Emtek 5209US19.RAUS19.TR.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Tribeca privacy lever fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Tribeca R-Bar privacy lever installs into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and it covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. Two exceptions worth knowing: if you pick the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism, the door thickness range narrows to 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch unless you specify thicker, and the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore with 2-hole prep for the thumbturn.
2) Do I have to specify a backset when ordering the Emtek Tribeca privacy lever?
Backset is a required selection: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships for 2-3/8 inch, which is the usual residential bore location, so call out 2-3/4 inch if your existing prep is set back the deeper distance. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore to confirm before you order.
3) Is the Emtek Tribeca lever handed, and what happens if I order the wrong hand?
Handing matters. The R-Bar Tribeca lever is ordered Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and the lever will point the wrong way on the door if you get it backwards. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand.
4) What does the Concealed Fastener (CF) option on the Emtek Tribeca lever actually change?
Choosing CF hides the mounting screws on the rosette for a clean face, and it brings the 28 degree latch with it. The trade-off is door thickness: CF is built for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, so specify if yours is thicker. The standard latch version covers the full 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch range with visible fasteners.
5) Is the Emtek Tribeca privacy lever suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
No. It is a residential product, solid brass, tubular privacy function for bedrooms and baths, with no cylinder and no keyed override. For commercial openings where a graded lockset is specified, look at a Grade 1 or 2 cylindrical lever instead, such as the Falcon K101 Grade 1 or the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lever.
6) What is the closest decorative brass privacy lever to the Emtek Tribeca R-Bar if I want a different design family?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative equivalent: it is also a privacy/bed/bath lever set on a round rose. The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar privacy set is brass with a contemporary style, and its rosette is selectable across Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire, while the Baldwin 5103 privacy is offered with the 5048 rose. Both are residential-style privacy sets rather than commercial cylindrical locks.
7) I need a privacy lever for a commercial bathroom door, not a residential one. What should I use instead of the Emtek Tribeca?
The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar privacy set is a residential product. For a commercial bath or bedroom opening, 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. The Arrow MK02-TA is another privacy-function cylindrical lock, though it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever and lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range with a fire rating.
8) My door is 2 inches thick. Does the Emtek Tribeca R-Bar privacy lever fit, or do I need something else?
The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar privacy set fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch on a 2-1/8 inch standard bore, though with the Concealed Fastener mechanism the range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch unless a thicker door is specified. If you want a non-keyed lever rated wider at the top end from another brand, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum-function lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
9) What is included with the Emtek Tribeca privacy lever, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate, so nothing extra is needed to hang it on a prepped door. Both lever and rosette come in the set, and latch faceplates are available with round or square corners to match the mortise cut already in your door edge.
10) Which rosettes and finishes can I get on the Emtek SELECT Tribeca lever?
The Tribeca lever takes any brass rosette in the SELECT program, with seven shapes offered: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire. Finishes for the rosette and stem are 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 requested if you want the interior and exterior to differ.
11) Is there a simpler privacy lever than the Emtek Tribeca R-Bar for rental turnovers?
Yes. The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range and a single fixed trim design. The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar privacy set is a brass set where handle stem, rosette shape and finish are each specified separately, which suits a coordinated design package more than a one-model repeat buy.
12) What matches the Emtek Tribeca R-Bar privacy lever on the hall and closet doors, which do not need to lock?
Within other brands, passage-function counterparts include the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose and the Bravura Atlanta round-trim passage leverset, a Grade 2 passage set. The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar is built as a privacy/bed/bath set with a thumbturn-style inside lock, so it is not the part for a door that should never latch locked.
13) Which levers look like a substitute for the Emtek Tribeca privacy set but will not work on a bedroom or bath door?
Dummy and passage trims are the common mix-up. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, offered in left hand and right hand versions, and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever are surface-mounted trim with no latch at all. The Bravura Tampa square-trim leverset and the Design Hardware J75 flat lever are Grade 2 passage sets that latch but never lock. The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar set is a privacy/bed/bath lever supplied complete with latch and strike plate.
14) I need a keyed lock on the same door style as the Emtek Tribeca privacy lever. What are my options in other brands?
The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar set is non-keyed with a privacy/bed/bath function. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt on a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester is an entry lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
15) The Emtek Tribeca privacy lever is handed. Which comparable levers are non-handed?
The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar privacy set is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand. If handing is a problem for stocking, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 and Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical locks are described as non-handed, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible. Those are passage function, so they latch without locking rather than serving a bath or bedroom.
16) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever I can use instead of the Emtek Tribeca privacy set on a door I want code access on?
The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar is a mechanical non-electronic privacy set. For code entry, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant with a 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, the Lockey 1150S is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever with adjustable backset covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
17) For a high-traffic corridor door, is the Emtek Tribeca R-Bar lever the right choice or should I specify something heavier?
The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar privacy set is a residential brass lever. For heavy traffic, heavy-duty Grade 1 cylindrical levers in the comparable range include the Falcon T101 passage lever with pressure release technology, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, which is fire rated and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
18) What should I put on a utility or storage door where a privacy lever like the Emtek Tribeca is not appropriate?
The Emtek Tribeca R-Bar is a privacy/bed/bath set that unlocks from the outside in an emergency, which is not what a utility room wants. The Dexter C1000 asylum function lock is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty Grade 2 asylum lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. The Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever is another option where the door stays locked and keys in.
19) I need matching hardware on the hall and closet doors too. Does the Tribeca lever come in other functions?
This one is the privacy set, meaning a thumbturn inside and emergency release outside for bedrooms and baths. The Tribeca lever is part of Emtek's SELECT program, so the same R-Bar stem, rosette shape and finish can be carried across other functions to keep a whole floor consistent. Matching the rosette and finish selection is what makes the openings look alike.
