Emtek 8235 Designer Brass Knobset with Wilshire 7" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Privacy Set

Yes, but you have to order the extended door thickness option. The 8235 Wilshire knobset is offered in a standard build covering 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 inch doors and an extended build covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Pick the extended version for anything over 1-3/4 inches, otherwise the spindle and screw lengths will come up short.

It's a bed and bath lock: a thumbturn or push button on the inside locks the knob from the room side, with an emergency release on the outside. There is no key and no cylinder in this set, so it is not meant for an exterior door or anything you need to secure with a key.

It ships as a complete set: knobs, the sideplates, latch, and strike plate. No separate latch purchase. You do choose the backset when ordering, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and the latch faceplate is available with round or square corners to match the existing mortise in your door edge.

No. The 8235 Wilshire is a non-keyed privacy set with no cylinder, so it will not secure an entry door. For a keyed sideplate opening, an Omnia D12036A single cylinder deadbolt sideplate lockset handles a standard entry, and the D12036AC is the double cylinder version for a door with glass beside the lock. If you want the look on a closet or a false pair, the D12036PD is a dummy sideplate set at 5-1/2 inch center to center.

The Emtek 8235 with the Wilshire sideplate is non-keyed privacy hardware, so it cannot be keyed from either face. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with solid brass construction and a sideplate design, meaning it takes a key on both sides. That is the one to specify for a glazed door or a door where you do not want a thumb turn on the interior; check your local egress code before using double cylinder hardware on an exit door.

No. Handing is only required on Emtek leversets. Knobs are symmetrical, so a left or right hand door makes no difference to the 8235 knob version. The one thing you still need to get right at the door edge is the latch backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches.

Six catalogued brass knobs work on the Wilshire plate: Beaded Egg, Belmont, Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, and Victoria. If you want a brass knob Emtek makes that isn't on that short list, it can be ordered at the same price by naming it in the comments field with your order.

Three latch builds are offered. Standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens how far the knob turns to retract the bolt, which some people prefer for feel and for lighter operation. The CF mechanism gives you sideplates and rosettes with no exposed screws for a cleaner face, and it includes the 28 degree latch as part of the assembly. Choose CF if the visible fastener heads bother you on the finished door.

Seven finishes: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass will patina over time rather than staying bright, so if you are matching a set of existing doors that were done in living finish, that is the one that ages in. Lifetime polished brass holds its shine.

It's a residential product. The 8235 Wilshire is a solid brass tubular set built for homes, high-end residential remodels, and light-duty interior openings. For apartment corridor doors, schools, or anything with heavy daily traffic, spec a commercial bored lock instead.

No - they are different functions on the same door style. The Emtek 8235 with the Wilshire 7 inch sideplate is a non-keyed Privacy/Bed/Bath knobset with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, so it brings a key cylinder and lever trim rather than a privacy knob. If you are replacing a bath door set and want the same behavior, stay with the 8235; if you are upgrading that opening to keyed, the Omnia unit changes the door prep and the trim style at the same time.

The Emtek 8235 is a tubular privacy set that includes a latch and strike plate, so it needs a bored door with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. On a non-latching leaf, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center, a double dummy function that surface mounts as a pull with no latch or bore required. Use the 8235 where the door has to actually lock, and the dummy set where the door only needs a handle.

A sideplate set puts the knob on a long backplate, here 7 inches, instead of a small round rosette. It reads as period or designer hardware rather than builder-grade, and it covers more of the door face, which helps when you are replacing older hardware that left marks or an oversized prep. Functionally it uses the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore as a rosette set, so it is a look decision, not a prep decision.

Keep the Emtek 8235 Designer Brass knobset where the opening is an interior bed or bath door: it is a residential, non-keyed privacy function in brass, offered with knob styles including Beaded Egg, Belmont, Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, Rope and Victoria, and finishes from Polished Brass Lifetime and Unlacquered Brass through Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter, Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome and French Antique. Move to the Omnia D12036A single cylinder or D12036AC double cylinder sideplate deadbolt lever locksets when the door needs a key cylinder, and to the D12036PD double dummy when it needs no latch at all.
