Emtek 8213-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8213 privacy sideplate lockset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The 8213 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a normal tubular lockset. The latch backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, and the lockset fits doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers both older interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch slabs.
2) What does the privacy function on the Emtek 8213 do, and is there a key?
Privacy means a push-button or turn lock on the inside for bedrooms and bathrooms, with an emergency release on the outside. There is no cylinder and no key on the 8213, it is a non-keyed set. If you need a key on that door, a privacy sideplate is the wrong function.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an Emtek 8213 sideplate lockset?
Handing is required on every order, right hand or left hand. Emtek calls it out specifically for leversets, since a lever has to point toward the hinge side to work. Stand outside the door, on the side that swings away from you: if the hinges are on the right it is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand.
4) Which backset do I order for the Emtek 8213, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. Standard shipment on the 8213 is the 2-3/8 inch latch, so if your door measures 2-3/4 inches you have to specify that at order time. Both backsets are offered and the choice is a required selection.
5) For a closet or a false door that does not need to latch, is the Emtek 8213 the right lockset?
No. The Emtek 8213 is a working privacy lockset sold as a complete set with knob or lever, latch and strike plate, and it needs a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset bored into the door. For a surface-mounted closet or double-acting door where no latch is wanted, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center, which mounts without a latch.
6) What comes in the box with an Emtek 8213 sideplate lockset?
It ships as a complete set: the knob or lever you choose for the inside trim, the 9 inch sideplates, the latch, and the strike plate. You pick the latch faceplate as round corner or square corner to match the existing mortise in the door edge. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a door that is already bored.
7) Can I get an Emtek 8213 sideplate with any knob or lever style?
Yes, the 8213 takes any Emtek brass knob or lever, and the choice is a required order selection. That spans modern trim like the Stuttgart and Helios levers, the Ace and Spoke knobs, and the L-Bar, T-Bar and R-Bar family in faceted, hammered, knurled, Tribeca and white marble, through to traditional Providence, Waverly and crystal knobs. The sideplate is the same part in every case, only the trim changes.
8) Is the Emtek 8213 lockset rated for commercial use?
Emtek lists the 8213 as a residential product. For homes, condos and light multifamily bedroom and bath doors it is the right call. For a commercial corridor or a high traffic institutional opening, spec a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lock instead.
9) Can I use the Emtek 8213 on a 1-1/2 inch thick door?
Yes, that falls inside the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range the 8213 covers. There is a door thickness entry on the order so you can state the actual measurement. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches is outside what this set handles.
10) The Omnia D12036 sideplate levers look like the Emtek 8213 - can I swap one for the other on the same door?
They serve different functions even though both are brass sideplate levers. The Emtek 8213 is a tubular privacy lockset in brass, with the plate measuring 9 inches and a bore prep of 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are deadbolt lever locksets, single cylinder and double cylinder respectively, and the D12036PD is a double dummy with 5-1/2 inch center to center plates. Match on function first: privacy against a deadbolt lockset is not a like-for-like swap, and the plate prep will not line up.
11) What finishes does the Emtek 8213 Modern sideplate lockset come in?
Six finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). Unlacquered brass is the one to know about, it has no clear coat and will patina with handling, so it will not stay matched to a lacquered set on the next door.
