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

Yes. The 8135 Wilshire sideplate set uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a normal tubular knobset. The backset is adjustable for 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and the set covers doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The one thing to check is the sideplate itself: it is a 7 inch plate, not a round rosette, so the face of the door has to have room for it and any old rosette wear ring will likely show.

It does not lock. Passage function means both knobs always retract the latch, with no key and no privacy button. Use it on hallways, closets, pantries, and bedroom doors where you only want the door to stay closed. For a bathroom or bedroom that needs to lock from inside, you need a privacy version instead, and for an entry you need a keyed set.

No - they are not interchangeable even though both are brass sideplate-style hardware. The Emtek 8135 is a passage knobset with porcelain knobs on a Wilshire 7 inch non-keyed sideplate, using a single 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset latch. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, so it carries a lever rather than a porcelain knob and adds a keyed deadbolt, which means a second bore and a cylinder in the door. Swapping one for the other changes the door prep.

It ships as a complete set: both porcelain knobs on the brass Wilshire sideplates, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed for a standard bored door. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in the door edge.

No. Handing is only required on Emtek leversets. Knobs are symmetrical, so the 8135 porcelain knobset installs on a left or right hand door either way. What you do have to specify is backset and, if the door is thick, the extended thickness option.

CF is the concealed fastener build: the plates mount with no exposed screws on the face, and it includes the 28 degree rotation latch. The other two choices are the standard latch or the 28 degree rotation latch on its own. The 28 degree latch needs less knob rotation to retract, which is easier on the wrist. If you want a clean plate face with no visible screw heads, take CF.

Two stocked porcelain knobs, Ebony and Ice White, with other Emtek knob styles available by note at order. The sideplate and metalwork come in ten finishes: Flat Black US19, French Antique US7, Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Pewter US15A, Polished Brass Lifetime US3, Polished Chrome US26, Polished Nickel Lifetime US14, Satin Brass US4, Satin Nickel US15, and Unlacquered Brass US3NL. Unlacquered brass will patina over time, so it is the one to pick only if you want that living finish.

Yes. The Wilshire sideplate can be ordered with any Emtek brass knob or lever style at the same price, so you can run the same plate across a house and vary the handle. Use the comments field to name the style you want. Remember that if you switch to a lever, handing becomes a required spec on that set.

It is specified as residential. The 8135 is a brass, tubular, non-keyed passage set from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, built for the look of a home or a boutique interior rather than for commercial traffic. For a high-cycle commercial opening you want a cylindrical or mortise lock carried for that duty, not a decorative porcelain knob set.

Run the Emtek 8135 Porcelain Knobset with the Wilshire 7 inch sideplate on the interior passage doors - it comes with Ebony and Ice White porcelain knobs and finishes including Unlacquered Brass, Polished Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Flat Black, all in brass. At the entry, where a key is required, the Omnia D12036A single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset or the D12036AC double cylinder version gives you solid brass sideplate hardware with a deadbolt. The interior knobs stay porcelain; the entry carries a lever and cylinder.

The Emtek 8135 Wilshire passage set is a tubular latching set - the knob retracts a latch into a strike. If the leaf is stationary and only needs hardware to pull on, a dummy is the correct part: the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch centers, surface mounted with no latch or bore to operate. Choose the 8135 when the door must latch closed, the D12036PD when it only has to look complete.

Not the Emtek 8135 Wilshire set - it is a residential passage set with no key or thumbturn at all. For glazed openings where a reachable thumbturn is a concern, the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with sideplate design, keyed from both sides so there is no interior turn to reach through broken glass. The Omnia D12036A is the single cylinder equivalent if local code or egress preference calls for a turn on the inside.
