Emtek 5109US19.RAUS19.KN.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek R-Bar Knurled passage lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door, and what about a thicker 2-1/4 inch slab?
The R-Bar Knurled passage set covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors on a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep. One caveat that catches people out: if you order it with the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism, the range narrows to 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and anything thicker has to be specified when you order. There is a Door Thickness field on the order form for exactly that. Standard commercial and most residential slabs at 1-3/4 inch are inside both ranges.
2) Does the Emtek knurled lever passage set work with a 2-3/4 inch backset, or only 2-3/8?
Both. Backset is a required choice at 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, and the latch is adjustable between the two. The 2-3/8 inch is what ships as standard, so if your existing bore is drilled at 2-3/4 inch from the door edge to the center of the cross bore, pick that on the order form. Those are the two backsets you will find in a residential door prep.
3) What comes in the box with the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage lever, or do I need to buy the latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to source for a standard prepped door. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner so it can match the mortise already cut in your door edge, and if you choose the CF mechanism the 28 degree latch is included.
4) Do I need to specify handing on an Emtek passage lever, and can I flip it in the field?
Handing is a required choice on the R-Bar Knurled set, left hand or right hand, because the lever is a directional bar rather than a symmetrical shape. Determine it standing on the outside of the door: if the hinges are on your left, it is left hand. Order the wrong hand and the lever points the wrong way relative to the swing. This differs from a lot of commercial passage levers, like the Falcon B101 and K101, which are built non-handed and go on either way.
5) Is a passage lever the right function for a hall or closet door, or do I need privacy?
Passage is the non-locking function: the latch holds the door closed and both levers always retract it. That is what you want on hall, closet, and pantry doors. There is no cylinder and no keyway on the R-Bar Knurled passage set, so it cannot be keyed. For a bedroom or bath you need the privacy version with a thumbturn, and for an exterior or lockable office door you need a keyed entry function instead.
6) Will the Emtek knurled lever drop into a door already bored for a standard Kwikset or similar residential lever?
If that door has the usual 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, yes, the R-Bar Knurled passage set uses that same standard prep, and the latch faceplate can be had round corner or square corner to match the existing edge mortise. A Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage set, for reference, covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, entirely inside the Emtek's 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch window, so a door prepped for that one is prepped for this one. What will not carry over is handing: the Emtek is ordered left or right hand.
7) What is the closest passage lever to the Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Knurled Lever passage set if the door is a commercial opening that needs a graded lock?
The Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Knurled passage set is a residential tubular passage lockset in brass. For a commercial opening that has to carry a grade, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both hold the same passage function - latch retracts from either side, no lock - so the opening behaves the same way; the difference is the graded, fire rated commercial build versus the decorative brass residential set.
8) The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage set will not lock - what should go on a bedroom or bathroom door instead?
Passage is the wrong function for a bed or bath door: the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set is non-keyed passage, so the latch retracts from both sides with nothing to secure it. For a door that needs a thumbturn, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is a privacy function lever, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek set stays correct on halls and closets.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage set but will not work on a working door?
Dummy trim is the common mix-up. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose comes in left hand and right hand versions and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy - both mount a lever to the face of the door with no latch behind it, for a closet or pantry door held by a ball catch. The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set is a passage set sold complete with latch and strike plate, so it operates a latching door. Order dummy trim only where the door has no latch bore working.
10) What is the Concealed Fastener (CF) option on the Emtek knurled lever and should I choose it?
CF is the mechanism that hides the mounting screws, so you see a clean rosette face instead of two visible fasteners. Two things change when you pick it: the 28 degree latch is included, and the door thickness range tightens to 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch instead of the standard set's 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch, either note the thickness when ordering or take the standard latch instead.
11) Which rosette shapes can I get with the Emtek knurled R-Bar lever?
Seven rosettes pair with the R-Bar Knurled lever: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, and Wilshire. Any brass rosette in the SELECT range can be ordered with it, so you can run round Disk roses on one part of the house and Square on another and keep the same knurled lever throughout. Worth noting for anyone specifying a STRETTO rosette on a privacy opening elsewhere in the same order, that one wants a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep, which is not the standard prep this passage set uses.
12) I have a closet door with a matching dummy on the inactive leaf. Does Emtek's passage set cover that?
No, a passage set is a working latch for a single operating door. For a fixed leaf, a French door pair, or a closet door that does not latch, you need a dummy trim, which mounts to the face with no latch behind it. Comparable dummy levers in the same style family include the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, available in both left and right hand. For commercial work the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim and the 7KC Series is the Grade 2 medium duty version.
13) Is there a simpler passage lever than the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set for a closet door in a rental unit?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage set is a brass residential set built around a choice of seven rosettes and seven finishes. For a plain hall or closet door where the trim does not need to match a decorative program, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 passage set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Both do the same job at the opening - non-keyed latch operation from both sides - without the finish and rosette range.
14) For a school or healthcare corridor, is the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage set an acceptable standard, or should a different passage lever be specified?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set is a residential brass passage lockset, so it is specified for dwelling-side doors rather than institutional corridors. Where a facility standard calls for a graded, fire rated passage lever, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty passage with a fire rating, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. A Grade 2 option in the same passage function is the Design Hardware J75.
15) Does a passage lever have to be ordered by hand, and which alternatives are non-handed?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set is ordered left hand or right hand, so the door swing has to be confirmed before it ships. If a fleet order is easier to stock non-handed, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers. The Emtek set is the handed choice when the knurled R-Bar lever and brass rosette program is what the door calls for.
16) What is a keyless-entry alternative to the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage set for a door that needs code access?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set is non-electronic and non-keyed, so it gives no access control at all. Where a code is needed, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835DC adds double combination in the same thickness range, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. All three run mechanically, with no wiring at the opening.
17) Which brass passage lever matches the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set for a satin brass door program?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage set is offered in Satin Brass (US4) along with Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Chrome (US26), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) and Flat Black (US19). A comparable passage leverset in the same US4 satin brass is the Bravura Miramar with round trim, a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass. The Emtek set differs in offering the knurled R-Bar lever across seven rosette shapes rather than a single round trim.
18) Is the Accentra 5301LN a direct swap for the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage set?
They share the passage function - the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock with passage/closet function in the 5300 Series, and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series. Both operate the opening the same way as the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set. The difference is the trim: the Accentra sets carry the Augusta lever design, while the Emtek set is a brass knurled lever on an R-Bar stem with a choice of rosette. Function swaps cleanly; the look does not.
19) What square-trim passage lever pairs with the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled set on a contemporary door package?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Knurled passage set is a contemporary style set and its rosette choices include Square, Modern Rectangular and Urban Modern alongside Disk, Quincy, Watford and Wilshire. For a square-trim passage lever from another line, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim; round-trim contemporary options include the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando, both Grade 2 passage leversets.
