Emtek 6444-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 6444 STRETTO narrow trim lockset fit a narrow stile door or a door with a 1-1/4 inch bore?
That's exactly what the 6444 STRETTO is built for. It uses a narrow 1-1/4 inch bore hole instead of the usual 2-1/8 inch cross bore, with 3-3/8 inch center-to-center hole spacing between the bore and the latch prep. The trim itself is 1-1/2 x 11-1/8 inches, so it suits a narrow stile where a full-size rosette or a standard entry set has nowhere to land. If your door is already bored 2-1/8 inch for a conventional knobset, this is not a drop-in; the 1-1/4 inch prep is smaller and the hole would be oversized.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek 6444 entry lockset cover, and do I have to order a different one for a thick door?
The 6444 covers 1-1/4 inch all the way to 3 inch doors, but the thickness is an order choice, not something you adjust in the field. Three ranges are specified at order time: standard 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 inch, extended 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch, and extended 2-1/4 to 3 inch. Measure the door before you order. A 1-3/4 inch door, the usual commercial and exterior thickness, sits at the top of the standard range.
3) Does the Emtek 6444 STRETTO lockset need to be handed, and what happens if I order the wrong hand?
Handing is required, and it's a specified option: right hand or left hand. It matters for the lever styles, where the lever has to droop toward the door and not away from it. Emtek calls handing out specifically for leversets. If you pick one of the knob options instead, the knob is symmetrical, but the hand is still part of how the set is ordered, so determine it from the outside of the door: standing outside looking at the door, hinges on your right is right hand.
4) Will the Emtek 6444 latch line up with the strike already mortised into my jamb?
Backset is the deciding number, and the 6444 is offered in both common backsets: 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, chosen when you order. 2-3/8 is the standard, and 2-3/4 is the one to pick on a thicker stile or where the existing prep calls for it. The set arrives complete with its own latch and strike plate, so if your existing strike mortise is in a different position you can swap in the supplied strike rather than trying to make the new latch reach the old one. The latch supplied is a 28 degree latch.
5) Can I key several Emtek 6444 Tuscany locksets alike so one key runs all the doors?
Yes. Keying is picked at order time as either keyed alike or keyed different, and there's a field for an existing key code if you're extending a system that's already in the building. Keyed alike is the choice when a homeowner or property manager wants one key for the front, back, and side doors. Keyed different is the default when the units are unrelated. Put the same key code on every line of the order that has to match.
6) Is the Emtek 6444 STRETTO lockset suitable for a commercial building entrance?
Emtek classes the 6444 as residential hardware. It's a bronze tubular entry set built for a house or a residential unit door, not for a high-traffic commercial opening. For a lobby, a stairwell, or anything on a fire-rated opening, a bored or mortise lock specified for commercial duty is the right direction instead. Where it does belong in a multi-family or hospitality setting is on the unit doors themselves, where the narrow 1-1/4 inch prep and the Tuscany trim are the point.
7) What does single cylinder mean on the Emtek 6444, and is there a deadbolt in it?
Single cylinder here means keyed from the outside only, with a thumbturn-free interior operated by the knob or lever you choose. The 6444 is an entry function tubular lockset, one point of latching, not a deadbolt and not a mortise lock. If the opening needs a deadbolt as well, that's a separate piece of hardware ordered alongside it.
8) Do I get to pick the inside knob or lever on the Emtek 6444, and which ones are available?
The inside trim is a required selection, and there are sixteen choices. Levers: Medici, Napoli, Octagon, and Padua. Knobs: Octagon, Parma, Petal, Diamond, Georgetown, Old Town, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, plus two porcelain options in Ebony and Ice White. Remember that choosing a lever brings handing into play in a way the knobs do not.
9) What finishes does the Emtek 6444 Tuscany narrow trim entry set come in?
Two: Flat Black (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are Tuscany Bronze collection finishes on a bronze substrate, so they'll sit alongside other Emtek Tuscany hardware on the same opening, hinges, deadbolts, and interior sets, without the finish reading off. If you're matching brass or nickel hardware elsewhere in the house, this bronze family isn't the one.
10) What comes in the box with the Emtek 6444, and what else do I need to order to finish the door?
It ships as a complete set: exterior narrow trim, the interior knob or lever you selected, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing further is needed to make the lock work on a correctly prepped door. What is not included is a deadbolt, hinges, or any door prep work, so if the door is unbored you'll be cutting a 1-1/4 inch bore with 3-3/8 inch center-to-center spacing to the edge prep before anything mounts.
11) Is the Emtek 6444 an electronic or smart lock?
No, it's fully mechanical. Key on the outside, knob or lever on the inside, no batteries, no keypad, no wiring. If the job calls for keyless entry or access logging, this isn't the platform for it.
12) How thick is the trim plate on the Emtek 6444, and how far does it stand off the door?
The plate is 3/4 inch thick. On a narrow stile that's worth knowing, because the plate depth plus the knob or lever projection is what determines clearance to an adjacent jamb, a storm door, or a screen. The overall trim measures 1-1/2 x 11-1/8 inches.
