Emtek 4212-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What comes in the box with an Emtek 4212 Melrose handleset, and what else do I need to buy?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included, plus the keyed exterior handleset and the inside trim. The one thing you have to choose rather than receive by default is the interior knob or lever, which is a required selection from Emtek's brass knob and lever range (Melon, Providence, Waverly, Rope, Cortina, Milano, Athena and dozens more). No separate deadbolt purchase is needed, since this is a single cylinder entrance function.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Melrose entrance handleset?
Handing is a required choice, left or right, on every 4212 order. It matters most if you are putting a lever on the inside instead of a knob, or if you are adding the interconnect device, since both are handed parts. Stand outside the door: the side the hinges are on is the hand.
3) Is the Emtek Melrose 4212 a mortise handleset or a tubular one?
Tubular. The 4212 Melrose uses a bored 2-1/8" cross bore prep with a tubular latch, not a mortise pocket routed into the door edge. That matters when you are replacing an existing lock: a tubular handleset drops into standard bored prep and can be installed with a hole saw and chisel, while a mortise handleset needs a deep rectangular pocket machined into the door edge. If your door already has a mortise lock body in it, this is not a straight swap.
4) Which entry handlesets will not fit a 1-3/8 inch door where the Emtek 4212 Melrose will?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Several handlesets that look like direct substitutes start at 1-3/4 inch and will not land on a thin slab. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets both list 1-3/4 inch, as does the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob lists 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. On a 1-3/8 inch door, the 4212 is the one of that group that fits.
5) Is the Emtek 4212 Melrose an ANSI grade rated handleset for a commercial opening?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose is a residential tubular entry handleset. Where a job calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade on the schedule, the Master Lock HDLB series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview handlesets are Grade 3. An MRO or institutional buyer working to a graded spec should select from those; a buyer specifying the 4212 is buying it for residential entry service and brass construction.
6) Which handleset works on a 2-1/4 inch thick door, since the Emtek 4212 Melrose tops out at 2 inches?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Heavy custom entry doors frequently exceed 2 inches, so the thickness range is the first thing to confirm on that kind of opening.
7) What is a comparable solid brass entry handleset to the Emtek 4212 Melrose if the Melrose grip style is not wanted?
The Deltana 815871 St. Ann and Deltana 825871 Kingston are both solid brass entry handlesets, as is the Deltana 803871B Hanover. All three carry an entry function, the same function the Emtek 4212 Melrose serves, and the 4212 is built in brass. The difference is the grip and rosette styling of each series rather than the lock function, so a buyer replacing a brass entry handleset for appearance reasons can move between them and keep the same keyed entry operation.
8) The Emtek 4212 Melrose fits a 1-3/8 inch door. What other handlesets cover that same thin door?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness. Among handlesets covering the thin end of that range, the Deltana 810871 Montego lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington lists 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Any of these will land on a 1-3/8 inch door, which matters on older residential entries where the slab is thinner than the modern 1-3/4 inch standard.
9) What handleset should be used instead of the Emtek 4212 Melrose on a door that does not need to be keyed?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset. On an opening that only needs the look of a handleset with no lock, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob are both dummy function and cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, the same range the 4212 covers. If the door needs to latch but not lock, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry handleset covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
10) What is the difference between the Emtek 4212 Melrose and a mortise entry handleset trim like the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose is a tubular lock, installed into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is mortise trim and lists 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the same 6542 Tremont is offered as double cylinder entry mortise trim. Mortise trim requires a mortise pocket routed into the edge of the door rather than a bored hole, so the two are not interchangeable on an already prepped door - a contractor confirming what is cut into the slab should check for a pocket before ordering either.
11) Which handleset takes an electronic keypad or smart lock instead of a keyed cylinder like the Emtek 4212 Melrose uses?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset with a keyed cylinder in a Schlage C keyway. For an opening that needs code or phone access, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs the handleset with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and lists 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset over 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same Ridgefield pairing. A property manager who wants to stop issuing keys across a fleet is choosing between those; the 4212 stays keyed.
12) I need matching front doors across a whole building. Can Emtek Melrose handlesets be keyed alike?
Yes, and the keying is free. Order multiple 4212 sets keyed alike and they run on one key, or supply your existing key code and they will be cut to that system. With the Schlage C cylinder they drop into an existing Schlage-keyed property; specify the Weiser WR5 option instead and they key into an existing Weiser system at no cylinder upcharge. The finish stays consistent across the fleet since all ten finishes are offered on both keyway options.
13) Is the Emtek 4212 Melrose handleset solid brass or plated pot metal?
Solid brass. The 4212 is part of Emtek's Brass collection, with brass as both the stated material and substrate, which is why finishes like Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) are offered on it and will patina naturally over time. Ten finishes are available: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Pewter, Flat Black, Polished Chrome, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Satin Brass, and French Antique.
14) What does single cylinder mean on the Emtek 4212, and can I get it double cylinder?
Single cylinder means keyed from the outside only, with a thumbturn on the inside. That is the standard entry setup and the one required by most residential codes on doors with glass nearby is worth checking locally, since a double cylinder needs a key on both sides. Note that the optional Emtek 443 interconnect device is not available on double cylinder configurations, so if you want the interconnect (one motion to retract latch and deadbolt from inside), single cylinder is the configuration to order.
15) Can I get one-motion egress on an Emtek Melrose handleset for a rental unit?
Yes, by adding the Emtek 443 Interconnect Device as an option on the 4212. It links the deadbolt and the interior lever or knob so one turn retracts both from inside. Handing must be specified when the interconnect is ordered, since the device is handed. It cannot be combined with a double cylinder setup.
16) Can a Kwikset 687AMD Amador be used as a drop-in replacement for the Emtek 4212 Melrose?
Not on every door. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is sold as exterior only, and both the SMT version and the 687AMD SMC version list 1-3/4 inch door thickness with Grade 3. The Emtek 4212 Melrose is a complete set that includes latch and strike plate, takes a knob or lever of choice for the inside trim, and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. An exterior-only handleset assumes the interior trim is already handled, so a buyer replacing a full set needs to account for inside trim separately.
17) What is an alternative to the Emtek 4212 Melrose with the Emtek 443 interconnect device for a single-motion egress opening?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose can be ordered with the Emtek 443 interconnect device, and handing must be specified when an interconnect device is used. As a separate product, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, in the JI series, Grade 2, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Schlage arrives as an interconnected unit in a lever-and-deadbolt format, while the Emtek route keeps the brass handleset grip and adds the interconnect to it.
18) Which entry handlesets pair the exterior grip with an interior knob the way the Emtek 4212 Melrose does?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose is sold as a complete set and the inside trim can be any brass knob or lever, including options such as the Providence knob, Egg knob or Victoria knob. Among handlesets sold as a fixed grip-and-knob pairing, the Baldwin Wesley handleset comes matched with the Alcott knob and also with the Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest comes with the Hudson knob. The Emtek approach lets the interior knob or lever be selected at order time rather than being fixed by the part number, which matters when matching interior trim already running through a house.
19) What is the difference between the Emtek 4212 Melrose and the Yale Assure BYRD256 Ridgefield passage handleset?
The Emtek 4212 Melrose is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset in a Schlage C keyway with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available at no upcharge for keying into an existing Weiser system. The Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX is an Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim connected by August, running Wi-Fi and covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Its handleset side is passage, with the locking handled entirely by the key free touchscreen deadbolt, so there is no cylinder to key into an existing system.
20) Can I order the Emtek 4212 with a different finish inside than outside?
Yes. Split finish is offered as an option on the 4212, so the exterior handleset can be one finish and the interior knob or lever another. That is how you match a black or bronze exterior to the street while keeping polished nickel or unlacquered brass on the inside to match the rest of the interior hardware. Ten finishes are available on each side, from Oil Rubbed Bronze and Flat Black through Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel and Pewter.
