Emtek 3306 Manhattan Brass Mortise Entrance Handleset - Entry Set

Handing is required on the 3306 Manhattan, and it is not field-reversible the way a tubular set is. You pick LH, RH, LHR, or RHR, where the R versions are for an out-swing door. Get it wrong and the lever or knob throw is backwards on the wrong face of the door. Stand outside the opening: if the door swings away from you it is a reverse (LHR/RHR); if it swings toward you it is LH or RH depending on which side the hinges are.

The 3306 comes in 2-1/2 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, and the case is cut for standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1. If the door already carries an A115.1 pocket, measure from the door edge to the center of the existing cylinder hole to tell which backset you need, then order to match. A door prepped for a non-standard or proprietary mortise pocket is not a drop-in.

Both functions are offered on the 3306. F20 is the entrance function, which is the normal choice for a house or unit front door. F13 is the dormitory function, and it is what multi-family and student housing typically specify because the inside operation and the outside key behave differently for a lock that has to stay secure without anyone thinking about it. Either way it is a single cylinder set, so the inside is thumbturn operated, not keyed.

The 3306 ships on the Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing C-keyway system directly. Sets can be ordered keyed alike to each other, or keyed different, and there is a keying-to-code option if you already run a master or a code on your property. For a property manager standardizing several units, keyed alike plus your existing code is the way to keep one key working across the openings.

Mortise. The 3306 uses a single mortise lock case let into the edge of the door, not a bored handleset with a deadbolt above a knob. That matters for your prep: a door drilled for a tubular handleset has two bores in the face and no pocket in the edge, so it cannot take the 3306 without being re-prepped for standard mortise A115.1. Most of the tubular handlesets on the market, like the Schlage F60 Addison or the Kwikset 687 Amador, are the bored type; if your door is already prepped that way, one of those is the direct swap.

No. The 3306 Manhattan is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, with thicker doors specified on the order. A 1-3/8 inch leaf, which is common on older interior and lighter entry doors, is not what this set is cut for. For a thinner door, look at a handleset with a range that covers it, such as the Deltana 810871 Montego at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington at 1-3/8 to 1-3/4, or the Schlage F60 Addison at 1-3/8 to 1-3/4.

Two peers share the handleset appearance without the keyed function. The Weslock 6695 Belmont handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry unit in the J Series. The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is a keyed single cylinder set in F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function, so it operates a latch and takes a key. Dummy sets are surface-mounted pulls for an inactive leaf of a pair; ordering one against an active entry door leaves the opening with no latch at all.

The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is a mortise lock and requires the standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1, so it will not go into a door bored for a tubular lockset. For that opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset in the F Series that fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is a Grade 3 entrance unit for a 1-3/4 inch door. Both are deadbolt-and-knob-bore designs, so no mortise pocket has to be routed. Going the other direction, converting a bored door to accept the 3306 means routing a mortise pocket and drilling new trim holes.

No - they solve different problems. The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is a non-electronic keyed mortise entrance set with a Schlage C keyway and a UL 180 minute fire rating, single cylinder function. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock pairs a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset for a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door, and the BYRD226CBARX version adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Those are deadbolt-plus-gripset assemblies driven by a keypad, not mortise locks, so they need the bored deadbolt and handle prep rather than a mortise pocket. Choose the Yale units when keypad or app access is the requirement; choose the Emtek 3306 when the door has a mortise pocket and a mechanical keyed set is wanted.

The Emtek 3306 Manhattan uses the Schlage C keyway, which lets a locksmith key it into an existing Schlage C master or keyed-alike system directly. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador SMC single cylinder handleset uses the SC1 keyway with SmartKey, and the Kwikset 687AMD SMT and 687BW Belleview versions are SmartKey units, so rekeying is done at the door with the tool rather than by pinning a cylinder. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset in the Signature Series pairs a Halifax lever trim with a SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door, where the credential is a code rather than a key. For a locksmith consolidating a building onto one key system, the keyway family, not the handle style, is what decides the order.

Sold as a complete set, with the mortise latch and the strike plate included. What you do choose separately is the inside trim: the 3306 takes any Emtek brass knob or lever, so the interior handle style is a decision you make on the order, not an extra purchase after the fact. The exterior is the Manhattan brass handleset.

Interior trim on the 3306 is open across Emtek's brass knob and lever range, from plain traditional shapes like the Round, Egg, Providence and Victoria knobs, through the modern L-Bar, T-Bar and R-Bar series in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments, to crystal knobs such as Bristol, Windsor and Georgetown, and levers including Athena, Hermes, Luzern, Cortina, Milano and Rope. If you are matching interior doors already carrying an Emtek lever, pick the same style and the entry set will read as part of the same set.

Eight finishes on the 3306: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The US3NL unlacquered brass is bare brass with no clear coat, so it darkens and patinas with handling and weather. If you want the brass to stay bright, order the Lifetime Polished Brass US3 instead.

Staying in mortise trim, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the closest peer, and it comes in both single cylinder and double cylinder entry versions for 1-3/4 inch doors. Take the double cylinder version only if you need a key on the inside too, which is typically for a door with glass beside the lock; the Emtek 3306 is single cylinder, so it uses a thumbturn inside.

Emtek catalogues the 3306 as residential, and that is the honest read: it is a solid brass decorative entry set for houses, condos and unit doors rather than a Grade 1 commercial lock for high-traffic openings. It does carry a UL 180 minute fire rating, so it can go on a rated residential entry. For a graded set instead, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, as are the Schlage Residential F Series and J Series handlesets.

No electronics on the 3306 Manhattan, it is a mechanical mortise set with a Schlage C keyway. If you want a handleset with keypad or app entry, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts with the Ridgefield handleset cover that, in standalone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth versions for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815 San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt on 1-3/4 inch doors.

They are not the same scope of order. The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is sold as a complete set including latch and strike plate, with the inside knob or lever chosen separately from the brass trim range, and it ships handed - left or right must be specified, across LH, LHR, RH and RHR. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is mortise trim, single cylinder entry, listed for a 1-3/4 inch door; a double cylinder version, the 6542, is the counterpart for a door with glass beside the lock where a keyed inside cylinder is wanted. A distributor quoting these should treat the Emtek 3306 as a lock-plus-trim package and confirm separately what mortise body a Baldwin trim order needs.

The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is built for a 1-3/4 inch door as standard, with thicker doors specified at the time of order. Where a single set has to cover a range of door thicknesses across a building, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches in the Premiere Essentials series, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches. A property manager replacing entry sets on doors of mixed age often finds a range-rated handleset simpler than confirming each leaf, while the Emtek 3306 stays the choice where the mortise pocket already exists.

Where a purchase order calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade explicitly, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series is Grade 2 entrance, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 in the F Series. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview and 687AMD Amador single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3 entrance units. The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is a UL listed mortise set with ANSI F20 or F13 function, a UL 180 minute fire rating, and standard mortise prep to ANSI A115.1, which is the reference an institutional buyer usually wants for a fire-rated opening. Match the paperwork to what the spec actually calls out - a grade line and a fire rating line are answered by different documents.

The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is a brass handleset in the American Classic style, offered in eight finishes including Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) and French Antique (US7). In solid brass entry handlesets, the Deltana 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are all entry function solid brass handlesets in their own series. Emtek's inside trim is chosen from the brass knob and lever range - Ace, Spoke, Providence, Cortina and dozens more - so the interior can be matched to knobs already on the other doors, which the Deltana sets pair by series instead.

They are different lock architectures. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever is a Grade 2 passage function unit in the JI Series for a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door, with a separate deadbolt bore tied to the latch so one motion retracts both. The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is a single mortise body in ANSI F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function with the latch and deadbolt inside one case in a mortise pocket. An interconnected set suits a multi-family unit door where egress in one motion is required with a bored prep; the Emtek 3306 suits a door already routed for mortise.

The 3306 Manhattan is an entry set only, keyed and single cylinder. For a matching non-locking opening, such as an inactive leaf on a pair or a closet door, you need a dummy handleset from another family. Weslock offers the 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the 2815 Hillcrest dummy with New Heaven lever, both covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and Schlage Residential has the JE285 Barcelona non-keyed entry handleset with Seville lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Solid brass substrate on the Manhattan 3306, not a plated zinc or steel body. That is what lets the unlacquered US3NL version patina evenly rather than wearing through a coating to a different metal underneath, and it is why the set holds up on a weather-exposed front door. Deltana's solid brass handlesets, such as the Hanover 803871B, St. Ann 815871 and Kingston 825871, are the comparable solid brass entry sets if you are shopping that construction across brands.

The Emtek 3306 Manhattan is ordered with any brass knob or lever for the inside trim, so the exterior grip stays constant while the interior is selected - Ace, Orb, Round, Providence, Victoria and the crystal knobs among them. Peers that ship as a fixed grip-and-knob pairing include the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob. The practical difference for a distributor is that the Baldwin and Weslock pairings are separate part numbers per interior, while the Emtek 3306 is one model with the interior chosen at order.
