Emtek 4218-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek 4218 Hercules handleset fit my door prep, or do I need to redrill?
The 4218 Hercules handleset uses the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore. If your existing entry set is on that same standard prep, it drops in without new boring. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches, so it covers a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door as well as thicker slabs.
2) What backset does the Emtek 4218 handleset come with, and can I get 2-3/4 inch?
Both. The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is an ordering option you select. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you order, because the latch is supplied to match, not adjusted in the field.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 4218 Hercules entry handleset?
Handing is required, left or right, on every order. It matters because the inside trim and any interconnect device have to be oriented to the door swing. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand. Get this wrong and the lever points the wrong way.
4) Can I key the Emtek 4218 handleset into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Standard cylinder is Schlage C keyway, and a Weiser WR5 keyway version is offered at no cylinder upcharge, which lets it be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike and keyed to code are both available at order time, so a landlord replacing several front doors can run them all on one key.
5) Which handleset should I use instead if the door is thicker than 2 inches?
The Emtek 4218 Hercules covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, if a keypad deadbolt suits the opening.
6) I want a keyless entry handleset instead of a keyed brass one - what are the options?
The Emtek 4218 Hercules is a keyed single cylinder handleset and is not electronic. For keypad entry on the same door, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim is a Wi-Fi function set for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt with an RCAL latch and RCS strike for 1-3/4 inch doors in the Signature Series.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek 4218 Hercules handleset for a 1-3/4 inch door where a Grade 2 rating is required?
The Emtek 4218 Hercules is a residential brass tubular single cylinder entry handleset with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. If a written spec calls for a graded lock, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 handleset in the F Series with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so it covers a 1-3/4 inch door and carries the grade. The Master Lock HDLB series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2 in an entrance function.
8) What is the difference between the Emtek 4218 handleset and Baldwin 6542 Tremont mortise trim?
The Emtek 4218 Hercules is a tubular lockset - it uses a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, which means the door must be pocketed for a mortise lock body rather than bored. They are not interchangeable in an existing door prep. Baldwin also offers the 6542 Tremont in a double cylinder entry version if the opening has glass near the lock.
9) Is the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington a direct swap for the Emtek 4218 in satin nickel?
The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in a satin nickel finish covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so it matches the 4218 on function and on satin nickel, which the Hercules offers as US15. The difference to check is thickness: the Emtek 4218 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so on a slab between 1-3/4 inch and 2 inch the Lexington is out of range. The Lexington also comes in the one finish, where the Hercules is offered in eight including oil rubbed bronze US10B, flat black US19 and unlacquered brass US3NL.
10) Is the Emtek 4218 a mortise handleset or a tubular one, and which should I use?
It is tubular, single cylinder, entry function. Tubular means it bores into the door face with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore rather than requiring a mortise pocket routed into the door edge, so it is the far easier retrofit on an existing residential door. Choose a mortise entry set instead only if the door is already prepped for one, since converting a tubular door to mortise means new edge machining.
11) Does the Emtek 4218 handleset lock the knob and the deadbolt together, or separately?
As supplied, the deadbolt and the inside trim operate independently. If you want the inside lever to retract the deadbolt in one motion, add the Emtek 443 Interconnect Device, which is an optional add-on to the order. Specifying it makes handing mandatory.
12) Single cylinder or double cylinder for a door with glass next to it?
The Emtek 4218 is single cylinder, meaning key outside and thumbturn inside. On a door with adjacent glass or a sidelite within arm's reach, some jurisdictions push toward a double cylinder so the bolt cannot be thrown from a broken pane. If a double cylinder is what you need, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is a double cylinder option, though it is mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, not a tubular set.
13) What is a simpler solid brass handleset alternative to the Emtek 4218 Hercules?
The Emtek 4218 Hercules is a knurled contemporary brass handleset ordered with a chosen inside knob or lever, handing, backset and keying. If you want a solid brass entry handleset supplied as a fixed configuration, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all solid brass entry function handlesets. The Deltana 810871 Montego covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door, matching the same door thickness range the 4218 fits.
14) Is a dummy handleset like the Weslock 2815 a substitute for the Emtek 4218?
No. The Emtek 4218 Hercules is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset sold complete with latch and strike plate. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob are dummy function - they are surface-mounted trim with no latch and no cylinder, used on an inactive leaf of a pair or on a door held by other hardware. Use a dummy only where nothing needs to latch or lock.
15) I need a handleset exterior trim only to key into an existing SmartKey system - what should I order?
The Emtek 4218 Hercules is sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate and uses a Schlage C keyway, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available in place of it. If you are matching a SmartKey system instead, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are exterior-only keyed entry trim with SmartKey, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors; the 687AMD is also offered with an SC1 keyway SmartKey cylinder.
16) What finishes does the Emtek 4218 Hercules handleset come in?
Eight: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Every one is available with either the Schlage or the Weiser keyway. Unlacquered brass will patina with handling, the others will not.
17) Which entry handlesets come as a fixed handle and knob pairing rather than letting me choose the inside trim?
The Emtek 4218 Hercules is ordered with the inside knob or lever specified separately, so the interior trim is a choice. If a set configuration is easier to spec across a portfolio, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered as a fixed pairing with the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob, both entrance function. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is a single cylinder handleset in the Premiere Essentials series for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the same door thickness range the 4218 covers.
