Emtek 4816-US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 4816 Orion handleset fit a 2-1/8 inch bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep?
That is exactly the prep the 4816 Orion is cut for: standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 5-1/2 inch center-to-center between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore. If the door you are replacing on already has a 5-1/2 inch CTC handleset prep, the Orion drops into it with no new boring. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches, so it covers standard 1-3/4 inch entry doors and thicker custom slabs.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an Emtek Orion 4816 handleset?
Handing is required on the 4816 Orion, left or right, and it is a required selection at order time. It matters most in two cases: if you pick 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.
3) Can the Emtek 4816 Orion be keyed into my existing Schlage keys?
Standard cylinder on the 4816 Orion is Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. There is also a Weiser WR5 keyway version at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, which keys into an existing Weiser system. Both keyways are offered across all seven finishes. Keyed alike or keyed different is a required choice when you order, and there is a field for keying to a specific code if you are matching an existing key bitting.
4) What backset do I need for an Orion entry handleset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
Both are available on the 4816 Orion. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch; specify 2-3/4 inch if that is what your door is bored for. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the existing bore. If you are replacing hardware on an existing opening, match what is there rather than reboring.
5) Does the Emtek 4816 handleset come with the latch and strike, or do I need to buy those separately?
Sold as a complete set. The 4816 Orion includes the latch and the strike plate. What you do have to choose is the inside trim, since the interior knob or lever is a required selection, not a default. Pick from the brass knob and lever range (Ace, Spoke, Orb, Round, Square knobs, or levers like Stuttgart, Helios, Athena, Milano and Turino, among others).
6) I have a 2-1/4 inch thick front door, will an Emtek 4816 work?
No. The 4816 Orion covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, so a 2-1/4 inch slab is past its range. For a door that thick, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset is listed at 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Yale Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches if you want a keypad on the door.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 4816 Orion handleset from another brand?
The Emtek 4816 Orion is a single cylinder entry handleset in solid brass with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The nearest peers by function and construction are the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset, which covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Deltana 815871 St. Ann and Deltana 825871 Kingston, both solid brass entry handlesets. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob also fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Emtek differs in that the inside trim is selected separately from the brass knob and lever range rather than fixed to one knob.
8) Which entry handleset should I use on a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
The Emtek 4816 Orion is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, so a heavier door needs a different unit. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry that covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. On the electronic side, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version both cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
9) I need a keyed entry handleset with an ANSI grade for a rental property. What are my options?
The Emtek 4816 Orion is a residential single cylinder entry handleset in brass. Where a graded unit is called for, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 as well. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3 and fit 1-3/4 inch doors, both exterior trim only.
10) Which handlesets look like a substitute for the Emtek 4816 Orion but will not lock the door?
The Emtek 4816 Orion is a keyed single cylinder entry set. Several handlesets of similar appearance are not keyed and will not perform that function: the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever are both dummy function, used on inactive or fixed leaves, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry handleset. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino lever is a passage lock paired with a keyed deadbolt, so the locking is done by the deadbolt rather than by the handleset.
11) What is the difference between the Emtek 4816 Orion and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry trim?
The Emtek 4816 Orion is a tubular lockset supplied as a complete set with latch and strike plate on a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is mortise entry trim for a 1-3/4 inch door and is offered in a single cylinder version and a double cylinder version. Tubular and mortise preps are different door machining, so the two are not interchangeable in an existing opening.
12) Can I key an Emtek 4816 Orion into an existing Kwikset system, or do I need a different handleset?
The Emtek 4816 Orion ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard and can be ordered with a Weiser WR5 keyway instead, which keys into an existing Weiser system at no cylinder substitution charge. For a SmartKey or SC1 based system, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador is offered in a SmartKey version and in an SC1 keyway SmartKey version, both single cylinder keyed entry for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview is a SmartKey single cylinder handleset.
13) Single cylinder handleset next to a sidelite, is that a code problem?
The 4816 Orion is single cylinder, meaning key outside, thumbturn inside. That is the usual choice for a front door, and it is the one that lets anyone get out without a key. On doors with glass within reach of the turn, some jurisdictions push you to a double cylinder instead, which keys both sides. Worth checking your local code before ordering, because the cylinder function is fixed at build.
14) How do I get a deadbolt and latch that retract together on an Emtek Orion handleset?
Add the Emtek 443 Interconnect Device to the 4816 Orion. That is the option that ties the deadbolt to the inside trim so one motion retracts both, which is what people want on a rental or a multi-family unit for single-motion egress. Two things to know: adding it makes handing mandatory, and it is not offered with the double cylinder configuration or the EMPowered upgrade.
15) What finishes does the Emtek Orion brass handleset come in?
Seven: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). The body is solid brass, so unlacquered brass will patina with handling and weather rather than stay bright, which is the point of it if you want the door to age. If you are matching interior hardware in a different metal, there is a split finish option to run the outside and inside trim in two different finishes.
16) Is the Emtek Orion 4816 rated for a commercial building entrance?
It is a residential handleset, tubular rather than mortise. For a house, a townhome, or an apartment unit door it is the right class of hardware. For a commercial opening where you need a graded lock, look at graded residential-plus options instead, such as the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset at Grade 2 or the Schlage F60 Addison at Grade 2. The Orion's strength is the brass body and the trim range, not a commercial cycle rating.
17) What is a comparable solid brass entry handleset to the Emtek Orion?
Within solid brass, Deltana's handlesets are the closest cross-brand match: the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry handlesets, and the Deltana 810871 Montego carries the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range as the Orion. The difference is the trim program. Emtek lets you order the 4816 with any of its brass knobs or levers for the inside, plus a split finish, which is a level of mix-and-match those others do not offer.
18) Is the Emtek Orion handleset a mortise lock or a tubular one?
Tubular. The 4816 Orion uses a bored tubular latch into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, not a mortise pocket routed into the door edge. That matters if you are replacing a mortise handleset, because the door edge prep is completely different and the Orion will not cover a mortise cutout. Going the other direction, a tubular prep is far easier to bore on a new door or retrofit an existing bored opening.
19) Is there an electronic keypad option instead of a keyed handleset like the Emtek 4816?
The Emtek 4816 Orion is a mechanical, non-electronic keyed handleset. For keypad access on the same door, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen control with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free touchscreen version with the Ridgefield passage handleset.
20) I want a handleset with a knob on the inside rather than a lever. What are the choices next to the Emtek 4816?
The Emtek 4816 Orion accepts any brass knob or lever for the inside trim, and handing only has to be specified when a lever is used inside or an interconnect device is added. Peers that come knob-configured include the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder with Hudson knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
21) What should I use if I need a double cylinder entry set rather than the single cylinder Emtek 4816 Orion?
The Emtek 4816 Orion is a single cylinder entrance handleset, keyed from the outside only. Where a key is required on both sides, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the double cylinder counterpart in the set, built for 1-3/4 inch doors; the same 6542 Tremont is also made in a single cylinder entry version. Note that the 6542 is mortise trim, so the door prep differs from the tubular 4816.
22) Will the Emtek Orion look right on a modern front door?
The Orion is Emtek's contemporary styling, so it reads clean and squared rather than traditional. It pairs naturally with the contemporary inside trim in the range, things like the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar levers, the Conical knurled knobs, or the Ace knob. If the rest of the house is colonial or traditional, the trim list also carries Rope, Ribbon and Reed, Victoria and Providence patterns, though the exterior handle itself stays contemporary.
