Emtek 3348 Lugano Brass Mortise Entrance Handleset - Entry Set

Handing is required on every Emtek mortise lock, the 3348 Lugano included. You pick LH, RH, LHR, or RHR, and the two reverse options (LHR and RHR) are the ones for an out-swing door. Get it wrong and the latch bevel faces the wrong way, so stand outside the opening, note which side the hinges are on and which way the door swings away from you, and order from that.

Two backsets are offered on the Lugano handleset, 2-1/2 inch and 2-3/4 inch, and it is cut for standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1. If your door already carries an A115.1 mortise pocket, measure from the door edge to the center of the cylinder hole and order the backset that matches. A 2-1/2 inch lock will not reach the holes bored for a 2-3/4 inch case.

F20 is the entrance function: the outside lever or knob can be left unlocked for normal traffic and locked when you want it locked. F13 is dormitory, where the outside trim stays locked and key or inside operation is what gets you through. For a house front door most people take F20. For a rental unit, a suite door, or anywhere you want the door to secure itself behind whoever leaves, F13 is the one to specify. Both are on the same 3348 Lugano handleset, so it is an order choice, not a different part.

The Lugano handleset ships with a Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system, and it is a single cylinder set, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. Ordering more than one, you choose keyed alike or keyed different, and there is a field for a specific key code if you are matching a system already in the field.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the peer that stays in mortise prep. It comes in a single cylinder version, the 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim, and a double cylinder version, the 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim, both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 3348 Lugano is a single cylinder entry mortise handleset in brass, sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate, in 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backsets. The practical split is the cylinder count: the Emtek 3348 is single cylinder, so a thumbturn releases the inside, while the Baldwin 6542DBLC takes a key on both sides. Both mortise options require handing to be specified for the opening.

The Emtek 3348 Lugano is a mortise entrance handleset and needs a standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1, so a door bored for a deadbolt and latch will not take it. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset in the F Series fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador Single Cylinder Handleset is a Grade 3 entrance handleset for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered with SmartKey and in an SC1 keyway version, the 687AMD SMC. Those go into bored prep. Choosing between them is a prep question first: cut mortise pocket, use the 3348; bored holes, use the F60 or 687AMD.

The Emtek 3348 Lugano Brass mortise entrance handleset ships with a Schlage C keyway, which is the keyway a locksmith wants when the rest of the building is already on Schlage C. Among the alternatives, the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador Single Cylinder Handleset is listed with an SC1 keyway and SmartKey, so it accepts the same key section; the standard Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador and the 687BW SMT Belleview are the SmartKey versions of the same Grade 3 entrance handleset. Both Amador variants are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. If a keyed alike group is the goal, the keyway is the first thing to match before finish or trim style.

Several handlesets share the exterior look but not the function. The Weslock 6695 Belmont Handleset with Impresa Knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Handleset with New Heaven Lever are both dummy function, meaning no latch operation at all, for an inactive leaf. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry function in the J Series, and the Schlage JI18/19 Interconnected lock with Torino lever carries a passage function. The Emtek 3348 Lugano is a keyed single cylinder entry set, available in F20 Entrance or F13 Dormitory Lock function, so it is doing a job none of those four can do on a keyed exterior door.

The Emtek 3348 Lugano is a residential mortise entrance handleset, UL listed mortise with ANSI F20 or F13 function and a UL 180 minute fire rating. Where a facility spec calls for a stated ANSI grade on the handleset itself, the graded peers are the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset at Grade 2 in the F Series, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset at Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview handlesets at Grade 3. For a fire rated opening, the 3348 is the one carrying the UL 180 minute rating.

Sold as a complete set: exterior handleset, the mortise lock body, latch, and strike plate. The one thing you choose rather than receive by default is the inside trim, and that choice is required at order. Nothing else needs to be bought to make the lock work on a properly prepped door.

Yes, and it is a required choice at order. Any Emtek brass knob or lever can go on the inside of the 3348 Lugano, which runs from contemporary bars like the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar to levers such as the Stuttgart, Helios, Athena and Luzern, plus knobs including the Ace, Spoke, Orb and Round, and crystal options like the Bristol and Windsor. If you want an ADA-friendly grip on the inside of an entry, pick a lever here.

Emtek catalogues the 3348 Lugano as residential trim, so it belongs on houses, condo units, and multi-family entry doors rather than on a high-traffic commercial entrance. What it does carry that most residential handlesets do not is a true mortise lock body with standard ANSI A115.1 prep and a UL 180 minute fire rating, which is why it turns up on apartment corridor and unit doors. For a graded commercial entrance you want a Grade 1 commercial mortise lockset instead.

The closest thing in kind is the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim, which is also mortise and also 1-3/4 inch door, and comes single cylinder or double cylinder if you want a key on both sides rather than the thumbturn the Lugano gives you. For solid brass handlesets in a more traditional look, Deltana's Hanover 803871B, St. Ann 815871, and Kingston 825871 are entry sets in brass. Those Deltana and Baldwin sets are different trim designs, so match the escutcheon shape to your door before you swap styles mid-building.

The 3348 Lugano is a mechanical lock with no electronic option, so if you want code or phone entry you are looking at a different product. ZenSupply carries the Yale Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset in standalone and Wi-Fi versions for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815 San Clemente handleset with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt and Halifax lever trim for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both of those are bored deadbolt installs, not mortise, so they do not drop into a mortise pocket.

No. The 3348 Lugano is a single cylinder set, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. If your local code or insurer wants a key both sides because there is glazing within reach of the inside turn, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is offered as double cylinder entry mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door. Check your fire code first, since double cylinder is restricted on some egress doors.

The Emtek 3348 Lugano mortise entrance handleset is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, with thicker doors specified at the time of order. Peers that publish a range reaching past 1-3/4 inch include the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob, a single cylinder keyed entry listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset, also 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. On a thick or built-up entry door, that published range is the deciding spec.

The Emtek 3348 Lugano is brass through the substrate and mortise mounted. If the opening cannot take mortise prep but the brass look must hold, Deltana offers solid brass entry handlesets in several styles: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset is the one in that family listed with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, which matters on an older door that is not a clean 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek 3348 is built around 1-3/4 inch standard door thickness with thicker doors specified at order.

The Emtek 3348 Lugano is a mechanical, non-electronic mortise entrance handleset keyed to Schlage C. For electronic access on a comparable entry opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset pairs Halifax lever interior trim with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt with SmartKey, RCAL latch and RCS strike, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on a touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset, the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone version without network connectivity, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key free touchscreen with Ridgefield passage handleset connected by August. Those Yale sets are listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Note the BYRD256 CBARX pairs with a passage handleset, so the keyed control lives entirely in the deadbolt.

No. The Emtek 3348 Lugano is sold as a complete set including latch and strike plate, and the inside trim is ordered as part of it from the brass knob and lever range. For an exterior only replacement, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador Single Cylinder Handleset and the 687BW Belleview Single Cylinder Handleset are both listed as exterior only, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors, with SmartKey. The Baldwin Wesley Handleset is supplied paired with the interior knob, either the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob, in entrance function. Match the exterior only option to an existing interior that is staying in place.

Handing is a mortise question. The Emtek 3348 Lugano requires handing on every order and is built in LH, RH, LHR for out-swing doors, and RHR for out-swing doors, because all mortise locks are handed. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim, single cylinder or double cylinder, is the other mortise option among the alternatives and sits in the same handed category. Bored handlesets such as the Schlage F60 Addison in the F Series and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob in the Premiere Essentials line are the ones where an installer is not committing to a hand at order time. If the swing on the drawing is not yet fixed, that difference decides the order.

Six finishes on the Lugano: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The body is solid brass. Unlacquered brass is worth a thought on a fleet of doors, since it is left bare to patina rather than holding one look, so pick one of the other five if you need every opening to stay matched.
