Emtek 454525-MB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 454525 grip by grip handleset fit my existing door prep?
It drops into standard bored prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, with backset chosen when you order. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and 1-3/4 inch is the standard build, so a typical commercial-weight or exterior residential door needs no special note. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4, state the thickness on the order.
2) What does grip by grip mean on an Emtek entrance handleset?
Grip by grip means you get a thumb-latch style grip handle on the outside and a matching grip on the interior instead of a knob or lever trim. On the 454525 it is built as a double cylinder entry set, so it is keyed from both sides, which is what people use on a door with glass beside it or in it where a thumbturn could be reached. Emtek builds this configuration to order.
3) Can the Emtek 454525 be keyed into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Standard cylinders are Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. Weiser WR5 is available as a no-upcharge substitution (specified by adding a W to the front of the product code) if the rest of your doors run Weiser. Keyed alike or keyed different is selected at order, and you can supply a key code to have it cut to an existing system.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering the Emtek 454525 grip by grip set?
Four things decide the build: finish (Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze), backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch), keying (keyed alike or keyed different, plus a key code if you are matching an existing system), and keyway (Schlage C standard or Weiser WR5). Door thickness only needs stating if it is over the standard 1-3/4 inch, and split finish is optional. Grip by grip is a custom function built to order.
5) Is this Emtek Rustic Modern handleset suitable for a commercial entrance?
No. The Rustic Modern Rectangular sandcast bronze handleset is a residential entry set, tubular rather than mortise, and is not carried as a commercial-duty product. For an apartment or condo unit door in a residential building it is appropriate; for a main building entrance or a high-traffic commercial opening, specify a commercial mortise or cylindrical lock instead.
6) What is the center-to-center measurement on the Emtek 454525 handleset?
Center to center is 5-1/2 inches. That is the spacing between the two bored holes the set mounts to, so if you are replacing an older handleset check the existing holes match 5-1/2 inch spacing with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore before ordering, otherwise the plate will not cover the old prep.
7) What finishes does the Emtek 454525 sandcast bronze handleset come in, and will they match my other Emtek hardware?
Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection finishes, so they pair with other Sandcast Bronze pulls and levers in the same finish code. Sandcast bronze is a live cast material, so expect variation between pieces rather than a uniform plated look. A split finish (different finish inside versus outside) can be specified at order.
8) Is the Emtek 454525 handleset solid bronze or plated?
Solid bronze, sandcast. Both the material and the substrate are bronze, not a bronze-plated zinc or brass, which is why the finishes are described as bronze tones rather than coatings. Sandcast bronze suits exterior entry doors and is the reason this set carries the rustic texture rather than a machined edge.
9) Is this a mechanical lock or does it have any electronic or smart lock function?
Purely mechanical. The 454525 is a keyed tubular entry handleset with no electronic component, no keypad and no wiring, so nothing needs to be powered or programmed. Access is by key on both sides since it is a double cylinder set.
