Emtek 4225-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness does the Emtek 4225 handleset work on?
It covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, so a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door is well inside range, and so are thicker custom doors up to 2 inches. Door thickness is something you state when you order.
2) What does double cylinder mean on the Emtek 4225, and is it right for a door with glass?
Double cylinder means it takes a key on both sides, inside and out, so there is no thumbturn to reach through a glass panel or sidelite. That is exactly why people pick it on glazed or partly glazed entry doors. The trade-off is you need a key to get out, which some local codes restrict on a primary egress door. If you want a thumbturn inside, order the single cylinder version of the Hercules handleset instead.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 4225 Hercules handleset?
Yes, handing is required, left or right. It matters because the inside trim can be a lever, and a lever has to swing the correct way. Even with a knob inside you will be asked for handing at order, and it is also required if an interconnect device is specified. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand.
4) Can I key the Emtek 4225 into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Standard cylinders are Schlage C keyway, so a locksmith can key it into an existing Schlage C system. A Weiser WR5 keyway version is also offered at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike and keyed different are both options, and you can supply a key code at order.
5) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick. The Emtek 4225 Hercules will not fit, so what handleset will?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules handleset is built for 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors. 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 as a single cylinder keyed entry. On the electronic side, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock Standalone Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both of those swap the double cylinder function of the 4225 for a different arrangement, so confirm the interior locking method suits the opening.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek 4225 Hercules handleset if I need a double cylinder entrance set that is not Emtek?
The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the double cylinder entrance option among the comparable handlesets. The key difference is the lock platform: the Emtek 4225 Hercules 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 Tremont is mortise trim and is listed for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek 4225 covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors. If the door is already prepped for a tubular bore, the Emtek stays in prep; the Baldwin requires a mortise pocket.
7) I need a key on the inside for a door with glass sidelights. Which handlesets besides the Emtek 4225 give me that?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules is a double cylinder entrance handleset, meaning it is keyed on both the exterior and the interior, which is the usual choice next to glass. Among the comparable handlesets, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the other double cylinder set. The Baldwin 6542 is also offered as the 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim, so confirm which of the two you are ordering. Most of the other handlesets in this class, including the Kwikset 687 Amador, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest and the Schlage F60 Addison, are single cylinder, with a thumbturn on the inside.
8) I key my buildings on Schlage C. Which handlesets match the Emtek 4225 Hercules on keyway?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules ships Schlage C keyway as standard and can be ordered in the Weiser WR5 keyway by adding a W to the product code, with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution and the ability to key into an existing Weiser system. Among the comparables, the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador is the one with a stated keyway, an SC1 keyway SmartKey cylinder, while the Kwikset 687AMD SMT and 687BW Belleview are SmartKey. Since the Emtek 4225 is double cylinder, both the exterior and interior cylinders fall into whichever keyway you specify.
9) Can I pick a different interior knob or lever with the Hercules handleset?
Yes, and you have to pick one. Any Emtek brass knob or lever works as inside trim, from contemporary options like the Stuttgart and Helios levers, Ace and Spoke knobs, and the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar series, through traditional Victoria, Rope and Ribbon and Reed, plus crystal knobs like Windsor and Georgetown. That is how you make the entry door match the interior levers already in the house.
10) Is the Emtek 4225 a mortise handleset or a tubular one?
Tubular. It uses the standard 2-1/8 inch bored prep rather than a mortise pocket routed into the door edge, which makes it far easier to retrofit into an existing door and considerably cheaper to install. If you need a mortise body with a true deadbolt and latch in one case, that is a different Emtek family, and comparable mortise trim would be something like the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder mortise trim.
11) Is the Emtek Hercules handleset suitable for a commercial entrance?
It is classed residential. Solid brass construction and a full complement of finishes make it a front door or high-end multi-family unit door product, not a rated commercial opening device. For a graded product in a similar handleset format, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is listed Grade 2, and Master Lock's HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2.
12) What are the alternatives to the Emtek 4225 if I need a thicker door or a single cylinder?
For a door over 2 inches thick the 4225 runs out of range; the Weslock 1411 Traditionale colonial handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, as do the Yale Assure Lock handlesets with the Ridgefield trim. If 1-3/8 to 2 inches suits you but you want a thumbturn inside instead of a second key cylinder, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset or the Deltana 810871 Montego cover the same thickness range.
13) What is a simpler single cylinder handleset for a door that does not need an interior key?
For an interior thumbturn instead of a second cylinder, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 F Series set listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek 4225 Hercules is keyed on both sides as a double cylinder set, so if the interior key is not wanted, one of the single cylinder sets is the match. Note the door thickness ranges differ: the Emtek 4225 runs 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, same as the Weslock 2810, while the Schlage F60 stops at 1-3/4 inch.
14) Is a Kwikset 687 Amador handleset a drop-in substitute for the Emtek 4225 Hercules?
They are not equivalents. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is a single cylinder handleset sold as exterior only, meaning the interior trim is bought separately, and it is listed for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek 4225 Hercules is a double cylinder set sold complete with latch and strike plate, with the inside knob or lever chosen as part of the order, and it fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Amador is also offered in two cylinder versions, SmartKey and an SC1 keyway SmartKey, while the Emtek 4225 is Schlage C standard with a Weiser WR5 option.
15) What handleset should I use instead of the Emtek 4225 if I want keypad or app entry on the front door?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset. For electronic entry with a handleset grip, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door, and 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. Both replace the interior cylinder of the 4225 with an electronic deadbolt, so a key on the inside is no longer part of the arrangement.
16) Which solid brass handlesets are comparable to the Emtek 4225 Hercules?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules is brass in both material and substrate, with a smooth monolithic grip in a contemporary style. Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets in the same material class: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass. Deltana also lists the 810871 Montego Handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, matching the door thickness range of the Emtek 4225. The difference to weigh is function: the 4225 is double cylinder, keyed inside and out.
17) The Emtek 4225 requires a backset choice. Which handlesets have an adjustable backset instead?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard and a 2-3/4 inch backset must be specified at order. If you would rather carry one latch that covers both, the Sure-Loc Aspen AN507, Alta AT507, Coral CR507 and Madison MA507 handlesets are all listed with an adjustable backset. The trade-off is function: the Sure-Loc sets are handlesets with the Aspen and Madison described as single cylinder keyed entry, while the Emtek 4225 is a double cylinder set keyed on both faces.
18) I ordered a handleset that looks like the Emtek 4225 but it has no cylinder. What did I get?
Some handlesets in this style are dummy trim, which mounts to the door for appearance and pull only with no latch or lock. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob are both dummy function, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry set. The Emtek 4225 Hercules is a keyed double cylinder entrance handleset sold complete with latch and strike plate, so it is not interchangeable with any of those on an active entry door.
19) Do any of the alternatives to the Emtek 4225 carry an ANSI grade rating for a multi-family entry?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules is a residential handleset. Among the comparable sets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona are both listed as Grade 2, the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview are Grade 3. If a graded set is required by spec, those are the ones carrying a stated grade; if the requirement is a keyed interior cylinder, the Emtek 4225 is the double cylinder option.
20) I need an interconnected lock for an apartment door, not a handleset. What are my options next to the Emtek 4225?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules can be specified with an interconnect device, in which case handing must be stated at order, as it also must be if a lever is used on the inside. If you want a purpose-built interconnected unit instead, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 Interconnected Passage Lock pairs a passage function with a keyed deadbolt and a Torino lever in satin stainless steel, is Grade 2, and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. That one gives single-motion egress from a lever rather than the gripped handle of the 4225.
21) What finishes does the Emtek 4225 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. All eight are available with either the Schlage or Weiser keyway. Unlacquered brass is the living finish, it will patina over time rather than staying bright.
22) Which handleset alternatives come with the interior knob already paired, rather than chosen separately?
The Emtek 4225 Hercules is ordered with the inside trim selected from the brass knob and lever range, so the handle and interior are specified together at order. Several comparable sets are catalogued as a fixed pairing instead: the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Alcott Knob and the Wesley Handleset x Carnaby Knob are both entrance function, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest comes with the Hudson knob, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial comes with the Eleganti knob. Fixed pairings remove the selection step; the Emtek 4225 keeps it so the interior can be matched to the rest of the doors.
23) Is the Pamex Lexington handleset an alternative to the Emtek 4225 Hercules?
The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset offered in satin nickel, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 4225 Hercules differs on two points that usually decide the order: it is a double cylinder set keyed on the inside as well as the outside, and it fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. On finish, the Emtek 4225 includes Satin Nickel (US15) along with Oil Rubbed Bronze, Flat Black, Polished Chrome, Unlacquered Brass, Satin Brass, French Antique and Polished Nickel.
