Emtek 4212MUS7RH Milano Lever Melrose Handleset French Antique

Product Description

The EMTEK 4212MUS7RH is a right-hand single cylinder tubular handleset combining the Milano lever with the Melrose handleset body in a French Antique Brass finish. Designed for residential and light commercial entry doors, this unit ships ready to install with backset compatibility for both 2-3/8 inches and 2-3/4 inches door prep configurations. The single cylinder format accepts a standard keyed cylinder on the exterior while the interior operates with a thumb turn. Licensed locksmiths, carpenters, and general contractors are the typical trades that specify and install this hardware. The French Antique Brass finish delivers a warm, aged brass appearance suited to transitional and traditional door styles.

This handleset is intended for exterior entry door applications where a lever-style grip is preferred over a knob. The Milano lever paired with the Melrose escutcheon suits residential front entries and interior vestibule doors. Both standard backset dimensions are supported, making this unit compatible with most pre-drilled door slabs on the market. Custom assembly is performed at the manufacturer's facility, so each unit arrives as a matched set in the specified finish. Installation requires a standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inches bore hole and a 1 inch cross bore for the latch.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or licensed locksmith following the door manufacturer's prep specifications. Verify door hand orientation and backset measurement before installation. The existing door latch bore and cross bore should be cleared of debris before fitting the new latch assembly. Refer to local building codes for any requirements governing keyed entry hardware on egress doors.
