Emtek 5209US19.TAUS19.HA.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy lever keyed, and how does the bed and bath function lock?
Non-keyed. It is a privacy/bed and bath function tubular lockset, so it locks from the inside with a thumbturn or button and has no cylinder or key. For a bedroom, bathroom, or any interior door that just needs to be secured from within, that is the right function. If you need a keyed exterior door, this is not the set.
2) Do I need to order a latch and strike separately with the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy set?
No, it is a complete set. The latch and the strike plate are both included, and the latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner so it matches the mortise already cut in your door edge. Nothing else is required to hang it on a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek T-Bar hammered lever?
Yes, handing is required, left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand. Get it wrong on a lever set and the lever points the wrong way when hung, so confirm the swing before you order. This applies to every rosette and finish combination.
4) Is the Emtek T-Bar Hammered lever suitable for a commercial building or an apartment turnover?
It is a residential-duty solid brass lever set, contemporary styling, no ANSI grade carried. For a single-family home, a condo, or a high-end unit interior it is the right kind of product. For commercial corridors, schools, or heavy multi-family traffic where a graded lock is specified, look at a graded privacy lever instead, such as the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 2 privacy lock if a knob is acceptable.
5) The door is 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy lever work, or do I need something else?
The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Hammered privacy set fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch on a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, but if the Concealed Fastener mechanism is selected the range narrows to 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. On a 2 inch door, order it with the standard latch rather than CF. If you would rather have a peer sized for it from the start, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers each list a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch - though those are entry and passage functions, not privacy.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Hammered lever in privacy function?
For a rose-mounted residential privacy lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest peer - same privacy/bed/bath function, same decorative rose-mounted lever format. The Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy set is a brass, non-keyed privacy/bed/bath lever in the SELECT Series, ordered with a choice of Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford or Wilshire rosette and a left or right hand. The Baldwin is specified with its 5048 rose rather than a rosette menu, so if the design intent is matching a specific rose shape across a house, that is the deciding difference.
7) I need a bed and bath lever for a rental unit and do not need a decorative brass set. What is a simpler option?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever set with a stated door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - a plainer, single-configuration bedroom and bathroom lever with no rosette or finish menu to specify. The Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy set is a brass residential set built to order across handing, rosette style and finish. For turnover work on apartment bedroom doors where every lever is the same, the Breton takes one line on a purchase order; the Emtek is the choice when the interior doors are part of the finish package.
8) Can I use the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy lever on a commercial corridor or restroom door that needs an ANSI grade?
The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Hammered privacy set is a residential tubular cylindrical lockset. When a facility restroom or institutional opening has to carry a graded lock, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock rated Grade 1 with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Specify one of those where the drawing calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade, and keep the Emtek for residential interior doors.
9) What rosette shapes and finishes can I get the Emtek hammered T-Bar privacy lever in?
Seven rosettes: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford and Wilshire. Seven finishes on 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). If you are matching existing hardware in a house or a building, pick the rosette shape that repeats what is already on the other doors, then the finish. A split finish can also be specified if the two sides of the door need to differ.
10) What is the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism option on the Emtek privacy lever and should I pick it?
CF hides the mounting screws so the rosette face is clean with no visible fasteners. Ordering it also brings the 28 degree latch. The trade-off is door thickness: CF is built for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, while the standard latch version handles up to 2-1/4 inches. On thicker doors, or where the screw heads are not a concern, take the standard latch.
11) Does the Emtek hammered lever need extra door prep for the STRETTO rosette?
Yes, that one is different. STRETTO calls for a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore hole and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn on a privacy set, rather than the 2-1/8 inch single cross bore the other rosettes use. If your doors are already bored 2-1/8 inch, stay with the standard rosette shapes and no redrilling is needed.
12) What is a cheaper privacy lever than the Emtek hammered set for a rental bathroom door?
The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is the budget option, Grade 3, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The Emtek is solid brass with seven rosette shapes and seven finishes and is aimed at doors people look at; the Kwikset is a straightforward residential privacy set. If the door is behind the scenes in a rental turnover, the Breton does the job.
13) What other decorative brand privacy lever compares to the Emtek T-Bar hammered set?
Baldwin's Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer on the decorative side, same privacy/bed and bath function. Emtek's advantage in a whole-house package is that the T-Bar hammered lever can be paired with any brass rosette in the range, so entry, passage and privacy doors can carry the same rosette shape. Baldwin also runs matching passage and half dummy versions of the 5103 for closet and inactive doors.
14) I need a matching lever for a closet door that does not lock. Is this privacy set the right one?
No. The T-Bar Hammered privacy set is bed and bath function, meaning it locks from the inside, which a closet or hall door does not want. Order a passage lever for those openings. Emtek runs the same T-Bar hammered lever in passage, so the rosette and finish match across the doors. If you are buying across brands, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever and the Bravura Atlanta passage leverset are non-locking options in the same class.
15) The bathroom door is on a 2-3/4 inch backset. Does that rule out the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy lever?
It does not. The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Hammered privacy set is offered on a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, with the standard latch supplied for 2-3/8 inch unless 2-3/4 inch is specified at the time of order. Among peers, backset is often locked to the part number - the Cal-Royal AG00 is catalogued at a 2-3/8 inch backset and the AG03 classroom lever at 2-3/4 inch, so you choose the number that matches the prep. With the Emtek you choose the backset on the same set.
16) I ordered the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy set for the bedrooms. What do I use on the hall and closet doors to match?
Privacy is the wrong function for a hall or closet door - it latches with a thumbturn and an emergency release. For the same opening in passage, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is a passage/hall/closet lever in the same decorative rose-mounted format, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered left hand and right hand for a door that only pushes. The Emtek T-Bar Hammered set itself is a privacy/bed/bath set and is ordered left or right hand, so keep the handing consistent across the run.
17) Is a keyed entry lever like the Cal-Royal AG00 a substitute for the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy set?
No - they secure the door differently. The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Hammered set is non-keyed with a privacy/bed/bath function, locked from inside by thumbturn with no cylinder to key. The Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Deltana 5851 Claremont and 6201 Manchester are entry function levers. Those go on doors that need to be locked from outside with a key; on a bedroom or bathroom door a keyed cylinder is the wrong function and in many jurisdictions the wrong code answer.
18) What should I specify instead of the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy lever on a door that only needs a pull, with no latch?
A dummy trim is the right call there - a lever that mounts to the face of the door with no latch or turn at all, typical on an inactive leaf or a closet that catches on a ball catch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes left hand and right hand, the Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy. The Emtek T-Bar Hammered set is a privacy set that includes a latch and strike plate, so on a no-latch opening you would be paying for a mechanism the door cannot use.
19) Does the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy set work as a keyless entry for a short-term rental?
It does not - it is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath set with an inside thumbturn, so there is no code or credential on the outside. For keyless access on a lever, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance fitting 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Use one of those on the entry door and keep the Emtek privacy set on the interior bedroom and bath doors.
20) How do I tell the Emtek SELECT T-Bar Hammered privacy lever apart from other levers in the same family when I order?
Four axes define it. The handle is Hammered and the stem is T-Bar - those two together are the design, and both are fixed on this set. Function is privacy/bed/bath, non-keyed. Then you pick handing left or right, one of seven rosettes, and one of 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, or Unlacquered Brass US3NL. A peer identified by a single catalog number, such as the Bravura Miramar BV940-106 passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass, folds finish and trim into the part number; here the finish and rosette are ordered as selections against the SELECT Series set.
21) We are standardizing interior levers across a building. Is the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy set the right family to standardize on?
It suits residential interiors - it is a residential brass tubular set in a contemporary style, and the T-Bar Hammered design carries across rosettes and finishes so a floor can look consistent. For a facility standard where the specification is written by grade rather than by design, the commercial families are the ones that repeat by function: Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed passage lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating, and Hager runs 2510 passage, 2525 entry and 2580 storeroom at Grade 2 on the Withnell lever. Decide which axis your standard is written on - appearance or grade - and specify from that side.
22) Is the Emtek T-Bar Hammered privacy set handed the same way the Baldwin and Falcon levers are?
No, and this catches people on reorders. The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Hammered privacy set is ordered as left hand or right hand, so you confirm the swing before the order goes in. Falcon B101 and K101 are non-handed passage locks, and Baldwin splits handing only on the half dummy, where left hand and right hand are separate part numbers. If you are replacing a non-handed commercial lever with the Emtek, walk the doors and count LH and RH before releasing the order.
23) Can I order the Emtek T-Bar hammered lever with different finishes on each side of the door?
Yes. Split finish is an optional entry on the order, so the corridor side can run one finish and the room side another, useful when a hallway is Oil Rubbed Bronze and the bathroom is Polished Nickel. State both finishes in the split finish field.
