Emtek S100-02.DD.RH.SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Dresden passage leverset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Dresden passage set drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the latch covers either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Backset is a required selection when ordering, so pick the one that matches the hole already drilled in the door. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
2) Do I need to specify handing on an Emtek Dresden passage leverset?
Yes, left hand or right hand is a selection on every Dresden passage set, including both the standard latch and the concealed fastener version. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's left hand. Getting it wrong means the lever points the wrong way.
3) What is the closest decorative-brand alternative to the Emtek Dresden passage lever?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the nearest decorative equivalent - same passage/hall/closet function in a designer residential lever, and Baldwin offers the same 5103 lever in privacy and in left and right hand half dummy so the whole door group can be matched. The Emtek Dresden passage set covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and can be ordered with any stainless steel rosette in disk (02) or square (03).
4) Will the Emtek Dresden passage lever work on a 2 inch thick door, and what should I use if not?
The Emtek Dresden passage set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the concealed fastener mechanism is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch unless a thicker door is specified at order. If the opening is thicker, passage levers with published ranges reaching 2 inches include Hager 2510, a Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and Arrow GL01, a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock with the Sierra lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Falcon K101 reaches 2-1/4 inch.
5) The Emtek Dresden passage leverset is residential-rated. What is a Grade 1 passage lever to use on a commercial opening instead?
The Emtek Dresden lever in passage function is a residential tubular leverset. For a commercial opening needing an ANSI Grade 1 passage lever, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Dexter C1000 passage lever is also Grade 1, with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range and clutching, non-keyed operation. Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
6) I need a matching lever on a door that does not latch. Is there a dummy version, or a different product?
The Emtek Dresden set is a passage lock supplied complete with latch and strike plate, so it always operates a latchbolt. For a fixed, non-latching application such as an inactive French door or a closet slab, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is offered in left hand and right hand, and Accentra's 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. BEST lists dummy trim in both grades - 9K Series 1DT is Grade 1 heavy duty and 7KC Series 1DT is Grade 2 medium duty.
7) The Emtek Dresden passage set is non-keyed. What do I order for the same opening if it needs to lock?
The Dresden passage set is non-keyed with a passage function, so it latches but never locks. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn, Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a keyed entrance opening, Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with lever handle in the same door thickness range, and Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset.
8) What is the CF (concealed fastener) option on the Emtek Dresden lever, and is it worth it?
With the CF mechanism the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from both sides. The tradeoff is thickness: CF is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and anything thicker has to be called out when ordering. CF leversets ship with a 28 degree rotation latch and a dust box. The standard latch version uses visible rosette screws.
9) What else looks like the Emtek Dresden passage lever if I want a different style at the same function?
Same passage function, different design language: the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is the closest decorative-residential peer. If you want a square rose look from another brand, the Bravura Tampa passage leverset with square trim is a Grade 2 option. The Dresden's own square option is the Square (03) rosette.
10) Will the Emtek Dresden passage latch work in my existing strike plate?
The set includes its own strike, and the latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in the jamb. If you're replacing a lock in an existing door, match the faceplate corner style and the backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4) and you can reuse the existing prep.
11) What is a lower-cost basic passage lever if the Emtek Dresden stainless steel set is more than the job needs?
For a builder-grade interior hall or closet door, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 passage set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Emtek Dresden passage set covers. Kwikset also lists the 200DL Delta passage lever, including a version supplied with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. What you give up is the Emtek's stainless steel construction and the optional concealed fastener rosette with no exposed screws.
12) For a multi-family corridor or apartment interior, which passage lever holds up better than the Emtek Dresden?
The Emtek Dresden is a residential tubular leverset. For higher traffic, Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lever with pressure release technology and Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design. Design Hardware offers the same passage function at two levels with a flat lever - the X75 is Grade 1 and the J75 is Grade 2, both for 1-3/4 inch doors. Accentra's 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet lever in the 5300 Series.
13) What is the difference between the Emtek Dresden passage lever and a keyless pushbutton lever like the Lockey 2835?
The Emtek Dresden passage set is a non-electronic, non-keyed lever that latches only and is ordered by handing with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the 2835DC adds a double combination. Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, with the 1150S offering an adjustable backset. Those add code-based access; the Dresden does not control access at all.
14) Is the Accentra 4601LN a direct substitute for the Emtek Dresden passage lever?
Functionally they serve the same opening - the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series, and the Emtek Dresden is a passage/hall/closet tubular leverset. They differ in intent: the Emtek is a residential stainless steel decorative set ordered by handing with a choice of disk or square rosette and an optional concealed fastener mechanism, while the 4601LN is a commercial graded lever. Accentra also lists the 5301LN Augusta at Grade 2 in the 5300 Series if a different series is specified on the drawing.
15) Is the Emtek Dresden lever solid stainless steel?
The Dresden lever and rosettes are from Emtek's Stainless Steel collection, so the visible trim is stainless. Emtek lists the latch material as brass. The look is contemporary rather than traditional.
16) Can I mix the Dresden lever with a knob on the other side of the door?
Emtek allows knob-by-lever combinations, and that is the one CF configuration where handing has to be called out specifically. Note the latches differ: leversets ship with the 28 degree rotation latch, knobsets with the standard latch, both with a dust box on CF.
17) I want a square rosette passage lever. How does the Emtek Dresden compare to other square-trim options?
The Emtek Dresden passage set is offered with a square (03) stainless steel rosette as well as a disk (02) rosette, in a contemporary style, and can be ordered with any stainless steel rosette. If a square-trim commodity lever suits the job better, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim; Bravura's round-trim passage levers include the Atlanta, the Orlando, and the Miramar in US4 satin brass, all Grade 2.
