Emtek 451623-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 451623 handleset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a thicker one?
Door thickness range on the 451623 Rustic Modern Rectangular handleset is 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so it covers both a standard 1-3/4 inch residential entry door and older 1-3/8 inch doors, plus thicker custom slabs up to 2 inches. There's a Door Thickness field on the order form, so give the actual measured thickness of your slab when you order.
2) What door prep does the Emtek 451623 handleset need, and will it drop into an existing bored door?
It uses a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the deadbolt and the knob/lever bore, and the latch is 2-3/8 inch backset as standard with 2-3/4 inch available. That's the common residential entry prep, so a door already bored 2-1/8 inch at 5-1/2 inch centers takes it without new boring. Measure your existing backset from the door edge to the bore center before you order, since backset is a required selection.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 451623 sandcast bronze handleset?
Handing is a required choice, left or right. It matters whenever a lever is used on the interior, and it also matters if you add the interconnect device, because the lever has to swing the correct way and the interconnect ties the deadbolt to the lever throw. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand.
4) Can the Emtek 451623 be keyed alike with the Schlage locks already on my building?
Standard cylinder is Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. Keyed alike and keyed different are both free options, and there's a keying-to-code field if you want it cut to a specific bitting you already carry. If your property runs Weiser instead, the same handleset is available with a Weiser WR5 keyway at no cylinder upcharge and keys into an existing Weiser system.
5) What comes in the box with the Emtek 451623 handleset, and what do I still have to order?
Sold as a complete set including the latch and the strike plate. What you must still choose is the interior knob or lever, since the handleset is supplied without it: there are 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). Backset, handing and keying are also required selections.
6) Is the Emtek 451623 a mortise handleset or a tubular one, and which should I be buying?
Tubular. It goes into a standard 2-1/8 inch bore rather than a routed mortise pocket, which makes it far easier to fit to an existing door or to a slab that was prepped for a common residential lockset. A mortise handleset needs a deep pocket cut into the door edge and is the heavier-duty route for a thick or high-traffic entry, but you cannot swap one for the other without new door prep. If your door already has a mortise pocket, this tubular set is not a straight replacement.
7) Is this Emtek handleset suitable for a commercial entrance or an apartment building corridor door?
It's a residential-rated entry handleset, so it belongs on a house, townhome, or unit entry door rather than a commercial opening with a grade or fire-rating requirement. For a property manager who needs a graded product, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series handleset are both Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador is Grade 3. If the opening needs a fire label or a commercial cycle rating, a residential bored handleset of any brand is the wrong direction.
8) My entry door is 2-1/4 inches thick. What handleset works instead of the Emtek 451623?
The 451623 tops out at a 2 inch door, so a 2-1/4 inch slab is outside its range. Options that cover it: the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch, and on the electronic side the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX and BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock deadbolts with Ridgefield handleset are also 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch.
9) Which handleset should I order instead of the Emtek 451623 if the owner wants keypad or app entry on the front door?
The Emtek 451623 is a mechanical, non-electronic keyed handleset. For an electronic front door, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset pairs a handleset with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt. On the Yale side, the BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock Standalone Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Handleset is standalone, the BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD256 CBARX Assure Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Passage Handleset is key free with Wi-Fi. Note the Yale Ridgefield sets above cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, while the 451623 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so verify the leaf before swapping.
10) Which handlesets look like the Emtek 451623 but will not lock the door?
The Emtek 451623 is keyed with a single cylinder entry function. Several handlesets in the same visual family are not keyed at all: the Weslock 6695 Belmont Handleset with Impresa Knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Handleset with New Heaven Lever are both dummy function, meaning fixed trim with no latch, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry function. If the opening needs to lock, none of those three substitutes for the 451623.
11) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 451623 Rustic Modern Rectangular handleset if I need a solid brass entry handleset instead of sandcast bronze?
The Emtek 451623 Rustic Modern Rectangular is a single cylinder entry handleset in bronze. If the door calls for solid brass, the Deltana 803871B Hanover Handleset and the Deltana 825871 Kingston Handleset are both solid brass entry handlesets, as is the Deltana 815871 St. Ann Handleset. All three carry an entry function like the 451623, so the swap is one of material and grip style rather than lock function.
12) I have 1-3/8 inch doors on a rental property. Which entry handlesets will fit besides the Emtek 451623?
The Emtek 451623 covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so it fits thin doors and thick doors on the same building. If you want to spread the fleet across brands and keep that thin-door coverage, the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset is also rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as well. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. What will not work on a 1-3/8 inch door is the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset, which starts at 1-3/4 inch.
13) What single cylinder handleset should I use instead of the Emtek 451623 if the spec calls for a stated ANSI grade?
The Emtek 451623 is a residential single cylinder entry handleset in bronze. Where a submittal wants a graded product, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is Grade 2, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D Single Cylinder Deadbolt Handleset is Grade 2. If the specification allows Grade 3, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador Single Cylinder Handleset and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview Single Cylinder Handleset are both Grade 3 entrance handlesets.
14) Can I use the Emtek 451623 as trim on a mortise-prepped door?
No. The Emtek 451623 is a tubular lock with a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep, so it wants a bored door, not a mortise pocket. For a door already prepped for a mortise body, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the single cylinder version and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder is the double cylinder version, both for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) The Emtek 451623 uses a Schlage C keyway. Which comparable handlesets key into an existing SC1 system?
The Emtek 451623 ships Schlage C as standard, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available on the same set for keying into an existing Weiser system. If you are matching a Schlage-keyed building with another brand, the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador Single Cylinder Handleset is the SC1 keyway version of the Amador, whereas the Kwikset 687AMD SMT and the Kwikset 687BW SMT Belleview are SmartKey. Both Amador variants are Grade 3 entrance handlesets for 1-3/4 inch doors, so the choice between them is purely the cylinder.
16) What does single cylinder mean on this Emtek entrance handleset, and can I get a key on both sides?
Single cylinder means keyed from the exterior and thumbturn on the interior, which is what most residential entries use and what fire egress generally favors. The 451623 as configured is the single cylinder version. Note that the interconnect device add-on is not available on a double cylinder build, so if you want the deadbolt and lever to retract together, stay with single cylinder.
17) What finishes does the Emtek Rustic Modern Rectangular sandcast bronze handleset come in?
Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). All three are available with either the Schlage or the Weiser cylinder. Because these are sand cast solid bronze, expect visible casting texture and finish variation piece to piece, which is the point of the collection but worth knowing if you're matching to an existing opening. If you want the exterior and interior trim in different finishes, there's a split finish field on the order form.
18) How do I get the deadbolt and the interior lever to retract together on an Emtek handleset?
Add the Emtek 443 Interconnect Device. It ties the deadbolt to the interior lever so one motion retracts both, which is what a lot of local codes want on an apartment or rental entry door for single-action egress. Two conditions: handing must be specified when you order it, and it can't be combined with a double cylinder build.
19) What's a comparable solid brass handleset if I don't want cast bronze?
Deltana's solid brass entry handlesets cover the same job in a cast brass body: the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann, and 825871 Kingston are all entry function, and the 810871 Montego is listed for a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door, the same thickness range the Emtek 451623 covers. The difference is the material and the surface: sandcast bronze carries deliberate casting texture and finish variation, brass goes on smoother and more uniform.
20) Can I order the Emtek 451623 with a longer 2-3/4 inch backset latch?
Yes. Standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is a selectable option at order time. Backset is measured from the door edge to the center of the bore, and getting it wrong means the latch won't reach the strike. Doors with a wider stile or a heavier slab are often bored at 2-3/4, so measure rather than assume.
21) I need a handleset with an interconnected lever and deadbolt. Is the Emtek 451623 the right part?
The Emtek 451623 becomes an interconnected set only when the Emtek 443 Interconnect Device is added, and handing must be specified when that device is used. If you would rather buy the interconnect as a single factory part, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 Interconnected Passage Lock with Keyed Deadbolt and Torino Lever is a Grade 2 interconnected set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, with a passage lever and a keyed deadbolt.
22) What can I order instead of the Emtek 451623 if I only need the exterior half of the handleset?
The Emtek 451623 is sold as a complete set including latch and strike plate, and an interior knob or lever style must be chosen with it. When only the exterior trim is wanted, the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador Single Cylinder Handleset and the Kwikset 687BW SMT Belleview Single Cylinder Handleset are supplied exterior only, both Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors.
23) Is a Baldwin Wesley handleset a like-for-like replacement for an Emtek 451623?
Function-wise they line up: the Baldwin Wesley Handleset comes with an Alcott Knob or a Carnaby Knob for the interior and carries an entrance function, matching the entry function of the Emtek 451623, which likewise pairs with a chosen interior knob or lever such as the Egg Knob or Winchester Knob. The difference to check before ordering is prep, since the Emtek 451623 works to a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 5-1/2 inch center-to-center layout with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
