Emtek 4324-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 4324 Wilmington handleset fit my existing door prep?
The Wilmington 4324 uses standard prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 5-1/2 inch center-to-center between the deadbolt and the knob/lever bore, and a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches. If your existing handleset was also 5-1/2 inch CTC with a 2-1/8 inch bore, it drops into the same holes.
2) What does double cylinder mean on the Emtek 4324, and is it right for a door with glass?
Double cylinder means the deadbolt is key operated from both outside and inside, with no thumbturn. That is the usual choice for a door with glass or a sidelite, since breaking the glass does not let someone reach in and turn the bolt. The tradeoff is that you need a key to get out, which many residential egress codes restrict, so check your local requirement before specifying it. If you want a thumbturn inside, order the single cylinder version of the Wilmington instead.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Wilmington handleset?
Handing is required, right hand or left hand, and it is called out at the order. It matters most if you pick a lever for the inside trim, since a lever has to point toward the latch edge. Knobs are not directional, but the order still asks for the hand.
4) Can I key the Emtek 4324 into my existing Weiser or Schlage keys?
Both keyways are offered. Schlage C is standard, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available with no upcharge, which lets the handleset key into an existing Weiser system. On the order you can also choose keyed alike or keyed different, and enter a key code if you are matching an existing system.
5) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick. Will this Emtek handleset work?
No. The Wilmington 4324 covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so a 2-1/4 inch slab is outside its range. For a thicker door, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale colonial handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Yale Assure Ridgefield handlesets are also listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
6) Which backset should I order for the Emtek 4324, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore. 2-3/8 inch is common on residential doors and is what ships by default; 2-3/4 inch is the other standard and has to be specified at the order. Getting it wrong means the latch face will not sit flush in the edge prep.
7) What is the closest double cylinder handleset alternative to the Emtek 4324 Wilmington?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington is a double cylinder entrance handleset, meaning it is keyed on both the outside and the inside. If you need another double cylinder option, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is also a double cylinder entry set, but it is mortise trim rather than a tubular lock and it is listed for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek 4324 is a tubular lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a standard bored door prep instead of requiring a mortise pocket.
8) If double keyed is not allowed by code on my exit door, what should I use instead of the Emtek 4324?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington is keyed on both sides, which many jurisdictions restrict on a required means of egress. For a single cylinder alternative that is keyed outside and thumbturn inside, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob are both single cylinder entry sets. The Weslock 1411 is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, while the Baldwin 6542 single cylinder trim is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) What comes in the box with the Emtek Wilmington 4324?
It ships as a complete set: exterior handleset, the inside trim you select, latch and strike plate. The standard latch is 2-3/8 inch backset, so call out 2-3/4 inch at the order if your door is bored that way. The one thing you must choose rather than receive by default is the inside knob or lever style.
10) Can I pick any Emtek knob or lever for the inside of the Wilmington handleset?
Any Emtek brass knob or lever can be paired as the inside trim, and the selection runs from classic shapes like the Egg, Providence and Victoria knobs through crystal options such as Windsor and Georgetown to modern bar levers like L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments. Choosing a lever is what triggers the handing requirement.
11) What finishes does the Emtek 4324 Wilmington come in, and can I mix inside and outside?
Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Lifetime Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Pewter US15A, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Lifetime Polished Brass US3, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, Satin Brass US4 and French Antique US7. A split finish can be requested at the order if you want the exterior to match other outside hardware and the interior to match the room.
12) Is the Emtek 4324 handleset suitable for a commercial entry door?
The Wilmington 4324 is a residential handleset in solid brass. For a commercial opening you would normally be specifying graded hardware; among residential handlesets the Schlage F60 Addison is listed as Grade 2, as is the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset. For heavier duty traffic, look at commercial bored or mortise locks rather than a decorative brass handleset.
13) I need matching handlesets across several units. Can the Emtek Wilmington be keyed alike?
Yes, keyed alike is a no-charge option, and you can also submit a key code so a batch keys into an existing system. With Schlage C standard and Weiser WR5 available at no upcharge, you can match whichever keyway the building already runs, and hold one finish across all the doors while varying the interior trim by unit if you want.
14) What is the alternative to the Emtek 4324 if I want keyless or app-based entry on a front door handleset?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington is a mechanical lock with no electronic option, keyed in Schlage C or Weiser WR5. For an electronic front entry, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset comes with a SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) Is there a simpler keyed handleset than the Emtek 4324 for a rental unit front door?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington is a solid brass residential handleset built around a large trim selection and Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keying. Where you want a more basic keyed entry set, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset. Both are keyed on the exterior only, so the inside releases without a key.
16) Which handlesets cover the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range as the Emtek 4324?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Among other handlesets, the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset carries the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, and in the Weslock line the 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob is also listed at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. By contrast the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview handlesets are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, so confirm your slab before ordering those against a thin door.
17) What looks like the Emtek 4324 Wilmington but will not lock the door?
Dummy handlesets share the exterior look but have no latch or cylinder. 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 Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry set. The Emtek 4324 is a keyed double cylinder entrance set sold complete with latch and strike plate, so use a dummy only on an inactive leaf.
18) I need a handleset that works with either backset without specifying - what are my options next to the Emtek 4324?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard and a 2-3/4 inch latch if you specify it, so the backset must be called out on the order. If you would rather have one latch that adjusts in the field, the Sure-Loc handlesets are built with an adjustable backset, including the Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry, the Alta AT507 tubular handleset, the Coral CR507, and the Madison MA507 keyed entry handleset.
19) Are there other solid brass entry handlesets comparable to the Emtek 4324 Wilmington?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington is built in brass with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep and ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, and Flat Black US19. Other solid brass entry handlesets include the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass sets. The Emtek differs in that the inside trim is chosen separately from the brass knob and lever range.
20) Can I use the Emtek 4324 on an interconnected lock opening, or do I need a different product?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington is a bored tubular handleset with a separate latch and deadbolt cylinder arrangement, not an interconnected lock. Where the opening calls for a single-motion interconnected lockset, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose that where the retracting of latch and deadbolt together is required rather than a double keyed handleset.
21) What handleset should I pick instead of the Emtek 4324 if I only need the exterior half?
The Emtek 4324 Wilmington is sold as a complete set with latch, strike plate, and a required inside knob or lever selection. If the interior trim is already in place and you only need the exterior handle, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are exterior-only, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors, with the 687AMD-SMC carrying an SC1 keyway SmartKey cylinder.
