Emtek 4222-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek 4222 Melrose handleset fit a door that's already prepped for a standard entry lock?
If the door has the usual residential prep, yes. The Melrose 4222 uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the deadbolt bore and the knob bore, which is the common tubular handleset layout. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Backset is your choice of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you order.
2) What does double cylinder mean on the Emtek Melrose 4222, and is it allowed on my front door?
Double cylinder means it's keyed on both sides, so there is no thumbturn inside. You need a key to get out as well as in. People choose it for doors with glass next to or in the door, so an intruder can't break the glass and turn the lock. Be aware that many jurisdictions restrict double cylinder locks on required egress doors in dwellings, so check your local code. If you want a thumbturn inside, order the single cylinder version of the Melrose handleset instead.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Emtek 4222 Melrose handleset?
Handing is required on this one, right hand or left hand. The exterior grip set itself is symmetrical, but the inside trim drives it: if you pick a lever for the interior, the lever has to point the correct way. Stand outside the door, and if the hinges are on the right it's a right hand door. Order it wrong and the lever ends up upside down.
4) Can I key the Emtek Melrose 4222 into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are offered. Standard is the Schlage C keyway. If your house is on Weiser, order the Weiser (WR5) keyway version instead, at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. You can also request keyed alike across multiple locks, or supply a key code at the time of order.
5) What comes in the box with the Emtek 4222 Melrose handleset, and do I need to buy the inside knob separately?
It ships as a complete set including the latch and strike plate. The interior trim is not a fixed part of the set, it's a choice you make when ordering: any Emtek brass knob or lever can be paired with it, from Round, Egg and Providence knobs through Cortina, Milano and Rope levers to crystal knobs like Windsor and Georgetown. You pick the interior style, the finish and the backset on the same order, so nothing extra needs sourcing to hang the lock.
6) Do I order a 2-3/8 or a 2-3/4 backset for the Emtek 4222 Melrose?
The standard latch shipped with the Melrose is 2-3/8 inch, so specify 2-3/4 inch if that's what your door needs. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bored hole. On residential doors 2-3/8 inch is typical of a 1-3/8 inch interior-style prep and narrower stiles, while 2-3/4 inch shows up more on heavier exterior doors. Get it wrong and the latch won't reach the strike.
7) Which handlesets besides the Emtek 4222 Melrose will fit a 2 inch thick door?
The Emtek 4222 Melrose covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch door thickness. Among comparable handlesets, the Deltana 810871 Montego lists the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder and Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. By contrast the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington stop at 1-3/4 inch, so they will not cover a full 2 inch door.
8) What is the closest double cylinder entry handleset to the Emtek 4222 Melrose if I need one from another brand?
The Emtek 4222 Melrose is a double cylinder entrance handleset, meaning it is keyed on both the exterior and the interior. The nearest double cylinder peer is the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim. The key difference is the lock body behind the trim: the Emtek 4222 is a tubular lock with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep, while the Baldwin 6542 is mortise trim, which requires a mortise pocket in the door edge. The Baldwin 6542 double cylinder lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, where the Emtek 4222 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) I do not want a key on the inside - what should I order instead of the Emtek 4222?
The Emtek 4222 Melrose is a double cylinder set, so it takes a key on both sides. If you want the interior to operate without a key, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the single cylinder counterpart in that family, and among tubular options the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob are both single cylinder entry sets. Note the Baldwin 6542 is mortise trim rather than a tubular lock, so it needs a mortise pocket rather than the 2-1/8 inch cross bore the Emtek 4222 uses.
10) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick - what handleset should I use instead of the Emtek 4222 Melrose?
The Emtek 4222 Melrose is rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, so a 2-1/4 inch door is outside its range. Handlesets that reach 2-1/4 inches include the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder handleset with Eleganti knob, which lists 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt sets with the Ridgefield handleset, listed at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. All of these are single cylinder or keyless electronic rather than double cylinder.
11) What finishes does the Emtek Melrose double cylinder handleset come in?
Ten: 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 know about, it is left raw and will patina over time rather than staying bright. If you want the exterior and interior in different finishes, a split finish can be specified on the order.
12) Is the Emtek 4222 Melrose handleset rated for a commercial entrance?
No. The Melrose 4222 is a residential handleset, solid brass, tubular latch construction. For a commercial opening you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 device. Among the handlesets we carry, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series carry a Grade 2 rating, though those are still residential-duty products. A true commercial entrance should be specified as a mortise or cylindrical lockset rather than a decorative tubular handleset.
13) What's the difference between the Emtek Melrose tubular handleset and a mortise entry handleset like the Baldwin Estates 6542?
Construction and door prep. The Melrose 4222 is tubular: it drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch bored hole with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center layout, and it fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is mortise trim, which requires a rectangular pocket cut into the door edge and lists a single 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Tubular is the easier retrofit on an existing bored door. Mortise is heavier duty and is what you spec when the door is already mortise prepped.
14) I'm doing several exterior doors on one house. Can I get the Emtek Melrose handlesets all on one key?
Yes. Keyed alike is a no-cost option at the time of order, so multiple Melrose 4222 sets can all run on the same key. If you're adding to an existing system, you can supply the key code on the order, or pick the Weiser WR5 keyway to key into an existing Weiser system. Default is keyed different if you don't specify.
15) Is there a handleset with a stated ANSI grade if the Emtek 4222 Melrose does not fit my spec?
If your spec calls out a graded residential handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is Grade 2, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3. All four are single cylinder rather than the double cylinder function of the Emtek 4222 Melrose, so if a key is required on the interior side the graded options change the function as well.
16) Can I swap a Kwikset 687 Amador exterior handleset in place of an Emtek 4222 Melrose?
They are not interchangeable as ordered. The Kwikset 687 Amador is a single cylinder handleset supplied as exterior trim only, and it lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Emtek 4222 Melrose is a double cylinder set sold complete with latch and strike plate, and the interior side is ordered as a brass knob or lever of your choosing. The 4222 also requires handing to be specified when a lever is used inside, and uses the Schlage C keyway as standard with a Weiser WR5 option; the Kwikset 687 is offered with SmartKey, including an SC1 keyway version.
17) I need a matching non-keyed handleset for a second door - what pairs with an Emtek 4222 Melrose installation?
The Emtek 4222 Melrose is a keyed double cylinder entrance set. For an opening that does not need a key, comparable non-keyed handlesets include the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever, which is a non-keyed entry function, and dummy handlesets such as the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob. Dummy sets have no latch operation at all, so use those only on an inactive leaf or a door held by other hardware.
18) What if I want keypad or smart entry instead of the keyed Emtek 4222 Melrose?
The Emtek 4222 Melrose is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset. For an electronic option in a handleset format, the Kwikset 815 San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey cylinder, RCAL latch and RCS strike, on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Yale Real Living Assure Lock sets with the Ridgefield handleset are offered as a standalone touchscreen deadbolt, as a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version, and as a key-free touchscreen version. The key-free Yale options remove the cylinder entirely, which is the opposite of the double cylinder function on the Emtek 4222.
19) Which handlesets let me order one backset instead of committing to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 like the Emtek 4222?
The Emtek 4222 Melrose ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard, with 2-3/4 inch specified at order if required. If you would rather stock a single part that covers either bore, the Sure-Loc handlesets are built with an adjustable backset, including the Aspen single cylinder keyed entry, the Madison keyed entry, the Alta tubular, and the Coral. That matters most when you are buying for a fleet of doors and cannot confirm each backset in advance.
20) Is an interconnected lock like the Schlage JI18/19 the same thing as an Emtek 4222 Melrose handleset?
No. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, listed as passage function on a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek 4222 Melrose is a tubular entrance handleset with double cylinder function, keyed on both sides, on a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep. If the existing door has an interconnected prep the 4222 will not drop into it, and vice versa.
21) What is the Emtek Melrose handleset made of, and how will the finish hold up outdoors?
Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. Brass is a good choice on an exterior door because it doesn't rust. Two of the finishes behave differently over time: Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) and Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14) are the lifetime coatings that stay bright, while Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is intentionally uncoated and will darken and patina with weather and handling. Oil Rubbed Bronze and French Antique are living finishes that also change with wear.
22) Are there other solid brass entry handlesets comparable to the Emtek 4222 Melrose?
The Emtek 4222 Melrose is a solid brass tubular handleset offered in ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, Polished Brass Lifetime US3, Satin Brass US4 and French Antique US7. Other solid brass entry handlesets include the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston, all listed as entry function in solid brass. A practical difference in ordering is that the Emtek 4222 lets you choose the interior knob or lever separately and offers a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder.
