Emtek 5115US19.KLSUS10B.SMUS10B.LH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek SELECT L-Square key-in lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or is it only for 1-3/4?
Fits doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, with 1-3/4 being what ships standard. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4, that has to be called out on the order so the correct spindle and screw pack comes with it. The cross bore is the usual 2-1/8 inch, so a door already bored for a standard tubular lockset takes it without new prep.
2) Which backset do I order for an Emtek key-in lever, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Both are offered and backset is a required selection. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore: residential doors are usually 2-3/8 inches, which is what ships standard here, while 2-3/4 is common on wider stile or commercial-prep doors and has to be specified.
3) Can the Emtek SELECT key-in lever be keyed into my existing Weiser or Kwikset system?
Yes, if you order the Weiser (WR5) cylinder. Standard build is a Schlage C keyway; the WR5 substitution is made by adding a W to the front of the product code and carries no upcharge, and it keys into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike and keyed different are both available, and you can supply an existing key code to key it to a system you already run.
4) Can I key several Emtek SELECT entry levers alike so one key runs the whole house?
Yes. Keyed alike is a selectable option at no charge, so multiple sets ordered together can run on one key. If you already have a system on the property, you can give the existing key code and have them cut to it, in Schlage C standard or in Weiser WR5 if that is what the property is keyed to.
5) Will an Emtek key-in lever drop into the holes left by my old Kwikset or Schlage knob?
If the old lock was a standard tubular bore, yes. The prep it needs is a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is what nearly every residential knob or lever already in a door was set for. Match the backset of the existing latch when you order and the new latch goes into the same edge bore. Check the door thickness too, since the range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
6) The Emtek SELECT L-Square is residential. What keyed lever should I use on a commercial door instead?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is a tubular bored lockset flagged residential. For a commercial opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 with a clutching keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are cylindrical locks built to an ANSI grade; the Emtek is a brass residential leverset offered in eight finishes.
7) What is a keyed entry lever with a Schlage C keyway that fits a 1-3/8 inch door if the Emtek SELECT L-Square is not the right look?
The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is also a single cylinder entry lever on the Schlage keyway, with a Weiser WR5 keyway offered as a substitution and a brass body in eight finishes. The Cal-Royal is a commercial-style entrance lever; the Emtek is a residential brass leverset with a choice of Square, Disk, or Modern Rectangular rosette.
8) I need the same lever style on a closet door that does not need a key. What matches the Emtek SELECT L-Square?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is a single cylinder entry function, so it always carries a cylinder. For a non-keyed opening, the Bravura Tampa with square trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim that echoes a square rosette, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is a passage-function lever in the same brass-hardware vein. Neither takes a key.
9) What keyed lever can I put on a storeroom or classroom door in the same building as the Emtek SELECT L-Square?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is an entry function, which leaves the lever unlocked from the inside and is not a storeroom or classroom lock. For those openings, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever. The AG03 shares the Schlage C keyway the Emtek is supplied on, so it can sit in the same key system.
10) What comes in the box with the Emtek SELECT lever set, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
The set is complete: lever trim on both sides, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to source for a standard install. What you do choose is the backset, the handing, the finish, the rosette shape and the keyway.
11) Is the Emtek SELECT lever an entry lock that locks from the inside without a key?
It is an entry function, single cylinder lock. Key on the outside, thumbturn or button on the inside, so nobody inside needs a key to secure the door. There is no keyed cylinder on the interior side.
12) Which rosette should I pick for the Emtek SELECT L-Square lever, and can I mix finishes?
Three rosettes back the L-Square smooth lever: Square, Disk, and Modern Rectangular. Square and Modern Rectangular carry the angular contemporary look through; Disk softens it and reads closer to a traditional round rose if the rest of the door hardware is round. A split finish is available as an option if you want the outside face to match the exterior scheme and the inside to match the room.
13) What finishes does the Emtek SELECT L-Square lever come in for matching the rest of my door hardware?
Eight: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Two of those move over time by design. Unlacquered brass has no clear coat and will patina with handling, and French Antique and Oil Rubbed Bronze are living finishes that wear at contact points. If you are matching a fleet of doors over several years, the plated finishes such as Satin Nickel and Polished Chrome stay put.
14) What else can I use if I need a decorative brass entry lever but not the Emtek SELECT square look?
Deltana's entry levers are the closest decorative alternatives we carry: the 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead are all entry function and cover 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so they reach thicker doors than the Emtek's 1-3/4 inch top end. The 5851 Claremont is also an entry lever. Those are shaped, traditional levers rather than the faceted square stem, so pick on the profile you want on the door.
15) I need matching passage and privacy levers for the bedrooms to go with a keyed Emtek entry lever. Can I get the same look?
The keyed L-Square is an entry function only, single cylinder. For bedroom and bath doors you want privacy function and for closets and halls passage function, in the same SELECT L-Square stem and matching rosette and finish, ordered as separate sets. Keep the finish code identical across the run (for example US15 Satin Nickel on all of them) so the doors read as one set.
16) Do I have to specify handing the way the Emtek SELECT L-Square requires, or is there a lever that avoids it?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever requires handing and is ordered left hand or right hand. Falcon builds non-handed levers: the B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lock with a non-handed design, and the K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both are passage function rather than keyed entry, so they suit interior doors where the handing call is the sticking point.
17) Is the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever a substitute for the Emtek SELECT L-Square Key In Lever?
No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is a privacy function lever, locked by a thumbturn for a bed or bath door. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is a single cylinder entry lever keyed on the Schlage C keyway. They are not interchangeable on an exterior or lockable entry door. Baldwin does offer the 5103 in passage and in left and right hand half dummy versions if a different function on the same trim is what you need.
18) Is there a keyless option instead of a keyed entry lever like the Emtek SELECT L-Square?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is a mechanical single cylinder lever operated by a key. If you would rather not issue keys, 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, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Emtek carries no electronics.
19) I need a fire rated lever on a rated opening. Can I use the Emtek SELECT L-Square there?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is a residential brass leverset. Where the comparable set states a fire rating, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever in passage/closet function for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, both carrying a fire rating. Both are passage function, so an opening that also needs a key calls for a different function in those lines.
20) Can I key an Emtek SELECT L-Square into a Yale or Accentra system with a Schlage cylinder?
The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is supplied on the Schlage C keyway, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available by adding W to the product code so it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. On the Accentra side, the 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, which is how a Schlage-keyed cylinder gets into that line. The Emtek itself takes its cylinder from the factory in the keyway you specify.
21) What is a simpler keyed entry lever than the Emtek SELECT L-Square for a rental unit?
The Kwikset and Master Lock options are the plainer keyed route: the Master Lock BC Series is a Grade 3 return style lever keyed entry lockset. For non-keyed doors in the same unit, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever and 300BRNL Breton privacy lever are Grade 3 and cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the trim across a unit. The Emtek SELECT L-Square Smooth Key In Lever is a solid brass single cylinder entry lever with a choice of three rosettes and eight finishes.
