Emtek 453515-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 453515 grip by grip handleset fit a 1-3/4 inch exterior door?
Yes. The 453515 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inch thick, with 1-3/4 inch being the standard build. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch, enter the actual thickness in the door thickness field when you order so the spindle and screw pack are sized right.
2) What backset and bore does this Emtek tubular handleset need in the door?
It is a tubular lockset that drops into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The latch is supplied for a 2-3/8 inch backset as standard, and 2-3/4 inch is selectable at no change to the prep on your side, you just pick the backset when ordering. Those are the two standard residential bore centers, so an existing bored door usually takes it without new prep.
3) What does grip by grip mean on an entrance handleset, and how is it different from a handleset with a knob or lever inside?
Grip by grip means you get a full thumb-latch grip handle on both the outside and the inside of the door instead of a knob or lever on the interior. It reads as one continuous piece of hardware from either side, which is why people choose it on front doors where the inside face is on display. Note that Emtek builds grip by grip as a custom function to order, so it carries an additional 2 to 3 day production time on top of normal handling.
4) Can I key this Emtek handleset to my existing Weiser house key?
Yes. The 453515 ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard, but a Weiser WR5 cylinder is offered as a no-upcharge substitution and can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Select the Weiser WR5 keyway option when ordering; Emtek denotes it by prefixing the product code with a W.
5) Can I get several of these Emtek handlesets keyed alike for one house?
Yes, keying is a required selection and it is free. Choose keyed alike if you want one key to run every door, or keyed different if each opening gets its own key. There is also a field for keying to a specific code, which is how you match a key number you already have on other cylinders in the building.
6) Single cylinder versus double cylinder on an Emtek entrance handleset, which do I need?
The 453515 is a single cylinder entry set: keyed from the outside only, with a thumbturn on the interior instead of a second key cylinder. That is the usual choice for a solid front door. If the door or adjacent sidelight has glass within arm's reach of the interior thumbturn, a double cylinder version keyed on both sides is the safer pick.
7) What is the center-to-center measurement on the Emtek 453515 handleset grip?
Grip center-to-center is 5-1/2 inches. That is the spread between the mounting points on the handle, and it is what decides whether the new set lands on the existing through-bolt holes if you are swapping out another handleset.
8) What finishes does the Emtek 453515 sandcast bronze handleset come in, and can I mix finishes inside and out?
Three finishes are offered: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). It is solid sandcast bronze from Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, so these are living finishes that will patina with handling. A split finish is also available as an option if you want one finish on the exterior grip and a different one facing inside.
9) Is this Emtek handleset suitable for a commercial or multifamily entrance?
No. Emtek lists the 453515 as residential hardware, and it is a tubular bored lockset rather than a mortise or Grade 1 commercial lock. For an apartment building common entrance or any opening under a commercial spec, specify a mortise or heavy duty cylindrical lock instead.
10) Is the Emtek 453515 an electronic or smart lock?
No, it is a mechanical key-and-thumbturn entry set with no electronics, no keypad, and no wiring. Nothing about the install involves power or a battery pack.
