Emtek 4304-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 4304 Wilmington handleset lock, or is it just a dummy?
It is a dummy handleset, non-keyed, with no latch and no deadbolt. The handle and the inside knob or lever are fixed trim, so use it on an inactive door of a pair, a French door leaf held by a flush bolt, or any opening where the door is held shut by something other than the handleset. If you need the door to latch or lock, a keyed entry handleset is the wrong-to-right swap, for example the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Wilmington 4304 handleset work on?
It covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans the common interior thickness and standard 1-3/4 inch exterior doors. There is a door thickness field on the order, so give the actual measured thickness. For thicker slabs up to 2 inches, a Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset is listed at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
3) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Emtek 4304 Wilmington dummy handleset?
Handing is required on the order, right hand or left hand, and it matters if you choose a lever for the inside trim since a lever has to point the correct way. With a knob inside, handing is less visible but is still part of the order. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand.
4) Can I pick my own interior knob or lever with the Emtek 4304 Wilmington handleset?
Yes, and you have to. The inside trim is a required selection, taken from Emtek's brass knob and lever range, and it ships as a complete set. Choices run from traditional (Victoria, Providence, Rope, Ribbon and Reed) through crystal knobs (Bristol, Windsor, Georgetown) to modern bar and square levers (L-Square, T-Bar, R-Bar, Helios, Stuttgart). If you want a lever inside, remember handing goes on the order with it.
5) I need a matching dummy handleset for the inactive leaf of a double door. Is the Emtek 4304 the right part, and what else could I use?
Yes, that is exactly what a dummy handleset is for. The Emtek 4304 Wilmington mounts to the surface with no prep and carries no latch, so the inactive leaf stays held by flush bolts while the trim matches the active door. Other dummy handlesets in the same role are the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy with New Heaven lever, both listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The difference with the Emtek is the brass build and the large range of interior knobs and levers you choose from.
6) I need a locking handleset instead of the Emtek 4304 Wilmington - what should I order?
The Emtek 4304 Wilmington is non-keyed dummy trim, so it will not secure a door. For a keyed exterior opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset fitted for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the 4304 covers. Other single-cylinder options include the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson Knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset in satin nickel, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
7) What handleset should I use if my door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Emtek 4304 Wilmington is fitted for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker slabs, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy also extends to 2 inch if you need dummy function on a heavier door.
8) What finishes does the Emtek Wilmington 4304 come in, and can I mix finishes inside and out?
Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (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). A split finish option is available on the order if you want a different finish inside than out, which is common when the exterior matches the entry package and the interior matches the room.
9) Is there an alternative to the Emtek 4304 Wilmington with electronic or keypad entry?
The Emtek 4304 Wilmington is a mechanical, non-electronic dummy handleset. If the opening calls for keypad or app control, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
10) How does the Emtek 4304 Wilmington compare with the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont trim?
The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entrance mortise trim, offered in single cylinder and double cylinder versions, both for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it mounts to a mortise lock body. The Emtek 4304 Wilmington is a tubular brass dummy handleset with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center, surface mounted with no door prep and no cylinder. Choose the Baldwin trim when the door carries a mortise lock; choose the 4304 when the handleset is decorative pull only.
11) I need a handleset with adjustable backset for a door with an existing bore - what are my options next to the Emtek 4304?
The Emtek 4304 Wilmington is surface mounted with no door prep, so backset does not apply to it. If you are working into an existing bore and need backset flexibility, Sure-Loc offers several handlesets with adjustable backset: the Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry, the Madison MA507 keyed entry, the Alta AT507 tubular, and the Coral CR507.
12) For a matching solid brass handleset in a traditional style, what else works alongside the Emtek 4304 Wilmington?
The Emtek 4304 Wilmington is a brass tubular handleset in an American Classic style, available in finishes including oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, satin nickel, unlacquered brass and flat black. In solid brass entry handlesets, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function. Those carry a latching entry function rather than the dummy function of the 4304, so pair them on the active door and use the 4304 on the inactive leaf.
13) Is the Kwikset 687 Amador a substitute for the Emtek 4304 Wilmington?
No. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is a Grade 3 single cylinder keyed entry handleset supplied as exterior trim only, for 1-3/4 inch doors, with SmartKey cylinder. The Emtek 4304 Wilmington is sold as a complete set with an interior knob or lever chosen from the Emtek brass trim range, and it is dummy function with no cylinder. They serve different openings and are not swap-for-swap.
