Emtek 7561 Rectangular 5-1/2" Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage/Double Keyed - Sandcast Bronze Tubular

Yes. The 7561 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a normal tubular lockset. Backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which covers both of the usual bore locations, and it fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The one thing to check is the sideplate itself: it's a 5-1/2 inch plate that sits on the face of the door, so you need clean stile face around the bore for it to land on.

Double keyed means a cylinder on both sides: you need the key to unlock from the inside as well as the outside. That's the reason people specify it on a door with glass in or beside it, since breaking the glass and reaching through doesn't get you out. The trade-off is the one every code official raises, and it's worth thinking about before you commit: nobody exits that door without the key in hand. If you want the inside to open freely by turning the lever, the single cylinder version is what you want instead.

Handing is required, and you pick right hand or left hand at order time. That matters because the 7561 is a lever-and-sideplate set, and a lever has to point the correct way when the door is hung. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand. Get it wrong and the lever throws up rather than down. Backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch) and the inside knob or lever style are also specified on the order.

Tubular. Despite the long 5-1/2 inch sideplate, which looks like mortise trim, the 7561 works off one 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a standard tubular latch. That's the practical difference: no mortise pocket to route into the door edge, so a carpenter with a standard lock boring jig can install it. If your door already has a mortise pocket cut for a true mortise lock, this is not a drop-in replacement.

It's a residential lockset. For a house, a condo unit entry, or the interior side of a light-duty opening it's the right kind of product. For a commercial entrance, a leasing office, or anything on a fire-rated corridor door in a multi-family building, spec a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical or mortise lock instead. Cast bronze residential trim is not built for that cycle count and won't carry the listings those openings need.

Both are double cylinder sideplate lever locksets, so both take a key on the interior as well as the exterior. The Emtek 7561 is a tubular lock in bronze, ordered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze with a choice of sandcast knob or lever for the inside trim. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset of solid brass construction with a sideplate design. Where the 7561 gives a bronze sandcast look and a long inside-trim menu, the Omnia is the brass-bodied equivalent of the same double keyed sideplate arrangement.

The Emtek 7561 is a double cylinder setup, meaning a key is needed from the inside as well. If the opening needs a thumbturn or plain inside operation instead, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass. Single cylinder is the usual choice where egress without a key matters, such as a door in a path of travel; double cylinder is chosen where glass sits near the lock and a reachable inside turn is a concern.

A keyed unit like the Emtek 7561 latches and locks, which an inactive leaf does not need. For that leaf the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center - it is surface mounted trim that pulls but does not operate a latch. Matching the 5-1/2 inch sideplate spacing of the 7561 keeps the two leaves reading the same across the pair.

It ships as a complete set: the knob or lever, the latch, and the strike plate. So for a single door you're not buying anything else to make it work. Two things people add: an interconnect device if you want the lever and a deadbolt to retract together on one motion, and a second set of the same trim for the other doors if you're standardizing a whole house. Keying is handled on the order, not with a separate part.

Yes, and it's a required choice on the order. Any Sandcast Bronze knob or lever style pairs with the 7561 plate. Levers include Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton and Yuma. Knobs include Butte, Egg, Round, Winchester, Bristol, Hampton, Lowell, Windsor, Astoria, Diamond, Georgetown, Modern Disc, Modern Square, Old Town and Providence. That's how you match a 7561 entry to knobs and levers already hung elsewhere in the same house, since the plate stays the same and only the trim changes.

Yes. Keyed alike or keyed different is chosen on the order at no charge, and there's a field to key to an existing code if you already have a keyway in the building and want the new doors to run on the same key. For a property manager rekeying a unit or a homeowner tying front, side and back doors to one key, specify keyed alike and put all the sets on the same order so they're cut together.

The 7561 is a working keyed entry set, not a dummy. For a closet, pantry, or the inactive leaf of a pair where you want the same sideplate look with no latch, use a dummy sideplate set instead. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy sideplate lever set with 5-1/2 inch center to center plates, which is the same visual proportion. Buying the 7561 and leaving it unkeyed is not the answer, the latch and cylinder are part of the set.

Yes, the 7561 covers 1-3/8 through 1-3/4 inch doors, so an older interior door at 1-3/8 works as well as a standard 1-3/4 inch exterior door. There's a door thickness field on the order, so state the actual measured thickness of your door rather than assuming. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches is outside the range for this set.

No. The D12036PD is a double dummy - a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates that mounts as trim only. It has no cylinder and no working latch. The Emtek 7561 is a keyed entry lockset with a double cylinder and includes latch and strike plate. Anywhere the door has to secure, the dummy will not stand in; it is for a fixed or inactive leaf where the hardware only needs to look the same.

They will function alongside each other but they are not the same hardware. The Emtek 7561 is bronze in the Sandcast Bronze collection, offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze. The Omnia D12036A, D12036AC, and D12036PD are solid brass construction. Bronze sandcast and solid brass are different materials with different surface character, so the two brands will not read as one suite even at the same sideplate size. Where an opening needs a function the 7561 does not cover - single cylinder or dummy - the Omnia D12036A and D12036PD fill it, and running the whole group in one brand keeps the appearance consistent.

The Emtek 7561 is a residential tubular lockset, so a corridor or other commercial opening carrying grade and code requirements is outside what it is built for. The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC comparables are likewise deadbolt lever locksets of solid brass construction in the same residential sideplate family. For a house, a unit within a multi-family building, or a hospitality guest door where the look drives the choice, the 7561 in bronze covers keyed entry with double cylinder operation.

Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are living finishes on cast bronze, not plated, so each casting varies slightly and they darken with handling over time. If you're matching a run of doors, order the whole run at once rather than adding one later.

Yes, with the Emtek 443 interconnect device added to the order. That ties the lockset and a deadbolt together so one turn of the inside lever retracts both, which is what people spec on a rental unit or any door where a single motion to get out matters. Without it, the 7561 works on its own and a deadbolt on the same door operates separately.
