Emtek 8204 Quincy 7-1/8" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Privacy - Brass Tubular

Yes, backset is a required choice on the Quincy 8204 and both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch are offered. The latch shipped by default is the 2-3/8 inch, so if your bore is set back 2-3/4 inches from the door edge you have to call that out on the order. Those are the only two backsets used on residential bored doors, so measuring from the edge of the door to the center of the bore tells you which one to pick.

Handing is required on the Quincy 8204, and it is a required selection at order either way. On a leverset it genuinely matters, a lever has to point toward the latch side, so stand outside the door and note which side the hinges are on before you pick right hand or left hand. Knobs are symmetrical, but the order still takes a handing value.

The 8204 ships as a complete set: the knob or lever you selected, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a bored door. There is no cylinder and no key, this is a privacy function for a bedroom or bath, so it locks from the inside with an emergency release outside rather than being keyed.

The Emtek 8204 Quincy 7-1/8" sideplate lockset is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath tubular lock, so it holds a bedroom or bathroom door shut but takes no key. For an exterior or otherwise secured opening on a sideplate-style trim, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keyed from one side and operated by turn from the other. The Emtek 8204 is the choice when the requirement is occupancy privacy; the Omnia D12036A is the choice when the opening has to be locked and unlocked with a key.

The Emtek 8204 Quincy sideplate lockset is a non-keyed privacy set, which means the inside releases without a key and it is not intended for an opening where reach-through is the concern. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design, keyed from both sides so there is no inside thumbturn to reach. Local code governs where double cylinder hardware is permitted on an egress door, so confirm the requirement for the opening before ordering.

Any Emtek brass knob or lever style will go on the Quincy 8204 sideplate, which is why the trim is a required selection rather than fixed. That spans levers like Stuttgart, Athena, Luzern, Cortina and Rustic, traditional knobs like Egg, Melon, Providence and Waverly, the crystal knobs including Bristol, Windsor and Diamond, and the contemporary bar and conical trims in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble treatments. Pick the trim and the sideplate stays the same.

The Quincy 8204 comes in eight finishes: 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). Those are standard US finish codes, so if you know the code on your existing hardware you can match to it directly. Note that Unlacquered Brass is intentionally left to patina and will darken over time, while the Lifetime Polished Brass will not.

The Quincy 8204 is a residential product. It is a brass tubular privacy set built for bedroom and bath doors in homes and unit interiors. For corridor doors, stairwells or anything on a life safety path in a commercial building, you want a commercial-grade cylindrical or mortise lock instead.

Both. The latch faceplate on the 8204 is available round corner or square corner, which matters on a retrofit: a door already mortised for a square corner latch will show a gap around a round corner face, and a round mortise will not accept a square face without chiseling the corners. Match the face to what is already cut into the door edge.

The Emtek 8204 Quincy 7-1/8" sideplate lockset is a working privacy set and ships as a complete assembly with knob or lever, latch and strike plate, so it needs a bored door with a 2-1/8" cross bore. Where the door only needs a pull and no latching at all, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with plates, drilled 5-1/2" center to center. Use the Emtek 8204 on the doors that must lock and the Omnia D12036PD on the closet fronts and inactive leaves.

They are not interchangeable functions. The Emtek 8204 Quincy is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath tubular lockset, adjustable to a 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset on a 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door with a single standard 2-1/8" door prep. The Omnia D12036 sideplate locksets are deadbolt lever locksets in single cylinder, double cylinder and double dummy functions, and the D12036PD is bored 5-1/2" center to center. A bathroom door specified for privacy takes the Emtek 8204; the Omnia sets serve keyed and dummy openings on a different prep.
