Emtek 8228-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8228 Delaware sideplate lockset fit my existing door prep?
If the door already has a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, yes. The Delaware 8228 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch bore and an adjustable latch for either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and it fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick. The long sideplate itself needs a flat, unbroken stile area around the bore, so check that the existing rosette hole is not larger than the plate will cover.
2) What does the privacy function on the Emtek 8228 actually do?
It is a bed and bath privacy lock, non-keyed. A brass thumbturn on the inside plate locks the door from within, and there is no key cylinder on either side. That makes it right for bedrooms and bathrooms, not for an entry door or any opening that needs keyed security.
3) Do I have to specify handing when I order the Delaware 8228?
Handing is required on every order, right hand or left hand. It matters most with levers, since a lever has to point toward the latch side, but the order form asks for it either way. Stand on the outside of the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand.
4) What comes in the box with the Emtek 8228 Delaware sideplate set, and what do I still need?
It ships as a complete set: the knob or lever you selected, the latch, and the strike plate, plus the brass thumbturn on the privacy side. Nothing else is required beyond the door prep itself. The latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so match that to the mortise already cut in the door edge.
5) Can I pick any Emtek knob or lever with the Delaware plate?
Any Emtek brass knob or lever style can be ordered on the Delaware plate. The choices run from levers like Stuttgart, Athena, Luzern, Cortina and Rope through knobs such as Providence, Egg, Octagon and Square, and include crystal and stone options like Windsor Crystal, Modern Disc Crystal and L-Square White Marble. The inside trim style is a required selection on the order.
6) What is the center-to-center on the Delaware plate, and does it matter for matching other doors?
The Delaware plate measures 3-3/8 inches center to center. If you are standardizing a house or a unit, the other openings need to use the same 3-3/8 inch CTC plate for the trim to line up visually and for the bore spacing to match. A longer sideplate like a 5-1/2 inch CTC design will not read as the same family.
7) Is this Emtek sideplate lockset suitable for a commercial corridor or apartment turn?
The 8228 Delaware is a residential-rated solid brass tubular lockset with a privacy function. It suits single-family, condo and higher-end multi-family interior doors. For a commercial corridor or any opening needing an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 cylindrical lock and fire-rated hardware, specify a commercial grade lockset instead.
8) I need a keyed or deadbolt sideplate set, not a privacy one. What should I look at?
The 8228 Delaware is non-keyed, so it will not secure an exterior door. For a sideplate design with a cylinder, Omnia's D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, and the D12036AC is the double cylinder version with a sideplate design. If you only need matching trim on an inactive or false door, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy sideplate set at 5-1/2 inch center to center.
9) What do I order for the inactive leaf of a pair where nothing needs to latch, if the active leaf uses a sideplate set?
The Emtek 8228 Delaware is a working privacy set - it ships as a complete set with knob or lever, latch and strike plate, and needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For a fixed or inactive leaf that needs matching trim but no latch, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center. Note the plate spacing differs from the 8228, which uses 3-3/8 inch center to center, so the two will not read as an identical pair side by side.
10) Are the Omnia D12036 sideplate sets a drop-in substitute for the Emtek 8228 Delaware privacy lockset?
They are not equivalents in function. The Emtek 8228 Delaware is a tubular privacy/bed/bath lockset with a brass thumbturn and no key, adjustable for 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset and the D12036AC is a double cylinder version, both deadbolt functions rather than a privacy latch. Use the Emtek 8228 where you want a bedroom or bathroom thumbturn, and the Omnia sets where a deadbolt is called for.
11) What finishes does the Emtek 8228 Delaware privacy set come in?
Eight brass finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Lifetime Polished Brass (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, which is expected behavior, not a defect.
12) I want solid brass sideplate hardware throughout the house - do the Emtek and Omnia sideplate options match on material?
Both are brass. The Emtek 8228 Delaware is brass material and substrate and can be ordered with any brass knob or lever style, in finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are described as solid brass construction lever locksets. Finishes are named on different systems between the two brands, so confirm the finish match visually before mixing them on adjacent doors.
