Emtek 8235.IW.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8235 Wilshire privacy knobset fit my existing door prep?
It drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so a door already bored for a typical residential lockset takes it without new boring. Backset is adjustable at 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and you pick which one when you order. The 7 inch Wilshire sideplate is longer than a round rosette, so the face of the door needs clear stile height for a 7 inch plate above and below the bore.
2) Is the Emtek 8235 keyed, and what door should it go on?
Non-keyed. It is a privacy function set for bedrooms and bathrooms, meaning a push button or turn on the inside and an emergency release outside. There is no cylinder, so it is not the right part for an entry door or anything you need to key.
3) I need a keyed entry on the same door style, not a bed and bath set. What should I use instead of the Emtek 8235 porcelain knobset?
The Emtek 8235 Wilshire sideplate knobset is a non-keyed privacy function for bed and bath doors, so it will not secure an exterior or lockable entry. For a keyed opening, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, which takes a key on the outside face. Choose the 8235 where you only need a bathroom or bedroom thumbturn, and the D12036A where the door has to lock with a key.
4) I need matching hardware on a closet or pantry door that does not latch. Is the Emtek 8235 the right part?
No. The Emtek 8235 Wilshire sideplate set is a working privacy lockset with a latch and strike, so it needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a latch bore. For a non-latching closet or pantry door, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever set with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing, which surface mounts as trim only.
5) Do I need to specify handing for the Emtek Wilshire knobset?
No. Handing is only required on Emtek leversets. Knobs are symmetrical, so a knobset like the 8235 goes on either hand of door.
6) What porcelain knob colors and finishes can I get on the Emtek 8235?
Knob choices are Ebony and Ice White porcelain, with other Emtek knob styles available by note on the order. Sideplate and trim finishes run to ten: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Useful if you are matching hinges and other openings already in the house.
7) What is included with the Emtek 8235 Wilshire privacy set?
It ships as a complete set: knobs, the sideplates, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is required to hang it on a bored door. Latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in the door edge.
8) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek sideplate sets?
Three latch choices. Standard latch is the conventional Emtek tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation latch shortens the knob turn, which suits porcelain knobs that are awkward to twist far. The CF mechanism also includes the 28 degree latch and mounts with no exposed screws on the rosettes, so the trim face stays clean. Choose CF when the look matters, standard when it does not.
9) Is the Emtek 8235 porcelain knobset rated for commercial use?
It is a residential lockset. The chassis is a tubular bored lock with brass trim and porcelain knobs, built for homes rather than high traffic commercial openings. For an apartment turn or a single-family remodel it is on spec; for a school corridor or an office suite it is the wrong class of hardware.
10) Can I match this Emtek privacy set with a keyed sideplate lockset on the same doors?
The 8235 itself is non-keyed, so for an entry you need a keyed sideplate set. If you want a deadbolt with matching sideplate trim, Omnia offers the D12036A single cylinder and D12036AC double cylinder deadbolt sideplate locksets in solid brass, plus the D12036PD double dummy version at 5-1/2 inch center to center for a closet or false door. Those are a different brand, so the finish will not be a factory match to Emtek.
