Emtek 8203-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a non-keyed privacy lockset and where is it used?
A non-keyed privacy lockset locks from the inside only using a push button or turn mechanism. No key access from outside. Used for bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where privacy is needed but emergency access may be required.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Victoria sideplate lockset fit?
Standard door thickness is 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Verify your door thickness before ordering. Emtek may offer adjustable options for non-standard thicknesses through special order.
3) How do I determine door handing for this lockset?
Stand on the side where door opens toward you. If hinges are on right, it's right-handed. If hinges are on left, it's left-handed. Most residential locksets are reversible during installation.
4) What is the backset measurement for this lockset?
Standard backset is typically 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" from door edge to center of bore hole. Measure your existing lockset or door preparation. Most Emtek locksets are adjustable for both backsets.
5) What bore hole size is required for installation?
Standard bore hole is 2-1/8" diameter through the door face. Cross bore for latch is typically 1" diameter from door edge. Use manufacturer's template for precise measurements and alignment.
6) Is this lockset compatible with pre-hung doors?
Yes, if the pre-hung door has standard bore hole preparation. Verify bore size and backset match before installation. Some adjustment may be needed for strike plate alignment in the frame.
7) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic tools include screwdriver, drill with bits, hole saw (if boring new holes), chisel for mortising, and measuring tape. Installation typically takes 30-60 minutes for prepared doors.
8) How do you unlock a privacy lockset from the outside in emergency?
Most privacy locksets have emergency release feature. Look for small hole in outside handle or trim. Insert thin tool like paperclip or emergency key to release lock mechanism from outside.
9) What grade is this Emtek lockset rated for residential use?
Emtek residential locksets are typically Grade 2 or Grade 3 rated for residential applications. Check product specifications for exact ANSI/BHMA grade rating and cycle testing results.
10) How do you maintain brass finish on this lockset?
Clean with mild soap and soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals. Some brass finishes are lacquered, others will patina naturally. Check finish specifications for specific care instructions.
11) Can I replace just the lockset and keep existing sideplate?
Sideplate locksets are sold as complete units with matched components. Mixing different brands or series may cause fit and finish issues. Replace entire lockset for proper function and appearance.
12) What other Emtek Victoria series options are available?
Emtek Victoria series includes passage, privacy, keyed entry, and dummy functions. Available in multiple finishes and configurations. Browse our Emtek collection for complete Victoria series options.
