Emtek 450512-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 450512 handleset lock, or is it just for show?
It's a dummy handleset, non-keyed, with no working latch or deadbolt. The 450512 is surface mounted and needs no door prep, so it's used on an inactive leaf of a double door, a fixed French door panel, or a pantry or closet door that only needs a pull. If you need the door to latch or lock, choose a keyed entrance handleset instead, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever.
2) Do I have to specify handing on an Emtek dummy handleset?
Handing is required on the order. If you pair the grip with a lever for the inside trim, the lever has to be handed so it swings the right way, and handing is selected as Right Hand or Left Hand. Knobs aren't directional, but the order form still asks for handing either way.
3) Is the inside knob or lever included with the Emtek 450512, or ordered separately?
Sold as a complete set. You pick the inside trim when you order, from 25 Sandcast Bronze options: Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton and Yuma levers, plus Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town and Providence knobs.
4) Do I need to bore the door to install the Emtek 450512 dummy handleset?
No boring. It's surface mounted, so it fastens to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch mortise. That makes it the practical choice on a glass panel door, a French door inactive leaf, or any slab you don't want to cut.
5) Will the Emtek 450512 work on a 2 inch thick door?
The Emtek 450512 handleset is rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker slabs, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob lists 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
6) What other dummy handlesets can I use on an inactive door instead of the Emtek 450512?
The Emtek 450512 Rectangular handleset is a dummy function set, so the closest cross-brand matches are the other dummy handlesets: the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever in the Premiere Essentials series, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob in the Elegance series. Both Weslock sets list a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, while the 450512 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
7) I need the same handleset look but with a working lock on the door. What should I order instead of the Emtek 450512?
The Emtek 450512 is non-keyed with a dummy function, so it does not latch or lock. For a keyed opening, keyed entry handlesets include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever, a Grade 2 F Series set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset with the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
8) What is the center-to-center measurement on the Emtek 450512 handleset grip?
5-1/2 inches center to center. That's the figure to check against an existing handleset's mounting holes if you're swapping one out on an inactive door, and against the stile width on a French or glass panel door so the plate has room to sit.
9) What finishes does the Emtek 450512 Rectangular handleset come in?
Three Sandcast Bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are cast bronze, so tone varies slightly piece to piece, which is why matching the rest of the openings in a house means staying inside the Sandcast Bronze collection. A split finish can also be specified if you want the interior trim different from the exterior grip.
10) Can I use the Emtek 450512 on a commercial building entrance?
It's built for residential use, and it's a dummy trim with no latching function, so it isn't the part for a commercial entry. For a graded residential or light commercial handleset the comparable set includes the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset at Grade 2 and the Kwikset 687 Amador at Grade 3.
11) Is the Emtek 450512 a substitute for a mortise entry handleset like the Baldwin 6542 Tremont?
No. The Emtek 450512 is a tubular dummy set that surface mounts with no door prep. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry-function mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors and is offered in single cylinder and double cylinder versions, which require a mortise lock case pocketed into the door edge. They are not interchangeable preps.
12) What handleset should I use if I want keyless electronic entry rather than the Emtek 450512?
The Emtek 450512 is a mechanical, non-electronic dummy handleset. For electronic options, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and Yale Real Living offers the BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version, both listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
13) Which handleset has an adjustable backset if the Emtek 450512 does not fit my bore?
The Emtek 450512 surface mounts and needs no door prep, so bore position is not a factor for it. If you are working with an existing bore that varies, Sure-Loc handlesets are offered with adjustable backset, including the Alta AT507 tubular handleset, the Aspen AN507 keyed entry handleset, the Madison MA507 keyed entry handleset, and the Coral CR507.
14) I want a handleset with a thumb latch that operates but no key. Is the Emtek 450512 the right choice?
The Emtek 450512 is a dummy handleset, meaning the trim is fixed and non-operating. For a non-keyed set that still functions as an entry handle, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 J Series non-keyed entry set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
15) Can I order the Emtek 450512 as exterior trim only, the way some Kwikset handlesets are sold?
The Emtek 450512 is sold as a complete set with a required inside knob or lever selection from the Sandcast Bronze range. If you need exterior trim only to pair with hardware already on the door, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder keyed handlesets are listed as exterior only for 1-3/4 inch doors, with the 687AMD-SMC configured for the SC1 keyway with SmartKey.
16) Is there a solid brass handleset alternative to the Emtek 450512 Sandcast Bronze?
The Emtek 450512 is a sandcast bronze handleset with a brass substrate, offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze. For solid brass entry handlesets from another line, Deltana lists the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann, and 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass sets.
17) Does the Emtek 450512 carry an ANSI grade like the residential handlesets that publish one?
The Emtek 450512 is a residential sandcast bronze dummy handleset. Buyers who need a stated grade on the opening typically look at the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona, both Grade 2, the Master Lock HDLB series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset at Grade 2, or the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exterior-only handlesets at Grade 3.
18) What is a comparable handleset-and-knob combination to the Emtek 450512 with its inside knob option?
The Emtek 450512 lets you pair the rectangular sandcast bronze handleset with any Sandcast Bronze knob or lever for the inside trim, such as the Egg, Round, Windsor, or Durango lever. Pre-matched handleset and knob combinations from other lines include the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Carnaby knob, both entrance function.
