Emtek 8160-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8160 Colonial sideplate lockset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The 8160 Colonial keyed sideplate lockset uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a normal tubular lockset. The latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and it covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The sideplate itself is 3-5/8 inch center-to-center, so the existing bore has to line up with that plate layout.
2) Is the Emtek 8160 keyed on both sides or just the outside?
Double cylinder. The 8160 is an entry function sideplate set that takes a key on the inside as well as the outside, so there is no thumbturn to release it from within. That is the right choice on a door with glass next to the lock, and the wrong choice where egress code or a life-safety concern requires a key-free exit, in which case a single cylinder set is what you want.
3) Do I need to specify handing when I order the Emtek 8160 sideplate lockset?
Handing is required, right hand or left hand, and it matters most on a leverset since a lever has to point toward the latch edge. Knob styles are still ordered with a hand called out on this set. Stand on the outside of the door: hinges on the right is right hand.
4) Can I get several Emtek 8160 locksets keyed alike, or keyed to an existing key code?
Yes on both. Keying is specified at order time as keyed different or keyed alike, and there is a field to supply an existing key code if you are matching locks already on the building. For a multi-unit or whole-house job, keyed alike means one key runs every 8160 you order together.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 8160 Colonial keyed sideplate lockset from another brand?
The Omnia D12036AC is the nearest match in function and construction: it is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design, the same double cylinder keyed arrangement the Emtek 8160 uses. The Emtek 8160 is brass with a 3-5/8 inch center-to-center sideplate; the Omnia D12036AC is described as solid brass with a sideplate design.
6) I do not want a key cylinder on the inside of the door - what should I use instead of the 8160?
The Emtek 8160 is a double cylinder entry set, meaning it is keyed on both sides. If you want a key outside and a thumbturn inside, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass. Double cylinder sets are often restricted on egress doors by local code, so confirm the requirement for your opening before choosing.
7) What comes in the box with the Emtek 8160 Colonial keyed sideplate set?
It ships as a complete set: the knob or lever you choose, the sideplate trim, the latch, and the strike plate. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner so it can match the mortise already cut in the door edge. No separate cylinder or deadbolt purchase is needed.
8) Can I pick any Emtek knob or lever for the inside of the 8160 sideplate lockset?
Any Emtek brass knob or lever style can be paired with the 8160 Colonial sideplate. That spans levers like Stuttgart, Athena, Luzern, Cortina, Milano and Rustic, classic knobs such as Egg, Providence, Waverly and Victoria, crystal knobs including Windsor, Hampton and Old Town, and the newer bar and L-Square trims. Style choice is on the inside trim, and it does not change the 2-1/8 inch bore or the backset.
9) What finishes does the Emtek 8160 Colonial sideplate lockset come in?
Eight: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its shine, which matters if you are matching several openings in one house.
10) Is the Emtek 8160 Colonial lockset rated for commercial use?
It is a residential product. Solid brass tubular construction on a Colonial sideplate, aimed at homes, renovations and high-end residential work. For a commercial opening with heavy cycle counts, a bored or mortise lock built for that duty is the better route.
11) What is the difference between a sideplate lockset like the Emtek 8160 and a separate knob plus deadbolt?
A sideplate set puts the latch trim and the cylinder on one long backplate, so you get a single unified escutcheon on the face of the door instead of two separate roses. The 8160 does it at 3-5/8 inch center-to-center between the knob and the keyed cylinder, and it uses one 2-1/8 inch bore. Separate knob-and-deadbolt hardware needs two bores and gives you a deadbolt's heavier throw, which a tubular sideplate entry set does not provide.
12) What is a double cylinder sideplate lockset alternative to the Emtek 8160?
Omnia's D12036AC is a solid brass double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with a sideplate design, so it covers the same key-both-sides sideplate approach. If you want a key only on the outside, the Omnia D12036A is the single cylinder version, and the D12036PD is a double dummy for a non-latching or inactive door leaf.
13) What do I put on a false or inactive door to match an 8160 entry set?
Use a dummy set rather than a functioning lockset. The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center - it has no latch and no cylinder, so it is surface applied for pull-only use. The Emtek 8160 by contrast is a working tubular entry set with latch and strike plate and requires a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Note the 5-1/2 inch center to center on the Omnia dummy does not line up with the 8160's 3-5/8 inch spacing.
14) Will an Omnia D12036 sideplate set drop into the same door prep as an Emtek 8160?
Do not assume it will. The Emtek 8160 works from one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch adjustable backset and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and its sideplate is on 3-5/8 inch center to center. The Omnia D12036PD dummy, for example, is on 5-1/2 inch center to center, so plate and bore locations differ between the families. Check the existing bore spacing on the door before swapping brands.
15) I need a residential entry set where I can pick the interior knob or lever design - Emtek 8160 or Omnia D12036AC?
The Emtek 8160 is a residential brass tubular entry set that can be ordered with any Emtek brass knob or lever style for the inside trim, from crystal knobs to a long list of lever designs, in finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Flat Black and Unlacquered Brass. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design. If interior trim choice is the deciding factor, the 8160 is the set built around that selection.
