Emtek 3308 Craftsman Brass Mortise Entrance Handleset - Entry Set

F20 is the entrance function: key retracts the latch from outside, and the inside trim is always free to exit. F13 is the dormitory function, which locks the outside trim rigid so the key is the only way in from outside while the inside still releases freely. Both are offered on the 3308 and you pick one at order time. For a house front door, F20 is the usual call; F13 suits an apartment, a rented unit, or any opening where you do not want the outside lever left unlocked.

The 3308 mortise lock carries a UL 180 minute fire rating and is UL Listed. That covers a 3-hour opening, which is what you need on a stair or corridor door where the label calls for it. The rating is on the mortise lock body, so the door and frame assembly still has to be labeled for the same duration.

Yes. The 3308 uses a Schlage C keyway, single cylinder, and can be ordered keyed different or keyed alike across multiple sets. You can also supply a key code to have it cut to an existing bitting. Schlage C is the most common residential keyway in North America, so if the rest of the openings are already Schlage or a C-keyway aftermarket cylinder, these can run on one key.

No. The 3308 is built around a 1-3/4 inch door and thicker sizes are made to order, so a 1-3/8 inch slab is outside what it is made for. For a 1-3/8 inch door, look at a bored handleset instead: the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest and Deltana 810871 Montego both cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is the nearest peer for a mortise-prepped opening, and Baldwin lists it for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek 3308 is a brass mortise entrance handleset with an entry function and a 1-3/4 inch standard door thickness, ordered with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and left or right handing. Both work off a mortise pocket rather than the two bored holes a tubular handleset uses, so a door already prepped for one is prepped for the other. The 3308 uses a Schlage C keyway and carries a UL 180 minute fire rating.

The Emtek 3308 requires a standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1 and is built for a 1-3/4 inch door, so a thinner door usually means a tubular handleset instead. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range with an entry function. Both use a bored prep rather than a mortise pocket, so the door does not have to be routed for a lock case.

They solve different openings. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is a Grade 3 entrance set sold as exterior trim only for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the SMC version uses an SC1 keyway with SmartKey. The Emtek 3308 is a complete mortise entrance set that includes the latch and strike plate, takes an inside knob or lever as part of the order, uses a Schlage C keyway, and is handed left or right. Swapping the Amador onto a mortise-prepped door leaves the mortise pocket unfilled and no interior trim in the box.

It ships as a complete set: exterior Craftsman handle, the mortise lock body with latch, the strike plate, and the interior trim you select. The one thing you choose rather than add is the inside knob or lever, picked from the Emtek brass knob and lever range at order time. No separate deadbolt or cylinder purchase is needed for a single cylinder entry.

Any Emtek brass knob or lever works as the interior trim, and the selection is broad: Arts and Crafts and Hammered levers that match the Craftsman exterior, plus modern bar styles (L-Bar, T-Bar, R-Bar in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble), traditional knobs like Egg, Melon, Providence and Victoria, and crystal knobs including Georgetown, Hampton and Windsor. Finishes across the set are Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL).

A mortise set puts the latch and the deadbolt in one steel case inside a pocket routed into the door edge, so there is a single lock body and one set of trim. That is the 3308. A tubular handleset instead uses a bored deadbolt above a bored latch and drops into two round holes, which is far easier to retrofit into an existing door. If your door is already bored for a knob and deadbolt, a bored handleset such as the Schlage F60 Addison or the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest is the simpler swap. Go mortise when the door is new, being prepped from scratch, or already has a mortise pocket in it.

Baldwin's Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the closest peer, and it comes in both single cylinder and double cylinder versions for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the one to look at if you want a keyed cylinder on the inside as well. The Emtek 3308 is single cylinder only. Note that the Baldwin 6542 is trim, so the mortise lock body is a separate line, where the 3308 arrives with its lock and strike in the box.

Emtek classes the 3308 as residential hardware. It works well on high-end homes, condo unit entries and short-term rental doors, particularly in the F13 dormitory function where a tenant cannot leave the outside trim unlocked. For a commercial opening under a Grade 1 spec on a drawing, this is not the set to bid, even though the mortise body itself is UL Listed with a 180 minute fire rating.

Only on the mortise sets. The Emtek 3308 requires handing on every order, left hand, right hand, or the reverse-bevel LHR and RHR for an out-swing door, because handing is required for all mortise locks. The tubular peers do not carry a handing spec: the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with either the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob as an entrance set, with the interior trim chosen rather than the hand.

The Emtek 3308 is built around a 1-3/4 inch standard door and thicker doors have to be specified at time of order. If you would rather order a set that publishes the thicker range outright, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors as a single cylinder function, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range.

The Emtek 3308 is a keyed entry set in either F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function, so if the opening does not need a key, look at a non-keyed or dummy handleset instead. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever is a dummy function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which suits an inactive leaf of a pair.

Yes, but it is a different mechanism. The Emtek 3308 is a non-electronic brass mortise set keyed to a Schlage C keyway. For keypad or connected entry, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset over the same range, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs a contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt with an RCAL latch and RCS strike on a 1-3/4 inch door. Each of those is a bored deadbolt plus handleset rather than a single mortise case.

The Emtek 3308 is a solid brass handleset in an Arts and Crafts style, offered in flat black, oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel and unlacquered brass. On the solid brass side, Deltana offers several entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry handlesets, and the 810871 Montego handleset is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Deltana sets are tubular handlesets, so they suit a bored door rather than the mortise pocket the 3308 needs.

No. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and its lock function is passage with a separate deadbolt above it. The Emtek 3308 is a single mortise case with an entry function, F20 entrance or F13 dormitory, where the latch and deadbolt live in one body behind a mortise prep. The two need different door prep and the JI18/19 will not fill a mortise pocket.

Among the graded handlesets, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset from the HDLB series is Grade 2 with an entrance function, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview single cylinder handleset is Grade 3 exterior trim for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek 3308 is a residential brass mortise entrance set carrying a UL 180 minute fire rating, and it takes handing, a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a Schlage C keyway at order time.

Solid brass throughout, both the substrate and the finished material. The four finishes are Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass has no clear coat over it, so it will darken and patina with handling and weather. If you want the exterior handle to stay the color it arrived in, pick one of the other three.

No, the 3308 is a mechanical mortise lock with a keyed cylinder and no electronics. If you want keypad or app entry on the same opening, the Yale Assure Lock Ridgefield handlesets pair a touchscreen deadbolt with a handleset and fit 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815 San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever handleset with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door.

A dummy handleset is what goes on a leaf that does not latch. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob is an Elegance Series dummy for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever is a Premiere Essentials Series dummy over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The Emtek 3308 itself is a keyed entry set that includes the latch and strike plate, so it is the active-leaf half of that pair.
