Emtek F20-3545-75-RH-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset does the Emtek Mormont 3545 mortise lock need, and how do I know which one my door is prepped for?
Two backsets are offered, 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. A 2-1/2 inch body will not line up with trim bored for 2-3/4 inch. On new work the door is cut to standard mortise prep per ANSI A115.1, and the mortise pocket depth follows the backset you specify.
2) Will the Emtek 3545 Mormont mortise entry set work on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
1-3/4 inch is the standard build for the Mormont mortise set, which covers most exterior residential and commercial doors. Thicker doors are handled, but only if you call out the actual thickness when you order, since the spindle and the cylinder tailpiece have to be sized to it. There is a Door Thickness field on the order for exactly that. Measure the door edge and give the real number.
3) What is the difference between the F20 and F13 function on the Emtek Mormont mortise lock?
Both functions are offered on the Mormont mortise set. F20 is the entrance function: key outside, and the inside lever or knob always retracts the latch for free egress. F13 is dormitory, the same free egress but with a deadbolt element, so it suits an apartment or dorm entry where the occupant locks behind them. Pick F20 for a normal front or back door; pick F13 where a keyed unit door is being secured on a corridor.
4) Can the Emtek Mormont entry set be keyed alike with my other Emtek locks?
Keyed alike is an ordering option on the Mormont set, alongside keyed different, and there is a keying-to-code field if you already run a code on the building. The cylinder is Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system, which is what most residential and light commercial masterkeying is built on. It's a single cylinder entry set, meaning key outside and thumbturn or free lever inside.
5) Is the Emtek 3545 Mormont mortise lock fire rated?
The mortise lock body is UL Listed with a 180 minute fire rating, and it carries ANSI F20 or F13 function. That covers a 3 hour opening where the door, frame and hardware all have to hold the rating. Note the assembly is a brass residential-collection entry set, so the trim aesthetic is residential even where the lock body's listing lets it sit in a rated opening.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 3545 Mormont mortise entrance lockset from another brand?
The Baldwin 6301 is the nearest peer in decorative residential mortise: it is an entry/apartment mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset, and it is offered as knob by knob or as lever by lever under the 6301LS. The Emtek 3545 Mormont is an entry mortise set in brass with a single cylinder keyed function, and it can be ordered on a 2-1/2 inch or a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it also covers a 2-3/4 inch prep that the Baldwin 6301 does not. Both need handing called out at order.
7) I need a mortise entry lock for a commercial corridor with heavy traffic - is the Emtek Mormont the right choice or should I look at something else?
The Emtek 3545 Mormont is a residential entry mortise set in brass. For a commercial opening, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock from the 8800 series with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 heavy duty office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty corridor/dormitory mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, which is the closest commercial match if the dormitory function is what you are after.
8) I have a 2 inch thick door - will the Emtek 3545 Mormont work or do I need a different mortise lock?
The Emtek 3545 Mormont is built for a 1-3/4 inch door as standard, with thicker doors called out at order. Among mortise peers with a stated range, the Hager 3810E and 3810S passage locks cover 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches, the Hager 3850E office mortise lock covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches, and the Hager 3840S privacy lock covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches. The Baldwin 6301 is rated 1-3/4 inch and over. All four are 2-3/4 inch backset except the Baldwin 6301, which is 2-1/2 inch.
9) What mortise lock should I specify for a facility that needs an ANSI grade on the submittal instead of the Emtek 3545 Mormont?
The Emtek 3545 Mormont is a residential brass entry mortise set that is UL listed with a 180 minute fire rating in ANSI F20 or F13 function. Where a Grade 1 line item is required, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance/office mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock. For an anti-ligature requirement, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) What comes in the box with the Emtek Mormont mortise entrance set, and do I need to buy the latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: mortise lock body, latch and strike plate, plus the exterior Mormont trim and the inside knob or lever you select. Nothing extra is needed to make the lock work. What you do have to choose is the inside trim, since that is a required selection and the choices run from levers like the Stuttgart and Athena to crystal knobs like the Windsor and Bristol.
11) What finishes does the Emtek Mormont brass mortise entry set come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
Six finishes are offered: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Those are the standard US finish codes, so a US15 Mormont set sits next to any other US15 hardware in the building. Unlacquered brass is the one to watch: it has no clear coat and will patina with handling, which is intentional but will not stay matching a lacquered brass piece over time.
12) Is the Emtek Mormont mortise entry set the right choice for a commercial or institutional opening?
The Mormont is a residential brass entry set with decorative trim, aimed at homes and high-end multi-family unit doors. For a school, hospital or office corridor you want a Grade 1 commercial mortise lock instead. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 classroom mortise and the Cal-Royal NM8050 office/entrance mortise are both Grade 1 and built for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL from the 8800 Series covers storeroom function. Those take institutional abuse; the Mormont is specified for looks and feel.
13) What is a comparable decorative mortise entry lock if the Emtek Mormont trim is not the look I want?
For a similar decorative entry mortise at 2-1/2 inch backset, the Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock body is the closest peer, available knob by knob or lever by lever, rated for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. Baldwin also has the 6310 entry/storeroom body at the same 2-1/2 inch backset, which fits doors 1-3/8 inch and over if your door is thinner than the Mormont's 1-3/4 inch standard build.
14) Can I get the Emtek Mormont entry set with electronic or keypad access?
No. The Mormont is a purely mechanical keyed mortise set, no electronics. If you need code or credential access in a mortise prep, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 electronic mortise with 300 user codes for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch, and the Schlage CO-100 standalone keypad mortise lock is a Grade 1 option for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both replace the lock entirely rather than adding to the Mormont.
15) Can the Emtek Mormont mortise lock drop into an existing mortise pocket?
It's cut for standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1, so a door already mortised to that standard takes it without new machining, provided the backset matches. Confirm whether the existing pocket is 2-1/2 or 2-3/4 inch and order to match. The trim bore pattern and the cylinder location are what usually catch people out on a swap, so check the face plate and the existing trim footprint against the new escutcheon before you pull the old lock.
16) The Emtek 3545 Mormont requires handing - is there a mortise entry lock that does not?
Handing must be specified left or right on the Emtek 3545 Mormont, and it also comes in LHR and RHR for out-swing doors. If you would rather not commit to a hand at order, the BEST 45H heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function is field reversible, and the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock is field reversible as well. The Kaba Ilco 185 series mortise locks carry no handing. Those are commercial bodies rather than decorative brass sets, so the trim selection is different.
17) What should I use instead of the Emtek 3545 Mormont if the door does not need a key?
The Emtek 3545 Mormont is keyed with a single cylinder in entry function. For an unkeyed mortise opening, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick. For a bed or bath, the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt.
18) Can I use an electronic mortise lock in place of the Emtek 3545 Mormont on a rental unit?
The Emtek 3545 Mormont is a mechanical, non-electronic entry mortise set with a Schlage C keyway. Electronic mortise alternatives include the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy, a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066, an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. The Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override, no deadbolt. Note the door thickness ranges differ: the Emtek 3545 is built to 1-3/4 inch standard, while the DL3500CR tops out at 1-7/8 inch.
19) Is the Sargent 4874 a substitute for the Emtek 3545 Mormont mortise entrance lockset?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset - a deadbolt only, with no latch and no knob or lever trim. The Emtek 3545 Mormont is a complete entry set that includes the latch and strike plate and takes a knob, crystal, porcelain, or lever inside trim. The Kaba Ilco 185 is likewise a deadbolt function mortise lock, not an entrance lockset. If you want a deadbolt alongside the handle set rather than in place of it, that is a separate part.
20) Does the Schlage L0170 work as a lower cost version of the Emtek 3545 Mormont for a door that does not lock?
The Schlage L0170 is a half dummy trim, a Grade 1 mortise non-keyed lever lock in the L Series for 1-3/4 inch doors - it is trim on one face with no latch and no operating mechanism, for a fixed door leaf. The Emtek 3545 Mormont is a keyed entry set with a latch and strike plate. For a working door that latches but does not lock, the Schlage PM010 Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock is the functional part rather than the dummy.
21) Is the Schlage PC10 an alternative to the Emtek 3545 Mormont?
The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with rose, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. It is a cylindrical lock, so it fits a bored door prep, not the mortise pocket. The Emtek 3545 Mormont is a mortise lock using the standard mortise door prep to ANSI A115.1. Swapping between the two means changing the door prep, not just the hardware. Within mortise and non-keyed, the Schlage PM010 is the direct passage counterpart.
22) I want a decorative brass mortise entry set but with a storeroom action rather than entry - what are my options?
The Emtek 3545 Mormont is offered in F20 entrance and F13 dormitory functions. For storeroom action, the Baldwin 6310 is an entry/storeroom mortise lock body, knob by knob, on a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over, and the Baldwin 6310190RRLS is the right hand reverse lever by lever version of the same. On the commercial side, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option.
23) The Emtek 3545 uses a Schlage C keyway - which comparable mortise locks let me keep a key system instead of moving to codes or cards?
The Emtek 3545 Mormont is keyed on a Schlage C keyway and can be ordered keyed alike or keyed different, with keying to code available. Among mechanical peers, the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom, the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom with interchangeable core option, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 classroom are all keyed mechanical mortise locksets. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with a round knob, both built for a 1 inch door.
24) Which mortise lock do I use for an access controlled door where the Emtek 3545 Mormont cannot be wired?
The Emtek 3545 Mormont is a mechanical entry mortise set with no electronic option. For a wired opening, the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V, and the Command Access ML190 is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC. The Schlage L9092EU 03A is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit, 12/24VDC, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
25) Can I put a crystal or porcelain knob on the inside of the Emtek Mormont entry set?
Yes, the inside trim is your choice across brass knobs, levers and crystal or porcelain knobs. Crystal options include the Bristol, Windsor, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Diamond, Georgetown, Hampton, Lowell, Old Town and Providence knobs, plus Ebony and Ice White porcelain. Levers run from contemporary shapes like the T-Bar and L-Square families through traditional patterns such as the Rope and Ribbon and Reed. For a door that has to meet accessible operation requirements, choose a lever rather than a knob.
26) I ordered a Sargent 130KB thinking it would replace an Emtek 3545 Mormont - what is the difference?
The Sargent 130KB is a standard mortise thumbturn from the 8200 series, and the Sargent 130W is a mortise thumbturn with a round backplate. Both are thumbturn trim pieces that mount to an existing mortise lock body - they are not lock bodies themselves. The Emtek 3545 Mormont is a complete mortise entrance lockset including the latch and strike plate, keyed single cylinder. Ordering a thumbturn will leave you without a lock case.
