Emtek 7671 Sandcast Bronze #5 5-1/2" Keyed Sideplate Tubular Lockset, Passage/Double Keyed

One standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore is all the 7671 needs, with the latch at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. If your door already carries a standard 2-1/8 inch bore from a previous knob or lever set, the lock drops into it. The sideplate is 5-1/2 inches, so it covers the face above and below that bore, which also helps hide wear or minor damage around an older prep.

Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore: 2-3/8 inches on most residential doors, 2-3/4 inches on doors with a wider stile or a thicker edge detail. The 7671 latch is adjustable and both backsets are on the order form, and the standard latch ships set for 2-3/8 inches, so call out 2-3/4 if that's what your door measures.

Double cylinder. The 7671 is an entry function that takes a key from outside and from inside, with no inside thumbturn. That's the setup people choose for a door with glass beside or in it, where somebody could reach through and turn a thumbturn. The trade-off is real: nobody exits without a key in hand, and many jurisdictions restrict double cylinder locks on a required means of egress in a dwelling. If you want key outside and turn inside instead, order the single cylinder version of the same sideplate rather than this one.

Yes, and it's a required choice on the order, right hand or left hand. Handing matters on the leversets because a lever has to point toward the hinge side; it is not reversible in the field on this set. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand.

It ships as a complete set: knob or lever, latch, and strike plate. You pick the inside trim style as part of the order, from 25 sandcast bronze designs including the Durango, Teton and Cimarron levers and the Winchester, Egg and Old Town knobs. The only thing you add is a deadbolt if the opening needs one, or the Emtek 443 interconnect device if you want the sideplate tied to a deadbolt above it.

Yes. Keyed alike is an option on the 7671 at no charge, so several of these can run off one key. If you're adding to Emtek hardware already installed and you have the key code, there's a keying-to-code field on the order form to match the new lock to what's on your existing doors. Otherwise take keyed different and each lock arrives on its own key.

A sideplate set puts the knob or lever on a long backplate rather than a small round rose. The 7671 uses a 5-1/2 inch plate in sandcast bronze, which gives the door a heavier, forged look and lines up visually with a deadbolt plate above it. Mechanically it is still a tubular bored lock in a standard 2-1/8 inch prep, so it installs like any knob set. If you want the same latching but a minimal look, a rose-mounted set is the alternative.

It's built for residential use. The 7671 is a residential-duty sandcast bronze set, so the right places for it are houses, cabins, and rustic or boutique interiors, not a school corridor or an office suite entry running hundreds of cycles a day. Property managers doing a high-end single-family or a small multi-family front door are on solid ground; anyone standardizing a commercial facility should be looking at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lock instead.

The Omnia D12036AC is the closest cross-brand equivalent we carry: a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with a sideplate design in solid brass. Where the Emtek 7671 is sandcast bronze in a rustic idiom, the Omnia is a brass set with a different design vocabulary. If you want the same Omnia plate but single cylinder, with a thumbturn inside, that's the D12036A.

Not the 7671, that's a keyed entry lock. For a non-latching door where you just want the same plate and lever to show, a dummy set is what you want, and the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center. Keep in mind it's Omnia brass, not Emtek sandcast bronze, so it will not finish-match a 7671 on an adjacent opening.

That's what the Emtek 443 interconnect device is for, and it's an optional add-on to the 7671 order. It ties the sideplate lockset to a deadbolt above it so the two operate as one unit. Without it, you're installing a separate deadbolt in its own bore that works independently of the lockset.

Both corner styles are available on the 7671 latch. Match whatever is already routed into your door edge: a square corner mortise from a previous lock takes the square faceplate, and a factory-drilled door with a rounded pocket takes the round. Getting this right is the difference between dropping the latch in and reaching for a chisel.
