Emtek 462111-FBS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does double cylinder mean on the Emtek 462111 handleset, and do I need a key on the inside?
Double cylinder means keyed on both faces. The 462111 takes a key outside and a key inside, with no thumbturn, so nobody can reach through broken glass and turn the lock open. The trade-off is that you need a key in hand to get out, which is why it is normally chosen for doors with glass alongside them. If you want a thumbturn inside, order the single cylinder version of the same Lafayette grip instead.
2) Which backset do I order for the Emtek Lafayette handleset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Both are offered and you pick one when ordering. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore: 2-3/8 inches is the common residential dimension, 2-3/4 inches shows up on thicker or commercial-style doors. The standard latch shipped with the 462111 is the 2-3/8 inch one, so the 2-3/4 has to be called out specifically.
3) Can I key the Emtek 462111 into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are available. The 462111 ships standard with a Schlage C cylinder, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder can be ordered in its place at no upcharge, which lets it key into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike and keyed different are both order options, and it can be cut to a specific key code if you supply one.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Lafayette handleset?
Handing is called out on every order, left or right. It matters most when the inside trim is a lever, since a lever has to point toward the hinge side, so the 462111 requires the hand to be stated. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on your left is left hand.
5) What comes in the box with the Emtek 462111 handleset, and what else do I need to buy?
It is a complete set: exterior Lafayette grip, latch and strike plate all included. What you still choose is the inside trim, since the handleset is sold with an inside knob or lever selected at order time. Seven choices are offered: Lafayette, Normandy and San Carlos levers, and Jamestown, Savannah, Madison Black and Madison Ivory knobs. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a properly bored door.
6) I have a thick 2 inch door. Which handleset will actually fit?
The Emtek 462111 Lafayette handleset works up to 2 inches, so it covers a full 2 inch door. Several common handlesets do not: the Kwikset Amador and Belleview, the Schlage F60 Addison and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont trim are all listed for thinner doors. If you are over 2 inches, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches and the Yale Assure with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
7) Can the Emtek 462111 replace an existing handleset without redrilling the door?
If the door already has a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the deadbolt and the knob bore, the 462111 drops into that prep. Match the backset too, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4, since the latch is ordered to one of them. A door prepped at a different center-to-center spacing will not line up and needs new boring or a filler plate.
8) I do not want a key on the inside of the door - what handleset should I use instead of the Emtek 462111?
The Emtek 462111 Lafayette is keyed on both sides, so the inside requires a key to operate. Where a keyed inside is not wanted, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim covers the same entrance function with one cylinder, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 single cylinder entrance set fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Double cylinder is commonly chosen for doors with glass near the lock; single cylinder is the usual choice where egress by thumbturn is wanted.
9) Which handleset fits the same door thickness range as the Emtek 462111?
The Emtek 462111 Lafayette handleset covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset carries the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, and among Weslock sets the 2810 Hillcrest Single Cylinder Handleset with Hudson Knob also covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Several other handleset options are narrower or thicker: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison stops at 1-3/4 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial starts at 1-3/4 inch and runs to 2-1/4 inch, so neither suits a 1-3/8 inch door and a 2 inch door from the same order.
10) Is the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handleset a substitute for the Emtek 462111?
No. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven Lever is a dummy function handleset - it has no latch and no cylinder, and is used on an inactive leaf or a pull-only door. The Emtek 462111 Lafayette is a keyed double cylinder entry set sold complete with latch and strike. The Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa Knob is likewise dummy function. If a door needs to latch and lock, neither of those replaces the 462111.
11) I need to key the new handleset into an existing Kwikset SmartKey system - can I use the Emtek 462111?
The Emtek 462111 Lafayette ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard and can be ordered with a Weiser WR5 keyway at no cylinder upcharge, which keys into an existing Weiser system. It does not offer SmartKey. For a SmartKey system, the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador Single Cylinder Handleset is a Grade 3 entrance set with SmartKey for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the 687AMD SMC is the same Amador set with an SC1 keyway SmartKey cylinder. Both Amador sets are exterior trim only, so inside trim is ordered separately, whereas the Emtek 462111 is sold as a complete set with the inside knob or lever chosen with the order.
12) Which handleset carries an ANSI grade if the Emtek 462111 is being specified for a facility?
The Emtek 462111 Lafayette is a residential-classified handleset. Where a graded product is required, the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview and 687AMD Amador handlesets are Grade 3 entrance sets for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied as exterior trim only.
13) Is the Emtek Wrought Steel Lafayette handleset actually steel or a plated casting?
Steel, both material and substrate, from the Wrought Steel collection with a rustic hand-forged look. It comes in Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel finishes. That is a different construction from the solid brass handlesets in the same category, like the Deltana Hanover or Kingston, if you are matching to existing brass hardware on a building.
14) Is the Emtek 462111 handleset rated for a commercial opening or apartment entry doors?
It is a residential-duty product. The 462111 is a tubular lockset built for house and unit entry doors, not a commercial-grade device. If you are speccing to a grade for a multi-family or commercial opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series handleset are both listed at Grade 2, and Kwikset's 687 Amador and Belleview handlesets at Grade 3.
15) Should I use a keyed handleset like the Emtek 462111 or an electronic keypad handleset on my front door?
The 462111 is a mechanical, non-electronic set: key both sides, nothing to power or pair. Choose it when you want the grip look and keyed control with no batteries and no app. If you want code or phone entry, the Yale Assure with Ridgefield handleset is offered standalone or with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the Kwikset San Clemente pairs a SmartCode keypad deadbolt with a Halifax lever. Those all pair the handleset with an electronic deadbolt rather than a keyed cylinder.
16) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock the same thing as the Emtek 462111 handleset?
No. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino Lever is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt - the lever itself is passage function and the locking is done by the separate deadbolt, retracted together by one motion of the lever. The Emtek 462111 Lafayette is a bored tubular handleset in entry function with double cylinder keying. The JI18/19 covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Emtek 462111 goes to 2 inch. They prep differently and are not interchangeable on an existing opening.
17) What handleset and knob combination is comparable to the Emtek 462111 with its inside knob options?
The Emtek 462111 Lafayette grip is ordered with the inside trim chosen from Lafayette, Normandy or San Carlos levers, or Jamestown, Savannah, Madison Black or Madison Ivory knobs. Baldwin offers its Wesley handleset pre-paired with an interior knob in entrance function two ways: the 180WYHXATK with the Alcott knob and the 180WYHXCYK with the Carnaby knob. Weslock pairs its 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with the Hudson knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder set with the Eleganti knob for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
18) I want a key-free entry set instead of the double cylinder Emtek 462111 - what are the options?
The Emtek 462111 Lafayette requires a key on both sides. For an opening where no key is wanted at all, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt pairs with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim, connected by August over Wi-Fi, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and the Ridgefield handleset, ordered as BYRD256CBARX, covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, which is the wider band if the door is on the thinner side.
19) Can I get the Emtek Lafayette handleset in a different finish inside than outside?
Yes, split finish is an order option on the 462111, so you can run one finish on the exterior grip and another on the interior knob or lever. The two Wrought Steel finishes are Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel. That is how people match a black exterior to interior trim that follows the rest of the house.
