Emtek 455646-MB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 455646 Rustic Modern Rectangular handleset actually lock, or is it a dummy?
It doesn't lock and it doesn't latch. The 455646 is a dummy function handleset, non-keyed, with no working cylinder or latch. It surface mounts to the door face and the grips are fixed, so it's for the inactive leaf of a double door or a door that's held by other means. If you need a door that latches and locks, order a keyed entrance version of the Rustic Modern Rectangular handleset instead.
2) Do I have to bore the door for the Emtek 455646 dummy handleset?
No boring needed. The 455646 mounts to the surface of the door with no door prep, so there's no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no edge bore to cut. That makes it the easy option for retrofitting a slab that's already hung, or for dressing an inactive leaf you don't want to drill.
3) Will an Emtek grip by grip handleset work on a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The 455646 covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it fits both the standard 1-3/4 inch exterior door and a thinner 1-3/8 inch slab. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches has to be called out when you order, and there's a Door Thickness field on the order for exactly that.
4) What is the center-to-center spacing on the Emtek Rustic Modern Rectangular full length handleset?
5-1/2 inches center to center. That's the number that decides whether it lands on your existing holes if you're swapping out another handleset, and it's what you measure against the bore spacing on the door before you commit.
5) Do I need to order the Emtek 455646 handed, left or right?
Handing doesn't apply. Grip by grip is a dummy set with fixed grips on both faces, so there's no latch to reverse and no lever to swing. It goes on either a left hand or right hand door as shipped.
6) What finishes does the Emtek 455646 sandcast bronze handleset come in?
Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are sandcast bronze finishes, so each casting varies slightly and they'll darken with handling rather than stay uniform. If you want the exterior grip in one finish and the interior in another, there's a split finish option you can call out on the order.
7) Can I use the Emtek 455646 handleset on a commercial building entrance?
Emtek lists the 455646 as a residential product, not a commercial one. For a multi-family unit door or a custom home entry it's on spec; for a commercial opening under a hardware schedule, spec a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial handleset or lockset instead, since a dummy set carries no latching or locking function at all.
8) How do I match the Emtek 455646 dummy grip to the active leaf on a double door?
Order the same series and finish in a keyed or passage function for the active leaf, and the 455646 for the inactive one. Both are Rustic Modern Rectangular in the sandcast bronze collection, so the plate shape and the 5-1/2 inch center-to-center layout line up across the pair. Specify the identical finish code (FB, MB, or TWB) on both so the castings read the same.
9) Is the Emtek 455646 a tubular or a mortise handleset?
Tubular. The 455646 is built on Emtek's tubular platform, not the mortise one, so it doesn't need a mortise pocket cut into the door edge. Since this particular one is a dummy, it surface mounts anyway with no prep at all. If your door is already mortised from previous hardware, you want an Emtek mortise handleset, not this.
10) Is the Emtek Rustic Modern Rectangular handleset solid bronze or plated?
Solid bronze. Both the material and substrate are bronze, sandcast rather than stamped or plated, which is why the finishes are named as bronze patinas rather than brass platings. That matters on a coastal or heavy-weather exterior, where a plated finish is the thing that fails first.
11) Is the Emtek 455646 handleset electronic or smart-lock ready?
It's fully mechanical, with no electronics and no keyway. There's nothing to wire, no battery, and no way to add a keypad or smart module to it. If a property needs coded or app-based access at that door, a dummy grip is the wrong starting point.
