Emtek 3344 Artemis Brass Mortise Entrance Handleset - Entry Set

Two backsets are offered, 2-1/2 inch and 2-3/4 inch, and the case is cut for standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1. If the door already has an A115.1 pocket, measure from the door edge to the center of the existing cylinder hole and order the matching backset. That measurement is the one that has to agree, since the pocket depth is what limits which case will seat.

1-3/4 inches is the standard thickness for the 3344, and that covers most exterior doors. Thicker doors are handled too, but the thickness has to be called out on the order so the correct spindle and cylinder length ship with the set. There's a door thickness field on the order for exactly that.

F20 is the entrance function: key retracts the latch from outside, inside lever or knob always retracts free for egress, and the thumbturn or button controls the outside trim. F13 is the dormitory function, where the outside stays locked once set and the key or the inside turn is what changes that state. For a house front door, most people take F20. F13 shows up on apartment and unit doors where the outside should relock behind the occupant. Both are UL Listed mortise functions on the 3344.

UL 180 minute fire rating on the mortise lock, and the lock is UL Listed. That's a three-hour rating, which covers typical rated openings in multi-family corridors and stairwell doors, provided the door and frame carry their own labels. The rating is on the lock case, not on the brass trim.

The 3344 Artemis is a mortise lock, meaning one machined pocket in the door edge carries the latch, the deadbolt and the trim in a single case. It needs a proper mortise pocket cut to ANSI A115.1, so it is what you spec on a new or prepped door where you want one integrated case and a heavier feel. A tubular handleset, which is what a Kwikset 687 Amador or Schlage F60 Addison is, uses two bored holes instead and drops into standard 2-1/8 inch prep, so it retrofits an ordinary door with no mortising. If your door already has bored prep and you don't want it routed, go tubular. If you're cutting new or replacing an existing mortise lock, the 3344 is the direct fit.

The Artemis 3344 is built around 1-3/4 inch as standard, and it's a mortise lock that needs a routed pocket, so a 1-3/8 inch door is the wrong opening for it. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Deltana Hanover, St. Ann and Kingston sets are the same solid brass entry family. Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is another brass handleset rated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Any of those solve a thinner door without mortising it.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is the nearest peer in mortise construction and entrance function. Both are single-cylinder entry mortise sets; the Emtek 3344 Artemis is brass with 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backsets and a Schlage C keyway, and the Baldwin 6542 Tremont is listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. If you need double-cylinder operation on the same Tremont trim, that is the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim.

Yes. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 F Series set that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is a Grade 3 keyed entry for 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither requires the standard mortise door prep the Emtek 3344 Artemis uses, so they suit a door already bored for a tubular set.

The Emtek 3344 Artemis is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, with thicker doors specified at time of order. If you want a set that publishes a wider range outright, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

Watch the function line. The Weslock 6695 Belmont handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function - pull trim only, no latch operation. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function, and the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected set is a passage lock paired with a separate keyed deadbolt. The Emtek 3344 Artemis is a keyed single cylinder entry set in F20 entrance or F13 dormitory function.

Several do. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview is Grade 3. The Emtek 3344 Artemis is a UL listed mortise lock with a UL 180 minute fire rating in ANSI F20 or F13 function on standard mortise ANSI A115.1 door prep, which is the specification line to put on a submittal for a fire-rated opening.

The Emtek 3344 Artemis is cut to Schlage C and can be ordered keyed alike or keyed to an existing code. If the rest of the property runs on Kwikset cylinders, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset comes in a SmartKey version and in an SC1 keyway SmartKey version, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview is a SmartKey handleset - all three exterior trim only, so pair them with matching interior hardware.

Sold as a complete set: exterior handleset, the mortise lock case with latch, the strike plate, and the interior trim you select. You are not buying the lock body separately. What you do have to decide is the inside knob or lever, since that's a required selection and the set won't ship without one.

The inside trim is your choice from Emtek's full brass knob and lever range, and it's a required selection on the order. That spans contemporary levers like Stuttgart, Helios, Athena and Poseidon, the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar bar-style levers in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments, traditional knobs like Egg, Melon and Providence, and crystal knobs including Windsor, Bristol and Georgetown. That's how you get a contemporary exterior handle with interior trim that matches the rest of the house.

Six finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The unlacquered brass is the one to think about before ordering, since it has no clear coat and will patina and darken with handling. Oil rubbed bronze is a living finish too and wears at the grip points. If you need the front door to look the same in five years as it does on install day, take satin brass, satin nickel, polished chrome, or flat black.

It's classified as residential, and the finishes and brass trim are built for a house front door rather than a high-traffic commercial opening. The mortise case itself is UL Listed with a 180 minute fire rating, so it can serve on a rated residential or multi-family unit door, and the F13 dormitory function exists for exactly that kind of unit entry. For a commercial corridor or a building entrance seeing heavy public traffic, you want a commercial-grade mortise lock rather than this one.

The 3344 Artemis is single cylinder, so the inside is a thumbturn and it can't be ordered keyed on both sides. For a keyed-both-sides mortise trim, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is offered in a double cylinder entry mortise version alongside its single cylinder version, and Baldwin lists it for 1-3/4 inch doors. Worth noting that double cylinder on a residential egress door is restricted by code in many jurisdictions, so check locally before speccing it.

The 3344 Artemis is purely mechanical, key and thumbturn, with no electronics in it. If you want keypad or app access on a handleset opening, the Yale Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts pair with the Ridgefield handleset in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and standalone versions for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and Kwikset's 815 San Clemente handleset comes with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are bored-prep products, though, not mortise, so they won't drop into a mortise pocket.

Keyed alike is a standard ordering option, so a front, side and back door can all run one key. Order them together and specify keyed alike, or specify keying to a code if you're matching an existing system. Since the cylinders are Schlage C keyway, other Schlage C doors in the house can be brought onto the same key by a locksmith. Handing is set per door, so each opening still needs its own LH, RH, LHR or RHR called out.

Handing is required on the Emtek 3344 Artemis - left hand, right hand, or the reverse-bevel out-swing versions LHR and RHR - because handing is required on all mortise locks. Tubular alternatives such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset in the F Series and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel are entry-function sets that fit doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which is the direction to go when the opening handing is not yet fixed.

The Emtek 3344 Artemis is a mechanical, non-electronic keyed mortise set. For an electronic front door, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of that same Ridgefield set, without the network connection.

Deltana builds several solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function in solid brass. The Emtek 3344 Artemis is brass in a contemporary style with six finishes - Flat Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Satin Brass, Satin Nickel, and Unlacquered Brass - and the Deltana sets carry their own traditional series names if you want a different look in the same material.

Yes. The Emtek 3344 Artemis is ordered with the inside knob or lever selected from the brass trim range and shipped as a complete set with latch and strike plate. If you would rather buy a fixed pairing, the Baldwin Wesley handleset comes preconfigured with the Alcott knob or with the Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest arrives with the Hudson knob.

Brass, both the material and the substrate, and it sits in Emtek's Brass collection. That's what makes the unlacquered brass finish behave the way it does, since the patina develops in the base metal rather than in a coating. Styling is contemporary rather than traditional.
