Emtek 4701-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to specify handing on an Emtek 4701 dummy handleset?
Handing is required on the order, and it matters most if you choose a lever for the inside trim, since a lever has to point toward the hinge side. Right hand and left hand are both offered. Even with a knob inside, pick the hand that matches the door so the grip and thumbpiece sit correctly.
2) What is the closest dummy handleset alternative to the Emtek 4701 Orleans?
The Emtek 4701 Orleans is a dummy-function handleset in brass. For another non-operating handleset, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest is a dummy handleset supplied with a New Heaven lever and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont is a dummy handleset supplied with an Impresa knob for the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The difference is in the trim: the Orleans dummy is ordered with your choice of Emtek brass knob or lever for the inside, while the Weslock sets come with their trim fixed by model.
3) I need a handleset that actually locks, not a dummy. What should I order instead of the Emtek 4701?
The Emtek 4701 Orleans is non-keyed dummy trim with no latch or cylinder, so it will not secure an opening. For a locking exterior handleset, the Schlage F60 Addison is a Grade 2 single cylinder keyed entry handleset with an Accent lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset for the same thickness range, and the Kwikset 687 Amador is a Grade 3 single cylinder keyed entry handleset for 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the dummy only on an inactive or fixed leaf.
4) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek 4701 Orleans work, or do I need something else?
The Emtek 4701 Orleans covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door is outside its range. Handlesets that reach 2 inches include the Deltana 810871 Montego at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For thicker doors still, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
5) Will the Emtek 4701 Orleans handleset cover the holes from my old handleset?
Its mounting is 5-1/2 inches center to center between the upper and lower fixings, which is the common residential handleset spacing. Measure your existing plate centers first. Because the 4701 is surface mount with no bore required, it will sit over an undrilled door, but it is not sized to conceal a full 2-1/8 inch bore left behind by a bored lockset.
6) What finishes does the Emtek 4701 Orleans handleset come in, and can I mix finishes inside and out?
Seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and French Antique (US7). A split finish option is available if you want the exterior handleset in one finish and the interior trim in another, which is common when the outside has to match the entry hardware and the inside has to match the rest of the house.
7) Is the Emtek 4701 Orleans handleset solid brass, and is it meant for commercial doors?
The 4701 Orleans is brass, from Emtek's Brass collection, and it is a residential product. For a commercial opening that needs a graded lockset, this is not the part. Note also that unlacquered brass (US3NL) is a living finish that will patina over time, while Polished Brass Lifetime holds its shine.
8) What is the difference between the Emtek 4701 dummy handleset and a tubular keyed handleset?
Same tubular platform and the same exterior look, but the 4701 has no latch or cylinder, so nothing holds the door shut on its own. A keyed tubular handleset carries a deadbolt and a latch and needs the door bored for both. Use the dummy on the fixed leaf of a pair so both sides look identical, and put the keyed unit on the active leaf. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset is another dummy option if you need a wider door thickness range.
9) Is the Emtek 4701 Orleans handleset suitable for a commercial opening?
The Emtek 4701 Orleans is a residential tubular handleset in dummy function with no grade rating attached. If a graded product is required, the Schlage F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona are Grade 2 handlesets, the Master Lock HDLB series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Belleview is Grade 3.
10) What is the difference between the Emtek 4701 Orleans and a Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont mortise trim set?
The Emtek 4701 Orleans is a tubular brass handleset in dummy function, surface mounted with no door prep required. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entrance mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door and is offered in single cylinder and double cylinder versions, which means a mortise lock body pocket in the door. They are not interchangeable preps.
11) I want a handleset that looks like the Emtek 4701 Orleans but with a keypad. What are the options?
The Emtek 4701 Orleans is a non-electronic mechanical dummy set. For keypad entry in a handleset format, the Kwikset 815 San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever trim with a contemporary SmartCode electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Assure BYRD226NRRX combines a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, with BYRD226CBARX adding Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
12) Can I use the Emtek 4701 Orleans on a door that needs a deadbolt above the handle?
The Emtek 4701 Orleans is a dummy handleset with no keyed function and no deadbolt. When the opening needs a handle plus deadbolt together, the Master Lock HDLB series is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset, and the Schlage JI18/19 is a Grade 2 interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
