Emtek 7990-US7 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek 7990 Rope sideplate lockset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The 7990 Rope keyed sideplate set uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a normal bored lockset. The latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and the set covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The one thing a plain knob prep will not have is the extra sideplate area: the plate runs 5-1/2 inches center to center, so the escutcheon covers more of the stile than a rosette does.
2) Do I need to specify handing on an Emtek Rope sideplate lockset?
Handing is a required choice, right hand or left hand. Emtek notes handing is required for a leverset, and because the 7990 is a sideplate set the plate itself is oriented to the door, so the pick matters even if you choose a knob for the inside trim. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand.
3) Can I key the Emtek 7990 alike with the other locks on the house?
Yes. The 7990 is a single cylinder entry lock and can be ordered keyed alike across multiple units, or keyed different if each opening gets its own key. There is also a keying-to-code field, so if you already have an Emtek key code on the property you can put that code on the order and the new lock comes cut to the existing key rather than needing a locksmith visit after install.
4) Is the Emtek 7990 Rope lockset rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is a residential lock. Emtek lists the 7990 as residential, brass, tubular construction, in a traditional style, and it is built for a house or a unit entry door rather than for the cycle counts a commercial opening or an apartment corridor sees. Property managers spec'ing unit entry doors in a low-traffic building use it; anyone spec'ing to a commercial door schedule should be looking at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lock instead.
5) Will the Emtek 7990 sideplate cover the holes left by my old lockset?
Depends on what is behind it. The plate spans 5-1/2 inches center to center around a single 2-1/8 inch bore, so it covers a standard bored prep and a fair amount of stile around it. What it will not cover is a second bore from a separate deadbolt above, since the 7990 is one prep, not two. If the door has both a lock bore and a deadbolt bore, plan on the deadbolt staying in place, or use the 443 interconnect to tie them together.
6) What is the closest single cylinder alternative to the Emtek 7990 sideplate lockset?
The Omnia D12036A is the nearest match: a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, the same keyed function as the Emtek 7990, which is single cylinder with an entry lock function in brass. Both key from the outside and release from the inside without a key. The 7990 differs in how it is configured at order time - the outside is Rope sideplate trim and the inside knob or lever style is chosen separately, with handing and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset specified on the order.
7) I need a keyed sideplate lockset for a door with glass beside the lock - what should I use instead of the Emtek 7990?
For an opening where someone can reach the inside trim through glass, the Omnia D12036AC is the double cylinder version of the sideplate deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass - it takes a key on both sides, so the inside cannot be turned by hand. The Emtek 7990 is single cylinder, which leaves the inside free-turning by design. Check the local egress code for the opening before specifying double cylinder, since some jurisdictions restrict it on exit doors.
8) Single cylinder or double cylinder for a door with glass next to it?
The Emtek 7990 is single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn or interior trim inside, so it always opens from the inside without a key. That is what most residential entry doors want. If your local requirement or your risk assessment calls for a keyed cylinder on both sides, the 7990 will not do it, and the double cylinder sideplate option in the catalog is the Omnia D12036AC. Nothing in either case changes the door prep.
9) What comes in the box with the Emtek 7990 sideplate lockset?
It ships as a complete set: the knob or lever you selected, the sideplates, the latch, and the strike plate. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so it can be matched to the mortise already cut in the edge of the door. Nothing else is needed to hang the lock on a correctly prepped door.
10) Can I mix a lever on the inside with the Rope sideplate on the outside?
Yes, and that is how it is ordered. The Rope 7990 outside plate pairs with any Emtek brass knob or lever for the inside trim, so the inside can be a lever for easier operation while the exterior keeps the rope detail. The choice list runs from traditional shapes like the Rope Knob and Ribbon and Reed Lever through crystal knobs and the modern L-Bar and T-Bar knurled and marble options.
11) What is the Emtek 443 interconnect device for on the 7990?
The 443 interconnect ties the 7990 sideplate lockset to a deadbolt above it so one turn of the inside lever or knob retracts both at once. It is an optional add on the order. If the door already has a separate deadbolt and you want single-motion egress rather than two separate operations, that is the part to add.
12) What is the difference between the Emtek 7990 keyed sideplate set and a dummy sideplate set?
The 7990 is a working entry lock: keyed outside, latching bolt, strike plate, live door prep. A dummy set like the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy, meaning no latch and no key, just plates and levers surface mounted on a door that does not latch, typically an inactive leaf of a pair or a closet door. If you are replacing an existing dummy set with a 7990 the door has to be bored 2-1/8 inches and mortised for the latch first.
13) What matches the look of the Emtek 7990 on an inactive or non-latching door without adding a lock?
The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy sideplate lever lockset in solid brass on 5-1/2 inch center to center plates - surface-mounted trim with no latch and no cylinder, for the inactive leaf of a pair or a door that is held closed some other way. The Emtek 7990 is a keyed entry lockset with a tubular latch on the same 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing, so the two sit at the same plate dimension on adjacent doors while only one of them locks. The 7990 needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore; a dummy does not.
14) Is the Omnia D12036PD a substitute for the Emtek 7990 if I only need trim on one side?
No. The D12036PD is a double dummy, meaning trim on both faces with no latching or keying mechanism at all, so it will not hold a door closed or lock it. The Emtek 7990 is a keyed entry lockset, single cylinder, supplied as a complete set with knob or lever, latch and strike plate. If the door has to latch and lock, the dummy is not an equivalent regardless of matching 5-1/2 inch center to center plates.
15) Will the unlacquered brass finish on the Emtek 7990 change color over time?
Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) has no clear coat, so it darkens and patinas with handling and weather. That is the point of the finish, but it is not the one to pick if you need every door in a building to look the same for years. For a brass look that holds, Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) is the stable choice. Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), and French Antique (US7) round out the five.
