Emtek 4224-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does double cylinder mean on the Emtek 4224, and is it right for a door with glass?
Double cylinder means it takes a key on both sides. There is no thumbturn inside, so nobody can reach through broken or adjacent glass and turn the lock open. That is the usual reason people pick it for glass front doors and sidelights. The tradeoff is that you need a key to get out, which is not acceptable everywhere for egress, so check your local code before specifying it on a primary exit. If you want a thumbturn inside instead, order the single cylinder version of the Hercules handleset rather than the 4224.
2) Do I have to specify handing when I order the Emtek 4224 handleset?
Yes, and it is a required selection. Handing is called out for the 4224 whenever a lever is used on the inside trim or an interconnect device is specified, and left hand or right hand is a required choice on the order. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand. Get this wrong with a lever inside and the lever points the wrong way.
3) Which backset does the Emtek 4224 come with, and what if my door is bored 2-3/4?
The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset. If your door is prepped at 2-3/4 inches, specify that backset on the order and the correct latch comes in the set. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bore before you order; there is no adjustable latch here, you pick one.
4) Can I key the Emtek 4224 into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Standard cylinders on the 4224 are Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. If your house or building runs Weiser, order the Weiser WR5 keyway version instead by adding a W to the front of the product code. There is no upcharge for the cylinder substitution and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike and keyed different are both offered, and you can supply a key code on the order.
5) Is the Emtek 4224 a mortise or tubular handleset?
Tubular. The 4224 Hercules is a bored tubular set, so it installs into standard 2-1/8 inch cross bores rather than a routed mortise pocket in the door edge. That matters if you are replacing a mortise handleset: you would be leaving an open mortise pocket behind and this will not cover it. Going the other way, from a tubular set to this one, is straightforward.
6) I need a handleset for a 2-1/4 inch thick door. Will the Emtek 4224 work?
No. The 4224 Hercules tops out at 2 inches. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and several Yale Assure handleset combinations run to 2-1/4 inches as well.
7) What is a comparable solid brass entry handleset if the Emtek 4224 Hercules is not the right look?
The Emtek 4224 Hercules is a brass tubular entrance handleset in a contemporary style. For a similar solid brass entry handleset in a different design, Deltana offers several: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston are all solid brass handlesets in entry function. The Deltana 810871 Montego covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, matching the range the 4224 Hercules covers. The Emtek differs in that it accepts a wide range of brass knob and lever styles for the interior trim and is offered in a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway.
8) I need a single cylinder handleset instead of double cylinder - what should I order?
The Emtek 4224 Hercules is a double cylinder entrance handleset, meaning it is keyed on both the outside and the inside. If you want a thumbturn on the interior instead, single cylinder handlesets in the comparable range include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever, a Grade 2 entrance handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob, single cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors; and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington in satin nickel for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Double cylinder is often chosen where there is glass near the lock; check your local egress code before substituting.
9) Is the Baldwin 6542 Tremont a drop-in substitute for the Emtek 4224 Hercules double cylinder handleset?
No. The Emtek 4224 Hercules is a tubular lock using a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep and a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder is mortise entry trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, which requires a mortise pocket cut into the door edge rather than bored holes. They share the double cylinder entrance function but not the door prep, so one will not drop into the other's opening.
10) What comes in the box with the Emtek 4224 handleset, and do I need to buy the inside knob separately?
It ships as a complete set including the latch and strike plate. The inside trim is not preselected, though: you choose a knob or lever from Emtek's brass range as part of the order, from levers like Hercules, Athena, Helios and Stuttgart to knobs like Ace, Orb, Round and crystal options such as Windsor and Bristol. Pick the interior trim and the finish and you have everything needed to hang the set.
11) Is the Emtek 4224 handleset suitable for a commercial entrance?
It is a residential product, solid brass, in a contemporary style. For light residential and high-end multifamily front doors it fits. For a commercial opening that needs a graded lockset, look at a Grade 2 option instead, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset or the Master Lock HDLB Series Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset.
12) What else could I use if I need a double cylinder entry set but not a tubular one?
For a mortise-prepped door, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the double cylinder equivalent in a mortise format, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors only. Note the narrower thickness coverage compared with the Hercules 4224, which spans 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Most other handlesets in this class, including the Deltana Hanover and Kingston solid brass sets and the Kwikset Amador, are single cylinder entry, so they will not give you a key on the inside.
13) What is the keyless or electronic alternative to the Emtek 4224 Hercules handleset?
The 4224 Hercules is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset keyed in Schlage C or Weiser WR5. For a keypad or app-controlled opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and Yale Real Living offers the BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt plus Ridgefield handleset, or the BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen version, both for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Note that electronic deadbolts are keyed or key-free on the exterior only, so they will not give you the interior key control that double cylinder provides.
14) Does the Emtek 4224 Hercules handleset fit a 1-3/4 inch door, or do I need a different model for thicker doors?
The Emtek 4224 Hercules covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, so a 1-3/4 inch door is within range. If your door is thicker than 2 inches, look at handlesets rated past that: the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
15) What handleset should I use on an interior or closet door that does not need a key, if I want a look similar to the 4224?
The Emtek 4224 Hercules is keyed on both sides and is intended for an entrance opening. For a non-keyed door, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and for a fully inoperative trim there are dummy handlesets such as the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob, both covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
16) Which handleset has a graded ANSI rating if my spec calls for one, since the Emtek 4224 is a residential brass set?
The Emtek 4224 Hercules Hercules handleset is a brass residential product. Where a project spec calls for a stated grade, the Master Lock 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 single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3. All of those are single cylinder rather than double cylinder.
17) I do not know my backset yet - is there a handleset that works with either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 without specifying?
The Emtek 4224 Hercules ships standard for a 2-3/8 inch backset and you specify 2-3/4 inch if the door is bored that way, so the backset has to be called out at time of order. If you would rather adjust it in the field, Sure-Loc offers handlesets with an adjustable backset, including the Aspen AN507 keyed entry, the Alta AT507 tubular, the Madison MA507 keyed entry, and the Coral CR507.
18) Can I order the Kwikset 687AMD as the exterior half and use my own interior trim, the way the Emtek 4224 lets me pick a knob or lever?
They work differently. The Emtek 4224 Hercules is sold as a complete set including latch and strike plate, and you select the inside knob or lever style as part of the order from the brass knob and lever range. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is offered as exterior only, in both the SmartKey version and the SC1 keyway SmartKey version, so the interior side is a separate purchase. Handing also has to be specified on the Emtek if a lever is used inside.
19) What is the difference between the Emtek 4224 handleset and an interconnected lock like the Schlage JI18/19?
The Emtek 4224 Hercules is a bored tubular entrance handleset with a double cylinder keyed function and a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino lever in satin stainless steel is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, where turning the interior lever retracts both the latch and the deadbolt in one motion. That single-motion egress is typically what drives the choice toward an interconnected set on a multi-family or rental unit door.
20) What finishes does the Emtek 4224 Hercules handleset come in?
Eight finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and US7. Worth knowing before you commit: Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will patina with handling and weather, while Polished Nickel Lifetime holds its appearance. Either keyway option is offered across the same eight finishes.
