven of each.
17) Is the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever a substitute for the Emtek R-Bar Hammered privacy set?
They cover the same opening but not the same specification. Both are privacy/bed/bath levers for residential doors, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set is Grade 3 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set is solid brass, is ordered with a chosen rosette from seven shapes and a chosen finish, and is handed left or right. The Kwikset Breton is the straightforward interior privacy lever; the Emtek is the specified decorative set where the rose shape and finish are part of the design.
18) What do I order for the closet next to a bedroom that has the Emtek R-Bar Hammered privacy lever, if the door only needs a pull?
A dummy lever is the non-operating counterpart. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a left hand half dummy and a right hand half dummy, both on the 5048 rose, so the dummy matches the same Baldwin trim family. For commercial trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty and non-keyed, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Note the Emtek R-Bar Hammered privacy set is handed left or right, so match the hand of the door when picking a half dummy.
19) Can I use the Emtek R-Bar Hammered lever on a high-traffic corridor or classroom door?
It is built as a residential privacy set with a tubular lock, which suits bedroom and bath openings rather than institutional traffic. For those doors, the graded options differ by function: the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors; the Dexter C1000 classroom is a Grade 1 keyed clutching classroom lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt; and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. Pick by the function the door needs to perform, not by trim.
20) Are keyless pushbutton lever locks an alternative to the Emtek R-Bar Hammered privacy set?
They solve a different problem. The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set is a non-electronic privacy lock operated by thumbturn from inside. 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 a double combination, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those control who can enter with a code; a privacy set simply lets the occupant secure the room from inside, with no code to issue or manage.
21) What is the difference between the Emtek R-Bar Hammered privacy lever and an entrance/office lever like the Cal-Royal AUS00?
The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set is a non-keyed privacy lock: it secures from the inside only, with no cylinder. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entrance/office cylindrical lever - both are keyed so someone outside can be admitted or locked out. Use privacy on bedrooms and baths; use entrance/office where the room is secured against the outside.
22) Is the Emtek R-Bar Hammered lever solid brass or plated?
Solid brass, both the substrate and the finished material, which is why the unlacquered brass option is offered at all: US3NL is meant to be left bare so it patinas with handling. The hammered texture is on the lever itself, paired with the R-Bar stem.
23) I want a square-rose lever like the Emtek R-Bar Hammered set but in a simpler graded product - what else has square trim?
The Emtek R-Bar Hammered set can be ordered with a Square or Modern Rectangular rosette in a contemporary style. For a graded lever with square trim, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. If round trim suits better, the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim. All three of those are passage function, so they are the match when the door does not need to lock.
