Emtek 8135 Designer Brass Knobset with Wilshire 7" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage Set

Both backsets are covered. The latch is adjustable for 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, and backset is a required selection when ordering the Wilshire sideplate set. Standard ships 2-3/8 inch, so call out 2-3/4 inch if the existing bore is set back further from the edge. Those are the two backsets you'll find on nearly every residential door.

No lock at all. Passage function means both knobs always turn and retract the latch, with no key and no thumbturn, so it's for closets, hallways, pantries, and doors between rooms that just need to stay shut. If you need the door to lock from inside a bedroom or bathroom, you need a privacy set instead, and if you need a key you need a keyed entry or a separate deadbolt.

It ships as a complete set: both knobs on their sideplates, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to order to hang the door. The latch faceplate comes in round corner or square corner, so match it to whatever mortise is already cut into the door edge rather than re-chiseling.

A passage set like the Emtek 8135 Designer Brass Knobset with Wilshire sideplate includes a working latch and strike, so it still operates the door. On an inactive leaf or a closet door held by a roller catch or ball catch, a dummy is the simpler part: the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates, spaced 5-1/2 inches center to center, and is a double dummy function - surface-applied trim with no latch mechanism at all. Because it has no latch, it needs no cross bore prep, only the mounting holes for the plates.

Not for knobs. Handing is only required on Emtek leversets, because a lever has to point toward the latch edge. A knob is symmetrical, so a Wilshire knob set installs on a left or right hand door either way. Worth knowing if you're ordering knobs for some openings and levers for others on the same job, the lever lines will need hand called out and these won't.

Seven brass knob choices mount to the Wilshire plate: Beaded Egg, Belmont, Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, and Victoria, plus an option to call out any other Emtek brass knob in the comments field. Emtek prices any brass knob or lever style the same on this plate, so pick on looks, not on cost. That also means you can run one knob style through the public rooms and another through back-of-house without splitting your hardware budget.

CF is Emtek's clean-face mechanism: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws showing on the face of the door, and it includes the 28 degree rotation latch. Choose it where the hardware is on display and visible fasteners would bother the client. The other two latch choices are the standard latch and the 28 degree rotation latch on its own. The 28 degree latch requires less knob rotation to pull the latch back, which is easier on the wrist than a full standard throw.

Seven finishes: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Two of those behave differently over time. Unlacquered brass has no clear coat and will patina with handling, which is the point of specifying it. Polished Brass Lifetime is coated to stay bright. Don't mix the two on the same floor expecting them to match a year in.

It's a residential-grade brass tubular set, and that's how Emtek catalogues the 8135. Fine for apartment interiors, model units, and hospitality guest room closets. For a corridor, stairwell, or any fire rated or high traffic opening, go to a commercial cylindrical or mortise lock instead. Passage function also means it does nothing for security anywhere.

The Emtek 8135 Wilshire set is passage only, no key and no bolt. For a sideplate style deadbolt in solid brass, Omnia makes the D12036A single cylinder and the D12036AC double cylinder with a sideplate design, plus the D12036PD double dummy version with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center for doors that only need the look. Those are Omnia trim, not Emtek, so they won't visually match a Wilshire plate on adjacent doors.

No. They look alike on the door - both are brass sideplate trim - but they do different jobs. The Emtek 8135 Wilshire set is a passage function lockset supplied as a complete set with knob, latch and strike, and it is a tubular lock through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy: solid brass plates with no latch, so nothing holds the door closed. On a hallway, bedroom or bathroom door that has to stay shut, the passage set is the functional part; the dummy is for a leaf that is already held by a catch or is fixed.

Brass is the substrate, not just the plating, on both the knobs and the 7 inch sideplate. That matters on a passage door that gets pulled hundreds of times a week, and it's why the unlacquered version can patina rather than wear through a finish coat down to a different base metal.

Yes, the Wilshire 7 inch sideplate takes brass knobs or brass levers on the same plate at the same price, so you can run levers where you want ADA-friendly operation and knobs elsewhere with the plate, finish, and door prep staying identical. Order the lever openings with handing called out; the knob openings don't need it.

They are separate lines and the plate profiles are not interchangeable, so plan the mix by opening rather than by matching plates. The Emtek 8135 Wilshire is a 7 inch brass sideplate knobset in the American Designer style, offered in French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The Omnia D12036 family is solid brass with its own sideplate design and covers the keyed openings: D12036A single cylinder, D12036AC double cylinder, and D12036PD double dummy at 5-1/2 inches center to center. A common approach is to run one line on the interior passage doors and let the other handle the entry and inactive leaves, accepting that the two plate shapes read differently up close.
