Emtek 3040-RH-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 3040 handleset?
Yes, and it isn't optional. Emtek requires handing on all its mortise sets, and the 3040 is ordered as either LH or RH. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's left hand, on the right it's right hand. Order the wrong hand and the thumbpiece and lever pitch sit backward on the door.
2) Do I need to pick an interior knob or lever separately with the Emtek 3040?
The inside trim is a required selection, and it ships as a complete set once chosen. You pick from 25 Sandcast Bronze styles: levers include Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton and Yuma; knobs include Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town and Providence. Nothing else has to be ordered to complete the set.
3) What door thickness does the Emtek 3040 mortise handleset fit?
It is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, which is the usual thickness for an exterior entry door. Thicker doors can be accommodated but the thickness has to be called out on the order, which is why there's a door thickness entry field with the set.
4) What backset and door prep does the Emtek 3040 need?
Standard mortise prep to ANSI A115.1, with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. If your door is already pocketed for a standard mortise lock, it drops into that prep. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing spindle hole to confirm which backset you need.
5) What is another dummy handleset if the Emtek 3040 is not the right look for an inactive door?
The Emtek 3040 Rustic Modern Rectangular is a dummy-function handleset in sandcast bronze. Two other dummy handlesets are the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob, from the Elegance Series, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever, from the Premiere Essentials Series. Both Weslock sets list a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, while the Emtek 3040 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard with thicker doors specified at order. The Emtek also takes a handing call, left or right, and accepts any sandcast bronze knob or lever for the inside trim.
6) I need a keyed entry handleset instead of a dummy for the same door. What should I look at?
The Emtek 3040 is non-keyed dummy trim, so it has no cylinder and no latching. For a keyed opening, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim stays with mortise prep and lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and a double cylinder version is offered as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim. If the door is prepped tubular rather than mortise, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 F Series set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) I need the active leaf to lock and the other to be a dummy. Can I match the Emtek 3040 across both?
Yes, that's exactly what the dummy version is for. Run the keyed mortise entrance set of the same Rustic Modern Rectangular style on the active leaf, and the 3040 dummy on the inactive one, in the same finish and with the same inside knob or lever. The two read identically on the door, but only one is prepped and cylinder-driven.
8) Is the Emtek 3040 handleset rated for a commercial building?
Emtek lists the 3040 Sandcast Bronze set as residential. It's aimed at homes and high-end residential entries rather than a commercial opening with heavy traffic. For a commercial spec you'd be looking at a Grade 1 mortise lock rather than this set.
9) What is a good alternative to the Emtek 3040 if I want a dummy handleset that isn't sandcast bronze?
Two we carry: the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob, both listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Both are dummy function like the Emtek, but they're tubular-style sets rather than mortise trim, so they don't need the ANSI A115.1 mortise pocket the Emtek is built around.
10) Is the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont a drop-in replacement for the Emtek 3040?
Not as a like-for-like swap. Both are mortise-style entrance handleset trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, but the Emtek 3040 is a dummy with no cylinder, while the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is an entrance function in either single or double cylinder. Swapping to the Baldwin means the door needs to be a working, latching opening rather than a fixed or inactive leaf. The Emtek 3040 also uses a Schlage C keyway when ordered in keyed versions of the series and requires a handing call.
11) What handleset should I use if my door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Emtek 3040 is built to 1-3/4 inch as standard and a thicker door thickness can be specified at the time of order. If you would rather buy a set that publishes a wider range out of the box, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch in a single cylinder function, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock Standalone Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note both are latching or keyed sets rather than dummy trim.
12) Is there a simpler handleset than the Emtek 3040 that does not need handing specified?
The Emtek 3040 is a mortise set, and handing is required on all mortise locks, so left or right has to be called out on the order. Tubular handlesets avoid that step: the Sure-Loc Alta Tubular Handleset and the Sure-Loc Coral Handleset both ship with an adjustable backset, as do the Sure-Loc Aspen and Madison keyed entry handlesets. These use tubular door prep rather than the standard mortise ANSI A115.1 prep the Emtek 3040 requires.
13) Can I use an electronic handleset in place of the Emtek 3040?
Only on a working door. The Emtek 3040 is non-electronic dummy trim with no latch or cylinder. Electronic alternatives include the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset with Halifax Lever and Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, a Signature Series set for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock Wi-Fi Bluetooth Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both pair a handleset with a deadbolt, which a dummy opening has no prep for.
14) I want a non-keyed handleset that still latches, not a dummy. What fits?
The Emtek 3040 is dummy trim, which is fixed and does not latch. If you need a non-keyed set that still operates a latch, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a Grade 2 J Series handleset in a non-keyed entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a passage-function interconnected option, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino Lever is Grade 2 and covers the same thickness range.
15) Does the Emtek 3040 carry an ANSI grade like the Master Lock or Kwikset handlesets?
The Emtek 3040 is a residential mortise handleset in dummy function, and it carries a UL 180 minute fire rating with standard mortise ANSI A115.1 door prep. If a graded set is what the spec calls for, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D Single Cylinder Deadbolt Handleset from the HDLB Series is Grade 2, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview is Grade 3. Those are all entrance function rather than dummy.
16) What finishes does the Emtek 3040 Sandcast Bronze handleset come in?
Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are solid bronze sandcast, so the finish is in the metal rather than plated over a different substrate, and each will develop its own patina over time. Pick the same finish across the openings if you're matching a run of doors.
17) If I switch to the keyed version of this Emtek mortise handleset, what keyway will it take?
Emtek's mortise entrance handlesets in this family use the Schlage C keyway, which makes it straightforward to key the entry alike with other Schlage C cylinders in the house. The 3040 itself is the dummy, so it carries no cylinder at all.
18) What is the difference between the Emtek 3040 and a Kwikset 687 Amador exterior-only handleset?
The Kwikset 687AMD Amador Single Cylinder Handleset is a Grade 3 keyed entrance trim for 1-3/4 inch doors and is sold exterior only, offered with SmartKey and in an SC1 keyway version. The Emtek 3040 is a non-keyed dummy set sold as a complete set, in sandcast bronze, with the inside knob or lever chosen from the sandcast bronze range. So the Kwikset covers only the outside of a keyed opening, while the Emtek supplies both sides of a non-latching door.
19) What solid brass handlesets compare with the Emtek 3040 sandcast bronze?
The Emtek 3040 is bronze, from the Sandcast Bronze collection, in a rectangular rustic modern shape. In solid brass, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston entry handlesets, and the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Deltana sets are entry function, so they latch and take a cylinder, where the Emtek 3040 is fixed dummy trim.
20) Are the Baldwin Wesley handlesets an alternative to the Emtek 3040?
They serve a different opening. The Baldwin Wesley Handleset is an entrance function set, offered with an Alcott knob or a Carnaby knob as interior trim. The Emtek 3040 is a dummy handleset, so it is for a fixed or inactive leaf and has no latch. Where the two are alike is the trim pairing approach: the Emtek 3040 can be ordered with any sandcast bronze knob or lever for the inside, from Butte and Winchester knobs to Durango and Teton levers.
