Emtek 8111 Modern 7" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage - Brass Tubular

It doesn't lock. Passage function is latch only, non-keyed, with no thumbturn, so it belongs on halls, closets, pantries, and any door where a separate deadbolt does the securing. Bedrooms and baths need a privacy set instead. If you want the lever and the lock in one sideplate assembly, Omnia's D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset and the D12036AC is the double cylinder version of the same thing.

Handing matters if you order it with a lever. Emtek requires the hand on leversets. Knob styles are symmetrical, so they aren't handed. To hand the door, stand on the outside of it: hinges on your right is right hand, hinges on your left is left hand.

Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore. The latch supplied as standard is set for 2-3/8 inches, so 2-3/4 has to be called out when you order. The latch itself is adjustable between the two. On residential doors 2-3/8 is the usual prep; 2-3/4 turns up on thicker doors and commercial-prepped openings.

Usually, yes. It installs in one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, the same prep a common tubular knob or lever set uses, and it works on doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The sideplate is 7 inches, so it covers considerably more of the door face than a round rosette. Wear marks or an unfinished ring left behind by the old trim end up under the plate rather than on show.

The Emtek 8111 is a passage function, non-keyed set: it latches the door shut and turns freely from both sides, so there is no locking on it at all. When the same opening needs a key, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, combining the lever with a keyed deadbolt. Single cylinder means key outside, thumbturn inside, which is the usual choice for an entry door with no glass within reach of the turn. Keep the Emtek 8111 for the halls, closets and pantry doors on the same run where a latch is all that is wanted.

No - those two do different jobs. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy: solid brass trim with plates on both faces and no working latch, so it is surface applied to a door that is held by something else, such as an inactive leaf, a ball catch or roller catch, or a door that stays put. The Emtek 8111 is a passage set and ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate, so it actually holds a swinging closet door closed and releases when the knob or lever is turned. If the closet door swings free and needs to stay shut, the 8111 is the latching set; the D12036PD is the pick only when the door has its own catch or does not move.

Either is offered on the 8111. Pull the old latch and look at the pocket routed into the door edge: a rounded pocket takes the round corner faceplate, a squared pocket takes the square corner. Matching what's already cut means no chiseling and no gap around the plate.

It ships as a complete set: knob or lever, latch, and strike plate. The trim isn't a separate purchase, it's a choice, since the 8111 can be ordered with any Emtek brass knob or lever style. Add a deadbolt if that opening actually has to lock, because the 8111 is passage function and the latch is all it does.

Six finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Satin Brass (US4). Those US codes are the standard finish designations, so you can match against what's already hanging by code rather than by eyeballing a photo. One thing to weigh on a whole floor of doors: unlacquered brass has no clear coat, so it darkens with handling and each door ages at its own pace.

The 8111 is a residential product, brass tubular construction in passage function. On interior pass-through doors in an apartment, hotel room, or office suite, where nothing needs to lock, it does the job. For an opening written to a graded, cycle-rated cylindrical lock spec, this is the wrong family of lock and you want a commercial line instead.

No. A passage set like the Emtek 8111 includes a working latch and strike, and on a door that only needs a pull, or on the inactive leaf of a pair, that latch is just something to fight. A dummy set is the correct part there. Omnia's D12036PD is a solid brass double dummy lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center.

Go to the double cylinder version. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design, so the deadbolt takes a key on both faces instead of a thumbturn inside - that is the configuration specified when glass or a sidelite sits within reach of the interior side. The Omnia D12036A is the single cylinder version of the same set, and the Emtek 8111 is passage only and non-keyed, so neither of those carries a keyed inside cylinder. Confirm the local egress code for the occupancy before committing to double cylinder, since many jurisdictions restrict key-both-sides on a required exit.

The three Omnia D12036 variants split by function: the D12036A is single cylinder, the D12036AC is double cylinder, and the D12036PD is double dummy. All three are solid brass lever locksets with plates. The Emtek 8111 is a non-keyed passage set in brass, which is a fourth function again - it latches without locking. So the mapping runs: pick the D12036A or D12036AC when the door needs a keyed deadbolt with the lever, pick the D12036PD when the door needs trim and nothing else, and stay on the Emtek 8111 when the door needs to latch and swing freely from both sides.

They are given on different references, so measure the door before ordering either. The Emtek 8111 sideplate is 7 inches and mounts to one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset latch, on doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The Omnia D12036PD is specified at 5-1/2 inches center to center across its plates. On a door that already has a bore and a deadbolt hole, take the actual center to center distance between those two holes and the visible outline of the old plate, then match to whichever set covers it - a taller plate hides more of a previous escutcheon footprint, a shorter one leaves the outline showing.
