Emtek 4921-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does double cylinder mean on the Emtek 4921, and when should I not use it?
Double cylinder means the deadbolt takes a key on both sides, inside and out, instead of a thumbturn indoors. It's the usual pick when there is glass in or beside the door and you don't want someone reaching through to turn a knob. The trade-off is that nobody exits without a key in hand, which many jurisdictions restrict on a required egress door. If that's a concern, the single cylinder version of the Imperial handleset with an interior thumbturn is the one to order.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Imperial 4921 handleset?
Handing is required, left or right. Even though the exterior grip is symmetrical, the inside trim drives it: if you pick a lever for the interior, it has to swing the correct way for your door. Stand outside the door, and if the hinges are on the right it's right hand. Knobs are less sensitive, but the order still needs a hand specified.
3) Can I key the Emtek 4921 into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both are covered. The standard cylinder is a Schlage C keyway, and a Weiser WR5 keyway version is offered at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, so it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keying is set at the order: keyed different or keyed alike across multiple sets, and there is a field to key to a specific code if you're matching an existing system.
4) Is the Emtek 4921 handleset a mortise lock or a tubular lock?
Tubular. The 4921 Imperial is a bored tubular handleset, so it installs into standard 2-1/8 inch cross bores rather than requiring a mortise pocket routed into the door edge. If your door is already prepped for a mortise body, this is not a drop-in replacement, you'd want an Emtek mortise handleset instead.
5) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick - will the Emtek 4921 work, or do I need a different handleset?
The Emtek 4921 Imperial covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, so a 2-1/4 inch door is outside that range. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors in single cylinder function. Among electronic options, the Yale Assure BYRD226NRRX and BYRD226CBARX with Ridgefield handleset also list 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
6) What is another solid brass entrance handleset if the Emtek 4921 Imperial trim does not suit the door?
The Deltana Hanover 803871B and the Deltana St. Ann 815871 are both solid brass entry handlesets, as is the Deltana Kingston 825871. All three are entry function like the Emtek 4921, which is a brass tubular handleset in the Imperial series. The Deltana Montego 810871 covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, matching the Emtek 4921's stated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, so it is the closest fit on door prep if you want a different escutcheon shape.
7) The Emtek 4921 is double cylinder - what should I use on a door where a keyed interior is not allowed?
The Emtek 4921 Imperial is double cylinder keyed function, meaning a cylinder on both faces. Where an egress path rules that out, single cylinder handlesets in the set include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever, a Grade 2 entrance handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador, a Grade 3 single cylinder exterior-only trim. The Sure-Loc Madison MA507 and Aspen AN507 are keyed entry handlesets with adjustable backset.
8) Is the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder a direct swap for the Emtek 4921?
No. The Emtek 4921 Imperial is a tubular lock using a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry is mortise trim and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it requires a mortise pocket rather than a bored prep. Both are double cylinder entry, but the door preparation is not interchangeable.
9) The Emtek 4921 is residential - what handleset carries a commercial grade rating?
The Emtek 4921 Imperial is designated residential. If your spec calls for a stated ANSI grade, the Master Lock HDLB series HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2 entrance for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3 entrance handlesets. Note that all of these are single cylinder, where the Emtek 4921 is double cylinder.
10) Which alternative to the Emtek 4921 uses a Kwikset SmartKey or Schlage SC1 keyway rather than Schlage C or Weiser WR5?
The Emtek 4921 Imperial ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard and can be ordered with a Weiser WR5 keyway by adding a W to the front of the product code, with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, so it keys into an existing Weiser system. If you are standardizing on SmartKey instead, the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador uses SmartKey, and the Kwikset 687AMD SMC version pairs SmartKey with an SC1 keyway.
11) What comes in the box with the Emtek 4921 handleset, and do I need a separate deadbolt?
It ships as a complete set including the latch and the strike plate, exterior handle with keyed cylinder, deadbolt, and the interior trim you select. You choose the inside knob or lever separately as part of the order, and that trim is included in the set. No separate deadbolt purchase needed.
12) Can I match the Emtek Imperial handleset to the knobs and levers already on my interior doors?
Yes, and that's the point of how it's ordered. The inside trim can be any Emtek brass knob or lever, so if your interior doors are running something like the Providence knob, the Milano lever, or a crystal knob such as Windsor, the handleset can carry the same one on the inside face. Finishes run across seven options including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Pewter US15A, Polished Chrome US26, Polished Brass US3, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, and French Antique US7. There's also a split finish field if you want the exterior and interior in different finishes.
13) Is the Emtek Imperial handleset rated for commercial use?
It's classed residential. Solid brass construction, American Designer styling, but it's built for homes and residential entries rather than high-traffic commercial openings. For a commercial entry with a grade requirement, look at a Grade 2 handleset such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, or step up to a commercial mortise lockset.
14) I need several Emtek 4921 handlesets for a building, all on one key. Can that be done?
Yes. Keyed alike is an ordering option, so a run of Imperial handlesets can ship on a single key across multiple units. Keyed different is the other choice if each door needs its own key. There's also a keying to code field, which matters if you're expanding an existing Schlage C or Weiser system rather than starting fresh.
15) Will the Emtek 4921 latch work with the strike already in my frame?
The set ships with its own strike plate, so the cleanest install is to use the supplied strike rather than the existing one. The latch supplied as standard is 2-3/8 inch backset; if your door is bored at 2-3/4 inches, that has to be specified on the order or the latch will not reach the edge correctly.
16) Which handlesets have an adjustable backset instead of specifying 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 like the Emtek 4921?
The Emtek 4921 Imperial ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch unless 2-3/4 inch is specified at order. If you would rather stock one part that covers both, the Sure-Loc Alta AT507, Aspen AN507, Coral CR507, and Madison MA507 handlesets are all listed with adjustable backset. The Alta AT507 is also tubular, matching the lock type of the Emtek 4921.
17) I need a keypad or smart lock on the entry door instead of the keyed Emtek 4921 - what handleset options are there?
The Emtek 4921 Imperial is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset. For electronic entry with a handleset grip, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever trim with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale Assure BYRD226CBARX combines a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of that same Ridgefield pairing if you do not want network connectivity.
18) What handleset should I order for the inactive leaf of a pair when the active leaf gets the Emtek 4921?
The Emtek 4921 Imperial is a keyed double cylinder entrance set, so it is not the part for a non-latching leaf. Dummy handlesets in the set include the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob, both dummy function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the same thickness range the Emtek 4921 covers. The Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry handleset, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) Is the Kwikset 687 Amador an equivalent to the Emtek 4921, or is it only part of a set?
They are not equivalent. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is exterior trim only, so interior trim is a separate purchase. The Emtek 4921 Imperial is sold as a complete set including latch and strike plate, with the inside knob or lever style selected at order from the brass trim range. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview is likewise exterior only.
20) What is the difference between the Emtek 4921 handleset and the Baldwin Wesley 180WYH handleset sets?
The Baldwin Wesley handlesets come as a named grip and interior knob pairing, 180WYHXATK with the Alcott knob and 180WYHXCYK with the Carnaby knob, both entrance function. The Emtek 4921 Imperial is also an entrance handleset but the interior knob or lever is chosen separately from the brass trim range at order, and it is double cylinder rather than a fixed interior knob combination. Handing must be specified on the Emtek 4921 when a lever is used inside.
21) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock a substitute for the Emtek 4921 handleset?
No. The Schlage JI18/19 with Torino lever is a passage function interconnected lock with a keyed deadbolt, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 4921 Imperial is a double cylinder entrance handleset with a gripped exterior plate at 5-1/2 inch center-to-center. The two look similar on the door because both stack a deadbolt over lower trim, but the JI18/19 lower lever is passage, not keyed entry.
22) Is there a simpler entry handleset than the Emtek 4921 for a rental unit front door?
The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in satin nickel covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is single cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are fixed configurations. The Emtek 4921 Imperial is solid brass, double cylinder, and requires handing, backset, inside trim style and keying to be chosen at order, which makes it the more configurable set of the three.
