Emtek 452512-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 452512 handleset fit a 1-3/4 inch exterior door?
Yes. The 452512 Rectangular handleset covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inch thick, so the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial and residential exterior door is right in the middle of the range. It also handles thicker slabs up to a full 2 inches, which is where a lot of solid wood and rustic entry doors land. There is a door thickness field on the order form, so state the actual slab thickness when you order.
2) Does the Emtek 452512 fit a standard door prep, or do I need to bore the door differently?
Standard prep. The 452512 uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore, which is the common residential entry handleset prep. Backset is either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch and you pick it when ordering; the set ships with 2-3/8 inch unless you specify 2-3/4. If your existing door already has a 5-1/2 inch CTC handleset prep, this drops into it.
3) What is the difference between a double cylinder and single cylinder entrance handleset, and which should I use?
The 452512 is double cylinder, meaning it takes a key on both the outside and the inside instead of a thumbturn inside. That is what people specify when the door has glass or a sidelite next to the lock, so nobody can reach through a broken pane and turn the inside. The tradeoff is that you need a key to get out, which many jurisdictions restrict on a residential egress door, so check your local code before choosing it. If you want a thumbturn inside, order the single cylinder version of the same handleset instead.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 452512 handleset?
Handing is required, left or right, and it is a required selection on the order. It matters specifically when you put a lever on the inside, since a lever has to point the correct way toward the hinge stile. Knobs are symmetrical, but handing is still called out on the order either way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is a right hand door.
5) Can I key the Emtek 452512 into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are offered. Standard is Schlage C, and there is a Weiser WR5 cylinder option at no upcharge for cylinder substitution, which can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keying is available keyed alike or keyed different, and there is a field to key to a specific code if you are matching an existing system. If your building runs Schlage C keys on the other doors, order the standard keyway and key alike.
6) What comes in the box with the Emtek 452512 handleset, and what else do I need to order?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. What you do have to choose is the inside trim: a knob or lever from the Sandcast Bronze range is a required selection, with 25 styles including the Durango, Teton and Montrose levers and the Butte, Winchester and Old Town knobs. You also pick handing, backset and your keying at the same time. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a properly prepped door.
7) My door is thicker than 2 inches - what handleset should I use instead of the Emtek 452512?
The Emtek 452512 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so a thicker slab is outside its range. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder keyed entry rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock Standalone Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, though it is an electronic touchscreen deadbolt rather than a keyed cylinder set.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 452512 handleset if I need key on both sides?
The Emtek 452512 is a double cylinder entrance handleset, meaning it takes a key on the interior as well as the exterior. Among the comparable handlesets, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the other double cylinder entry option; it is mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, where the 452512 is a tubular lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors on a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the same trim in a single cylinder entry function, keyed outside only.
9) Is there a simpler handleset than the Emtek 452512 for a door that only needs a key on the outside?
Yes. The Emtek 452512 is a double cylinder set, keyed on both sides. If the interior does not need a cylinder, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 F Series entrance set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador Single Cylinder Handleset with SC1 Keyway SmartKey is a Grade 3 entrance set for 1-3/4 inch doors, exterior trim only. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range the 452512 does.
10) I need to match an existing Kwikset or Weiser key system - can I use the Emtek 452512, or should I pick a different handleset?
The Emtek 452512 is offered with a Weiser WR5 keyway as well as the standard Schlage C, and the Weiser cylinder can be keyed into an existing Weiser system with no upcharge for the substitution. If the system is Kwikset SmartKey instead, the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador and 687BW SMT Belleview handlesets are Grade 3 entrance sets with SmartKey for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador uses an SC1 keyway with SmartKey.
11) What finishes does the Emtek 452512 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 the body is cast bronze rather than plated steel, the finish is in the metal and will patina with weather rather than flake, which is why it gets specified on rustic and heavy-timber entries. A split finish (different outside and inside) can be requested on the order.
12) Is the Emtek 452512 handleset suitable for a commercial building or apartment entry door?
It is a residential handleset with a tubular lock body, not a commercial mortise lock. For an apartment or light commercial opening where you want a mortise chassis behind the trim, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the mortise-prep equivalent and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a graded bored handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) What else could I use instead of the Emtek 452512 if I need a double cylinder entry handleset?
Straight cross-brand double cylinder alternative: the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim, though that one is mortise prep and fixed at 1-3/4 inch doors rather than the bored 2-1/8 inch prep the Emtek uses. If you only need single cylinder, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest handleset covers the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch thickness range, and the Deltana 810871 Montego does as well. The Kwikset and Yale Ridgefield sets are single cylinder or electronic, so they will not do a key on both sides.
14) Can I match the Emtek 452512 across several doors in the same house or building?
Yes, and that is the usual way it gets ordered. Keyed alike is a free keying option, so every door opens on one key, and you can key to an existing code if the property already runs Schlage C or Weiser WR5. Pick the same finish, one of Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze, and the same inside knob or lever style across the openings, and the entries read as one set. Backset and handing are chosen per door, so a mixed set of openings is not a problem.
15) Which handlesets look like the Emtek 452512 but will not lock the door?
Several comparable handlesets are dummy trim, which mount to the door face and do not latch or key at all. The Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever are both dummy function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry function J Series set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 452512 is a keyed double cylinder entry set and ships with the latch and strike plate.
16) I want keypad or app entry instead of a keyed handleset like the Emtek 452512 - what are the options?
The Emtek 452512 is a mechanical, non-electronic set keyed with a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder. For electronic access, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock Wi-Fi Bluetooth Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Handleset and the BYRD256 CBARX Assure Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Passage Handleset both fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset with Halifax Lever pairs a Contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt with handleset trim on a 1-3/4 inch door.
17) What other solid metal entry handlesets cover the same door thickness range as the Emtek 452512?
The Emtek 452512 is a sandcast bronze tubular entry handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset carries the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, and the Deltana Hanover 803871B, St. Ann 815871, and Kingston 825871 are solid brass entry handlesets in that same family of styles. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder set also covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
18) What should I use instead of the Emtek 452512 on a door that needs a lever and deadbolt operating together?
The Emtek 452512 is a double cylinder tubular entrance handleset with a fixed exterior grip and a knob or lever chosen for the inside trim. For an interconnected arrangement where the lever retracts the latch and a keyed deadbolt sits above it, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 Interconnected Passage Lock with Keyed Deadbolt and Torino Lever is a Grade 2 JI Series set with a passage function lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) Does the Emtek 452512 fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or do I need something else?
The Emtek 452512 fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so a 1-3/8 inch slab is within range. Among comparable entry handlesets that also reach down to 1-3/8 inch are the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset in satin nickel, rated 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Kwikset 687AMD and Baldwin Estates 6542 mortise trim are specified for 1-3/4 inch doors.
20) Is the Emtek 452512 a one-piece handleset or a separate deadbolt and handle?
Monolithic, meaning the exterior escutcheon plate and the grip are cast as a single piece rather than an upper deadbolt trim and a separate lower handle. On the outside it reads as one continuous rectangular sandcast bronze plate. Practically it means you cannot mix and match the top and bottom trim, and the 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing is fixed by the casting, so the door prep has to match it.
21) What are the alternatives to the Emtek 452512 if I want the interior knob style to match the handleset?
The Emtek 452512 can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze knob or lever for the inside trim, and handing must be specified when a lever is used inside. Comparable handlesets that come as a matched grip-and-knob pairing include the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Alcott Knob and the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Carnaby Knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob, a single cylinder set for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
