Emtek 3533 Octagon Lost Wax Cast Bronze Mortise Entrance Lockset - Entry Set

Yes, handing is required on every Emtek mortise lock, and the 3533 is ordered by both hand and swing: Left Hand in-swing, Left Hand out-swing, Right Hand in-swing, or Right Hand out-swing. Get the swing wrong and the latch bevel and lock case face the wrong way, so stand outside the door and note which side the hinges are on plus whether the door pulls toward you or away.

Both are offered on the 3533, so match the existing mortise pocket. The 2-1/2 inch backset is the common Emtek residential mortise dimension; 2-3/4 inch pushes the knob or lever further off the door edge and is what you pick when the pocket is already cut deeper or the stile is wide. Measure from the door edge to the center of the spindle hole before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable in one prep.

The 3533 entry set is built for a 1-3/4 inch door as standard, which is the usual exterior door thickness. Thicker doors are handled by stating the actual thickness when you order, since the spindles and cylinder tailpiece have to suit it. There is a door thickness field on the order for exactly that.

F20 is the entrance function most houses want: key retracts the latch from outside, inside lever or knob always gives free egress, and the thumbturn throws the deadbolt for privacy. F13 is the dormitory version, where the deadbolt operates by key outside and thumbturn inside and the outside trim stays locked until unlocked by key. Pick F20 for a front door on a home, F13 where you want the outside always secure against a passing handle try, such as a rental or apartment entry.

Prep is standard mortise per ANSI A115.1, so on a door already machined for a common residential mortise lock the case pocket, faceplate and strike prep line up. Confirm the existing pocket backset first, since the 3533 comes in 2-1/2 and 2-3/4 inch and the spindle and cylinder holes shift with it. New doors just need the standard A115.1 mortise template.

The 3533 uses the Schlage C keyway, so it can be keyed into a Schlage C system. Keying is set at order: choose keyed different or keyed alike across multiple sets, and there is a field to enter a key code if you need it cut to an existing code. It is a single cylinder set, meaning key outside and thumbturn inside rather than a key on both faces.

The Emtek 3533 is a residential mortise entrance set in cast bronze, UL listed with ANSI F20 or F13 function and a UL 180 minute fire rating. For an opening written to Grade 1, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 heavy duty office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 covers Grade 1 classroom function on 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek 3533 is a residential mortise entry set in lost wax cast bronze with a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and Schlage C keyway. The nearest decorative-market equivalent is the Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock body, offered in knob by knob and lever by lever versions with a 2-1/2 inch backset and rated for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. The Baldwin 6310 is the same family in an entrance/storeroom function with a 1-3/8 inch and over door thickness range. The Emtek is sold as a complete set with latch and strike and requires you to select the inside knob or lever trim; the Baldwin 6301 and 6310 are catalogued as lock bodies in a fixed knob or lever configuration.

The Emtek 3533 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, with thicker doors specified at order, using standard mortise prep to ANSI A115.1. For thin ornamental iron stiles, the Marks USA 21AC and 22AC entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with round knob are listed for 1 inch door thickness. Those are double cylinder; the Emtek 3533 is single cylinder keyed.

It ships as a complete set including the mortise latch body and the strike plate, so no separate lock case or strike order. What you do have to choose is the interior trim, a knob or lever is required with the set, plus the keying arrangement. A matching 3133 dummy is the piece to add for the inactive leaf of a pair.

Interior trim is your pick from sixteen Tuscany bronze options: Medici, Napoli, Octagon and Padua levers; Octagon, Parma, Petal, Diamond, Georgetown, Old Town, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell and Windsor knobs; plus Ebony and Ice White porcelain knobs. Lever trim is the choice where you want easier operation for kids or anyone with limited grip; the Octagon lever or knob keeps the interior matching the exterior plate.

The closest alternative in a decorative residential mortise body is Baldwin's 6301 entry/apartment, offered knob by knob or lever by lever on a 2-1/2 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch and thicker doors. Baldwin's 6310 entry/storeroom is the same 2-1/2 inch backset but suits 1-3/8 inch and thicker doors, which matters if you are working on a thinner older door than the Emtek's 1-3/4 inch standard.

No. The 3533 is a mechanical, non-electronic keyed mortise set with a Schlage C cylinder and thumbturn, with no keypad or credential option. For code or credential access in a mortise prep, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 keypad mortise lock for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Schlage CO-100 mortise is a keypad standalone for 1-3/4 inch doors.

Order the 3533 entry set for the active leaf and the matching 3133 dummy for the inactive one. The dummy carries the same Octagon cast bronze appearance with no working latch, so the pair reads as one set. Keep the finish choice the same on both, Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze.

The Emtek 3533 offers an F13 dormitory lock function alongside F20 entrance, in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze with 2-1/2 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets. For a commercial-grade alternative in the same function family, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt.

No. The Emtek 3533 is a non-electronic, single cylinder keyed mortise entry set on the Schlage C keyway. If the opening needs code or credential access instead, the Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are function-fixed and none accepts the Emtek cast bronze decorative trim.

The Emtek 3533 is a keyed entry mortise set; the matching non-keyed trim in the same family is the 3133 dummy. For a functioning but unlocked mortise latch, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating.

Handing must be specified as left or right on every Emtek 3533 mortise lock. If you want to avoid handing at the order stage, the BEST 45H heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function is field reversible, the Falcon MA101 mortise passage lock is also field reversible, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise deadbolt is sold with no handing. Note that those three are different functions from the Emtek entry set.

Two bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are on lost wax cast bronze, a solid bronze casting rather than plated brass, so the surface wears and patinas rather than flaking. Both finishes are available across the 2-1/2 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, F20 and F13 functions, and all four handings.

The Emtek 3533 is an entry function set and is not a privacy lock. For privacy openings, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch. Both are separate mortise bodies and do not share the Emtek Tuscany Bronze trim.
