Emtek 4229-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek 4229 Hercules handleset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or do I need a thicker slab?
Door thickness range on the 4229 Hercules handleset runs 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door and an older 1-3/8 inch slab both work, as does a heavier 2 inch door. There's a Door Thickness field on the order so you can tell Emtek what you're hanging it on. Cross bore is the standard 2-1/8 inch and the handle mounts to a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep.
2) Can I drop the Emtek 4229 handleset into my existing door holes, or does it need a new prep?
If your door is bored for a standard tubular handleset you're likely fine. The 4229 Hercules uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore, which is the common residential handleset prep. The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset; if your existing edge bore is 2-3/4 inch, specify the 2-3/4 inch backset on the order and no drilling changes are needed.
3) What is a double cylinder entrance handleset and should I use one on my front door?
Double cylinder means the 4229 Hercules is keyed on both sides, so there's no thumbturn inside. That is what people specify when the door has glass, a sidelite, or a glazed panel within reach of the lock, since a thumbturn there can be reached through broken glass. The trade-off is you need a key to get out, which many jurisdictions restrict on a dwelling's required exit door. If you want a thumbturn inside, order the single cylinder version of the same handleset instead.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 4229 Hercules handleset?
Handing is required, left or right, and it's a required choice on the order. It matters because the inside trim is a knob or lever that has to swing the correct way, and because Emtek calls for handing whenever a lever is used inside or an interconnect device is specified. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand.
5) What comes in the box with the Emtek 4229 handleset, and what else do I need to order?
The 4229 Hercules ships as a complete set with the latch and the strike plate included. What you have to pick yourself is the interior trim, since the inside knob or lever is a required selection and is not assumed. You also choose handing, backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch), keyway, and whether the cylinders are keyed alike or keyed different. Nothing else is needed to finish a standard bored door.
6) Can I key the Emtek 4229 handleset to my existing house keys?
Yes, in two ways. The standard cylinder is a Schlage C keyway, so if your other doors are Schlage C it can be keyed to that code, and there's a keying-to-code field on the order. If your house runs on Weiser, order the Weiser WR5 keyway version instead, which keys into an existing Weiser system at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution. Both keyways are offered across every finish. You also choose keyed alike or keyed different, so a double cylinder front door and a back door can share one key.
7) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick. Which handleset covers that?
The Emtek 4229 Hercules covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder handleset rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range if you want keypad entry rather than a keyed cylinder.
8) What is the closest double cylinder handleset alternative to the Emtek 4229 Hercules if I need a mortise lock instead of a tubular one?
The Emtek 4229 Hercules is a tubular lock with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep. If the opening is prepped for a mortise pocket rather than bored holes, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the double cylinder counterpart in the set, fitting a 1-3/4 inch door. Both are keyed on both sides, so neither gives you a thumbturn on the interior; the difference is entirely the lock body and the door prep it demands.
9) I want a single cylinder handleset instead of double cylinder so the inside is a thumbturn. What should I order?
Double cylinder means the Emtek 4229 Hercules takes a key on both sides, which some jurisdictions restrict on a required egress door. For a single cylinder handleset, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson Knob is a single cylinder unit covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the same thickness range the 4229 covers, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the single cylinder version of the mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent Lever is another single cylinder keyed entry handleset, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Which of these handlesets is not actually a substitute for a double cylinder entrance set?
Several look close but function differently. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry function, so it takes no cylinder at all. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is a passage lock interconnected with a separate keyed deadbolt, not a single keyed handleset. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest and Weslock 6695 Belmont are dummy function trim with no latch. And the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are exterior only, single cylinder, so they do not ship with the inside trim the Emtek 4229 Hercules includes as a complete set with latch and strike plate.
11) I key my buildings on Kwikset SmartKey. Is there a handleset that matches that instead of Schlage C?
The Emtek 4229 Hercules ships on a Schlage C keyway and can be ordered on a Weiser WR5 keyway with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, which keys into an existing Weiser system. If the property is standardized on Kwikset SmartKey, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador handleset is offered in a SmartKey version and in an SC1 keyway SmartKey version, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview is SmartKey as well. All three are Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors and are exterior trim only.
12) What finishes does the Emtek 4229 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 French Antique (US7). Every one of them is available with either the Schlage or the Weiser cylinder. Body and substrate are solid brass, so the unlacquered option will patina with handling while the plated finishes hold their color.
13) Can I match the inside lever on this Emtek handleset to the knobs already on my other doors?
Almost certainly. The 4229 Hercules takes any Emtek brass knob or lever as interior trim, and the selection covers the full brass range: levers like Hercules, Athena, Milano, Coventry and Rustic, knobs like Round, Egg, Providence and Square, plus crystal options such as Windsor, Georgetown and Diamond. Pick the one that matches the passage and privacy sets elsewhere in the house and order it in the same finish. Interior trim is a required selection, so name it when you order.
14) Is the Emtek 4229 a mortise lock or a tubular lock?
Tubular. The 4229 Hercules is a bored tubular handleset, so it goes into a drilled 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an edge-bored latch rather than a routed mortise pocket in the door edge. That matters if you're replacing an existing mortise entry set, because the mortise pocket leaves a cavity a tubular set won't cover. Emtek's mortise handlesets are a separate range for that prep.
15) Is the Emtek 4229 handleset rated for a commercial entry, or is it a residential lock?
Residential. The 4229 Hercules is built for house and light residential entry doors, and Emtek classifies it that way. For an apartment corridor, an office suite, or anything seeing commercial traffic, a Grade 2 handleset is the more appropriate class, and ZenSupply carries options like the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Grade 2 and the Master Lock HDLB Series Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset.
16) What else could I buy instead of the Emtek 4229 Hercules handleset?
Depends what you're after. For the same solid brass character in a handleset, the Deltana 810871 Montego covers the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch door range, and the Deltana 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are solid brass entry handlesets as well. If you want a plainer builder-grade entry set, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador are Grade 2 and Grade 3 options. For a keypad instead of a key, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset.
17) I'm replacing a Baldwin mortise entry trim, can I use the Emtek 4229 instead?
Not a straight swap. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder trim is mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the 4229 Hercules is a bored tubular set that wants a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Going from mortise to tubular means the routed pocket in the door edge is left open. If you're staying with mortise, the Baldwin 6542 Tremont is available in both double cylinder and single cylinder entry.
18) Can I order several Emtek 4229 handlesets keyed alike for a building?
Yes. Keyed alike is a selection on the order, so a set of 4229 Hercules handlesets can run on one key. Because the standard cylinder is Schlage C, they can also be keyed to an existing Schlage C code you're already running, and there's a field to enter that code. If the property is on Weiser, order the WR5 keyway version and it keys into that system instead. Note this is a residential-class set, so it suits single-family and light multi-family rather than commercial corridors.
19) Can I replace the Emtek 4229 Hercules with an electronic handleset and keep the same look at the door?
The Emtek 4229 Hercules is a non-electronic mechanical set keyed on both sides. If you want keypad or app control at the same opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on a touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. These change the way the door is secured, not just the trim: the exterior cylinder gives way to a keypad on the deadbolt.
20) What handleset should I use on a door that gets no lock at all, like an inactive leaf or a closet?
The Emtek 4229 Hercules is a keyed entry set with a cylinder on both faces, so it is more hardware than an inactive leaf needs. For a dummy handleset that mounts as trim with no latch function, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven Lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa Knob are both dummy function and both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, matching the thickness range the 4229 fits.
21) Which solid brass handlesets compare to the Emtek 4229 Hercules if I want the same material?
The Emtek 4229 Hercules is brass, both in substrate and collection. Among the comparable brass entry handlesets, the Deltana 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann, and 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry function sets, and the Deltana 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the same range as the 4229. The 4229 differs in being double cylinder, keyed on both faces, where the Deltana sets are entry function with a single cylinder outside.
22) What handleset works on a 1-3/8 inch door where a thicker minimum will not fit?
The Emtek 4229 Hercules starts at 1-3/8 inch and runs to 2 inch. Other handlesets that reach down to 1-3/8 inch include the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder in satin nickel, rated 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Deltana 810871 Montego at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Kwikset 687 series and Baldwin Estates 6542 trim are specified at 1-3/4 inch, so they are the wrong call on a thin slab.
23) I need a handleset paired with a knob on the inside rather than a lever. What are the options?
The Emtek 4229 Hercules takes any Emtek brass knob or lever as the inside trim, ordered with the set, and handing only becomes a requirement if a lever is used inside or an interconnect device is specified. If you prefer a set that ships with the knob already matched, the Baldwin Wesley handleset comes paired with the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest ships with the Hudson knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
24) Is there a key free option if I do not want to carry keys for a double cylinder set?
A double cylinder set like the Emtek 4229 Hercules needs a key on both faces, inside and out. If the goal is to stop carrying keys entirely, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt pairs with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim on Wi-Fi, and the BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Because the handleset side is passage trim, the security lives entirely in the deadbolt rather than in the handle.
