Emtek F20-3329-75-RH-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 3329 Sonoma mortise handleset?
Handing is required, and it is not field reversible on the order form. You pick LH, RH, LHR or RHR, with the R versions being reverse bevel for out-swing doors. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left and the door swings away from you, that is LHR. Get this wrong and the lever or knob throw and latch bevel will be backwards.
2) What is the difference between the F20 and F13 function on the Emtek 3329 Sonoma?
F20 is the standard entrance function: key outside, thumbturn or inside trim retracts and the outside is locked or unlocked from the inside. F13 is the dormitory/hotel style function, where the outside trim stays locked until the key is used and the inside always gives free egress. Both are UL listed mortise bodies on the 3329. Pick F20 for a normal house front door; F13 is the one to order for rental units or a door you want to stay locked behind you.
3) Can I key the Emtek 3329 Sonoma to match my existing Schlage locks?
The 3329 ships with a Schlage C keyway, so it can be keyed to an existing Schlage C system. It is a single cylinder set, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. Keyed alike or keyed different is chosen at order time, and if you have a key code you can supply it to have the cylinder cut to that code.
4) Does the Emtek Sonoma 3329 come with the inside knob or lever, or is that ordered separately?
Inside trim is part of the order, and you choose it. Any Emtek Sandcast Bronze knob or lever pairs with the 3329, including the Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton and Yuma levers, and knobs such as Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town and Providence. The set ships complete with the mortise latch and strike plate.
5) My door is not prepped for a mortise lock. What handleset should I use instead?
A mortise set like the Sonoma 3329 needs a routed pocket in the door edge to ANSI A115.1, which a bored door does not have. If you are working with a standard bored door, a tubular handleset is the right call: the Sure-Loc Alta tubular handleset has an adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 keyed entry handleset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both install in a cross-bore instead of a mortise pocket.
6) Which backset should I order on the Emtek 3329, 2-1/2 or 2-3/4 inch?
Measure from the door edge to the centerline of the existing knob or lever hole. The 3329 is built in 2-1/2 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, and on a mortise lock the backset is fixed by the lock case, not adjustable in the field. On a retrofit, match whatever the old mortise body measured; on new construction, the wider 2-3/4 inch gives more knuckle clearance against a thick stop or trim.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek 3329 Sonoma handleset if the door already has a mortise pocket?
The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is a mortise entrance handleset prepped for standard mortise ANSI A115.1. The other mortise-body option is Baldwin's Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim, offered as single cylinder (6542ENTR) or double cylinder (6542DBLC), both listed for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek 3329 is a complete set including latch and strike plate with a Schlage C keyway, while the Baldwin 6542 is trim for a mortise lock.
8) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - does the Emtek 3329 work, or is there a better option?
The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard and can be ordered for a thicker door by specifying the thickness. If you prefer a set published for thicker stock, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living Ridgefield handleset sets BYRD226CBARX and BYRD226NRRX cover the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch range.
9) What finishes does the Emtek Sonoma sandcast bronze entry handleset come in?
Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are solid cast bronze, so the finish is in the metal rather than plated over a base, and it will develop a patina outdoors. If you are matching other openings in a house, order the whole run in one finish code.
10) What is a comparable mortise entry trim from another brand if I want a different look?
Staying with mortise, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the closest equivalent, and Baldwin offers it in both single cylinder and double cylinder versions for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Sonoma 3329 is single cylinder only, so if you need a keyed cylinder on the inside face as well, the Baldwin 6542 double cylinder is the one to look at.
11) Is there a handleset like the Emtek 3329 that takes an electronic deadbolt instead of a key?
The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is a mechanical, non-electronic single cylinder mortise entrance set. For a keypad or app-controlled opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever with a Contemporary SmartCode electronic deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door, and Yale Real Living offers the BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset or the BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen version, both for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
12) What handleset should I order for a door that does not need to lock, instead of the Emtek 3329?
The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is a keyed entry set. For an opening that needs the look without a key cylinder, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry function for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and for a fixed inactive leaf the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob are dummy handlesets for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
13) Which handleset alternatives to the Emtek 3329 carry a stated ANSI grade?
Among comparable entrance handlesets, the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison are Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3 on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is a residential mortise entrance set with a UL 180 minute fire rating and ANSI F20 or F13 function.
14) The Emtek 3329 comes in bronze finishes only - what similar handlesets come in other materials or finishes?
The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is sandcast bronze in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze. For solid brass, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann, and 825871 Kingston entry handlesets, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset comes in a satin nickel finish for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) The Emtek 3329 is fixed to a 2-1/2 or 2-3/4 inch backset - which comparable handlesets adjust?
The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is ordered for either a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and requires handing to be specified. Sure-Loc handlesets with adjustable backset cover both dimensions in one part: the AN507 Aspen single cylinder keyed entry, the MA507 Madison keyed entry, the CR507 Coral, and the AT507 Alta tubular.
16) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock an equivalent to the Emtek 3329 Sonoma?
They are not equivalent. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino lever is a passage function interconnected lock with a keyed deadbolt, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is a keyed entry mortise handleset with ANSI F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function, where the latch and deadbolt are in one mortise body.
17) Is the Emtek 3329 Sonoma a residential or commercial handleset?
It is built as a residential entry set, from the Sandcast Bronze collection in a rustic style. The mortise body is UL listed with a 180 minute fire rating, but the trim and the collection are residential. For a commercial opening needing an ANSI/BHMA graded mortise lockset, look at a dedicated commercial mortise line instead.
18) I want a matching handleset and knob pairing like the Emtek 3329 Sonoma - what else is sold that way?
The Emtek 3329 Sonoma is ordered with any sandcast bronze knob or lever for the inside trim and ships as a complete set with latch and strike plate. Other handleset-plus-trim pairings include the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob (180WYHXATK) or with Carnaby knob (180WYHXCYK), both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob.
19) Is the Deltana 810871 Montego a substitute for the Emtek 3329 Sonoma?
They serve similar openings but differ in preparation. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset is listed for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, while the Emtek 3329 Sonoma is a mortise entrance set on a standard mortise ANSI A115.1 prep with a Schlage C keyway and handing specified left or right. For a Deltana entry-function set, the 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are solid brass entry handlesets.
