Emtek 7090 Rope 3-5/8" C-to-C Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage/Single Keyed - Brass Tubular

Door thickness range on the 7090 Rope keyed sideplate set is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so a standard 1-3/4 inch exterior door and an older 1-3/8 inch door both work. Door thickness is one of the things you specify when ordering, so give the actual measured thickness of the door rather than assuming.

The latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and you pick one when you order. Those are the two standard residential backsets, so a door already bored at 2-3/4 inches is covered. The cross bore is a standard 2-1/8 inches, which is the same bore almost every residential tubular lock uses.

No new bore if the door is already prepped for a normal residential knob or lever. The 7090 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, the same prep a common tubular lockset uses. What is different from a plain knob set is the sideplate: the plate runs 3-5/8 inches center to center between the knob or lever and the keyed cylinder above it, so you will be drilling for the cylinder and mortising for the plate on a door that has only a single knob bore today.

Single cylinder. The 7090 Rope sideplate set is keyed from the outside only; the interior side is passage trim, meaning the inside knob or lever always turns free with no key and no thumbturn. If you have a glass panel next to the door and your local code or insurer pushes you toward a keyed-both-sides arrangement, this is not that lock. Omnia's D12036AC is a double cylinder sideplate lever lockset if you need key access from both faces.

Handing matters if you choose a lever. Levers are handed and you must specify right hand or left hand; knobs are not. Stand outside the door: 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 up instead of down.

Both are single cylinder brass sideplate-style sets, but they lock differently. The Emtek 7090 is a tubular entry lockset - the key operates the latch through the knob or lever trim, and it comes as a complete set with knob or lever, latch and strike plate on one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The Omnia D12036A is a deadbolt lever lockset, so the lever is trim and the key throws a separate deadbolt. For an opening where the handle itself must lock and unlock, the 7090 is the set; for an opening that wants a thrown bolt behind the lever, the D12036A is.

The Emtek 7090 is a single cylinder set, so it takes a key on the outside only. For an opening that needs key operation from both faces - a common requirement on a glass-panel or sidelight entry door - the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with a sideplate design in solid brass. Confirm the local code for your building type before specifying double cylinder on an egress door.

For a non-operating leaf - the inactive half of a pair of French doors, or a closet door held by a ball catch - a dummy set covers the same sideplate look without a latch or cylinder. The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center. The Emtek 7090 is 3-5/8 inch center to center and is a keyed entry set, so it brings a latch, strike and cylinder the dummy application does not use. Note the two are not on the same plate spacing, so they will not share a single prep.

It ships as a complete set: outside keyed sideplate, the inside knob or lever, the latch, and the strike plate. You do not order the latch separately. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner so it can match the mortise already cut in the edge of the door, and the whole set is brass.

Yes, and it is a required choice on the order. The inside trim can be any Emtek brass knob or lever style, which covers everything from the plain Round and Egg knobs through the crystal knobs (Bristol, Windsor, Georgetown, Old Town), the traditional levers (Cortina, Milano, Turino, Rope, Ribbon and Reed), and the modern bar and knurled families (L-Bar, T-Bar, R-Bar, Conical, Ace). Note the sideplate itself is the Rope pattern regardless of which trim you pair with it, so people often run the Rope Lever or Rope Knob to match.

Yes. Keying is a required selection and you choose keyed different or keyed alike, at no charge. Keyed alike puts every lock on the order on one key, which is what you want for a front and back door on the same house. There is also a keying-to-code field if you are matching an existing key system and have the code for it.

It is a residential-grade product. The 7090 is a brass tubular entry lock built for houses and residential entry doors, not for the cycle counts of a commercial opening or a heavily used multi-family corridor. If you are speccing for an office or a public entrance, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial cylindrical or mortise lock instead.

A sideplate set puts the key cylinder and the knob or lever on one continuous plate, so the two align perfectly and you get one finished escutcheon instead of two separate roses. On the 7090 that plate sets the cylinder 3-5/8 inches above the knob center. The tradeoff is the prep is fixed at that 3-5/8 inch spacing, where separate pieces let you place the deadbolt wherever the door is already bored. If you want the sideplate look without a working key cylinder, Omnia's D12036PD is a dummy sideplate lever set with plates.

No - it looks like a match and is not one. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy, meaning neither side operates anything, and its plates are 5-1/2 inch center to center. The Emtek 7090 sideplates are 3-5/8 inch center to center, so the mounting holes do not line up and the existing prep would show. If you are matching a run of doors already carrying the 7090, keep the dummy on the same 3-5/8 inch spacing rather than crossing to the wider plate.

Choose the Emtek 7090 when you want one keyed function handled entirely through the bored prep. It is a residential single cylinder entry set in brass, tubular, on an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and it fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are deadbolt lever locksets in solid brass, single and double cylinder respectively - those put the key on a bolt rather than on the handle set. The Emtek also takes any brass knob or lever style for the inside trim, so a run of doors can share one sideplate and vary the handle.

Five: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Two of those behave differently over time. Unlacquered brass has no coating and will darken and patina with handling, which is what people want on a period house. Polished Brass Lifetime is coated and stays bright.

If the rest of the house is Emtek brass, yes. The 7090 is in Emtek's brass collection in a traditional Rope pattern, and it uses the same finishes Emtek runs across the brass line, so a US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze entry set will read the same as US10B interior levers and passage sets. Where it gets mismatched is finish family, not style: unlacquered brass patinas and will not stay matched to a coated polished brass on the next door.

No, it is fully mechanical. The 7090 Rope sideplate set is a keyed brass entry lock with no electronic component, no keypad, and no wiring. It operates by key outside and by turning the inside knob or lever.
