Emtek 474222-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 474222 Octagon handleset fit a 1-3/4 inch entry door?
Yes. The 474222 Octagon grip by grip handleset covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inches, so a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door is right in the middle of the range. Door thickness is an order field, so if your door is thicker than the standard 1-3/4 inch build you enter the actual thickness when you order.
2) What is a grip by grip entrance handleset and how is it different from a handleset with an interior knob or lever?
Grip by grip means you get a thumb-piece style gripped handle on both the outside and the inside of the door instead of a knob or lever on the inside. On the 474222 it is set up as a double cylinder function, meaning it is keyed from both sides rather than using a thumbturn inside. That suits a door with adjacent glass where you do not want a turn piece reachable, but it also means anyone leaving needs a key. If you want key outside and thumbturn inside, choose a single cylinder handleset instead.
3) Which backset do I need to order for the Emtek Octagon handleset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
Both are offered and backset is a required selection on the 474222. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore: 2-3/8 inch is common on residential doors, 2-3/4 inch on wider stiles and many newer builds. The standard latch ships for 2-3/8 inch, so 2-3/4 inch has to be called out.
4) Will the Emtek 474222 drop into my existing door prep without new boring?
It uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore. If your door already has a standard 2-1/8 inch bore at 5-1/2 inch CTC and a matching 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, it goes in without new boring. If your existing handleset uses a different CTC, the escutcheon holes will not line up and the door needs re-prep.
5) Can the Emtek Octagon handleset be keyed into the locks I already have?
It depends on your keyway. Standard cylinders are Schlage C, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. If your property runs on Weiser, a Weiser WR5 keyway is available as an option at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution and can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keying to code is an order field, and you also choose keyed alike or keyed different.
6) I am putting these on several units. Can all the Octagon handlesets be on one key?
Yes. Keyed alike is one of the keying selections on the 474222, so a run of handlesets can be set to a single key, or keyed different if each opening needs its own. There is also a keying-to-code field if you need them cut to a specific existing code so the new handlesets match keys already in circulation. Remember this is a double cylinder function, keyed on both sides, so the inside cylinder keys to the same system.
7) What finishes does the Emtek 474222 Octagon handleset come in?
Two bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are on lost wax cast bronze, a solid bronze casting rather than plated zinc, which is why the finishes tone and patina the way they do on an exterior door. If you want the exterior and interior sides in different finishes, there is an optional split finish field on the order.
8) Is the Emtek Octagon grip by grip handleset rated for commercial openings?
No, it is a residential product. The 474222 is a tubular bored lockset in a residential grade, so for a commercial entrance, a school, or anywhere subject to egress hardware requirements you want a cylindrical or mortise commercial lock instead. On a house, a custom home front door, or a high-end multi-family unit entry it is in its element.
9) Is the Emtek 474222 a tubular or a mortise handleset?
Tubular. The 474222 Octagon is a bored, tubular handleset, which means it installs into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore plus the deadbolt bore rather than requiring a pocket routed into the door edge. That makes it the easier retrofit on an existing door. If your door is already prepped for a mortise lock body, a tubular set is not a direct swap.
10) Will the Octagon handleset match other Emtek hardware already in the house?
The 474222 sits in Emtek's Tuscany theme and the Tuscany Bronze collection, so it lines up with other Tuscany Bronze pieces for interior levers, knobs and bath hardware carried in the same finishes. Matching across a whole house is easiest if you hold to one of the two offered finishes, Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze, across every opening.
11) Is the Emtek Octagon double cylinder handleset electronic or keypad operated?
No. The 474222 is fully mechanical, key operated on both sides. There is no keypad, no motor and no wiring, so no power or hub is needed at the door. If you want code or app entry on the same opening, you would pair a separate electronic deadbolt with a passage handleset rather than use this set.
