Emtek 8203 Victoria 7-3/4" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Privacy - Brass Tubular

It drops in. The 8203 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which is the same prep as a normal residential knob or lever set. The long 7-3/4 inch sideplate covers the face of the door around that bore, so the visible footprint changes even though the hole pattern does not.

Handing is a required selection, right hand or left hand. It matters for a lever, since the lever has to point toward the latch edge; a knob is symmetrical and handing is not a functional issue there. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand.

Privacy, meaning bed and bath duty: it locks from the inside with a turn and has an emergency release on the outside, with no key and no cylinder. If you need a keyed opening, this is the wrong function; the 8203 is a non-keyed set.

The Emtek 8203 Victoria is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath tubular lockset in brass - it locks from the inside for a bedroom or bathroom and takes no cylinder or key. If the opening needs a key from the outside, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, and the Omnia D12036AC is the double cylinder version. Those two are keyed functions; the 8203 is a privacy function, so the choice is set by whether anyone needs to key the door, not by trim style.

For a door with glazing next to the lock, the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design - it is keyed on both sides, so there is no inside thumbturn to reach through broken glass. The Emtek 8203 Victoria is a privacy/bed/bath function with no key at all, which is why it belongs on a bedroom or bath door rather than on a glazed exterior opening. Note that double cylinder locking is restricted on egress doors in many jurisdictions, so confirm against the code that governs the building.

Treat them as different preps. The Emtek 8203 Victoria is a tubular privacy lockset built to one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and its sideplate measures 7-3/4 inch. The Omnia D12036PD is a dummy deadbolt lever set whose plates are spaced 5-1/2 inch center to center, and the D12036A and D12036AC are deadbolt lever locksets that carry a cylinder. Verify the existing bore spacing and plate footprint on the door before ordering across the two families.

It ships as a complete set: the knob or lever, the latch, and the strike plate. The knob or lever style is a required selection when ordering, not a separate purchase, and it can be paired with any Emtek brass knob or lever design, from the Victoria and Providence knobs through the Milano, Turino and Rope levers.

Five finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). If you are matching existing living brass that has aged, US3NL is the unlacquered one that will continue to patina; US3 is the lifetime coated brass that stays bright.

It is a residential product, solid brass tubular construction, and it belongs on bedroom and bathroom doors in homes, condo units, and boutique hospitality interiors. For a commercial corridor or anything carrying a code requirement on the opening, use a commercial grade bored or mortise lock instead.

The 8203 is privacy only. For a sideplate style set with a deadbolt, Omnia's D12036A is the single cylinder version and the D12036AC is double cylinder, both solid brass lever locksets. If the door is a false or closet door that only needs a pull on both faces, the Omnia D12036PD is the double dummy with plates, 5-1/2 inch center to center.

A closet, pantry, or inactive French door leaf takes a dummy set: the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center, and it has no latch or moving lock. The Emtek 8203 Victoria is a working privacy lockset - it ships as a complete set with knob or lever, latch, and strike plate, and requires a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Use the dummy where the door is held by a ball catch or roller catch and the trim is decorative only.

The Emtek 8203 Victoria is designated for residential use, in solid brass, with a privacy/bed/bath function - it suits homes, apartments, and hospitality guest rooms rather than high-traffic commercial corridors. The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are also solid brass sideplate-style deadbolt lever locksets, in single and double cylinder respectively, and belong to the same decorative brass class of hardware. For a corridor door carrying an ANSI/BHMA grade or fire-rating requirement, specify from a commercial bored lockset line instead of any of these decorative brass sets.

Yes, and that is the practical case for it. Every unit takes the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore and the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thickness range, so a mixed set of older and newer doors can all carry the 7-3/4 inch Victoria plate. Order the same finish across the floor and vary the knob or lever style only where you want it varied. Backset and handing are specified per door, so record those before placing a multi-door order.
