Emtek 3544 Artemis Brass Mortise Entrance Lockset - Entry Set

Yes. The 3544 Artemis mortise entrance set is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, which is the usual thickness on commercial and exterior residential doors. Thicker doors are handled by specifying the door thickness when you order, and there is a Door Thickness field on the order form for exactly that. It goes into a standard mortise pocket prepped to ANSI A115.1, so if the door already carries a standard mortise prep you are not re-machining it.

Two backsets are offered on the 3544: 2-1/2 inch and 2-3/4 inch. The backset is the distance from the door edge to the center of the knob or lever spindle, so measure that on the existing prep before ordering. If you are dropping into an existing mortise pocket, match what is already there. A 2-3/4 inch backset pushes the trim further off the edge, which helps on wider stiles and on doors with heavy glass or panel detail near the edge.

Handing is required. Every mortise lock is handed, and the 3544 is ordered as LH, RH, LHR, or RHR. LHR and RHR are the reverse hands, used on out-swing doors. Stand outside the door on the key side: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door, and if it swings toward you it is a reverse. Get this wrong and the lever or knob will sit upside down and the latch bevel will face the wrong way.

F20 is the entrance function: the outside knob or lever is locked or unlocked by key or by the inside thumbturn, and the inside handle always retracts the latch for free egress. F13 is the dormitory function, where the outside trim stays locked and is released by key, and the deadbolt is thrown from inside. Pick F20 for a front door or apartment entry where the occupant wants to leave it unlocked during the day. Pick F13 where the door should stay secure at all times and only a key gets you in.

The 3544 uses a UL Listed mortise body with a UL 180 minute fire rating, so it is suitable for openings requiring up to a 3 hour rated door assembly. Confirm the door and frame label carries the same rating, since the opening is only rated to its weakest listed component.

The 3544 is cut on the Schlage C keyway, so it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C system. It is a single cylinder set, meaning key outside and thumbturn inside. Keying is ordered on the set itself: choose keyed different or keyed alike, and if you are matching an existing system there is a keying to code field where you supply the code.

If the existing prep is a standard mortise pocket to ANSI A115.1 on a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-1/2 inch backset, the 3544 ordered in that backset goes into the same pocket. What you still have to match is the handing and the trim through-bolt locations, and the face and strike are included so you are not reusing the old ones. For a straight brass residential swap on the same 2-1/2 inch backset from another brand, the Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock body is also a 2-1/2 inch backset unit for doors 1-3/4 inch and over.

The Baldwin 6301 is an entry/apartment mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset in a knob by knob configuration, and the 6301LS is the same 6301 entry/apartment body in lever by lever. The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a brass mortise entrance lockset ordered on either a 2-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, with the inside trim selected as a knob, crystal knob, or lever, so the 2-1/2 inch backset matches the Baldwin 6301 body directly. Both Baldwin 6301 bodies carry a door thickness range of 1-3/4 inch and over; the Emtek 3544 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard with thicker doors specified at order.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a residential brass mortise entrance lockset. For a commercial corridor opening specified Grade 1, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt in the 7900 Series. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever if the corridor side should stay locked at all times.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a keyed single cylinder entry set, offered in F20 entrance and F13 dormitory functions, so both functions lock. For an opening that should stay free-swinging, the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Hager 3810E is the same 3800 Series passage lock with an escutcheon instead of a rose; both cover doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch. The Schlage PM010 is a non-keyed Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, which removes the handing call.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a mechanical, non-electronic keyed set on a Schlage C keyway. If the opening needs a code instead of a key, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes and classroom function for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the Alarm Lock DL2700CR is a Trilogy T2 electronic mortise lock with classroom function and weatherproof design in the same door thickness range. The Accentra NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override, no deadbolt. Note the Alarm Lock door thickness ranges stop below the 1-3/4 inch door the 3544 is built for as standard.

No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a mortise deadbolt with no handing. A deadbolt throws a bolt but carries no latch and no knob or lever, so it does not operate the door. The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a complete single cylinder mortise entrance set including latch and strike plate with the inside knob or lever selected at order, and handing specified. If a deadbolt is what the opening needs alongside a latching set, it is an addition to the 3544, not a replacement for it.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a keyed entry function set, which is not the right function for a bath or bedroom. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset covering doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The 2-3/4 inch backset on the Hager 3840S matches one of the two backsets the 3544 is ordered on, so a project standardized at 2-3/4 inch keeps the same door prep across entry and privacy openings.

No, not without changing the door prep. The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a mortise lock requiring standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1, which is a pocket routed into the door edge. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with rose, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and a cylindrical lock bores through the face of the door instead. A door already mortised takes a mortise body; swapping to cylindrical means new prep or a filler.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a UL listed mortise with a UL 180 minute fire rating in F20 or F13 function. Among comparable mortise products, the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock carries a fire rating, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock and the LEBMB-ADD mobile-enabled mortise lock are both rated 3 hours. Match the rating to the door assembly the opening is specified for before ordering.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis is built for 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, with thicker doors specified at order. For a 1 inch ornamental iron door, the Marks USA 21AC is an entrance double cylinder Unilock ornamental iron mortise lock with a round knob for 1 inch doors, and the Marks USA 22AC is the 22 Series version of the same entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise lock with round knob, also 1 inch. Note both Marks bodies are double cylinder, keyed on both sides, while the 3544 is single cylinder.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a brass residential entry set with knob, crystal knob, and lever trim options. For a ligature resistant opening, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a stainless steel Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 is the satin stainless steel ligature resistant arch trim version, also passage function and Grade 1 heavy duty. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function; the 3544 is a keyed entry set.

It ships as a complete set: the mortise lock body, the latch, and the strike plate, plus the Artemis exterior trim and the inside knob or lever you choose. The cylinder and keys come with it since it is a keyed set. What you do supply is the door prep itself. There is nothing separate to add for a standard 1-3/4 inch door.

Yes, and it is a required choice when ordering. The inside trim can be any Emtek brass knob, crystal or porcelain knob, or lever, which covers everything from contemporary bar levers like the Stuttgart, Helios, and Athena to traditional knobs like the Providence and Waverly and crystal options like the Windsor and Georgetown. That lets you run a contemporary exterior with whatever interior trim matches the rest of the house.

The 3544 is strictly mechanical, with no electronic option in the family. If you need code or credential access on a mortise prep, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy is an electronic mortise lock for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are a different visual language from the Artemis brass trim, so on a project where appearance drives the choice the mechanical 3544 with keyed alike cylinders is usually the better fit.

The dummy version is the 3144. It matches the Artemis trim and takes the same knob and lever choices, but has no lock body or latch, so it is what you use on a fixed inactive leaf of a pair or on a door that never latches. Order the 3544 for the operating door and the 3144 where you only need the look.

Yes. Keying is selected on the order as keyed different or keyed alike, and there is a field for keying to an existing code. Each set is single cylinder on the Schlage C keyway, so a run of front doors, side doors, and garage entries can all take the same key, and adding to the system later means quoting the same code.

The Baldwin 6310 is an entry/storeroom mortise lock body, knob by knob, on a 2-1/2 inch backset, and the 6310190RRLS is that same entry/storeroom body in a right hand reverse lever by lever configuration. Both cover doors 1-3/8 inch and over. The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a single cylinder entry set that can be ordered F20 entrance or F13 dormitory, with handing specified left or right, and it ships as a complete set including latch and strike plate. The functional split is entrance/storeroom on the Baldwin bodies against entrance or dormitory on the 3544.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis requires handing specified as LH, LHR, RH, or RHR, since handing is required on all mortise locks in the line. If you are stocking one part for openings whose swing you cannot confirm, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body is public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise lock is supplied with no handing. Those are passage, public entrance, and deadbolt functions respectively rather than a single cylinder residential entry set.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis entry set has a matching dummy in the same styling, ordered as 3144. Among other mortise trim, the Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 non-keyed half dummy lever trim in the L Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon MESC600DT is a dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 Series exit devices. The 3144 keeps the same knob, crystal, or lever style selection as the 3544 entry set, which is what matters when the dummy sits next to a keyed opening in the same finish.

The Emtek 3544 Artemis is a mechanical single cylinder set on a Schlage C keyway. For credentialed access on a mortise prep, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt with LED on Greenwich trim, right hand, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 back to back pushbutton and card mortise lock in entry/egress function.
