Emtek 8211 Modern 7" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Privacy - Brass Tubular

The 8211 mounts on one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so a door already bored for a normal tubular knob or lever set takes it without re-boring. Door thickness runs 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both older interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch stock. Backset is 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches; the standard latch ships set for 2-3/8, so call out 2-3/4 on the order if that's your prep. The one thing to measure before ordering is the face of the door: this is a 7 inch sideplate, not a round rose, so the stile needs 7 inches of clear face at the bore.

No key. The 8211 is a non-keyed privacy set, the bed and bath function, so it locks from inside the room only. For a keyed sideplate on an entry door, Omnia's D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset and the D12036AC is the double cylinder version, keyed from both sides.

Handing gets specified on the order, and Emtek requires it on leversets. To read the hand, stand on the outside of the door: hinges on your right is right hand, hinges on your left is left hand. Get it wrong on a lever and the handle points the wrong way on the door.

It ships as a complete set: knob or lever trim, latch, and strike plate. Nothing else to buy to hang it on a prepped door. What you do have to decide at order time is the trim, since the 8211 can be built with any of Emtek's brass knob or lever styles, plus the finish, the backset, and the hand.

The Emtek 8211 is a non-keyed set with a privacy bed and bath function, so it takes no cylinder and is not an entry solution. For the entry, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with solid brass construction, so the key lives on the outside face while the trim stays a lever on a plate. Running the 8211 on the bedroom and bath doors and the D12036A on the entry keeps lever-and-plate trim at every opening and puts the keyed function only where the door has to lock behind someone.

The latch faceplate is offered round corner or square corner, so match it to what's already cut in the door edge and no chisel work is needed. Older doors and most factory-prepped slabs are routed round corner; square corner shows up on doors prepped for a squared faceplate. Latch depth follows the backset you order, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches.

That's exactly what the 8211 is for. It's a tubular lock behind a 7 inch sideplate, so you get the long plate look of a mortise lockset off a single standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore instead of cutting a pocket into the door edge. Trim is brass and the styling is contemporary, part of Emtek's Modern series.

Six finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Satin Brass (US4). Since the 8211 is built from Emtek's brass collection, the same finish codes carry across the brass knob and lever styles, so bedroom and bath doors can be matched to the rest of the door hardware on a unit. One note if you're doing a fleet of doors: unlacquered brass has no clear coat and will darken with handling, so it won't stay uniform door to door the way the plated finishes do.

The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center, in a double dummy function, meaning trim on both faces with no working lock. That is the right pick for a closet, a false door, or the leaf of a pair that stays shut. The Emtek 8211 is built for the opposite job: it is a privacy bed and bath set sold complete with the lever or knob, latch, and strike plate, and it needs one standard 2-1/8 inch door prep to operate.

The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with solid brass construction and a sideplate design, so it is keyed from both faces. That is the one to reach for when a door has glazing beside the lock and you do not want a turn piece within arm's reach. The Emtek 8211 will not do this job at all - it is a non-keyed privacy set for bed and bath doors. One thing to settle before ordering the D12036AC: a double cylinder requires a key to retract the bolt from the inside as well as the outside, so check it against the egress requirements that apply to the opening.

Plan on two different preps rather than a swap. The Emtek 8211 works off one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, in a 7 inch sideplate, and it carries a latch into the edge of the door. The Omnia D12036PD is listed at 5-1/2 inch center to center between its plates and is a double dummy, so it has no latch bore or strike to line up. Measure the plate length and the existing hole centers on the door before treating either one as a retrofit for the other.

Split it by what the door has to do. Bedroom and bathroom doors take the Emtek 8211, a non-keyed privacy set in brass on a 7 inch sideplate, adjustable to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and sized for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The entry takes the Omnia D12036A, a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass. A door that has to be keyed from inside as well takes the Omnia D12036AC in double cylinder. Closets, false doors, and the inactive leaf of a pair take the Omnia D12036PD, a double dummy with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center. That covers every opening in a unit with lever-on-plate trim throughout.

Emtek classes the 8211 as residential, and the privacy function is the right one for bedroom and bathroom doors in a unit. Trim and plate are brass. On a turn it goes onto the existing 2-1/8 inch bore, so you're swapping trim rather than reworking doors, and the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thickness range covers the hollow core and solid core slabs typical in multi-family.

They share the D12036 base number and the same solid brass lever lockset with plates; the suffix sets the function. The D12036A is single cylinder, keyed from one face. The D12036AC is double cylinder, keyed from both faces. The D12036PD is a double dummy with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center, non-operating trim on both sides. If the function you are after is privacy for a bed or bath door, none of the three cover it - that is the Emtek 8211, a non-keyed tubular privacy set.
