Emtek 451421-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 451421 Rustic Modern Rectangular handleset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, and what door prep does it need?
Door thickness range on the 451421 is 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so a 1-3/8 inch older interior door and a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door both work, as do thicker custom slabs up to 2 inches. Prep is the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore. If your existing door already has a 2-1/8 inch bore and a 5-1/2 inch CTC sectional layout, it drops into the same holes.
2) What backset does the Emtek 451421 handleset come with, and can I get 2-3/4 inch?
Both backsets are available. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch, and 2-3/4 inch is a selectable option you specify when ordering. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you pick: those are the two backsets used on residential doors, and the wrong one leaves the latch short of or past the strike.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 451421 sandcast bronze handleset?
Handing is required, left or right, and it is a selection you make on the order. It matters because the inside trim is a knob or lever that has to swing the correct way; the description also calls out 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 is right hand.
4) Can I key the Emtek 451421 into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Schlage C keyway is standard on the 451421, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. A Weiser WR5 keyway version is also built, ordered by adding a W to the front of the product code, with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Both keyways come in all three sandcast finishes. Keyed alike and keyed different are both offered, and there is a field for keying to a specific code.
5) Is the Emtek 451421 handleset a complete set, or do I have to buy the inside knob separately?
Sold as a complete set including the latch and strike plate, but the interior trim is a required choice you make when ordering, not something included by default. Pick from 25 sandcast bronze options: ten levers (Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton, Yuma) and fifteen knobs (Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town, Providence). Any sandcast bronze knob or lever can be paired with it. Choosing a lever also forces the handing selection.
6) Is the Emtek 451421 a tubular or a mortise handleset, and does that change my door prep?
Tubular. It uses the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a bored latch, which is why it installs into a normal residential door prep instead of the deep edge pocket a mortise lock needs. If your door is already routed for a mortise case, this is the wrong body type; a mortise trim set like the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is what fits that prep. Going the other way, a door bored for a standard handleset takes this one with no routing.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 451421 handleset from another brand if I want a keyed single cylinder entry set with a lever inside?
The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is the nearest peer. It is an F Series Grade 2 entrance set that fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick, and it arrives with the interior lever already paired. The Emtek 451421 is an entry-function single cylinder handleset in sandcast bronze fitting doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and its inside trim is chosen separately from the Sandcast Bronze knob and lever range, so an Aurora, Teton or Cody lever can be specified rather than accepting a fixed pairing. The Emtek uses a Schlage C keyway on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center handle, so it can be keyed into a Schlage system.
8) Which handleset should I use on a 2-1/4 inch thick entry door instead of the Emtek 451421?
The Emtek 451421 covers doors from 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick, so a 2-1/4 inch door is past its range. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder set rated for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors and covers that opening. If the door is getting an electronic deadbolt instead of a keyed cylinder, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch.
9) I need a handleset with an ANSI grade for a facility spec. Does the Emtek 451421 work, or should I look at something else?
The Emtek 451421 is a residential sandcast bronze handleset, so for a spec written around a stated grade the peers to look at are the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, a Grade 2 entrance handleset covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset, which is Grade 2 entrance as well. Kwikset's 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is Grade 3 entrance and fits 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Is the Kwikset 687AMD Amador handleset a drop-in substitute for the Emtek 451421?
They are not interchangeable. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is sold as exterior trim only, so no interior knob or lever comes with it, and it is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 451421 ships as a complete set with latch and strike plate, takes a required inside knob or lever selection from the Sandcast Bronze range, and covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep. The Amador is also offered in two keyway builds, the 687AMD SMT with SmartKey and the 687AMD SMC with SC1 keyway SmartKey, while the Emtek uses a Schlage C keyway or a Weiser WR5 keyway.
11) If the door needs to lock with a key from both the inside and the outside, what replaces the Emtek 451421?
The 451421 is a single cylinder set, keyed from the exterior with a thumbturn or inside trim operation. For a double keyed opening, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the double cylinder counterpart to the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim, both entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the Baldwin 6542 is mortise trim, so the door has to be prepped for a mortise lock body, while the Emtek 451421 is a tubular lock on a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
12) What is the difference between a single cylinder and double cylinder entrance handleset, and which is the Emtek 451421?
The 451421 is single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn inside. That is what most codes want on a residential egress door, because you can get out without a key. Double cylinder needs a key on both sides and is chosen mainly where glass sits next to the lock and someone could reach the turn. If you need the two-sided key version in a similar style, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is offered as a double cylinder entry mortise trim.
13) What finishes does the Emtek Rustic Modern Rectangular sandcast bronze handleset come in, and will they match my other bronze hardware?
Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are solid bronze, sand cast, so the surface has the texture and slight variation that comes with the casting process rather than a smooth plated look. They belong to Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, so they match other Sandcast Bronze knobs, levers and trim across a house. There is also a split finish option if you want the exterior and interior trim in different finishes.
14) Is the Emtek 451421 handleset suitable for a commercial building entrance?
It is built as residential hardware, and it carries no stated commercial grade. For an apartment unit door, a house, or a rental in a multi-family building it is the right class of product. If you are specifying a graded lock for a commercial opening, look at graded alternatives instead: the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D is Grade 2, as is the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, while the Kwikset 687 Amador is Grade 3.
15) Can I get the Emtek 451421 with a keypad or smart lock instead of a key?
No. The 451421 is a mechanical, key-operated handleset with no electronic component. If you want a handleset with electronic entry, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset comes in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (BYRD226CBARX) and standalone (BYRD226NRRX) versions for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815 San Clemente pairs a handleset with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) Is the Emtek 451421 an entry function lock, or a dummy handleset?
Entry function, keyed. Handle outside, key cylinder, and operating trim inside, so it latches and locks a working door. If you need a non-operating pull for an inactive leaf of a pair or a fixed door, that is a dummy set instead, such as the Weslock 6695 Belmont or the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset. Ordering an entry set for an inactive leaf is a common and costly mix-up.
17) What do I use on an interior or secondary door that needs the same handleset look but no key?
The Emtek 451421 is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset, so a non-keyed opening calls for a different part. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a J Series Grade 2 handleset in a non-keyed entry function for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a door that only needs the appearance of a handleset with no latching function at all, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob are dummy function, both covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
18) We are moving units to keypad entry. What handleset takes the place of the Emtek 451421 on those doors?
The Emtek 451421 is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset with a keyed cylinder. For keypad or app-controlled openings, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs Halifax lever interior trim with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey, RCAL latch and RCS strike, on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key free touchscreen version with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim. Those replace the key cylinder rather than supplement it, so an existing Schlage C key system will not carry over to them.
19) What is a simpler solid brass handleset alternative to the Emtek 451421?
The Emtek 451421 is a sandcast bronze handleset built on a Rustic Modern Rectangular rosette with the inside knob or lever ordered separately. If a solid brass entry handleset supplied as one configuration suits the opening better, Deltana offers several entry function sets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, each solid brass. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the same door thickness range the Emtek 451421 covers.
20) The Emtek 451421 is too thick for a 1-3/8 inch door with limited edge room. What else fits a thin door?
The Emtek 451421 already starts at 1-3/8 inch, so a thin door is within its range on a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Peers that also start at 1-3/8 inch include the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel, an entry function set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, Grade 2 entrance for the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob, Premiere Essentials series, matches the Emtek at 1-3/8 to 2 inch.
21) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock the same thing as the Emtek 451421?
No. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino lever in satin stainless steel is a passage function interconnected lock paired with a keyed deadbolt, JI Series Grade 2, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Passage function means the lever itself does not lock; the security is in the separate deadbolt. The Emtek 451421 is an entry function single cylinder handleset. Handing matters on both: the Emtek requires left or right hand to be specified whenever a lever is used inside or an interconnect device is called for.
22) Which handlesets besides the Emtek 451421 let me choose the interior knob style?
Baldwin offers the Wesley handleset in interior knob pairings: the 180WYHXATK with Alcott knob and the 180WYHXCYK with Carnaby knob, both entrance function. Weslock pairs the 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with the Hudson knob. The Emtek 451421 handles this as a required selection at order time across a wide Sandcast Bronze range, including the Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Windsor and Georgetown knobs and the Aurora, Cimarron, Durango and Teton levers, on a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center handle.
