Emtek 4827-US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 4827 Ares handleset fit my existing door prep?
The Ares 4827 uses a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the deadbolt and the knob or lever bore. If your door already has a 5-1/2 inch CTC handleset prep, it drops in. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches, so it covers standard 1-3/4 inch entry doors as well as thicker slabs. Backset ships 2-3/8 inch standard, with 2-3/4 inch available if that is what your door is bored for.
2) What does double cylinder mean on the Emtek 4827 Ares handleset, and can I use it on a door with glass?
Double cylinder means the deadbolt is keyed on both sides: there is no thumbturn inside, so you need a key to throw or retract the bolt from within. That is the reason people specify it on doors with glass panels or a sidelight next to the lock, since breaking the glass and reaching through does not get the door open. The tradeoff is egress: a key has to stay accessible to anyone inside. If you want a thumbturn inside instead, order the single cylinder version of the handleset rather than the 4827.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Emtek Ares 4827 handleset?
Handing is required, left or right. Emtek asks for it whenever a lever is used on the inside trim, or whenever an interconnect device is specified, because the lever has to swing the correct way for the door. Determine the hand from outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand. Both RH and LH are ordering choices on the set.
4) Can the Emtek Ares handleset be keyed into my existing Schlage or Weiser key system?
Both keyways are offered. Schlage C is the standard cylinder, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available at no upcharge for cylinder substitution, which lets the handleset be keyed into an existing Weiser system. The Weiser version is specified by adding a W to the front of the product code. Keyed alike or keyed different are both order options, and there is a keying to code field if you need it cut to a specific bitting on an existing system.
5) What comes in the box with the Emtek 4827 Ares handleset, and do I need to buy the inside knob separately?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. The inside trim is not preselected though: you choose the interior knob or lever when you order, from any Emtek brass knob or lever. That covers the contemporary options like the Stuttgart and Helios levers, the Ace and Spoke knobs, and the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble, through to traditional choices like the Victoria knob or Rope lever. It counts as part of the same order, not a separate purchase.
6) I have a 2 inch thick front door. Which handlesets will actually fit?
The Ares 4827 covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors, so a 2 inch slab is inside its range. Most residential handlesets stop short of that: the Schlage F60 Addison and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both top out at 1-3/4 inches, and the Kwikset 687 Amador and Belleview are 1-3/4 inch only. If you need to go past 2 inches, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches. There is a door thickness field on the order so you can state your actual slab.
7) I need a handleset for a 1-3/4 inch mortise-prepped door - can I use the Emtek 4827 Ares?
The 4827 Ares is a tubular lock with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. A door already prepped for a mortise lock body is a different preparation. For a mortise opening, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the direct match, available as single cylinder (6542ENTR) or double cylinder (6542DBLC), both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) What should I use instead of the Emtek 4827 if I want a key on the outside but a thumbturn inside?
The 4827 Ares is a double cylinder entrance handleset, meaning it takes a key on both sides. For single cylinder operation, comparable keyed entry handlesets include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is also offered in a single cylinder entry version if the door is prepped for mortise trim.
9) Which handlesets carry an ANSI grade if the Emtek 4827 Ares does not meet my facility spec?
The 4827 Ares is a residential handleset. Where a submittal calls for a graded lock, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona handlesets are both Grade 2, as is the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exterior handlesets are Grade 3.
10) Which handlesets look like the Emtek 4827 Ares but will not lock the door?
The 4827 Ares is a keyed entrance handleset. Two comparable handlesets share the exterior appearance of a handleset but do not key: the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever are both dummy function, meaning fixed trim with no latch operation. The Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry handleset. Order those only for an inactive leaf or a door where locking is handled by a separate deadbolt.
11) I key my properties to Kwikset SmartKey - is the Emtek 4827 Ares compatible, or do I need a different handleset?
The 4827 Ares ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard, or a Weiser WR5 keyway if W is added to the front of the product code, which can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. It does not use SmartKey. For a SmartKey system, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador exterior handleset is offered in SmartKey (687AMD SMT) and in an SC1 keyway SmartKey version (687AMD SMC), and the 687BW Belleview is offered in SmartKey. Those three are single cylinder exterior-only trim, so the inside trim is ordered separately.
12) What finishes does the Emtek Ares 4827 handleset come in, and can I match it to the rest of my hardware?
Seven finishes, each available with either cylinder keyway: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). There is also a split finish field if you want the exterior handle in one finish and the interior trim in another, which is what people use when the outside has to match the entry package and the inside has to match the rest of the house. Unlacquered brass will patina over time rather than holding its as-shipped look.
13) Is the Emtek Ares handleset suitable for a commercial entry door in an office or apartment building?
The Ares 4827 is a residential handleset, tubular construction in solid brass. For a single-family entry, a condo unit door or a leasing office front, it is the right class of product. For a commercial opening that has to meet a cycle grade, look at a graded lock instead: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset are both Grade 2. Fire rated openings and stairwell doors are a different product category altogether and a residential tubular handleset does not belong on them.
14) Is the Ares 4827 a tubular or a mortise handleset, and does that matter for my door?
Tubular. The 4827 uses a bored 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep rather than a mortise pocket cut into the edge of the door, which is why it goes onto a standard drilled door without routing. If your door is already mortised for a lock body, this is the wrong construction and you want mortise trim instead, such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont, which is offered in double cylinder entry as well.
15) I am doing several doors on one property. Can I get Emtek Ares handlesets keyed alike?
Keyed alike is a free option on the order, as is keyed different if the doors need separate keys. If the building is already on a Schlage C or a Weiser WR5 system, pick the matching keyway and use the keying to code field to have the cylinders cut to your existing bitting, so one key stays good across the openings. Ordering keyed different on a multi-door job and then trying to rekey later is the more expensive path.
16) Will the Emtek Ares 4827 latch into the strike plate that is already in my jamb?
A strike plate is included with the set, so the usual approach is to swap it in rather than reuse the old one. The thing that decides whether the existing hole in the jamb still lines up is the backset: order 2-3/8 inch if the door was bored at 2-3/8, 2-3/4 inch if it was bored at 2-3/4. Those are the two standard residential backsets, and getting it wrong shifts the bolt off the strike pocket entirely.
17) Is there a handleset like the Emtek 4827 Ares that works with a keypad or app instead of a key?
The 4827 Ares is a non-electronic keyed handleset. For electronic entry with the same handleset appearance, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock line pairs a touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset: BYRD226NRRX is standalone, BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and BYRD256 CBARX is a key free touchscreen with the Ridgefield passage handleset. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt. All of the Yale units are listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, so confirm door thickness before substituting.
18) What is the closest solid brass handleset to the Emtek 4827 Ares if I want a traditional look instead of contemporary?
The Emtek 4827 Ares is a brass tubular handleset in a contemporary style. If the opening calls for a traditional exterior plate in solid brass, Deltana offers several entry handlesets in solid brass: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function. All four are keyed entry handlesets in brass, so the difference is the escutcheon design rather than the material.
19) I need a handleset that locks the passage lever and the deadbolt together - does the Emtek 4827 Ares do that?
The 4827 Ares is a double cylinder entrance handleset, and handing must be specified if an interconnect device is called out. For a factory interconnected assembly, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 pairs an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and a Torino lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Note that the JI18/19 lever is passage function, with the locking handled by the deadbolt.
20) I want a handleset with a knob on the inside rather than a lever - what are my options next to the Emtek 4827 Ares?
The 4827 Ares takes any Emtek brass knob or lever as inside trim, ordered as a separate selection, so a knob interior is available on it. Among comparable handlesets sold with the knob already paired, the Baldwin Wesley handleset comes with an Alcott knob (180WYHXATK) or a Carnaby knob (180WYHXCYK), both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest comes with the Hudson knob.
