Emtek 4228-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset does the Emtek 4228 handleset come with, and can I get 2-3/4 inch?
Both backsets are orderable. The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch must be specified on the order. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole before you order: on most residential exterior doors that is 2-3/8 inches, but thicker or heavier doors are often bored at 2-3/4.
2) What is a double cylinder entrance handleset and do I actually want one?
Double cylinder means the 4228 Hercules takes a key on both the outside and the inside, with no thumbturn on the interior. That is what people specify when there is glass beside or in the door and they do not want someone reaching through to turn a knob. The tradeoff is that nobody exits without a key in the lock, which many local codes will not allow on a required egress door in a rental or commercial setting. For a solid door with no glazing, a single cylinder with an interior thumbturn is the easier choice.
3) Can the Emtek 4228 be keyed into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Standard cylinders on the 4228 are Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. A Weiser WR5 keyway version is also built, ordered by adding a W to the front of the product code, with 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 there is a field to give the keying code you already run.
4) Do I have to specify handing on an Emtek Hercules handleset?
Handing is required on the 4228. You choose left hand or right hand at order time, and it matters whenever a lever is used for the inside trim or an interconnect device is specified, since the lever has to point the correct way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is a right hand door.
5) Is the Emtek Hercules handleset a mortise lock or a tubular one?
The 4228 Hercules is a tubular lockset, not a mortise. It works from a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep instead of a mortise pocket routed into the door edge, which makes it far easier to retrofit onto an existing door and cheaper to install. Emtek also builds mortise entrance handlesets; those need the door edge machined for a lock body and are what you would look at for a heavier feel on a thick entry door. If your door already carries a mortise lock, this is not a drop-in replacement.
6) What else can I use if my door is thicker than 2 inches?
The 4228 tops out at 2 inches of door thickness, so a 2-1/4 inch door is out of range. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living Ridgefield handlesets on the Assure Lock deadbolts also cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the door before ordering brass trim, because an oversize door will leave the spindle and screw posts short.
7) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick. Will the Emtek 4228 Hercules handleset fit?
The Emtek 4228 Hercules covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a 2-1/4 inch door, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch in a single cylinder function, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch as well if a keypad entry is acceptable. Confirm the actual door thickness at the bore before ordering, since thick doors on entry openings often also need a longer spindle and screw pack.
8) What is the closest solid brass handleset to the Emtek 4228 Hercules if I need a double cylinder entry rather than single cylinder?
The Emtek 4228 Hercules is a double cylinder entrance handleset in brass, meaning it is keyed on both the outside and the inside. Among the alternatives, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is offered in a double cylinder entry mortise trim, so it is the direct match on function. The difference is the lock platform: the 4228 Hercules is a tubular lock with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, while the Baldwin 6542 Tremont is mortise trim and calls for a 1-3/4 inch door. If the door is already bored for a tubular lock, the 4228 Hercules is the one that drops into that prep.
9) I only want the exterior keyed, not both sides. What should I order instead of the Emtek 4228 Hercules?
The Emtek 4228 Hercules is keyed on both sides as a double cylinder entrance set. For a single cylinder handleset, where the outside is keyed and the inside operates by thumbturn or lever, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is built as a single cylinder entry mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is a single cylinder handleset that covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Weslock 2810 matches the 4228's door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so it suits the same doors. Note that double cylinder sets require a key to exit and some jurisdictions restrict them on residential egress doors, which is often the reason buyers move to a single cylinder.
10) I need an ANSI grade on the handleset for a spec sheet. Does the Emtek 4228 Hercules work, or should I look elsewhere?
The Emtek 4228 Hercules is classed for residential use in brass. If the submittal calls out a graded product, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 F Series set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is Grade 3 on a 1-3/4 inch door. All three are single cylinder rather than the double cylinder function of the 4228 Hercules.
11) What comes in the box with the Emtek 4228 handleset, and do I need to buy a latch or strike separately?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. The one thing you do have to choose is the interior trim: the 4228 pairs with any Emtek brass knob or lever, and that selection is part of the order rather than a default. So the only extra purchase is normally nothing, provided you pick the inside knob or lever, handing, backset and keying when you order.
12) What interior knob and lever styles can I put on the Emtek 4228 Hercules handleset?
The inside trim is an open choice across the Emtek brass range, so you can run a knurled contemporary look straight through with the Ace Knurled Knob, the L-Square, T-Bar or R-Bar Knurled, or the Conical Knurled and Conical Straight Knurled. Levers include Hercules, Helios, Stuttgart, Athena, Poseidon, Argos and Triton on the contemporary side, and traditional options such as Rope, Ribbon and Reed, Rustic and Wembley. Crystal and marble trims are there too, including Windsor and Bristol Crystal and the White Marble variants. If you are matching interior doors already fitted with Emtek trim, pick the same style here and the whole floor reads as one set.
13) Is the Emtek 4228 handleset rated for a commercial entrance or is it residential?
The 4228 Hercules is a residential handleset. For a commercial opening that has to meet a grade requirement, look at graded product instead: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series handleset are both Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador is Grade 3. Emtek brass handlesets are specified for their finish and trim range on a house or a high-end unit, not for a cycle-tested commercial entrance.
14) Can I use an interconnected lock in place of the Emtek 4228 Hercules handleset?
They solve different problems. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors: one motion on the inside lever retracts both latch and bolt. The Emtek 4228 Hercules is a double cylinder entrance handleset, so a key is required on both faces and there is no single-motion egress. Emtek does require handing be specified on the 4228 when a lever is used inside or when an interconnect device is called out, so handing has to be confirmed before the order goes in either way.
15) Which brass handlesets compare to the Emtek 4228 Hercules if I want the same solid brass look in a traditional style?
The Emtek 4228 Hercules is a solid brass handleset in a contemporary style with a knurled monolithic grip. For a traditional profile in solid brass, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass handlesets, plus the 810871 Montego, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the same range the 4228 Hercules handles. The Baldwin Wesley handleset is another entrance-function option and is paired with either the Alcott or the Carnaby knob. The Emtek 4228 Hercules differs in that it is double cylinder and offered on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep.
16) Is there a keypad or smart alternative to the Emtek 4228 Hercules handleset for a rental unit where I do not want to hand out keys?
The Emtek 4228 Hercules is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset keyed on both sides. If you want code-based access instead, 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 with a touchscreen deadbolt and Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. For a key-free version with no cylinder at all, the Yale BYRD256 CBARX uses a touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset. The Emtek 4228 remains the choice where the opening must operate without power or batteries.
17) What handleset should I use on an interior or closet door where no key is needed, if the Emtek 4228 Hercules is on the entry doors?
The Emtek 4228 Hercules is a keyed entrance set, so it is not the part for a non-locking opening. For a dummy handleset that mounts as trim only, the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob is a dummy function in the Elegance Series for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever is a dummy in the Premiere Essentials Series over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. For an operating but non-keyed latch, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three cover doors in the same thickness band as the 4228 Hercules.
18) The Kwikset 687 Amador is listed as exterior only. Is that a substitute for the Emtek 4228 Hercules?
No. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is supplied as the exterior half only, so it does not include the inside trim. The Emtek 4228 Hercules is sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate, and the inside knob or lever is selected as part of the order. The Kwikset 687AMD is offered with SmartKey in a version keyed to the SC1 keyway on the 687AMD SMC, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview is the same exterior-only arrangement in a different rose style. The Emtek 4228 Hercules uses the Schlage C keyway as standard, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available at no upcharge.
19) I need a satin nickel handleset for a 1-3/8 inch door. How does the Pamex Lexington compare to the Emtek 4228 Hercules?
The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in a satin nickel finish, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 4228 Hercules is offered in Satin Nickel US15 among its finishes and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, so it reaches thicker slabs. The functional split is the one to settle first: the Pamex FS7P31 is single cylinder, while the 4228 Hercules is keyed on both faces.
20) Is the Emtek 4228 Hercules an electronic or smart lock?
No electronics here. The 4228 Hercules is a mechanical key-operated handleset, keyed on both sides. If you want a keypad or app-controlled exterior door with a matching handleset, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock with Ridgefield handleset comes in standalone touchscreen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth versions, and the Kwikset 815 San Clemente pairs a handleset with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt.
