Emtek 4403-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Emtek 4403 Franklin handleset actually lock, or is it just a pull?
The Franklin 4403 is a dummy handleset. There's no cylinder and no latch operation, so it doesn't lock or latch anything. It's a surface-mounted pull, typically used on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors or on a door that's held shut some other way. If you need a keyed exterior door, the Franklin dummy isn't the part. Look at a keyed entry handleset such as the Schlage F60 Addison or the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder instead.
2) Do I have to bore the door for an Emtek Franklin dummy handleset?
No boring needed. The Franklin dummy mounts to the face of the door, so a blank slab works. That's the practical difference from the keyed version, which wants a standard 2-1/8 inch bore. If you're retrofitting where a keyed handleset used to sit, the existing prep will be covered rather than used.
3) Do I have to specify handing on an Emtek dummy handleset?
Handing is a required selection on the Franklin 4403, and it's asked as right hand or left hand. It drives the orientation of the inside trim, which is why it's required even though a dummy has no latch to hand. Stand outside the door: hinges on your right is right hand.
4) Does the Emtek 4403 Franklin come with an interior knob or do I order that separately?
You pick the inside trim as part of the order, and it's a required choice. The Franklin accepts any Emtek brass knob or lever, and the selection list runs the full range, from levers like Stuttgart, Athena, Luzern, Milano and Rope through knobs like Egg, Melon, Providence, Square and Orb, and on to crystal knobs such as Windsor, Georgetown and Old Town. Nothing arrives with a default handle chosen for you, so specify it on the order.
5) My door is 2 inches thick - what handleset works if the Emtek 4403 Franklin does not?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door falls outside it. The Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, as do the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever, both of which are dummy function like the 4403. For doors thicker still, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob runs 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
6) I need a handleset that actually locks, not a dummy - what should I order instead of the Emtek 4403 Franklin?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin is a non-keyed dummy set, so it will not secure an opening. For a keyed exterior door, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the 4403 covers. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder keyed entry for thicker doors at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
7) Is the Emtek 4403 Franklin the same thing as a non-keyed entry handleset like the Schlage JE285?
No. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry set, meaning the latch still operates and retracts. The Emtek 4403 Franklin is dummy function, a fixed trim with no operating mechanism, sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate. The JE285 is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range as the 4403, so the two can look interchangeable on a spec sheet while behaving differently at the door.
8) The Emtek 4403 Franklin is tubular - what if my door is prepped for a mortise handleset?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin is a tubular lock type on a standard 2-1/8 inch door prep with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center. A door already prepped for a mortise case takes different trim: the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim, or the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder version where the inside must also be keyed. Both Baldwin 6542 trims are entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) What is the center-to-center spacing on the Emtek Franklin handleset?
5-1/2 inches between the grip centers. That figure matters most on a replacement: if the plate you're pulling off has a different spacing, the old screw holes and any bore won't line up under the new escutcheon, and you'll be filling or covering them. Measure the existing spacing before ordering.
10) Can I match an Emtek dummy handleset to the keyed handleset on the other door?
That's the usual reason to buy one. The Franklin dummy shares the 5-1/2 inch center-to-center layout and the same brass finish range as the working Franklin handlesets, so a pair of french doors or a double entry reads as one set with only the active leaf keyed. Same interior knob or lever styles are available on both, so the inside trim matches too.
11) What is the difference between the Emtek Franklin dummy handleset and a Weslock or Baldwin dummy?
Function is the same idea, the trim package is not. The Franklin is a brass tubular set where you choose the inside knob or lever from Emtek's full brass range and pick from ten finishes. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy comes as a fixed pairing with the Impresa knob and covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy pairs with the New Heaven lever over the same thickness range. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, the Weslock sets reach further; if you want the trim to match other Emtek openings in the house, the Franklin is the one.
12) Can I use an Emtek Franklin handleset on an interior closet or pantry door?
It works, with one caveat. Since the Franklin dummy is surface mounted with no latch, nothing holds the door closed, so you need a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch to keep it shut. On a pantry or closet that's usually fine and is exactly how these get used. On a door that needs to stay latched, specify a passage or entry set instead.
13) What solid brass handleset alternatives are there to the Emtek 4403 Franklin?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin is a brass tubular handleset. Among other solid brass handlesets, the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry handlesets. The difference to weigh is function: those three Deltana sets are entry function, while the Emtek 4403 is dummy trim for an inactive leaf.
14) If I want a keypad or smart lock handleset instead of the Emtek 4403 Franklin, what are the options?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin is a non-electronic mechanical handleset. For an electronic exterior opening, 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. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with a Ridgefield handleset over a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same handleset for buyers who do not want a network connection.
15) Is there a graded handleset alternative for a rental unit where the Emtek 4403 Franklin would be used?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin is a residential handleset. Where a graded product is wanted for a keyed opening, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent Lever is Grade 2 in the F Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors and ship as exterior trim only.
16) What is a simpler handleset than the Emtek 4403 Franklin if I do not need to choose the interior trim?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin requires the inside knob or lever style and the handing to be specified with the order. Sets that arrive as a fixed pairing include the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Alcott Knob and the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Carnaby Knob, both entrance function, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset in a satin nickel finish for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those come as one configuration rather than a trim selection, though they are keyed sets rather than dummy trim.
17) What key-free handleset can replace the Emtek 4403 Franklin on an exterior door?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin is a non-keyed dummy set, so it cannot secure an exterior opening on its own. For a key-free but secured exterior door, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt pairs with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim over a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, and the Yale Real Living Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so it reaches thinner doors.
18) I need to match a Schlage C keyway system - does the Emtek 4403 Franklin or a Kwikset handleset fit that?
The Emtek 4403 Franklin is built around a Schlage C keyway, though as a dummy set it is non-keyed; the keyway matters when ordering keyed members of the Franklin family, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder can be substituted by adding a W to the front of the product code with no upcharge. On the Kwikset side, the 687AMD SMC Amador Single Cylinder Handleset uses an SC1 keyway with SmartKey, while the 687AMD SMT Amador is the SmartKey version, both Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) What finishes does the Emtek Franklin handleset come in?
Ten finishes across the brass collection: 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). Unlacquered brass is the one to note if you're matching an existing patina, it's left to age rather than clear coated. A split finish can also be specified if the exterior and interior need to differ.
