Emtek 452522 Rustic Modern Rectangular Monolithic Entrance Handleset - Sandcast Bronze Tubular - Double Cylinder

The 452522 Rustic Modern Rectangular handleset works on doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick and uses a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore. That 5-1/2 inch CTC is the number to check first if you are replacing an existing handleset, since a door bored at a different spacing will need new prep.

Both backsets are available. The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is selectable at order time. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you order: 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 are the two common residential backsets and the wrong one leaves the latch short or long of the strike.

Handing is required on this handleset, left or right. It matters most when you pair the exterior handle with a lever on the inside, since a lever has to point toward the latch edge. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand.

Double cylinder means key operation on both sides: no thumbturn inside, so you need a key to unlock from within. That is what people specify next to glass sidelights or a glazed door, where a thumbturn could be reached through broken glass. If the door is the only way out of a bedroom or a rental unit, many jurisdictions require a thumbturn for egress, so a single cylinder entry handleset is the right call there.

Both keyways are offered. Standard cylinders are Schlage C, and a Weiser WR5 keyway version is available at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, which lets it key into an existing Weiser system. Keying is set at order time: keyed alike across several doors or keyed different, and you can supply an existing key code so the new handleset works on keys you already carry.

It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. What you must choose is the inside trim, since the handleset is sold without it: 25 Sandcast Bronze knob or lever styles are available, from Durango, Teton and Mariposa levers to Egg, Winchester and Modern Square knobs. You also pick handing, backset, and your keying option. Nothing about the exterior handle changes with the trim choice, so match it to the rest of the interior hardware.

No. The 452522 tops out at 2 inches of door thickness, so a 2-1/4 inch door is outside its range. For thicker slabs, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Yale Assure Lock with Ridgefield handleset is also rated to 2-1/4 inches.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the double cylinder counterpart in the comparable set, and it is the only other double-keyed entry trim among these handlesets. The difference is in the lock body behind it: the Emtek 452522 is a tubular lock with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, while the Baldwin 6542 is mortise trim and fits a 1-3/4 inch door. If your opening is already prepped for a standard bored 2-1/8 inch cross bore, the 452522 drops into that prep; if the door carries a mortise pocket, the Baldwin 6542 is the one that matches it.

The 452522 is a double cylinder set, which means a key is required on the interior side. If code or preference for that opening calls for a thumbturn or inside lever release instead, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the single cylinder version of the same Tremont trim on a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 F Series set for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Both key from the outside only. This matters on an egress door where a bedroom, stair, or exit route needs to open from inside without a key in hand.

The Emtek 452522 covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Among the comparables, the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset carries the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch range, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch as well. Several of the other sets stop short of 2 inches: the Schlage F60 Addison and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both list 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exteriors list 1-3/4 inch. On a heavy or built-up entry slab, check that number before you order.

The 452522 is a keyed entry set and every configuration of it locks. For an inactive leaf or a false door where the grip is decorative only, the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever are dummy function, both covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. For an active door that latches but takes no key, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona Style Handleset with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry function Grade 2 set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. On a double-door entry this is the usual pairing: keyed set on the active leaf, dummy on the inactive one.

The Emtek 452522 ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard and can be ordered with a Weiser WR5 keyway, which keys into an existing Weiser system with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution. It does not use SmartKey. If the building standard is SmartKey, the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador and the 687BW SMT Belleview are SmartKey handlesets, and the 687AMD SMC version carries an SC1 keyway with SmartKey. All three are exterior-only trim on a 1-3/4 inch door, so pair them with interior hardware separately.

The Emtek 452522 covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so a heavier slab needs a different set. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is single cylinder and lists 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX and BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock sets with Ridgefield handleset also list 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch, and the Assure Lock 2 key-free set BYRD256CBARX lists 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the slab at the lock edge, not the frame, before choosing.

The handle is sandcast bronze, a solid bronze casting rather than a plated zinc or steel body, which is why it is offered in three living bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are the Sandcast Bronze collection finishes, and they patina with handling and weather rather than staying uniform. A split finish is available if you want a different look on the interior trim.

It is a residential handleset, meant for houses and residential entries rather than commercial openings. For a multi-family or commercial-adjacent door where a graded lock is being specified, look at graded handlesets instead, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset (Grade 2) or the Master Lock HDLB series single cylinder deadbolt handleset (Grade 2).

Among comparable solid brass entry handlesets, the Deltana 810871 Montego covers the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob also spans 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Both are single cylinder rather than double, so if you specifically need a key on both sides they are not a straight swap. Deltana also offers the Hanover, St. Ann, and Kingston entry handlesets in solid brass.

No, the 452522 is a fully mechanical handleset with no electronic option. For a keypad or app-controlled entry with handleset trim, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset is offered in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well as standalone versions, and the Kwikset San Clemente handleset pairs with a Contemporary SmartCode electronic deadbolt.

Yes. Keyed alike is a no-cost keying option, so a run of these handlesets can be ordered on a single key for a front, side and back door. You can also key to an existing code, which is the route to take if the rest of the house is already on a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 system and you do not want to rekey what is already hanging.

Not a direct one. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset supplied as exterior trim only, in Grade 3, for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek 452522 is a double cylinder set sold complete with latch and strike plate, and the inside trim is chosen as a Sandcast Bronze knob or lever. If you are replacing only the outside escutcheon and grip and keeping the interior hardware in place, the Amador exterior-only set is built for that job; if you need both sides of the door supplied together and keyed both sides, it is not the same purchase.

The Emtek 452522 is a mechanical, non-electronic set keyed on both sides. If the opening calls for keypad or app access instead, the comparable set includes the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt and Ridgefield handleset, the BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen version, and the BYRD256 CBARX key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset. All three list a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. 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. For a rental turn or a short-term unit where rekeying between tenants is the recurring cost, these change the credential rather than the cylinder.

Among the comparable handlesets, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 in the HDLB Series. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the JE285 Barcelona are Grade 2 as well, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3. The Emtek 452522 is a residential sandcast bronze set with a tubular lock. On a project where the door schedule calls out a grade, the graded sets are the ones that answer that line directly.

The Schlage Residential JI18/19 Interconnected Passage Lock pairs a keyed deadbolt with a Torino lever in satin stainless steel, in passage function, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Interconnected means the inside lever retracts both the latch and the deadbolt in one motion. The Emtek 452522 is a monolithic entrance handleset in which the grip and the deadbolt sit on a single continuous escutcheon with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep, and it is keyed on both sides. On a multi-family unit door where single-motion egress is the requirement, the interconnected lock answers that; on a front entry where the look of one long plate matters, the 452522 does.

The Emtek 452522 is a bronze handleset in the Sandcast Bronze collection with a rectangular escutcheon. In solid brass, the comparable set includes the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston, all entry function handlesets, plus the Deltana 810871 Montego, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Material drives how the finish ages: sandcast bronze carries a heavier, textured surface, while the brass sets present a smoother cast face.

The Baldwin Wesley Handleset comes paired with an Alcott knob or a Carnaby knob as the interior trim, both entrance function. The Emtek 452522 works the same way in that the inside trim is chosen rather than fixed, with Sandcast Bronze knobs and levers including the Butte, Egg, Round, and Winchester knobs and the Aurora, Durango, and Teton levers. The practical difference is that the Emtek set is keyed on both sides and the Wesley sets are catalogued as entrance function with the knob pairing named in the part number, so you select the interior style up front rather than as a separate option.
