Emtek 8135 Wilshire 7" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage - Brass Tubular

Both work. The Wilshire 8135 covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which is the standard interior range for older and current residential doors. There's also a door thickness field on the order form, so if your doors sit outside the usual pair of thicknesses you state it when you order rather than guessing at a spacer.

It does. The Wilshire 8135 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so a door already prepped for a common tubular knob or lever set takes it without re-boring the face. The latch backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so either of the two standard edge bore positions is covered. What you do need to check is the sideplate footprint: it's a 7 inch plate, not a small round rosette, so it will cover more of the stile than whatever round-rose set came off the door.

Passage means it latches but never locks: no key, no thumbturn, no privacy button. The Wilshire 8135 is non-keyed passage, so it's for closets, hallways, pantries, laundry rooms, and any door you want held shut but never secured. For a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy function instead, and for an exterior or lockable door you want a keyed function. Ordering this one for a bath is the most common mistake on sideplate sets.

Handing is required on the order, right hand or left hand. Emtek calls for handing on leversets specifically, since a lever has to point away from the hinges, and the 7 inch sideplate itself is a directional plate. Stand on the outside of the door: if the hinges are on your right it's right hand, hinges on the left is left hand. Get this wrong and the lever points at the jamb.

Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore. 2-3/8 inches is typical on residential interior doors and is what the standard latch ships as; 2-3/4 inches is the wider commercial-style setting and has to be specified at order time. Both are selectable on the Wilshire 8135 and the latch is adjustable between them, so match whatever the door is already bored for rather than re-drilling.

The Wilshire 8135 won't lock at all, so it's the wrong pick for a door that needs security. Omnia builds sideplate-style lever locksets in solid brass with locking functions: the D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset (keyed outside), and the D12036AC is the double cylinder version, keyed both sides. If you only need the look on a door with no latching duty at all, such as a fixed or closet-front door, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy lever set with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center.

No. The Emtek 8135 Wilshire passage set is a working tubular lockset - it includes a latch and strike plate and retracts to open the door. An inactive leaf, a closet face that is held by a ball catch, or a false door takes dummy trim instead, which mounts to the face with no latch and no bore-through operation. The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing. Buying the passage set for a non-operating leaf means prepping a 2-1/8 inch cross bore in a door that did not need one.

It ships as a complete set: knob or lever, sideplate, latch, and strike plate. You pick the knob or lever style as part of the order (Emtek offers it with any of their brass knob or lever designs), plus finish, handing, and backset. Nothing else is required to hang it on a prepped door. Hinges and door stops are separate items.

Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered Brass has no clear coat and will darken and patina with handling, which is the point of it. The two Lifetime finishes, US14 and US3, are the ones to specify when you want the look held constant across a run of doors.

Most likely, yes. The Wilshire 8135 plate is ordered with your choice of trim from Emtek's full brass knob and lever range, which runs from contemporary bar and knurled designs (T-Bar, R-Bar, L-Square, Conical) through traditional levers (Cortina, Milano, Turino, Rope, Ribbon and Reed, Rustic, Santa Fe, Wembley) to knobs and crystal knobs (Egg, Melon, Providence, Waverly, Bristol, Windsor, Georgetown, Old Town). Order the same trim design and finish you already have and the passage door reads as part of the same set, just on a sideplate instead of a rosette.

Emtek lists the Wilshire 8135 as a residential product. It's a solid brass tubular set aimed at homes, high-end multi-family, and hospitality interiors rather than high-traffic commercial openings. For a school corridor or an office building with heavy cycle counts you want a commercial-grade cylindrical or mortise lockset instead of a decorative residential sideplate.

A sideplate set mounts the knob or lever on a long backplate running up and down the stile instead of a small round rose. The Wilshire is a 7 inch plate. Two practical consequences: it covers old fastener holes and wear marks that a rosette leaves exposed, and it needs a stile wide enough and clear enough to take a 7 inch plate without running into glass stops, panel moulding, or a hinge. The door prep underneath is the same standard 2-1/8 inch bore either way, so it's a straight visual swap on a bored door.

Function, and whether the door actually latches. The Wilshire 8135 is a working passage set: a live latch and strike plate hold the door closed, and turning the knob or lever retracts the bolt. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy, meaning the trim is fixed on both faces with no latch behind it, so the door needs a ball catch or roller catch to stay shut. Use the dummy on inactive or French door leaves; use the passage set anywhere the door has to close and stay closed on its own.

They are not interchangeable functions. The Emtek 8135 Wilshire is a 7 inch non-keyed sideplate lockset in passage, and the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset. Swapping one for the other changes what the door does and what the door has to be prepped for - the Omnia carries a cylinder that has to be keyed and a deadbolt bolt, where the Emtek runs a latch only on a single 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Treat them as different specifications, not as alternates for the same opening.
