Customizable Brass Modern Narrow Backset Privacy Set

As a solution for doors with narrow stiles, we are offering customizable Brass Modern privacy sets with 1-3/4" and 1-3/8" backsets. We combine this Emtek trim with robust, stainless steel mortise locks, privacy euro cylinders, and suitable strikeplates.

The privacy function features a thumbturn on the inside and an emergency coin release on the outside. The privacy function is most commonly used for bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices.

Shown is a 1-1/2" wide x 11" tall Modern backplate with a Helios lever in the Oil-Rubbed Bronze finish.

Please note, the Polished Brass, Unlacquered finish is unprotected and is designed to tarnish naturally.

These mortise locks are salt spray tested and can be used in coastal environments. The mortise locks have a stainless steel faceplate on the edge of the door. This stainless steel strip will be concealed when the door is closed.

The strikeplates are available in Polished Brass, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Stainless Steel, and Black. We will provide a strikeplate that most closely matches the finish of the trim.

View the diagrams to see what the measurements are like on example doors. Please consider the width of your door stop or astragal to make sure it will not overlap with the 1-1/2" wide trim. We have also included a diagram to help you determine handing and if your door is in-swing or out-swing. The exterior is the hallway side for a room, or the room side for an ensuite bathroom.

1-3/4" backset mortise locks require a mortise depth of 2.48", while 1-3/8" backset mortise locks require a 2.09" mortise depth.
