Emtek 6620-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 6620 Tuscany sideplate lockset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The 6620 Tuscany uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a normal tubular lockset. The latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and the set covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The one thing a plain bored prep does not have is the long sideplate footprint: the plates run 5-1/2 inches center to center, so the face of the door needs to be clear above and below the bore for the plate to sit flat.
2) Do I need to know the handing of my door to order an Emtek 6620 sideplate lockset?
Handing is required on every 6620 order, right hand or left hand. Emtek calls handing out specifically for leversets, since a lever has to point toward the hinge side, but the order asks for it regardless of whether you pick a knob or a lever. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, on your left it is left hand.
3) Is the Emtek 6620 a single cylinder or double cylinder entry lock?
Single cylinder. The 6620 Tuscany is an entry function set keyed from the outside only, with a thumbturn or button on the inside rather than a second keyhole. If the door has glass within reach of the inside trim and your local code or your insurer wants a key on both sides, this is not the set for that opening.
4) Is the Emtek 6620 Tuscany lockset rated for commercial use?
It is a residential lockset. The 6620 is a lost wax cast bronze tubular set built for houses, condo entries and light residential doors. For a commercial opening with high traffic, or where a spec calls for a graded cylindrical or mortise lock, this is the wrong family of product.
5) What is the difference between the Emtek 6620 keyed sideplate lockset and the Omnia D12036A?
Both are 5-1/2 inch center-to-center sideplate locksets with a single cylinder keyed function, so they cover the same opening. The Emtek 6620 is an entry-function tubular lock in bronze, sold as a complete set with knob or lever, latch and strike plate, and the inside trim is selected from Emtek's Tuscany knob and lever designs. The Omnia D12036A is a solid brass lever lockset built around a deadbolt rather than a tubular entry latch, so the throw and the door prep are not the same even though the plate spacing matches.
6) I need a sideplate lockset that keys from both sides - what should I use instead of the Emtek 6620?
The Emtek 6620 is a single cylinder keyed lock, so it takes a key outside and a thumbturn or knob inside. For an opening that has to be keyed from both sides, such as a door with glass beside the lock, the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design. Check the local code for your building before specifying double cylinder on an egress door.
7) Is the Omnia D12036PD a substitute for the Emtek 6620 on an exterior entry door?
No. The D12036PD is a double dummy set - plates and levers only, with no latch and no cylinder, so it will not secure or hold a door closed. The Emtek 6620 is a keyed entry lockset with a single cylinder and a tubular latch. The two share a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center plate layout, which is why they get confused, but only the 6620 locks. For a keyed opening, order the 6620 or a keyed Omnia such as the D12036A single cylinder.
8) Can I get several Emtek 6620 entry sets keyed alike for one house?
Yes, and keying is free either way. You pick keyed alike so every door in the house opens on one key, or keyed different if each opening needs its own. There is also an optional field for keying to a code, which is what you use when you are adding doors to an existing key system and need the new locks cut to the key already in the owner's pocket.
9) What comes in the box with an Emtek 6620 sideplate lockset?
It ships as a complete set: the exterior sideplate with cylinder, the inside knob or lever you selected, the latch, and the strike plate. The latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so you can match whatever the existing mortise in the door edge is cut for. Nothing else is needed for a door already bored 2-1/8 inches.
10) What is the difference between a sideplate lockset and a regular rosette entry set?
A sideplate set puts the knob or lever on a long backplate rather than a small round rose, so it covers more of the door face and reads as a period or Tuscan-style entry. Function is the same tubular bored lock underneath, working in the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The trade-off is prep: a rose set hides behind a 2-1/8 inch hole, while the 6620's plates span 5-1/2 inches center to center and will show any old paint line, filled screw holes or previous plate outline on the door.
11) What else could I use instead of the Emtek 6620 if I want a deadbolt on a sideplate?
The 6620 is a keyed entry lockset, not a deadbolt. If what you actually want is a deadbolt behind a plate, Omnia's D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, and the D12036AC is the double cylinder version if you need key access from both sides. For an inactive leaf or a false door that needs matching trim but no working lock, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy at the same 5-1/2 inch center to center as the Emtek.
12) Will the Emtek 6620 work on a 1-3/8 inch interior-thickness door?
Yes, the range runs 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both the 1-3/4 inch exterior doors most entries use and the thinner 1-3/8 inch doors common on older interior and back openings. There is a door thickness field on the order so you can state yours. Thicker than 1-3/4 inches and this set will not make up the difference.
13) Which 5-1/2 inch center-to-center sideplate lockset works for a residential entry where the door prep is already bored 2-1/8 inch?
The Emtek 6620 fits that prep directly: it uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and it is a residential-rated entry set. The Omnia D12036 sideplate levers at the same 5-1/2 inch spacing are built on a deadbolt rather than a tubular entry latch, so the bore and latch prep differ. If the door is already prepped for a standard tubular entry lock, the 6620 drops into it.
14) What is the 28 degree rotation latch option on the Emtek 6620 for?
It is an optional latch that retracts on a shorter turn of the knob or lever than the standard latch. Pick it when the trim style or the situation calls for less rotation to open; otherwise the standard latch is what ships. Either way the latch handles both the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets.
15) Can I match the Emtek 6620 entry set on interior doors in the same house?
Yes. The 6620 belongs to the Tuscany Bronze collection of lost wax cast bronze trim, and the same knob and lever designs, Medici, Napoli, Octagon, Padua, Parma, Petal, Diamond, Georgetown, Old Town, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell and Windsor, plus the Ebony and Ice White porcelain knobs, run across the collection. Order the entry in Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze and carry the same finish and knob design onto the passage and privacy openings so the whole floor reads as one set.
16) Is the Emtek 6620 solid bronze or plated?
Cast bronze. The 6620 Tuscany trim is lost wax cast bronze, and both offered finishes, Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze, are living finishes on that bronze substrate rather than a coating over pot metal. Expect them to darken and lighten at the wear points over time, which is the point of the finish.
