Emtek 5209US19.RAUS19.SM.RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth privacy lever fit my existing door prep?
It drops into standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. The standard latch is 2-3/8 inch backset, with 2-3/4 inch available if that is what your door is bored for. One exception on prep: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy function.
2) What is the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism option on the Emtek SELECT lever, and does it change the door thickness I can use?
Yes, it narrows the range. With the CF mechanism the set is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and anything thicker has to be called out when you order. The CF option also brings the 28 degree latch with it. If your doors run thicker than 1-3/4 inch and you do not want to specify a special, take the standard latch version instead, which covers up to 2-1/4 inch.
3) Is this Emtek lever suitable for a commercial or multifamily corridor job?
It is a residential tubular lockset, not a commercial-duty one. For apartment corridors, schools, or anywhere you need a graded commercial lock, look at options like the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, or the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock. Use the Emtek SELECT where the spec is decorative residential interior hardware.
4) My door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset. Will the standard Emtek latch reach?
No. The latch supplied by default is set for a 2-3/8 inch backset, so you have to call out the 2-3/4 inch backset when you order if that is how your door is bored. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the 2-1/8 inch cross bore to confirm which one you have.
5) What is a direct alternative to the Emtek SELECT Brass R-Bar Smooth Lever privacy set from another decorative brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the closest decorative-grade equivalent. Both are privacy/bed/bath lever sets built for interior residential doors. The difference is configurability: the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth lever is ordered with a choice of rosette shapes including Disk, Square, Quincy, Watford, Wilshire, Modern Rectangular and Urban Modern, while the Baldwin 5103 comes fixed with the 5048 rose.
6) I need a bed and bath lever for a high-traffic commercial restroom instead of the Emtek R-Bar Smooth privacy set. What should I use?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth privacy set is specified for residential use. For a commercial washroom, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a 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.
7) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek R-Bar Smooth privacy lever fit, or do I need something else?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth privacy set covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors with standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, so 2 inches is within range; note the CF concealed fastener mechanism version is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch unless a thicker door is specified. If you prefer a lever from another line at that thickness, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6431 Linstead entry levers both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever lists 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
8) Does the Emtek privacy leverset come with the latch and strike, or do I buy those separately?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. Latch faceplates are available round corner or square corner, so match the corner radius to what is already routed into your door edge and frame. No cylinder is involved, this is a non-keyed privacy function.
9) What does the privacy function actually do on a bedroom or bathroom door?
Privacy/bed/bath means the inside has a thumbturn that locks the lever from the room side, with an emergency release on the outside. There is no key and no cylinder. If you need the door to lock with a key from the hall, this is the wrong function, look at an entry or keyed function set instead.
10) What rosette and finish choices do I have on the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth lever?
Seven rosettes: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, and Wilshire. Seven finishes for 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). The lever, rosette, and stem are brass. There is also a split finish option if you want a different look on each face of the door.
11) Can I match this Emtek lever to the other Emtek hardware already in the house?
The SELECT Series is built to mix, the R-Bar stem and Smooth lever can be ordered with any brass rosette in the line, so you can keep a consistent rosette shape and finish across passage, privacy, and dummy openings. Keeping the finish code the same across doors (for example US15 Satin Nickel throughout) is what makes the openings read as a set.
12) What is a decorative alternative to the Emtek SELECT privacy lever if I want a different look?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative-residential equivalent we carry, same bed and bath function, different design family. On the budget end, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. What you give up moving away from Emtek SELECT is the rosette and finish mixing.
13) Is the Emtek R-Bar Smooth privacy lever handed, and which alternatives are non-handed?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth privacy set is ordered as left hand or right hand, so the opening has to be identified before the order goes in. If you are buying for stock and want to avoid handing decisions, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever both use a non-handed lever design, though both are passage rather than privacy function.
14) What is a lower-cost privacy lever if I do not need the Emtek SELECT brass finish options?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth privacy set is solid brass and offered in seven rosette and stem finishes including Unlacquered Brass, Polished Nickel and Flat Black, so choose it when the finish and rosette styling matter to the room.
15) Is the Baldwin 5103 passage lever a substitute for the Emtek R-Bar Smooth privacy set?
No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is passage/hall/closet function, meaning it always latches free with no locking. The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth set is privacy/bed/bath, with a thumbturn for bedroom and bathroom doors. If you want the matching Emtek lever without locking, order the passage version rather than substituting a passage lever from another brand.
16) What do I order for a closet or double door where the Emtek privacy lever will not work?
A non-operating dummy lever is the usual answer on a surface-mounted or inactive leaf, since the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth privacy set needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a latch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever is offered in left hand and right hand versions with the 5048 rose, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever.
17) The Emtek R-Bar Smooth privacy lever is non-keyed. What lever should I use on a door that needs a key?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth set is non-keyed privacy only. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever in the AG series with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick.
18) I am standardizing a multifamily building. How does the Emtek R-Bar Smooth privacy lever compare to commercial-grade privacy options for unit bathrooms?
The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth privacy set is a residential brass lever with contemporary styling and seven finish choices, well suited to unit interiors where appearance drives the spec. Where a graded product is required, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock carries a fire rating. Many buildings use the decorative lever inside units and the graded product on common-area doors.
19) Can I use a keypad lever like the Lockey 2835 in place of the Emtek privacy set on a bathroom door?
No, those are not interchangeable functions. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is a passage-function code lock for doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches thick, and the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set is also passage function for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors. Neither provides the interior thumbturn privacy locking that the Emtek SELECT R-Bar Smooth privacy set gives a bed or bath door.
