Emtek 7201.L.RH.FBS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Lafayette privacy lever fit my existing 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Lafayette privacy leverset drops into standard door prep, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Backset is a required selection when ordering, so pick the one that matches the hole already in the door. One exception on prep: if you choose the STRETTO rosette, that version needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Lafayette lever work on?
The Lafayette privacy set is listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick in its specifications, and the product notes cover doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch with standard bored prep. Door thickness is an entry field on the order, so state your actual thickness when you order and Emtek supplies the correct spindle and screw lengths. Standard commercial and most residential doors at 1-3/4 inch are covered either way.
3) Is the Emtek Lafayette lever handed, and how do I tell left from right?
Yes, it is handed. The Lafayette lever is ordered as Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), so the lever throw matches the swing of the door. Stand on the outside of the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door, hinges on the right is right hand. Order the wrong hand and the lever points the wrong way.
4) Is the Emtek Lafayette privacy lever suitable for a commercial corridor or apartment turnover?
It is a residential-duty tubular lockset with a privacy bed and bath function, not a commercial cylindrical lock. For a high-traffic commercial opening, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lever is the right call. Arrow's MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock, and Hager's 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Use the Lafayette where the look matters, on bedrooms and baths in homes, multi-family units and hospitality rooms.
5) I need a simpler privacy lever for a rental unit bathroom instead of the Emtek Lafayette. What else works?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton Privacy Lever Set is a straightforward alternative, rated Grade 3 with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek Lafayette is a residential tubular privacy lever that fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and is ordered by handing and rosette style.
6) The Emtek Lafayette privacy set is residential. What should I specify for a commercial bathroom door instead?
For a commercial opening, look at the Hager 2540 Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, which covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, or the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock, which carries a fire rating and uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. The Emtek Lafayette is designated residential and is not graded for commercial traffic.
7) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek Lafayette privacy lever fit, or do I need something else?
The Lafayette privacy set lists a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch in its specifications. For a 2 inch door, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Note those are passage and asylum functions, not privacy.
8) Does the Emtek Lafayette privacy set include the latch and strike, or do I buy those separately?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. Levers for both sides, the rosettes you select, latch and strike are all in the box. The latch faceplate is available in round or square corner, so you can match whatever is mortised into the edge of an existing door.
9) What is the 28 Degree Rotation Latch option on the Emtek Lafayette lever, and should I choose it?
The Latch28 option is a latch that retracts with only 28 degrees of lever rotation instead of the longer standard sweep, so the door opens with a shorter, lighter movement of the hand. It comes with the CF mechanism selection. If you want the conventional feel, take the Standard Latch. Both are offered with any of the three rosette choices and both finishes.
10) What finishes and rosettes come on the Emtek Wrought Steel Lafayette lever?
Two finishes, Flat Black Steel (FBS) and Satin Steel (SWS), and three rosette styles, #1, #2 and #3. Any Wrought Steel rosette can be paired with the Lafayette lever, which is how you get the trim to match knobs and levers already hung on other openings in the same house or building.
11) Does the Emtek Lafayette privacy lever take a key?
No key and no cylinder. It is a non-keyed privacy function, locked from the inside by a thumbturn or button and released from the outside in an emergency, which is what you want on a bedroom or bathroom. If you need a keyed opening in the same style, you need a keyed entry or passage version rather than this privacy set.
12) What is another privacy lever option if I want a different look than Emtek Wrought Steel?
For a more traditional forged brass look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is a privacy-function alternative. On a tighter budget for a rental bedroom or bath, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Wrought Steel Lafayette is the one to pick when the rustic steel finish is the point, in Flat Black Steel or Satin Steel.
13) What is the difference between the Emtek Lafayette privacy lever and a passage lever like the Baldwin 5103 Passage?
The Emtek Lafayette privacy set has a privacy/bed/bath function with a thumbturn for locking from the inside, suited to bedrooms and bathrooms. The Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is passage/hall/closet function and does not lock at all, so it belongs on a hall or closet door. Ordering passage where privacy was specified leaves the bathroom unlockable.
14) Can I use a dummy lever on the inactive leaf and match the Emtek Lafayette privacy set?
A dummy lever has no latch and is surface mounted for pull-only leaves. Matching choices in that function include the Baldwin Estate 5103 Left Hand Half Dummy and the 5103 Right Hand Half Dummy, both with the 5048 rose. The Emtek Lafayette privacy set is a complete latching set and includes a latch and strike plate, so it is not interchangeable with a dummy.
15) Is a keypad lever like the Lockey 2835 a substitute for the Emtek Lafayette privacy set?
No. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function covering a 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch door thickness, so it controls entry by code rather than providing bed and bath privacy. The Emtek Lafayette is non-keyed, non-electronic, and privacy function with an inside thumbturn.
16) Which alternative privacy lever is non-handed if I do not want to specify left or right hand?
The Emtek Lafayette Wrought Steel privacy set is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand. If you want to avoid handing entirely, the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set are cataloged as single privacy models without a handing selection. Confirm the swing before ordering the Emtek so the lever throw matches the door.
17) Can I order the Lafayette lever in a passage or dummy version for a closet door?
The Lafayette privacy set is the bed and bath function only, with a thumbturn lock. For a closet or hall door you want a passage function instead, which latches but does not lock. Comparable non-locking levers include the Bravura Atlanta passage leverset and the Callan Asheville passage lever, both Grade 2 and Grade 3 respectively, or a Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever if you want the same upscale trim feel.
18) What is the Emtek Lafayette lever actually made of?
The lever and rosette are Wrought Steel, cast and finished in Flat Black Steel or Satin Steel, which is where the rustic look comes from. The lockset specifications list brass in the mechanism. Steel trim holds a flat black finish well on interior doors, which is why it shows up on farmhouse and rustic packages.
