Emtek 8026-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8026 Delaware sideplate lockset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The Delaware 8026 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a normal tubular knob or lever set. The latch is adjustable for a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and it works on doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. What it does need beyond a plain rosette set is room for the 7-1/8 inch sideplate on the face of the door, so check you have that much clear space above and below the bore.
2) Which backset do I order for the Emtek Delaware 8026 privacy set?
Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore: 2-3/8 inches is typical on residential interior doors, 2-3/4 inches shows up on heavier or wider stiles. The standard latch shipped with the 8026 is the 2-3/8 inch one, so specify 2-3/4 inches if that is what your door is bored for.
3) Do I have to specify handing on an Emtek 8026 Delaware lockset?
Handing is required, right hand or left hand. Stand on the outside of the door (the side it opens away from): if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand. Handing matters on the Delaware because it is a sideplate set and the lever trim has to swing the correct way. Knob styles still order under the same handed part, so make the call before you order either way.
4) What should I use instead of the Emtek 8026 Delaware sideplate lockset on an exterior door that needs a key?
The Emtek 8026 Delaware is a privacy/bed and bath function and is non-keyed, so it locks from the inside only and has no cylinder for a key. For an opening that has to be keyed from the outside, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, which gives you the key side the 8026 does not have. Keep the 8026 for bedrooms, bathrooms, and other interior privacy doors.
5) I need a sideplate lever set on a closet door that does not latch. Is the Emtek 8026 the right one?
No. The Emtek 8026 Delaware is a working privacy set and is sold complete with the knob or lever, latch, and strike plate, so it needs a bored door with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. For a surface-mounted closet or pantry door where the lever is only a pull, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center.
6) What is included with the Emtek Delaware 8026 privacy lockset, and do I need to buy the latch separately?
It ships complete: knob or lever trim, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a bored door. The one thing you choose rather than receive by default is the inside trim style, which is a required selection, along with backset and handing.
7) Can I get the Emtek Delaware sideplate with a lever instead of a knob?
Either. The Delaware 8026 sideplate can be ordered with any Emtek brass knob or lever style, and the choice is a required option when you order. That covers levers like the Athena, Luzern, Coventry and Rustic, knobs like the Providence, Egg, Octagon and Square, and crystal knobs such as the Windsor and Georgetown. Handing has to be specified either way.
8) Is the Emtek Delaware 8026 sideplate lockset suitable for a commercial building or apartment turnover?
It is a residential-duty product. The Delaware 8026 is a solid brass tubular privacy set catalogued for residential use, so it suits single family homes, condo interiors and high-end multi-family unit interiors. For a commercial corridor or a spec that calls out a graded cylindrical lock, this is not the part to bid.
9) What is the difference between a sideplate lockset like the Emtek Delaware and a standard rosette knob set?
A sideplate set puts the trim on a long vertical backplate instead of a small round rose. On the Delaware that plate is 7-1/8 inches, which gives a period or American Classic look and covers more of the door face, handy when you are replacing older hardware that left marks. Both use the same 2-1/8 inch bore, so the plate is a styling and coverage decision rather than a prep decision.
10) Should I order the round corner or square corner latch faceplate for the Emtek 8026?
Match whatever is already mortised into the door edge. The Delaware 8026 latch is offered with a round corner or square corner faceplate, so on a replacement job you pick the one matching the existing mortise and avoid recutting the edge. On a new door, the drilling jig used determines it, radius corners from most bore jigs and square corners where the mortise was routed.
11) I need a deadbolt with a matching sideplate, not a privacy set. What are my options?
The Delaware 8026 is privacy only, no cylinder. For a keyed sideplate deadbolt in solid brass, Omnia builds the D12036A as a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset and the D12036AC as a double cylinder version with a sideplate design. There is also the D12036PD, a double dummy version with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center, for the inactive leaf of a pair or a closet door that never latches.
12) What is the difference between the Emtek 8026 Delaware and the Omnia D12036AC?
They are different lock functions on a similar looking brass sideplate. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, meaning it takes a key on both sides. The Emtek 8026 Delaware is non-keyed with a privacy/bed and bath function, which locks with an inside turn and releases from outside with an emergency tool. Check your local egress code before specifying a double cylinder function on any door people exit through.
13) Can I mix the Emtek 8026 Delaware and Omnia D12036 sideplate sets on the same run of doors?
They will not read as one family. The Emtek 8026 Delaware is a 7-1/8 inch tubular brass sideplate set with a residential privacy function, and the Omnia D12036 sets are deadbolt lever locksets in solid brass with their own plate proportions, including the D12036PD at 5-1/2 inch center to center. If the doors are all interior bedroom and bath, spec the 8026 across the run and match the finish from the eight offered, including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B and Satin Nickel US15.
14) What finishes does the Emtek 8026 Delaware sideplate lockset come in?
Eight finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). If you are matching other openings in a house, the US code is the number to match on, since Emtek uses the same US designations across its brass collection. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its shine.
