Emtek 3322 Topeka Sandcast Bronze Mortise Entrance Handleset - Entry Set

Handing is required, and there is no reversing it in the field. You pick LH, RH, LHR, or RHR when you order, where the R versions are for out-swing doors. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left and the door swings away from you, that's LH; hinges on the left and the door swings toward you is LHR. Get this wrong and the lever or knob throw and latch bevel end up backwards on the opening.

Two backsets are offered, 2-1/2 inch and 2-3/4 inch, so measure from the door edge to the center of the existing spindle hole before you order. The lock body is cut for standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1, so if your door was already prepped to that standard for a mortise lock, the case drops into the same pocket and the faceplate lands on the same edge cut.

1-3/4 inch is the standard build, which covers most exterior doors. Thicker doors are handled by specifying the actual thickness when you order, since the spindle and mounting screws have to be sized to the door. Measure the leaf and give the number rather than assuming the standard set will reach.

The mortise lock body is UL Listed and carries a UL 180 minute fire rating, in either the ANSI F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function. That is the rating on the lock itself, so the opening still has to be a rated assembly with rated frame, hinges and closer for the label to hold.

It uses a Schlage C keyway single cylinder, so it can be keyed alike with other Schlage C locks. You choose keyed different or keyed alike on the order, and there's a keying-to-code option if you already have a bitting code from your existing set. Single cylinder means key outside, thumbturn or lever inside, no key needed to get out.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is a mechanical, non-electronic set keyed to the Schlage C keyway. For a keypad or app-controlled front door, order a handleset built around an electronic deadbolt instead: the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale BYRD226NRRX is the standalone version of the same touchscreen deadbolt and Ridgefield handleset if you do not want network connectivity. All of these are bored-door products, not a mortise pocket.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is the nearest peer, because it is also mortise entry trim rather than a bored-door handleset. The Emtek 3322 Topeka is a mortise lock type in an entry function with a single cylinder, and the Baldwin 6542 Tremont is listed for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness in an entrance function. The practical difference is the door prep: both need a mortise pocket, so neither drops into a door bored for a standard tubular handleset. Most other handlesets in the category, such as the Kwikset 687AMD Amador or the Schlage F60 Addison, are bored-door products and are not interchangeable with a mortise pocket.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is a single cylinder entry set, so the exterior is keyed and the interior operates by thumbturn or lever. Where the opening has glazing within reach of the inside trim and the specification calls for a key on both sides, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the mortise-prep alternative, listed for a 1-3/4 inch door in an entrance function. Confirm the local egress code for the occupancy before specifying double cylinder on a required exit door.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is built for a 1-3/4 inch door as standard, with thicker doors called out at time of order. If you would rather order a handleset whose published range already reaches 2 inches, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, both in a single cylinder function. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset also lists 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Those are bored-door handlesets, so the door prep differs from the mortise pocket the 3322 needs.

Dummy handlesets share the same exterior appearance and are easy to order by mistake. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function, meaning they are surface trim with no latch and no cylinder. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function, so it latches but takes no key. The Emtek 3322 Topeka is a keyed entry set sold complete with latch and strike plate, with the F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is set up for a 1-3/4 inch door as standard. For a 1-3/8 inch door, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches in an entry function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range as a Grade 2 entrance set. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset spans 1-3/8 to 2 inches.

F20 is the standard entrance function: key retracts the latch from outside, inside lever or knob always free to exit, and the outside trim can be locked or unlocked. F13 is dormitory, where the outside trim locks and stays locked until it is unlocked again, so it does not release automatically each time someone passes through. For a house front door most people take F20. F13 suits an apartment or rental door where you want the outside to stay locked by default.

It ships as a complete set: the exterior handleset, the mortise lock body, the latch, and the strike plate, plus the interior knob or lever you select. You are not buying the lock case separately. What you do need to confirm is the door prep, since the mortise pocket and edge cut have to be there already or be cut to ANSI A115.1.

The inside trim is your choice from 25 Sandcast Bronze options, 10 levers (Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton, Yuma) and 15 knobs (Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town, Providence). Levers are the easier grip for anyone carrying tools or groceries; knobs read more traditional. The exterior grip stays the Topeka handleset either way.

Three finishes: Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze. These are Emtek Sandcast Bronze finishes on solid bronze castings, so they will match other pieces from the Sandcast Bronze collection but will not be a dead match to a plated brass or PVD bronze from another line. Sandcast bronze is a living finish and each casting varies slightly, which is the point of the look.

A mortise set like the Topeka 3322 puts everything in one lock case buried in the door edge, so the deadbolt and latch are one mechanism and the door needs a full mortise pocket cut to ANSI A115.1. That is more prep, more strength, and a cleaner single-trim look. A tubular handleset uses a separate bored deadbolt above a bored latch and only needs two cross-bores, which is far less work on a door that isn't already prepped. Deltana's Hanover, St. Ann and Kingston handlesets and the Schlage F60 Addison are examples of the bored style. If your door has never had a mortise lock in it, that prep is the real decision.

If the mortise prep isn't happening, look at bored handlesets. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors if you want to stay mortise. Otherwise the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors and the Deltana 810871 Montego covers the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch range, both without cutting a lock pocket. Pamex FS7P31 Lexington handles 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. None of those are sandcast bronze, so the look changes.

Emtek classes the 3322 Topeka as residential hardware, so it fits single-family, custom home and light multi-family front doors rather than a commercial opening on a Grade 1 spec. The lock body is UL Listed with a 180 minute fire rating, which matters on a rated unit entry door. If a project spec calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade, this is not the set to bid.

No key inside. It's a single cylinder set, so the key works only from the exterior and the interior knob or lever operates freely. That's what you want on a bedroom-egress or code-sensitive door. If you specifically need key control from both sides on glass-adjacent doors, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is offered as a double cylinder entry mortise trim.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is a mortise lock and needs a standard mortise pocket cut into the door edge. On a door already bored for a tubular handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is the simpler route: it is a Grade 2 entrance handleset that fits doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3 entrance products for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the 687AMD SMC carries an SC1 keyway. The trade is the door prep and the cast bronze body of the Emtek versus a bored prep on the others.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is sandcast bronze, offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze, and it is a mortise entry set requiring a mortise pocket and handing. The Deltana solid brass entry handlesets are the alternative material and prep: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston are all solid brass in an entry function. Choose on the substrate and the door prep already cut, since a sandcast bronze mortise set and a solid brass bored handleset are not swapped without changing the door.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is a residential mortise entrance set carrying a UL 180 minute fire rating and standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1, with F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function. Where a submittal instead asks for a stated ANSI grade on the handleset, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 in an entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 687AMD and 687BW handlesets are Grade 3. Those are bored-door sets, so confirm which prep the drawing shows before substituting.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate, and the inside trim is chosen at order time from any Sandcast Bronze knob or lever, so the exterior handleset and interior trim are one order line. The Baldwin Wesley handleset is catalogued as a fixed pairing instead, with the 180WYHXATK being the Alcott knob combination and the 180WYHXCYK the Carnaby knob combination, both entrance function. If you want a specific interior knob or lever face, check which of the two ordering models applies before you build the order.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is a single mortise case that carries both the latch and the lock, in F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function, so there is no separate deadbolt body above it. For a two-body arrangement, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel is the interconnected route, a Grade 2 passage lever tied to a keyed deadbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in an entrance function.

The Emtek 3322 Topeka is keyed to the Schlage C keyway, with keyed alike or keyed different ordering. For a key-free entrance, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim is a Wi-Fi set for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. Note the handleset side on those is passage trim with the locking handled by the touchscreen deadbolt, a different arrangement from a keyed mortise case.
