Setup and Installation

Determining Door Handing

Correctly determining door handing is crucial for proper installation of your Emtek privacy set. Door hardware handing differs from standard carpentry handing. Following the diagram below will help prevent incorrect installation.

Image: A diagram showing four door configurations: In-swing Left (LH), In-swing Right (RH), Out-swing Left (LH), and Out-swing Right (RH). Each configuration shows a person's perspective from the 'outside' of the door, indicating the direction of door swing and the corresponding handing (Left or Right).

How to Determine Handing:

Door handing is always determined from the outside of the door. The 'outside' is defined as follows:

• The outside of an exterior door is the street or entrance side.
• The outside of a room door is the hall side.
• The outside of a closet door is the room or hall side.
• The outside of a single communicating door is the side from which the hinges are not visible when the door is closed.

Pre-Installation Requirements

• Ensure your door has a standard 2-1/8" door preparation.
• The standard latch is designed for a 2-3/8" backset. If a 2-3/4" backset is required, ensure you have the correct latch component.
• The complete set includes a standard rotation latch and strike plate.
• This product is designed for easy installation.

Refer to the detailed installation guide included in your product packaging for step-by-step instructions specific to your door type and handing.

Operating Instructions

The Emtek Disk Rosette Privacy Set features a Basel lever for easy door opening and a privacy locking mechanism. This privacy function is typically engaged from the interior side of the door.

• To Open: Depress the Basel lever handle downwards to retract the latch bolt and open the door.
• To Lock (Privacy Function): From the interior side of the door, locate the privacy pin or turn-button on the rosette. Engage this mechanism to lock the door. The exterior lever will remain operable but will not retract the latch bolt when locked.
• To Unlock: From the interior, disengage the privacy pin or turn-button. From the exterior, an emergency release tool (often a small pin or flat tool) can be inserted into the small hole on the exterior rosette to unlock the door in case of emergency.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Emtek door hardware, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishing agents, as these can damage the oil rubbed bronze finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the latch mechanism and moving parts to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and grime.
• Tightening: Check mounting screws periodically and tighten if necessary to prevent wobbling or looseness. Do not overtighten.

Troubleshooting

• Lever is loose or wobbly: Check and tighten all mounting screws. Ensure the spindle is correctly engaged with both levers.
• Latch bolt does not retract smoothly: Apply silicone lubricant to the latch mechanism. Check for any obstructions in the door frame or strike plate. Ensure the latch is correctly aligned with the strike plate.
• Privacy lock does not engage or disengage: Verify that the privacy mechanism components are correctly aligned and installed according to the detailed installation guide. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
• Door does not close properly: Check the alignment of the strike plate with the latch bolt. Adjust the strike plate if necessary. Ensure door hinges are properly aligned.
