Emtek 6802 Tuscany #16 10-1/8" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Privacy - Lost Wax Cast Bronze Tubular

Handing matters. Emtek requires it on the 6802, and it is mandatory for a leverset because a lever has to point away from the hinges. Stand outside the door, on the side it opens away from you: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand. Order the 6802 that way. A knob choice is less sensitive to getting it wrong, but the order still asks for a hand either way.

It is a privacy set, not keyed. The 6802 Tuscany is a non-keyed bed and bath function: it locks from inside the room with a thumbturn-style privacy mechanism and has no cylinder and no key. If you need a lock that takes a key from the hall side, this is the wrong function. It also has no electronics of any kind.

No mortise pocket is needed. Despite the long 10-1/8 inch escutcheon plate, the 6802 is a tubular lock: one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore plus the edge bore for the latch, the same prep as an ordinary bored knob set. Only the plate is long. That is the practical difference between this and a true mortise sideplate lock, which requires a routed pocket in the door edge. If you are retrofitting an existing bored door and want the sideplate look, the tubular construction is what makes it possible without re-machining the door.

The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with solid brass construction and a sideplate design, so it takes a key on both the interior and exterior. That is the pattern used where glass sits near the lock and a thumbturn could be reached through a broken panel. The Emtek 6802 Tuscany does not cover that case at all - it is a non-keyed privacy set with no cylinder on either side. Check local egress code before specifying double cylinder on an exit door.

Yes, within the Tuscany Bronze collection. The 6802 plate can be ordered with any Lost Wax Cast Bronze knob or lever, so the same 10-1/8 inch plate and the same trim design carry across bedroom and bath doors. Keep the finish consistent, Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze, and pick one trim from the sixteen Tuscany styles: Medici, Napoli, Octagon and Padua levers, or Octagon, Parma, Petal, Diamond, Georgetown, Old Town, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell and Windsor knobs, plus Ebony and Ice White porcelain. The 6802 itself is the privacy function only, so an entry door needs the keyed version of the same sideplate rather than this one.

The 6802 ships with its own strike plate, and the latch is offered with a round or square corner faceplate so it can match the mortise already cut in the door edge. On the frame side, if the existing strike is in the same position for a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset tubular latch, the new strike normally goes in the same pocket, though the outline may differ enough to need the mortise cleaned up. Order the faceplate corner style that matches what is in the door and the door-edge cut usually needs nothing.

It is a residential set. Emtek lists the 6802 Tuscany as residential, and the lost wax cast bronze construction and privacy function suit homes and light-duty interior openings. For a commercial corridor or a high-traffic institutional bath, you want a cycle-rated commercial lockset instead of this one.

The 6802 Tuscany is privacy only, no cylinder. For a sideplate design with a real deadbolt, Omnia offers the D12036A single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside, and the D12036AC double cylinder version, keyed on both sides for a door with glass beside it. Both are lever sets with plates rather than bronze Tuscany knobs, so the look is different from Emtek's cast bronze.

No. For a door leaf that is held by a flush bolt or a ball catch and never latches, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch centers, which mounts as trim only. The Emtek 6802 Tuscany is a privacy set built around a working tubular latch and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so ordering it for a dummy application means boring a door that does not need it.

They are not interchangeable by function. The Omnia D12036A, D12036AC and D12036PD are deadbolt lever locksets in single cylinder, double cylinder and double dummy functions respectively. The Emtek 6802 Tuscany is a privacy bed and bath lockset, non-keyed, with a tubular latch on an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and one standard 2-1/8 inch door prep. The sideplate look is shared; the door prep and the locking behavior are not, so confirm the function before substituting on an existing opening.

Bronze, lost wax cast. That casting process is why the Tuscany plates carry the depth and surface texture they do, and bronze is solid metal throughout rather than plated over zinc. Both offered finishes, Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze, are living finishes on cast bronze, so they develop character with handling rather than wearing through to a different base metal.

A privacy set like the Emtek 6802 Tuscany latches and locks from the inside only, with no cylinder, which is what an interior bed or bath door calls for. A deadbolt lever lockset such as the Omnia D12036A in single cylinder combines the lever trim with a keyed deadbolt function, which belongs on an entry or a secured room rather than a bathroom. Match the function to the room first, then the finish - the 6802 comes in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze.
