Emtek 8135.CV.RH.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8135 Wilshire sideplate passage set fit my existing 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The Emtek 8135 Wilshire sideplate leverset uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, the same prep found on most interior doors. Backset is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and it covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The one thing to check is the sideplate itself: it is a 7 inch plate, so the face of the door needs a clear 7 inch run of stile behind it, and any old rosette screw holes outside that footprint will still show.
2) Does a passage set mean there is no lock at all?
Correct. The 8135 Wilshire is a passage function set, non-keyed, with no cylinder and no thumbturn. The levers simply retract the latch from both sides at all times. Use it on hallways, closets, pantries and pairs of doors that need to latch shut but never need to be secured. If the door is a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy function instead, and if it needs a key you want a keyed entry set.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Emtek 8135 leverset?
Yes, handing is required. Order left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door (the side you push from): if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, on the right it is right hand. Levers are handed because the lever has to sweep down toward the latch edge, so a mis-handed set will point the wrong way.
4) What do I use on a closet or double door where the lever doesn't need to turn at all?
The Emtek 8135 Wilshire passage set has a working latch, so it retracts when the lever is turned and is meant for a door that actually latches. For a surface-mounted, non-operating pull on a pair of doors, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center - double dummy function, no latch bore needed.
5) Which backset should I order, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the existing bore hole. Residential interior doors are usually 2-3/8 inches, and that is what ships as standard on the 8135; 2-3/4 inches is the other choice and is common on heavier or commercially prepped doors. Backset is a required selection, so state it with the order rather than assuming.
6) What comes in the box with the Emtek 8135 Wilshire passage set?
It ships as a complete set: levers for both sides, the sideplates, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a correctly prepped door. Latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so match whatever mortise is already cut in the door edge.
7) What is the CF mechanism latch option on the Emtek Wilshire set?
Three latch choices are offered: the standard latch, a 28 degree rotation latch, and the CF mechanism, which includes the 28 degree latch and mounts so the rosettes have no exposed screws. Pick CF if you want a clean face with no visible fasteners. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens the lever swing needed to retract the bolt.
8) Can I get the Wilshire sideplate with a different lever than the ones shown?
Yes. The 8135 Wilshire plate takes any Emtek brass knob or lever style at the same price. Stocked selections include Coventry, Elan, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Rustic, Santa Fe and Wembley levers, and any other brass lever or knob can be called out in the comments when ordering. That is how you match one plate across a house while varying the grip.
9) Is the Emtek 8135 sideplate lockset suitable for a commercial opening?
No. The 8135 Wilshire is built for residential use, solid brass, tubular lock type. For a high-traffic commercial corridor or anything on a rated opening you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lockset instead. On multi-family unit interiors and upscale residential jobs it is appropriate.
10) I want a sideplate lever that locks with a deadbolt. What should I look at instead of the passage set?
The 8135 Wilshire has no locking function at all, so for a secure opening look at the Omnia D12036A, a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, or the D12036AC, the double cylinder version with a sideplate design. Both keep the sideplate look while adding a deadbolt. If you only need a non-functioning lever on an inactive door, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy version with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center.
11) How does the Emtek 8135 Wilshire compare to the Omnia D12036 sideplate levers on material and hand?
Both are solid brass sideplate lever sets. The Emtek 8135 Wilshire uses a 7 inch sideplate, is built in brass, and requires handing - it is ordered left hand or right hand, in finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are solid brass as well but are deadbolt lever locksets, single and double cylinder respectively, so they carry a cylinder the Emtek passage set does not.
12) Can the Omnia D12036PD dummy set replace an Emtek 8135 Wilshire passage set on a hall door?
No. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy - the levers are fixed and there is no latching mechanism, so a hall or bedroom door would swing free. The Emtek 8135 Wilshire is a passage set with a latch and strike included, adjustable to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and it is the one that keeps the door closed. Use the D12036PD only where a pull is wanted, such as the inactive leaf of a pair.
13) What finishes does the Emtek 8135 Wilshire leverset come in, and which one will patina?
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). Unlacquered Brass is the living finish that darkens with handling, while Polished Brass Lifetime is coated to stay bright. Oil Rubbed Bronze also changes with wear at the high-touch points.
