EMTEK Brunswick Lever with Maguire Rosette - Passage/Privacy Set

The EMTEK Brunswick Lever with Maguire Rosette combines Grade 3 security certification with adjustable backset flexibility (2-3/8” or 2-3/4”) and universal handing that fits both left and right-hand doors. For Montana contractors dealing with retrofit projects and varying door conditions, this hardware solves the inventory headache — one SKU works for multiple applications.

This lever set works best for residential contractors who need reliable interior hardware that won’t require callbacks. The 4-1/4” lever length and 2-5/8” projection provide comfortable operation, while the 2-1/2” rosette diameter offers standard proportions that look right on most interior doors.

Installation Flexibility and Real-World Compatibility

The adjustable backset feature lets contractors switch between 2-3/8” and 2-3/4” configurations — critical when dealing with older Montana homes where door prep varies room to room. The universal handing eliminates the guesswork of ordering left versus right-hand sets.

Specification	Value
Face Bore	2-1/8”
Edge Bore	1”
Backset Options	Adjustable 2-3/8” or 2-3/4”
Door Thickness	1-3/8” to 1-3/4” (Standard)

The installation ranks as DIY-friendly since it fits standard pre-drilled door holes. The included hardware package contains the lever set, adjustable latch, strike plate, dust box, mounting screws, and spindle — everything needed for a complete installation.

Grade 3 Performance and Function Options

This hardware meets Grade 3 standards for residential value and security — the appropriate rating for interior residential doors where heavy commercial abuse isn’t expected. EMTEK positions this as part of the Yale Expressions value-focused brand, targeting budget-conscious projects without sacrificing basic quality.

The function options cover standard residential needs:

Passage Function: Unlocked from both sides with the lever operating the latchbolt at all times. Common applications include hallways, closets, laundry rooms, and pantries.

Privacy Function: Features a lockable turn-button from the interior side with exterior emergency release access. Standard for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Additional functions available in the line include dummy trim for decorative applications on inactive door panels and keyed entry versions that lock via key from outside and turn-button from inside.

Montana-Specific Considerations

The ADA compliant lever design suits Montana’s aging-in-place construction trend, where lever handles provide easier operation than traditional knobs for residents with arthritis or limited grip strength. The 1-5/8” clearance measurement ensures adequate knuckle room even when wearing winter gloves — a small but appreciated detail during Montana’s long cold season.

The warranty coverage includes a Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty with a 5-Year Finish Warranty on standard finishes. ‘Living’ finishes that develop patina over time are excluded from the finish warranty.

Bottom Line

The EMTEK Brunswick Lever delivers what Montana contractors need most — flexibility and reliability. The adjustable backset and universal handing reduce inventory requirements, while Grade 3 certification ensures adequate performance for typical residential applications. Not the fanciest hardware on the market, but it gets the job done without callbacks.
