Emtek 7512 Rectangular 8-7/8" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage - Sandcast Bronze Tubular

Yes. The 7512 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into an opening already bored for a common tubular lockset. It's a tubular lock, not a mortise lock, so there's no pocket to cut. The 8-7/8 inch rectangular sideplate covers a good deal of stile face, so check that your door has enough clear stile behind the bore for the plate to sit flat.

Doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, which covers both the older interior thickness and the standard 1-3/4 inch slab. Backset is adjustable, and you pick it on the order: 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch. Those are the two usual bored-lock backsets, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you choose. There's also a door thickness field on the order if your slab is outside the norm.

Passage only. The 7512 is non-keyed and has no lock function at all, so both sides always turn free. Use it on hallways, closets, pantries, and bedroom doors that don't need privacy. If you need a thumbturn for a bath or bedroom, order the privacy version of the sideplate set instead, and for an exterior or lockable door you need a keyed set.

Handing is required on this one, right hand or left hand, and it's a required selection at order time. Levers are handed because the lever has to point toward the latch side, and the rectangular sideplate is oriented with it. Stand outside the door, on the side it swings away from: hinges on the right is right hand. Get this wrong and the lever hangs the wrong way.

No. Emtek lists the 7512 as residential. It's a sandcast bronze decorative set for houses and high-end residential work. For an office, school, or multi-family common area on a heavy-use door, you want a commercial-grade cylindrical or mortise lock instead, not this.

The Emtek 7512 is passage only, so for a locking sideplate lever the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keyed outside with a turn inside. If you want key on both sides, the Omnia D12036AC is the double cylinder version with the same sideplate design. For a door that never latches at all, such as one leaf of a pair, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy sideplate lever with a 5-1/2 inch center to center.

No. The Emtek 7512 is a working passage set - it includes a latch and strike plate and takes a live 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which a fixed leaf does not need. For an inactive leaf that only has to match, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center; it is double dummy function, so it is surface applied trim with no latch behind it. Use the passage set on the leaf that swings and the dummy on the one that does not.

The Emtek 7512 is a passage function set - it is non-keyed, so the lever or knob simply retracts the latch and there is no cylinder in it at all. When the opening has to lock with a key, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keyed from the outside. Choose by what the door has to do: passage for a door that only needs to latch, single cylinder where a key has to throw the bolt.

Yes - a passage set will not do it. The Emtek 7512 is passage function and non-keyed, so neither face accepts a cylinder. For an opening that has to be keyed from inside and out, the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with a sideplate design in solid brass. Note that double cylinder hardware is restricted on egress doors in many jurisdictions, so confirm the local code for the occupancy before specifying it.

It ships as a complete set: knob or lever, latch, and strike plate. You choose the knob or lever style separately, and there are 25 Sandcast Bronze designs to pick from, ten levers (Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton, Yuma) and fifteen knobs including Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Windsor and Modern Square. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a pre-bored door.

It's part of the Sandcast Bronze collection, so it's built to run alongside other pieces in that line, and since you choose the knob or lever style yourself you can carry the same design across every door. If your other openings use, say, the Durango lever in Medium Bronze, order the 7512 with Durango (D) in Medium Bronze and the trim reads as one set. For property managers standardizing a building, pick one lever code and one finish code and repeat it.

It is not an equivalent swap. The D12036 sideplate sets are deadbolt lever locksets - the D12036A is single cylinder and the D12036AC is double cylinder - so they carry cylinder prep and bolt hardware whether or not you key them. The Emtek 7512 is a passage function set with no keyed function, sized 8-7/8 inch, sold complete with knob or lever, latch and strike plate. If the door truly only needs to latch, the passage set is the part that matches that function; if there is any chance the opening gets keyed later, prep for the deadbolt version up front rather than reworking the door.

Split them by what each opening has to do. The Emtek 7512 covers the passage openings - non-keyed, latch only, 8-7/8 inch sideplate, adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, door thickness 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Omnia D12036 sideplate group covers the rest: D12036A for single cylinder, D12036AC for double cylinder, D12036PD as a double dummy on plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center. Because they are different manufacturers, verify the plate outline and bore layout against the door prep before mixing them on the same elevation.

It is not a passage set. The D12036PD is a double dummy - trim on plates with no latch mechanism, so the door will not stay shut on its own and there is nothing to retract. A closet or pantry door that needs to latch and release calls for the Emtek 7512 passage set, which ships with the latch and strike plate and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep. The dummy is for doors held by ball catches, roller catches, or magnets, or for a fixed leaf.

Sandcast bronze for the sideplate and trim, with a brass latch and strike. Solid cast bronze holds up outdoors and takes on a patina over time, which is why it's used on rustic and craftsman-style interiors. The cast surface won't be perfectly smooth or identical piece to piece, and that's the point of the collection.

The Emtek 7512 is a residential sandcast bronze passage set in a tubular lock configuration, non-keyed, and it is the right part for residential and light multi-family openings rather than a rated commercial spec. The Omnia D12036 sideplate sets are solid brass deadbolt lever locksets in single cylinder, double cylinder, and dummy functions. If a project spec calls out a graded commercial lockset by ANSI/BHMA grade, ask us to quote against that grade line rather than substituting either of these decorative sideplate families.
