EMTEK Farmington Lever with Everly Rosette - Passage/Privacy Set

Solid brass lever and trim rose construction sets this door hardware apart from the hollow zinc alternatives flooding the market. EMTEK built the Farmington lever to handle Montana’s temperature extremes — 5-year finish warranty backs up the durability claim, and the limited lifetime mechanical warranty means they’ll stand behind the internals when they’re installed correctly.

The universally handed design saves contractors from stocking left and right versions. One SKU fits both swing directions. The adjustable 2-3/8” or 2-3/4” tubular latch handles both common backset measurements without ordering separate parts.

Installation Flexibility and Specifications

Installation complexity: Low (Easy to install for DIY or professional). Tools required: Screwdriver (Phillips). Steps overview: 1. Verify door thickness and backset. 2. Install adjustable latch. 3. Mount rosettes to door face. 4. Attach levers to spindle and rosettes.

The hardware fits 1-3/8” to 1-3/4” standard doors — the typical residential range. Standard 2-1/8” bore for lever/rose assembly means it drops into existing door prep without modification.
