Emtek 4221-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does double cylinder mean on the Emtek 4221 Wilshire, and is it the right choice for my front door?
Double cylinder means a key is required on both sides of the deadbolt, inside and out. That is the usual pick when there is glass in or beside the door and a thumbturn could be reached through it. The tradeoff is egress: you have to keep a key inside to get out. If that is a concern, the single cylinder version of the same Wilshire trim with an inside thumbturn is the alternative.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Emtek Wilshire 4221 handleset?
Handing is required on the 4221, left or right. It matters most when you choose a lever for the inside trim, since a lever has to point the correct way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is a right hand door. Both RH and LH are orderable.
3) Can I key the Emtek 4221 Wilshire into my existing house keys?
Two keyways are offered. Standard is Schlage C, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available at no upcharge if the rest of your house is on a Weiser system, which lets it key into that existing system. Keyed alike or keyed different is selected at order, and you can supply an existing key code if you want it cut to match.
4) Does the Emtek Wilshire handleset come with the interior knob or lever, or do I buy that separately?
It is sold as a complete set including the latch and strike plate, and the inside trim is chosen as part of the order. You pick any Emtek brass knob or lever, from plain Round and Octagon knobs to crystal options like Windsor and Georgetown, or levers such as Luzern, Milano and Rope. Nothing else is needed to hang it beyond the door prep itself.
5) Which backset should I order with the Emtek Wilshire handleset?
The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset; specify 2-3/4 inch if that is what your door is bored for. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the large bore. If you would rather not commit, some competing sets such as the Sure-Loc Aspen and Alta handlesets use an adjustable backset latch instead.
6) Which handleset should I buy if my door is thicker than 2 inches?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Weslock 1411 is a single cylinder mechanical set; the Yale is an electronic touchscreen deadbolt set rather than a keyed-both-sides mechanical handleset.
7) What is the closest double cylinder alternative to the Emtek 4221 Wilshire handleset?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire is a double cylinder entrance handleset, meaning it is keyed from both the outside and the inside. The closest double cylinder alternative from another brand is the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim, which is also an entrance function double cylinder set. The key difference is construction: the 4221 Wilshire is a tubular lock designed for a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, while the Baldwin 6542 Tremont is mortise trim and is listed for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. If the door is already prepped for a bored tubular lock, the Emtek 4221 drops into that prep; the Baldwin requires a mortise pocket.
8) I have to key the new handleset into an existing Kwikset SmartKey system. Is the Emtek 4221 the right choice?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard and can be ordered with a Weiser WR5 keyway at no cylinder upcharge, so it keys into an existing Schlage C or Weiser system. It does not use Kwikset SmartKey. For a SmartKey system, the Kwikset 687 Amador single cylinder handleset with SmartKey or the Kwikset 687 Belleview with SmartKey are the matching sets, both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors; the 687 Amador is also offered in an SC1 keyway SmartKey version.
9) What finishes does the Emtek 4221 Wilshire handleset come in?
Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4) and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one to choose if you want a living finish that patinas; the Lifetime versions are the ones that hold their look. A split finish (different outside and inside) can also be specified.
10) I need a double cylinder entry handleset but not a tubular one. What else is there?
If you want mortise rather than tubular, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is a double cylinder entry mortise trim, though it is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors only, while the Emtek Wilshire 4221 tubular set takes 1-3/8 through 2 inch. Mortise means a pocket routed into the door edge rather than two bored holes, so it is not a swap into an existing tubular prep.
11) Is there a handleset with the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range as the Emtek 4221 Wilshire?
Yes. The Emtek 4221 Wilshire covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset lists the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset also list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek 4221 differs in function - it is keyed on both sides - while the Weslock 2810 is single cylinder and the 6695 Belmont is a non-latching dummy set.
12) What are the solid brass alternatives to the Emtek 4221 Wilshire handleset?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire is a brass tubular handleset built on a brass substrate. Other solid brass entry handlesets include the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston, all solid brass entry function handlesets, plus the Deltana 810871 Montego, which lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range matching the 4221. Those Deltana sets are entry function; the Emtek 4221 is the double cylinder version keyed on both sides.
13) What should I use instead of the Emtek 4221 if I want keypad or app entry on the front door?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset keyed on both sides. For electronic access with a handleset, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and ships with the RCAL latch and RCS strike for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen operation with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free touchscreen version with the Ridgefield passage handleset.
14) What is a simpler alternative to the Emtek 4221 if I only need the handleset look and no lock?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire is a keyed entrance set with a cylinder on each side. If you need the handleset appearance on an inactive door, a French door slave leaf, or a closet, a dummy handleset is the substitute: the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function and list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness. A non-keyed option with a working latch is the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever, which is non-keyed entry function.
15) Does the Emtek 4221 Wilshire carry an ANSI grade, and which handlesets do?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire is a residential brass tubular handleset. If your spec calls for a stated ANSI/BHMA grade, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona are Grade 2, and the Master Lock HDLB series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 as well. The Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview exterior-only handlesets are Grade 3. None of those are double cylinder, so if keyed-both-sides is the requirement, the Emtek 4221 or the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder mortise trim are the functional matches.
16) Which handleset can I order if I do not know the backset on the door yet?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard and requires you to specify 2-3/4 inch if that is what the door is bored for, so the backset has to be decided at order. If you need one part that covers either bore, the Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 keyed entry handleset, the Sure-Loc Alta AT507 tubular handleset, the Sure-Loc Coral CR507, and the Sure-Loc Madison MA507 are all handlesets with an adjustable backset.
17) Is the Kwikset 687 Amador a substitute for the Emtek 4221 Wilshire?
Not a direct one. The Emtek 4221 Wilshire is sold as a complete set including the latch and strike plate and is ordered with your choice of interior brass knob or lever trim. The Kwikset 687 Amador single cylinder handleset is an exterior-only trim, so the interior side has to be sourced separately, and it is single cylinder rather than keyed on both sides. The same applies to the Kwikset 687 Belleview, which is also an exterior-only single cylinder handleset.
18) Do I need to specify handing on competing handlesets the way the Emtek 4221 requires it?
The Emtek 4221 Wilshire requires handing when a lever is used on the inside, so left or right hand must be stated at order along with the interior knob or lever style. Sets sold as a fixed knob-and-handle combination avoid that step - for example the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Carnaby knob are ordered as one entrance-function assembly with the knob already paired, as is the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob.
