Emtek 7070 Sandcast Bronze #5 3-5/8" C-to-C Keyed Sideplate Tubular Lockset, Passage/Single Keyed

Yes. The 7070 Sandcast Bronze sideplate lockset covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it works on both older interior slabs and standard 1-3/4 inch entry doors. It goes into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the latch adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset, so an existing bored door prep usually takes it without new boring. What it will not do is reuse an existing bore spacing on the sideplate itself, since the plate is drilled 3-5/8 inch center to center.

Single cylinder. The 7070 is an entry function tubular lockset keyed on the outside with a thumbturn or knob release inside, so it is the normal choice for a front or side entry door where you do not have glass within reach of the inside trim. If your local code or the door has glazing that rules out an inside turn, you want a double cylinder product instead, such as the Omnia D12036AC double cylinder sideplate lever lockset.

It is a residential lockset. For apartment unit doors, single family rentals, and interior residential openings it is the right category, but for a commercial entrance carrying public traffic you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lever set with a commercial rating rather than a sandcast bronze sideplate lock. Property managers standardizing a building often use the 7070 on unit front doors and a separate commercial lock on the common entries.

Handing is required. Stand outside the door, on the side you enter from: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand. Get it wrong on a lever and the lever points the wrong way once installed. The description calls handing out specifically for leversets, and it is a required selection on the order either way.

The Omnia D12036A is the nearest cross-brand match. Both are keyed entry sideplate locksets operated by a key outside and a thumbturn or lever inside: the Emtek 7070 is a tubular lockset with a Single Cylinder keyed function, and the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass. The differences a buyer weighs are material and trim - the 7070 is bronze in the Sandcast Bronze collection, ordered with a knob or lever style for the inside trim, while the Omnia is solid brass construction.

The Emtek 7070 is a Single Cylinder keyed lockset, so the interior side is operated without a key. For an opening that requires key operation from both sides - typically a door with glazing beside or within it, where an inside thumbturn could be reached - the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with a sideplate design in solid brass. Local code governs whether a double cylinder function is permitted on an egress door, so confirm the requirement for the building before specifying it.

No. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates - a dummy set has no latch or cylinder and is surface mounted as pull trim only, so it will not secure or latch a door. The Emtek 7070 is a keyed entry lockset with a Single Cylinder function and an Entry lock function. The D12036PD suits an inactive leaf of a pair or a closet door that needs matching trim without operation; a door that has to lock takes the 7070 or another keyed set. Note also that the D12036PD is 5-1/2 inch center to center while the 7070 is 3-5/8 inch, so the two do not share a plate footprint or door prep pattern.

Yes. Keying is a required selection and both keyed different and keyed alike are offered, and there is a keying to code entry if you need the locks cut to an existing key code so the new hardware matches doors you already have. That is the option to use when you are replacing one entry out of several and do not want a second key on the ring.

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 rustic or period entry. The 7070 plate is 3-5/8 inch center to center in sandcast bronze. Mechanically it is still a tubular bored lock in a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so the door prep is the same as a rose set. Choose it for the look and the coverage, not for a different level of security.

The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, the closest cross-brand equivalent in function. The practical difference is material and look: the Emtek 7070 is sandcast bronze in three bronze finishes, the Omnia is solid brass. Both are single cylinder. If you are matching existing Emtek sandcast bronze elsewhere in the building, stay with the 7070.

The Emtek 7070 is an Entry function keyed lockset, so on the active leaf it is the correct set. The fixed or inactive leaf does not need a latch or cylinder, and the usual approach is trim-only hardware on that side - the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy sideplate lever set with plates that serves that role, at 5-1/2 inch center to center. If the two leaves have to read identically, the 7070 can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze knob or lever style for the inside trim, so match the design family first and confirm the plate dimensions before committing to a mixed pair.

The two Omnia sets share the same sideplate lever platform and differ by keyed function: the D12036A is single cylinder and the D12036AC is double cylinder with a sideplate design, both in solid brass. The Emtek 7070 lines up with the D12036A on function, since the 7070 is a Single Cylinder keyed lockset. The distinction that matters for a distributor or specifier ordering against a schedule is that the AC suffix on the Omnia denotes the double cylinder version, so a schedule calling for key-both-sides needs the AC part number rather than the plain D12036A.

The Emtek 7070 is a bronze sideplate tubular lockset in the Sandcast Bronze collection, offered in Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB) - living finishes that patina rather than plate. The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are solid brass construction. The 7070 is designated Residential, so for a high-traffic commercial opening the specification should be checked against the facility's grade requirement before it is used as a substitute for a commercial-rated set.

The inside trim is a separate required selection with 25 choices in the sandcast bronze range, ten levers (Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton, Yuma) and fifteen knobs including Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town, and Providence. All of them mount to the same sideplate and the same door prep, so you can vary the grip across openings and keep the plate and finish consistent.

Sandcast bronze. Bronze is the substrate on both the sideplate and the trim, and the finishes offered (Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, Tumbled White Bronze) are living finishes on that bronze, meaning they develop a patina with handling and weather rather than staying uniform. If you are matching several exterior doors in a building, order them together in one finish so they age at the same rate.
