Emtek 7109 Rope 7-1/2" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage - Brass Tubular

Yes. The 7109 Rope sideplate passage set covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, so it works on older 1-3/8 inch interior doors and on standard 1-3/4 inch doors alike. There is a Door Thickness field on the order so you can tell Emtek exactly what you are hanging it on.

Standard prep. The 7109 uses one 2-1/8 inch cross bore, the same bore a normal tubular knob or lever set uses, and the latch is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset. So an existing bored door usually takes it without redrilling the cross bore. What does change is the face of the door: this is a sideplate set, so the 7-1/2 inch plate needs to sit flat where a small round rose used to, and it will not cover a bore that was drilled off-center.

Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore: 2-3/8 inch is typical on residential interior doors, 2-3/4 inch shows up on heavier or commercial-style prep. If you skip the call-out, Emtek ships the 2-3/8 inch latch as standard.

Handing is required on this set, right hand or left hand. Even though a passage function has no lock or cylinder, the sideplate and lever geometry is handed, so an order placed without it stalls. Stand on the outside of the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand.

Passage only. The 7109 is a non-keyed passage function, meaning the knob or lever always retracts the latch from both sides and there is no lock or thumbturn anywhere on it. It is for halls, closets, and pantry doors. If you need the door to lock, you want a privacy or keyed entry version of the sideplate instead, not this one.

The 7109 is passage only, so it cannot secure an exterior door. For a locking sideplate set, Omnia builds the D12036 family in solid brass: the D12036A is a single cylinder version, and the D12036AC is double cylinder for a door with glass beside the lock. If you want the sideplate appearance on a door that does not latch at all, such as a closet or an inactive leaf of a pair, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center. Those are Omnia, not Emtek, so the finish and plate profile will not match an Emtek run exactly.

The Emtek 7109 Rope sideplate set is a passage function, so it latches and turns but never locks. When the opening has to be keyed, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keeping the sideplate look while adding a key cylinder on the outside. If both faces need a key - a common requirement on a door with glass beside the lock - the Omnia D12036AC is the double cylinder version of the same solid brass sideplate design.

The Emtek 7109 Rope sideplate set is a working passage lockset - it includes a latch and strike plate and the knob or lever retracts the latch. On a door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch, no latch is needed, and the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy solid brass deadbolt lever lockset with plates that mounts surface-only with nothing operating in the door. Its plates are set 5-1/2 inch center to center, which is the dimension to check against the existing prep or against the trim on the adjacent doors.

The difference is what happens inside the door. The Emtek 7109 Rope is a non-keyed tubular passage set, 7-1/2 inch sideplate, with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset latch and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore - one standard bored prep. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, so the sideplate carries both a lever and a keyed deadbolt and the door must be prepped for that deadbolt as well. Matching them by appearance alone will leave one of the two doors with the wrong holes drilled.

You are not locked into the Rope pattern. The 7109 plate accepts any Emtek brass knob or lever style, so you can run the Rope Knob (RK) or Rope Lever (RL) to match the plate, or put a Round Knob (ROU), an Athena Lever (ATH), a Windsor Crystal Knob (WS), or any of the other brass trims on it. Keep in mind that a lever needs handing called out; the plate itself is 7-1/2 inches either way.

It should. The latch is offered with either a round or a square corner faceplate, so it matches whichever mortise is already cut in the door edge and you do not have to chisel the pocket over. Combined with the adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, most existing bored doors take the 7109 with no new woodwork.

Solid brass, and it is a residential set. Both the material and the substrate are brass, which is why the unlacquered brass (US3NL) finish will patina over time while the lifetime polished brass (US3) is coated to hold its color. For a hotel corridor, school, or other high traffic commercial opening, a residential tubular set like this is the wrong tool; look to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lockset instead.

It is the backplate behind the handle. The 7109 mounts the knob or lever on a 7-1/2 inch vertical brass plate rather than a small round rose, which gives a traditional, long-plate look on the face of the door. Mechanically it is still a tubular bored lock using the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it installs like an ordinary knob set. Worth noting on doors with narrow stiles or close-set glass: you need clear flat door face for the full 7-1/2 inches, which a rose does not require.

Function can be mixed along a hallway as long as the trim family is held constant. The Emtek 7109 Rope sideplate set is brass and comes in Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and French Antique (US7), and it takes any Emtek brass knob or lever style, so passage doors can carry the same lever as the rest. On the doors that need to lock, the Omnia D12036A single cylinder and D12036AC double cylinder sideplate sets are solid brass as well, and the D12036PD dummy covers the doors with no latch - so the run can be built from one material across three functions.

The Emtek 7109 Rope sideplate set covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and is a residential brass passage set, so a 1-3/8 inch interior door is inside its range without a special order. Handing is required when a lever is chosen, and the latch faceplate can be taken as round or square corner to match the mortise already cut in the edge of the door. The Omnia D12036A, D12036AC and D12036PD are solid brass sideplate sets in single cylinder, double cylinder and dummy functions for the doors on the same job that need a different function.

No, it comes complete. The set includes the knob or lever, the latch, and the strike plate, so the only thing you supply is the screws-in-the-jamb labor. There are no batteries or wiring involved either; this is a purely mechanical set.
