Emtek 5209US19.TAUS19.SM.RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth lever privacy set fit my existing door prep?
It drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as shipped, and a 2-3/4 inch backset is selectable if your bore is set back further. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches on the standard mechanism. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn privacy.
2) What is the door thickness limit if I choose the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism on the Emtek SELECT lever?
With the CF mechanism the range narrows to 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, versus 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches on the standard mechanism. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches and you still want concealed fasteners, the door thickness has to be specified on the order so the right mechanism is supplied. The CF option also brings a 28 degree latch with it.
3) Do I need to specify handing on an Emtek T-Bar lever privacy set?
Yes, this one is handed. The T-Bar stem lever is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side the lever sits before ordering. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand. Order the wrong hand and the lever points the wrong direction.
4) Is this Emtek lever suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
No. The SELECT Series T-Bar Smooth privacy set is a residential tubular lockset, built for interior doors in homes and finished residential spaces. For a commercial opening with traffic and code requirements, look at a graded cylindrical lock instead, such as the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock, which fits 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and is fire rated, or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
5) What is the closest decorative brass privacy lever to the Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth lever?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the nearest decorative equivalent - it is a privacy/bed/bath lever like the Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth set. The Emtek side is a brass SELECT-series lever built around a separately chosen rosette (Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, Wilshire), while the Baldwin 5103 comes fixed with the 5048 rose, so the choice usually comes down to whether you want to specify the rose shape yourself.
6) I need a privacy lever for a commercial bathroom instead of a residential one - what should I use?
The Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth privacy set is catalogued 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 Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door range, though it carries a Tudor knob rather than a lever.
7) I ordered the Emtek T-Bar Smooth privacy set but the door is a hallway or closet - what do I need instead?
The Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth set is a privacy/bed/bath function with a thumbturn, so it is not right for a hall or closet door. For a matching decorative passage lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is a passage/hall/closet function. If the opening only needs a pull with no latch at all, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered in left hand and right hand versions.
8) What comes in the box with the Emtek SELECT privacy leverset, and do I need anything else?
It ships as a complete set: both levers, the rosettes in your chosen style and finish, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed for a standard bored door. It's non-keyed, so there's no cylinder to buy. The latch faceplate can be had round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in your door edge.
9) What is the difference between a privacy lever and a passage lever for a bedroom or bathroom door?
Privacy is what you want on a bed or bath. The Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth privacy set locks from inside with a thumbturn and has an emergency release outside, with no key. A passage set, like the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage lever or the Bravura Atlanta passage leverset, simply latches and never locks, which is right for a hall or closet. If you need key control, neither one does it, this set is non-keyed by design.
10) Can I match this Emtek lever to the rest of the hardware in the house?
Rosette and stem finish is chosen from Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Rosette shape can be Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, or Wilshire, so the same T-Bar Smooth lever can be squared off or rounded to suit the rest of the openings. There is also a split finish option if you want the interior and exterior sides different.
11) What is a comparable privacy lever from another brand if I want something less expensive?
For a straightforward residential privacy lever, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set is a Grade 3 option covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy lever with 5048 rose is the closer match in look and build to the Emtek SELECT brass sets. On the commercial side, the Hager 2540 privacy lock with Withnell lever handles 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors at Grade 2.
12) What is a lower-cost privacy lever alternative to the Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth set?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is a simpler builder-grade option - Grade 3, privacy/bed/bath function, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth privacy set is a brass lever with selectable rosette and finish across seven options including Unlacquered Brass and Flat Black, so it is the choice when the door is a design feature rather than a back-of-house opening.
13) Can I use a Falcon or Dexter passage lever in place of the Emtek T-Bar Smooth privacy set?
No - those are passage locks with no locking function. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Dexter C1000 passage is a Grade 1 clutching non-keyed passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth set is a privacy/bed/bath function, so a bedroom or bath door needs the privacy version rather than either passage lock.
14) The Emtek T-Bar Smooth privacy set is non-keyed - what do I use on a door that needs a key?
The Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth privacy set is non-keyed. For a keyed opening in a similar decorative style, the Deltana 6201 Manchester and Deltana 6431 Linstead are entry-function levers for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. On the commercial side, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
15) My door is 2 inches thick - will the Emtek T-Bar Smooth privacy set work, or is there a better option?
The Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth privacy set fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch with a standard 2-1/8 inch 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 commercial alternative rated for that thickness, the Falcon K101 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
16) Is the Emtek SELECT T-Bar lever solid brass?
Brass is the material and the substrate on the SELECT Series T-Bar Smooth lever, so the finish sits on brass rather than a zinc or steel base. That matters for the Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) option in particular, which is meant to patina over time with handling.
17) Can I order the Emtek T-Bar Smooth lever with a rosette that is not shown with it?
Any Emtek brass rosette can be paired with this lever. The catalogued combinations cover Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, and Wilshire, and the STRETTO sideplate is also possible, though that one changes the door prep to a 1-1/4 inch bore with two holes for the privacy thumbturn.
18) Is a Bravura leverset a substitute for the Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth privacy set?
Not for a bedroom or bath. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa leversets are all Grade 2 passage/hall/closet function, and the Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 Satin Brass. The Emtek SELECT T-Bar Smooth set is a privacy/bed/bath lever, and it also offers Satin Brass (US4) among its finishes if matching that tone is the goal.
