Emtek 5109US19.TAUS19.TR.RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Tribeca passage lever fit a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
With the standard latch, yes. The Tribeca T-Bar passage set covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors using standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep. If you order it with the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism instead, the range drops to 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, and anything thicker has to be called out on the order. The spec sheet also lists the set at 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, so on a door over 1-3/4 inches state the actual thickness when you order.
2) Does a passage lever lock or latch at all?
No. Passage function means the Tribeca lever set always retracts the latch from both sides, with no lock, no key, and no thumbturn. It is for halls, closets, and pantry doors where you only want a latched door. If you need to lock a bedroom or bath, order the privacy version instead; for a keyed opening you need an entry set.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Tribeca T-Bar lever?
Yes, it is handed. You choose Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH) when you order. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door. Get this wrong and the lever will point up instead of down.
4) Can I use the Emtek Tribeca lever on a commercial office or classroom door?
It is built as residential hardware, solid brass, tubular cylindrical construction, Art Deco styling in the SELECT Series. For a commercial opening where you need a graded lock, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever such as the Falcon K101 (Grade 1, heavy duty, 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors) or the Accentra 5301LN Augusta (Grade 2). Those are spec'd for traffic and abuse that a residential decorative set is not.
5) Will the Emtek Tribeca lever drop into an existing door prep without redrilling?
If the door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, it goes in as-is with the included latch and strike. The one exception in the SELECT line is the STRETTO rosette, which needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep for thumbturn privacy, so that one is not a straight swap into a single-bore door.
6) What is a decorative passage lever equivalent to the Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca passage set?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the closest decorative-grade peer. Both are passage function, so the latch is non-locking and retracts from either side with no key or thumbturn. The Emtek Tribeca is a brass SELECT lever built on a T-Bar stem and can be paired with seven rosette shapes including Disk, Square, Quincy and Wilshire, while the Baldwin 5103 comes matched to its 5048 rose. Choose based on which rose profile matches the rest of the openings.
7) I need a passage lever for a commercial corridor, not a residential door. What should I use instead of the Emtek Tribeca?
The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca passage set is designated residential. For commercial traffic, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock, fire rated, with non-handed levers and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is another Grade 1 passage/closet lever, vandal resistant and fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both give you an ANSI grade the Tribeca is not designated for.
8) The door needs to lock for a bathroom. Is the Emtek Tribeca passage set the wrong item?
Yes, for a bath or bedroom you need a privacy function, not passage. The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca passage set is non-keyed passage and does not lock. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is a decorative privacy alternative, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that an Emtek STRETTO rosette used for thumbturn privacy requires a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and 2-hole door prep.
9) What is the Concealed Fastener (CF) option on the Emtek Tribeca lever and should I choose it?
CF hides the mounting screws so the rosette faces show clean with no visible fasteners. Two trade-offs come with it: the door thickness range narrows to 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the 28 degree latch is included with it. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches or you want the widest thickness coverage, take the standard latch instead.
10) What comes in the box with the Emtek Tribeca passage set, or do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: levers, stems, rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to buy for a standard 2-1/8 inch bore door prep. You do pick the latch faceplate style, round corner or square corner, to match the existing mortise in the door edge.
11) Which rosette shapes and finishes can I get the Tribeca T-Bar lever in?
Seven rosettes: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, and Wilshire. Seven finishes on 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). Split finish is available if you want a different look on each side of the door, and the Tribeca lever can be paired with any brass rosette in the SELECT program.
12) I want a decorative brass passage lever for a house but not Emtek. What else is comparable?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the closest decorative equivalent, same passage function, same residential intent. If the budget is tighter, Bravura's Grade 2 passage leversets (Atlanta and Orlando with round trim, Tampa with square trim) cover the same opening in a plainer style. The difference with the Tribeca T-Bar set is the finish and rosette mixing, seven finishes across seven rosette shapes plus split finish.
13) Is there a simpler passage leverset than the Emtek Tribeca if I do not need the finish and rosette options?
Yes. The Bravura Atlanta with Round Trim and the Bravura Orlando with Round Trim are both Grade 2 passage leversets sold in a fixed trim configuration, and the Bravura Tampa is the same function with square trim. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. These arrive as one configuration, where the Emtek Tribeca is ordered by choosing rosette, finish, backset and handing.
14) What is the difference between the Emtek Tribeca passage set and a dummy lever?
A passage set like the Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca includes a working latch and strike plate and the lever retracts the latch. A dummy lever is fixed and has no latch at all, used on closet or inactive doors that pull shut against a catch. Dummy options include the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy in left and right hand versions, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim in Grade 1, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim in Grade 2.
15) Do I have to specify handing on a passage lever, or is there a non-handed option?
The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca passage set is ordered as left hand or right hand, so the opening has to be handed before you buy. If you want to avoid handing on the order, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers.
16) What passage lever should I standardize on across an apartment building instead of the Emtek Tribeca?
The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca is a residential Art Deco brass lever, better suited to a design-driven unit finish than to fleet standardization. For repeatable multi-family interior doors, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever in the 5300 Series, the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series, and the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. Sticking to one series keeps trim and latches interchangeable across the property.
17) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever alternative to the Emtek Tribeca passage set?
The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca is a non-electronic, non-keyed mechanical passage set. If you need code-controlled access on the same door, 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, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock at Grade 2.
18) If I like the Emtek Tribeca look but need the door to lock with a key, what do I order?
The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca passage set is non-keyed by design. For a keyed decorative lever, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead are entry levers for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Deltana 5851 Claremont is also an entry lever. 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.
19) Will a Kwikset 200DL passage lever fit the same door prep as the Emtek Tribeca?
Both are tubular passage locks for interior doors. The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the 200DL-RCALFD version ships with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The prep is comparable, but the trim diameter and rose profile differ, so check the existing rose footprint before swapping.
20) What is the highest grade passage lever available if the Emtek Tribeca is too light for the opening?
Grade 1 passage levers include the Dexter C1000 Series passage cylindrical lever with a clutching, non-keyed mechanism for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon T101 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, and the Design Hardware X75 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek SELECT Brass T-Bar Tribeca is a residential brass lever with a tubular lock mechanism.
21) Does the Tribeca lever match other Emtek levers already on my doors?
Within the SELECT Series it mixes freely: the Tribeca handle sits on a T-Bar stem and can be ordered with any brass rosette in the program, in the same seven finishes. That is how you keep a whole house consistent while running passage sets on closets and privacy or entry sets elsewhere on the same rosette and finish.
