Emtek 453636-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset does the Emtek 453636 entrance handleset use, and can I get 2-3/4 inch?
The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is available if you specify it when ordering. Backset is a required selection on the order, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you buy. Existing doors bored at either of the two common backsets are covered.
2) Can I put an Emtek 453636 handleset on a door that already has a knob or lever bored in it?
If the existing prep is a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, the tubular lock body drops into it. What is different from a knob swap is the second hole: a full length handleset needs the door prepped for the grip plate as well, and the two lock points sit 5-1/2 inches center to center. On a door bored only for a single lockset you will be drilling the second bore.
3) What does grip by grip mean on the Emtek 453636 handleset?
Grip by grip means a full length thumb-latch grip on both faces of the door instead of a grip outside and a knob or lever inside. It is a custom function Emtek makes to order, so it carries an extra 2 to 3 days of build time on top of normal handling. Keyed as a single cylinder: one key cylinder in the set.
4) Can the Emtek 453636 be keyed to match my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Schlage C is the standard keyway, so it keys into a Schlage C system as supplied. For a Weiser house key, order the Weiser (WR5) keyway option instead, which is done by putting a W in front of the product code. There is no upcharge for that cylinder substitution and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike and keying to a specific code are both available on the order.
5) I need several exterior doors on one key. Can I order Emtek 453636 handlesets keyed alike?
Keyed alike is a free option on the 453636, selected at the time of order, and keyed different is the other choice. If you are matching a building or a rental portfolio that is already on a key code, there is a keying to code field so the cylinders are cut to that code rather than to a random bitting. Standard keyway is Schlage C.
6) Is the Emtek 453636 a mortise handleset or a tubular one?
Tubular. The 453636 uses a bored tubular lock body through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, not a mortise pocket routed into the door edge. That matters if you are replacing a mortise handleset: the door edge prep is completely different and a tubular set will not fill a mortise pocket. Going the other way, tubular is the easier install on a door that has never had a handleset.
7) Is the Emtek 453636 handleset solid bronze or plated?
Solid sandcast bronze, not a plated casting, from the Sandcast Bronze collection. The three finishes are Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB), all living finishes on bronze rather than coatings over a base metal. It is rated residential, so it suits homes, short-term rentals and residential-scale multi-family rather than high-traffic commercial openings.
8) Can I get the Emtek 453636 with a different finish inside than outside?
Yes, split finish is an option on the 453636 grip by grip set, written in as free text on the order. That is how you match a dark exterior grip to a lighter interior scheme, or the reverse. The stock finishes to draw from are Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze.
9) Does the Emtek 453636 handleset lock from the outside with a key?
It is an entry function set with a single cylinder, so one key cylinder secures the door from the exterior side. Single cylinder means no key is needed from the interior, which is the usual choice for a front entry with no glass within reach of the lock. Standard keyway is Schlage C.
10) What is the center to center spacing on the Emtek 453636 full length handleset?
5-1/2 inches between the two bore centers. Use that number when you are checking against an existing full length handleset prep, or when laying out a new door, since a plate drilled for different spacing will not line up and the escutcheon will not cover the old holes.
11) Is the Emtek 453636 handleset electronic or keypad operated?
Purely mechanical. The 453636 is a keyed bronze handleset with no electronics, no keypad and no batteries, so there is nothing to wire, no low-battery failure and no app. If you want keyless access on a bronze entry door, you need a different product line.
