Emtek S200-02.KL.RH.SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Kiel privacy leverset fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Kiel privacy leverset drops into a standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. One caveat that catches people out: if you take the Concealed Fastener (CF) mechanism, the range narrows to 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, so on anything thicker than 1-3/4 inch you need to state the door thickness when you order. There's a Door Thickness field on the order form for exactly that.
2) Is the Emtek Kiel lever handed, and how do I tell left hand from right hand?
Yes, the Kiel privacy leverset is ordered left hand or right hand. Stand on the outside of the door (the hallway side for a bed or bath): if the hinges are on your left it's left hand, hinges on your right it's right hand. Both handings are offered with either latch option and either rosette.
3) What comes in the box with the Emtek Kiel privacy leverset, or do I need to buy the latch separately?
It's a complete set. Two levers, the rosettes, the latch and the strike plate all ship together, so nothing else is needed to hang it on a prepped door. The leverset uses a 28 degree rotation latch, and the CF version also comes with a dust box for the strike side.
4) What does the CF concealed fastener upgrade on the Emtek Kiel lever actually change?
Two things. Visually, the rosettes have no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from both sides. Practically, it restricts the door thickness to 1-3/8 through 1-3/4 inch rather than the 2-1/4 inch top end of the standard mechanism, and you have to say so if your door is thicker. The standard latch version has visible rosette screws but takes the wider thickness range. If you're doing a run of bedroom and bath doors in a spec home, CF is the finish detail people notice; on a thicker slab door, take the standard mechanism.
5) Is the Emtek Kiel privacy lever keyed, and how does the bathroom lock work?
Non-keyed. It's a privacy function, so it locks from the inside with a thumbturn or pushbutton and has an emergency release on the outside rather than a cylinder. That's the right function for bedrooms and bathrooms. If you need a key on the outside, you want an entry or keyed function set instead, not this one.
6) Can I use the Emtek Kiel stainless leverset on a commercial office or a rated door?
No, this one is the wrong pick for commercial. The Kiel stainless leverset is a residential tubular lockset, not a graded commercial cylindrical lock. For a commercial privacy or bath opening you want a graded lockset instead, for example the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock or the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever, which is a Grade 2 lock listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. If the opening is high traffic, the Grade 1 Falcon K Series and Corbin Russwin CL3100 cylindrical locks are the heavier options.
7) What is a straight equivalent to the Emtek Kiel privacy leverset if I want the same bed and bath function from another brand?
The Kiel privacy leverset is a non-keyed tubular privacy/bed/bath lever. The closest same-function lever alternatives are the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose, which is also a privacy/bed/bath lever, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set, a Grade 3 privacy lever with a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Kiel itself fits doors from 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it covers thicker doors than the Breton before you need to specify anything special.
8) I need a graded commercial privacy lever for a restroom instead of a decorative residential one - what should I use?
The Emtek Kiel privacy leverset is a residential stainless steel lever. For a commercial restroom where a grade matters, the Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock fitting doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range. The Arrow uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so if ADA lever operation is part of your spec the Hager is the lever-trim choice of the two.
9) Which lever alternatives look like a substitute for a privacy set but will not actually lock the door?
Two families get ordered by mistake against a privacy opening. Dummy trim does not latch or lock at all - the Baldwin Estate 5103 left hand and right hand half dummy levers, the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC Series Grade 2 single dummy trim, and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever are all dummy function. Passage levers latch but have no thumbturn - the Falcon B101 Grade 2 and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 are both passage/closet. Only a privacy function gives the bed and bath thumbturn the Kiel provides.
10) Which rosette shapes does the Emtek Kiel lever come in?
Two: the Disk (02) round rosette and the Square (03) rosette. Both are available in either handing and with either the standard or CF mechanism. Any stainless steel rosette in the Emtek stainless collection can be ordered with the Kiel lever, so you can carry one rosette shape across knobs and levers in the same house.
11) What is a comparable privacy leverset to the Emtek Kiel if I want a different look?
On the decorative residential side, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the closest peer in character. For a budget bath door, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 option covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kiel differs from both in being a stainless steel contemporary design rather than a brass traditional one.
12) Does the Emtek Kiel latch use a round corner or square corner faceplate?
Both faceplate corner styles are offered, so the latch can match the mortise already cut in the door edge. If you're swapping a lockset out of an existing prep, look at the pocket the old latch sat in: a rounded pocket takes the round corner plate, a chiselled square pocket takes the square. Getting this right is the difference between dropping in and patching the door edge.
13) The door does not need to lock - what do I order instead of the Kiel privacy set?
Privacy is the bed and bath function with a thumbturn; for a hall or closet door that only needs to latch, a passage lever is the right part. Options include the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose, the Bravura Atlanta round trim Grade 2 passage leverset, the Bravura Tampa square trim Grade 2 passage leverset, and the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. The Bravura Tampa carries square trim if you are matching the square rosette look.
14) My door is 2 inches thick - the Kiel needs the thickness specified, so what else fits that opening out of the box?
The Emtek Kiel covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors on standard prep, but with the concealed fastener mechanism the range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches unless a thicker door is specified at order. If you want a lever whose published range already reaches 2 inches, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches, the Dexter C1000 asylum lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
15) The Kiel asks me to choose left or right hand - which comparable levers are non-handed so I do not have to survey every door?
The Kiel privacy leverset is ordered by handing, left hand or right hand. If you are buying for a run of doors and do not want to hand each one, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lock and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock are both non-handed lever designs, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. All three are passage rather than privacy, so confirm the function the opening actually needs.
16) I need a keyless lever on a bathroom or staff door instead of a thumbturn privacy set - what are the options?
The Emtek Kiel is a mechanical privacy set with no code entry. For keyless code operation on a lever, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant with passage function and fits 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination over the same door range, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock if you want battery-powered entry rather than mechanical pushbuttons.
17) What lever should I use on a corridor or classroom door in the same building where the bedrooms get the Kiel privacy set?
Privacy function is for bedrooms and baths only. For the graded openings elsewhere in the building, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt on 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 storeroom lock on 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 clutching and keyed. For classroom security lockdown from inside the room, the Dexter C1000 classroom security lever carries that function.
18) I need matching passage and dummy levers for the same hallway, does the Kiel come in other functions?
The Kiel privacy set covers bed and bath doors only. Emtek builds the Kiel lever in the stainless steel collection across functions, so the same lever and rosette pairing is what you match to for hall and closet doors. If you are mixing brands for the non-locking openings, the Baldwin Estate 5103 comes as a passage lever and as left and right hand half dummies with the same 5048 rose.
19) How does the Emtek Kiel compare to other contemporary residential levers if I want a square rosette look?
The Kiel is a contemporary stainless steel lever that can be ordered with a square (03) rosette or a disk (02) rosette. Among comparable residential-style leversets, the Bravura Tampa is the square trim option and is a Grade 2 passage leverset, while the Bravura Miramar in US4 satin brass, the Bravura Orlando, and the Bravura Atlanta all use round trim at Grade 2. Those Bravura sets are passage function, so pair them with the Kiel privacy set only where the opening does not need a thumbturn.
20) Is there a lower-grade or simpler lever I can use on interior doors that do not need the Emtek finish?
For interior openings where the decorative stainless finish is not the point, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever is Grade 3 for hall and closet doors on 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance and office lever with a solid brass forged body on 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the bedroom or bath still needs the thumbturn, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is the Grade 3 privacy version over the same door range.
