Emtek 4717-US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 4717 handleset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a thicker one?
Door thickness range on the 4717 Transitional Heritage handleset is 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so a 1-3/8 inch door is fine and so is a heavy 2 inch entry slab. That range covers standard 1-3/4 inch exterior doors without any special order. There is a door thickness field on the order form, so give the actual measured thickness of the slab rather than assuming.
2) Does the Emtek 4717 handleset drop into an existing door prep, or do I have to re-bore the door?
Standard prep. The 4717 uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the deadbolt and the knob or lever bore, which is the common residential handleset prep. If your existing handleset was on 5-1/2 inch centers with 2-1/8 inch bores, the 4717 goes into the same holes. Backset is where you have to pay attention: the standard latch is 2-3/8 inch, and 2-3/4 inch must be specified when you order.
3) How do I measure backset for an Emtek entry handleset, and which one do I order?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch are the two backsets offered on the 4717, and 2-3/8 inch is what ships unless you pick 2-3/4 inch on the order. Backset is a required selection, so it is not something you can correct after the fact by adjusting the latch.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 4717 handleset?
Handing is a required selection, left hand or right hand, on every 4717 order. It matters in two cases in particular: if you choose a lever for the inside trim, or if you add the interconnect device. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand. Get this wrong with a lever and the lever points the wrong way.
5) Can I key an Emtek 4717 handleset to my existing Schlage keys?
The 4717 ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard, so it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C system. If your building is on Weiser, the same handleset is available with the Weiser WR5 keyway instead at no cylinder upcharge, and it will key into an existing Weiser system. Keying is selected on the order as keyed different or keyed alike, and there is a field to key to a specific code.
6) What comes in the box with an Emtek 4717 handleset, and what else do I need to buy?
Sold as a complete set with the latch and the strike plate included. What is not automatic is the inside trim: the knob or lever style for the interior is a required selection, chosen from the Emtek brass knob and lever range, so nothing ships until you pick it. Options run from levers like Stuttgart, Athena and Milano to knobs including the Ace, Orb, Egg and crystal knobs such as Windsor and Georgetown.
7) Can I make the Emtek 4717 deadbolt and latch retract together with one motion?
Yes, by adding the Emtek 443 Interconnect Device as an option on the order. That links the interior lever or knob to the deadbolt so one turn retracts both, which is what people usually want on an apartment or a rental entry door. Two conditions: it is not available with double cylinder or the EMPowered upgrade, and specifying it makes handing mandatory.
8) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick. Will an Emtek 4717 handleset fit?
The Emtek 4717 covers doors from 1-3/8 inches to 2 inches, so a 2-1/4 inch door is past its range. For a thicker door, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches. On the electronic side, the Yale Assure BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version both cover 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches. Measure the door at the lock edge before ordering, since the cross bore prep is a separate question from the thickness.
9) What should I use instead of an Emtek 4717 if the unit needs keypad or app entry?
The Emtek 4717 is a mechanical, non-electronic single cylinder entry handleset. For keyed and coded access on the same opening, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and ships with the RCAL latch and RCS strike. The Yale Assure BYRD226CBARX combines a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim. Note the passage function on that last one, which means the handleset itself does not lock and all security sits in the deadbolt.
10) What is the closest solid brass alternative to the Emtek 4717 handleset if I want a different exterior plate style?
Stay within solid brass entry handlesets and the Deltana Hanover 803871B, St. Ann 815871, and Kingston 825871 are all solid brass handlesets in an entry function, the same keyed entry function the Emtek 4717 carries. The difference is the plate design and how the interior side is configured: the 4717 is a monolithic brass handleset that takes any Emtek brass knob or lever for the inside trim, so the interior style is chosen separately from the exterior grip. The Deltana Hanover, St. Ann, and Kingston are each sold as a named handleset design. Pick by which exterior plate profile suits the door.
11) I need an ANSI grade stated for a spec submittal on an entry handleset. What are my options?
The Emtek 4717 is a residential handleset. Where a submittal calls for a stated grade, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2, as is the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever, though the JE285 is a non-keyed entry function rather than keyed. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2 in an entrance function. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3 and are exterior trim only. Match the grade line on the drawing before choosing the style.
12) Is the Kwikset 687AMD Amador handleset a drop-in replacement for an Emtek 4717?
They are not the same package. The Emtek 4717 is sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate, and the interior knob or lever is chosen as part of the order. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is exterior trim only, in both the SmartKey version and the SC1 keyway SmartKey version, so an interior trim has to be sourced to complete the door. Keying differs too: the 4717 ships with a Schlage C keyway and can be ordered with a Weiser WR5 cylinder instead, while the 687AMD uses SmartKey. If an existing Schlage or Weiser key system has to be maintained, that is the deciding difference.
13) What is the difference between the Emtek 4717 and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry trim?
The Emtek 4717 is a tubular bored lockset with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep, and it ships complete with latch and strike. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, offered as single cylinder in the 6542ENTR and double cylinder in the 6542DBLC. Mortise trim goes on a mortise pocket, not a bored door, so the two are not interchangeable without changing the door prep. If the door already has a standard bored prep, the tubular route is the one that matches it.
14) Do any of the alternatives to the Emtek 4717 work with an existing Weiser key system?
The Emtek 4717 is built for that. It ships standard with a Schlage C keyway and can be ordered with a Weiser WR5 cylinder at no upcharge for the substitution, which lets it be keyed into an existing Weiser system; both keyways are offered across the full finish range including oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel, flat black, polished chrome, unlacquered brass, satin brass, and lifetime polished nickel. Among the alternatives, the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador uses an SC1 keyway with SmartKey and the 687AMD SMT uses SmartKey, so those follow a Kwikset keying path rather than a Weiser one.
15) I need six front doors on one key. Can Emtek 4717 handlesets be keyed alike?
Keyed alike is one of the keying selections on the 4717, so a run of them can come from the factory on a single key, which is what you want across a set of units or a multi-building property. There is also a keying-to-code field if your property already runs a code you need matched. Whichever way you go, all the handlesets in the order have to be on the same keyway, Schlage C or Weiser WR5.
16) What is a monolithic handleset, and how is it different from a two-piece one?
Monolithic means the exterior grip and the escutcheon are a single continuous brass casting rather than separate plates stacked over the bore holes. On the 4717 that one piece covers both the deadbolt and the knob or lever bore on 5-1/2 inch centers. Practical effect: fewer seams on the exterior face, and the prep has to be accurate because a single plate cannot be shifted to hide a bore that was drilled off-center.
17) Is the Emtek 4717 single cylinder, and can I get a thumbturn versus a key on the inside?
Single cylinder is the function: key on the outside, thumbturn on the inside. That is the usual choice for a door with glass nearby only where local code permits a thumbturn, and it is the configuration that lets someone exit without hunting for a key. The 4717 is an entry function set, so the handle operates the latch and the deadbolt is thrown separately.
18) What finishes does the Emtek 4717 come in, and can the outside and inside be different finishes?
Seven finishes on the 4717: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). Split finish is available as an option, so the exterior can be one finish and the interior trim another, which is how you match a bronze street-facing elevation to a nickel interior scheme. Note that Unlacquered Brass will patina over time; it is not a sealed finish.
19) Is the Emtek 4717 handleset suitable for a commercial building entrance?
The 4717 is a residential-duty tubular handleset in solid brass. For a house, a townhome, or a multi-family unit entry door it is the right class of product. For a commercial opening carrying code-required duty, this is not the category to shop; you want a commercial mortise or cylindrical lockset instead. Buyers who need a stated duty grade in this residential handleset format have options in the same range, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, listed as Grade 2.
20) What is the closest solid brass alternative to the Emtek 4717 handleset from another brand?
Deltana's handlesets are the nearest solid brass entry sets in the same vein: the 810871 Montego, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, matches the 4717's door thickness range exactly. Deltana also does the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all solid brass entry function. Where the 4717 differs is the ordering: it lets you pick the interior knob or lever separately and choose Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway.
21) I need a matching non-locking handleset for a French door or inactive leaf. What pairs with a keyed entry handleset?
The Emtek 4717 is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset, so it is not the part for an inactive leaf. Dummy handlesets that fill that role include the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob, both dummy function. The 2815 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and so does the 6695, the same thickness range the Emtek 4717 covers. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob is the keyed counterpart in the Hillcrest style if both leaves need to look alike with one side keyed.
22) Which handleset should I choose for an apartment door that needs a lever inside and a keyed deadbolt, without full interconnect?
The Emtek 4717 handles this as an entry handleset with a lever chosen for the inside trim, and it can be ordered with the Emtek 443 interconnect device when the deadbolt and latch need to retract together; handing must be specified when a lever is used inside or when interconnect is added. If the opening is better served by a factory interconnected unit, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The trade is style range against a pre-built interconnected assembly.
23) Is there a simpler single cylinder handleset than the Emtek 4717 for a rental turnover?
For a straightforward keyed entry handleset with fewer ordering decisions, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset comes in a satin nickel finish in an entry function and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered as an entrance function paired with an Alcott knob in the 180WYHXATK or a Carnaby knob in the 180WYHXCYK, so the interior knob is decided by which part number is ordered. The Emtek 4717 goes the other way: finish, keyway, backset, handing, and any of the brass knob or lever styles for inside trim are each specified at order, which is what makes it fit an existing key system and an existing door.
24) Which handleset alternative fits a 1-3/4 inch exterior door where the Emtek 4717 is one of several options?
A 1-3/4 inch door is inside the Emtek 4717 range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so it fits. Several alternatives also land on 1-3/4 inch: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch at Grade 2, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview is specified at 1-3/4 inch as exterior trim only. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the same span as the 4717. Where the door may later be swapped for a thicker slab, the wider ranges leave more room.
