Emtek 3018-RH-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 3018 Adelaide handleset actually lock, or is it just a pull?
The Adelaide 3018 is a dummy handleset. It has no latch, no bolt and no cylinder, so it neither latches nor locks. It mounts as a fixed pull and inside trim, which is what you want on the inactive leaf of a double door or on a door held closed by a roller catch or ball catch. If the opening needs to latch or key, you need the keyed entrance version of the mortise handleset instead.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an Emtek Adelaide mortise handleset?
Yes, handing has to be called out. The Adelaide 3018 is ordered left hand or right hand, and Emtek requires handing on all of its mortise handlesets. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, on your right it is right hand. Get it wrong and the lever or thumbpiece geometry ends up upside down on the door.
3) What door prep and backset does the Adelaide mortise handleset need?
It uses a standard mortise pocket per ANSI A115.1, with a backset of 2-1/2 or 2-3/4 inches. If your door is already mortise prepped to A115.1 from a previous mortise lock, the Adelaide drops into that pocket. A door bored for a tubular handleset will not take it, that prep needs to be routed for a mortise case.
4) Can I use a tubular handleset instead of the Emtek 3018 Adelaide?
Not in the same door prep. The 3018 Adelaide is a mortise lock set cut to standard mortise ANSI A115.1 prep with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and handing specified left or right. Tubular sets such as the Sure-Loc Alta AT507 Tubular Handleset with adjustable backset, or the Sure-Loc Coral CR507 and Madison MA507 handlesets with adjustable backset, use bored cylindrical prep instead, so swapping between them means changing the door machining.
5) What is another dummy handleset if the Emtek 3018 Adelaide is not the look I want?
The Emtek 3018 Adelaide is a dummy-function handleset, so the two other dummy handlesets to look at are the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob, in the Elegance Series with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever, in the Premiere Essentials Series with the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. Both are non-operating trim sets like the 3018, which is a mortise-prep set for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard.
6) I need a keyed entry handleset, not a dummy - what should I order instead?
The Emtek 3018 Adelaide is non-keyed dummy trim, so for an opening that has to lock you need a keyed set. Options include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever, a Grade 2 F Series set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob, a single cylinder set for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; and the Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry handleset with adjustable backset.
7) Is there a handleset that fits a door thicker or thinner than 1-3/4 inches?
The Emtek 3018 Adelaide is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, with thicker doors specified at order. If you want a set whose published range covers other thicknesses, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset lists 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale lists 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
8) What is the closest mortise alternative to the Emtek 3018 Adelaide?
If you want to stay in mortise prep, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the peer to look at. It comes as the 6542ENTR single cylinder version and the 6542DBLC double cylinder version, both entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 3018 Adelaide differs in that it is dummy trim rather than an operating entrance set, and its inside trim is chosen from Emtek brass knobs and levers.
9) Do I get to pick the inside knob or lever on the Emtek Adelaide handleset?
You choose the interior trim from Emtek's full brass knob and lever range when you order, and the set ships complete with the exterior handle and the inside trim together. Options run from contemporary levers like Stuttgart and Helios, through traditional levers such as Cortina, Milano and Turino, knobs including Egg, Providence and Octagon, and crystal knobs like Windsor and Georgetown. Picking the interior trim is a required selection, not an add-on.
10) I need the same look but on a door that locks. What pairs with an Adelaide dummy?
For the active leaf, a keyed mortise entry trim such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont, offered in single cylinder and double cylinder and built for 1-3/4 inch doors, keeps you in mortise prep. If the active door is tubular prepped instead, the Schlage F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Run the Adelaide dummy on the inactive leaf alongside whichever you choose.
11) What solid brass handlesets compare to the Emtek 3018 Adelaide?
The Emtek 3018 Adelaide is a brass-substrate handleset in the Emtek Brass collection, offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Satin Brass US4. Other solid brass handlesets include the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann and the Deltana 825871 Kingston, all entry function, so those give you an operating latch where the Adelaide is dummy trim.
12) I want keyless electronic entry on the main door - what replaces a dummy mortise handleset?
The Emtek 3018 Adelaide is a non-electronic dummy set, so for keyless entry look at the Yale Real Living Assure handleset packages: BYRD226NRRX is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the same thickness range, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever with a contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. These are deadbolt-based sets rather than mortise prep.
13) Is a non-keyed Schlage JE285 handleset the same thing as the Emtek 3018 dummy?
No. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entrance-function set, Grade 2 in the J Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the latch still operates without a key. The Emtek 3018 Adelaide is dummy trim with no latching mechanism at all, used on an inactive or fixed leaf, and it is machined for standard mortise prep.
14) Is there a graded handleset option if my spec calls for an ANSI grade?
The Emtek 3018 Adelaide is a residential brass mortise dummy set with a UL 180 minute fire rating. If the drawing calls out an ANSI grade instead, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series is Grade 2, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview and 687AMD Amador single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) I need the exterior plate only to match an existing keyway - what are my options?
The Emtek 3018 Adelaide ships as a complete set with inside knob or lever trim and a Schlage C keyway. If you only need exterior trim, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador is sold exterior only in two keying versions - 687AMD SMT with SmartKey and 687AMD SMC with the SC1 keyway and SmartKey - both Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors, as is the Kwikset 687BW Belleview exterior-only set.
16) What should I use on a door that needs a separate deadbolt above the handle instead of one mortise case?
The Emtek 3018 Adelaide works from a single standard mortise pocket cut to ANSI A115.1. If the door is prepped for a bored lock plus a separate deadbolt, look at interconnected or deadbolt-style sets such as the Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2 in the JI Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset.
17) Is there an install document for the Emtek mortise handleset?
Yes. Emtek publishes F20 mortise lock installation instructions plus a technical specification sheet covering brass UL mortise entrance handleset dimensions and door thickness. Both are available with the product, and the dimension sheet is the one to pull before you cut a door or order for a non-standard thickness.
18) Does a Baldwin Wesley handleset substitute for the Emtek 3018 Adelaide?
They serve different openings. The Baldwin Wesley handleset is an entrance-function set, offered paired with an Alcott knob or a Carnaby knob as the interior trim. The Emtek 3018 Adelaide is dummy trim - no latch or keyed function - and its interior knob or lever is selected from the Emtek brass range, with handing specified left or right because it is built on mortise prep.
