Emtek 8235 Wilshire 7" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Privacy - Brass Tubular

Yes. The Wilshire 8235 uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a normal tubular lockset. Backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, the two backsets almost every bored door is drilled to, and it covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. What it does need beyond a plain knob prep is room for the 7 inch sideplate on the face of the door, so check that the stile is wide enough to carry a plate that long without running into the door edge or a glass panel.

It is non-keyed. The 8235 Wilshire is a privacy (bed and bath) set: it locks from inside the room with a thumbturn or button and has an emergency release outside, with no key cylinder anywhere on it. Use it on bedrooms, bathrooms, and interior doors. For an entry door or anything that needs a key, you want a keyed sideplate set instead, not this one.

No. The Wilshire 8235 is a residential product, a solid brass tubular privacy set built for bedrooms and baths in homes and residential units. For a school, office, or high-traffic institutional opening you want a commercial-grade cylindrical or mortise lock instead. Property managers doing multi-family interiors are the right fit for it; MRO buyers speccing commercial corridors are not.

Yes. Door thickness range runs 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both the thinner 1-3/8 doors common in older houses and the 1-3/4 standard. There is a door thickness field on the order, so state yours if it is not 1-3/4. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 is outside what this set handles.

The Emtek 8235 Wilshire is a privacy/bed/bath tubular lockset, which means it latches and locks from inside - more than a closet or pantry door needs. For a non-latching opening, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2" center to center; the double dummy function means trim on both faces that does not turn a latch. Pair the privacy function where a bedroom or bath needs to secure, and the dummy where the door only needs a pull.

Yes, and the choice is wide open. The Wilshire 8235 plate accepts any Emtek brass knob or lever style, from plain shapes like the Round Knob and Egg Knob to levers such as the Milano, Turino, Coventry, and Rope, plus crystal knobs like Windsor and Georgetown. You pick the trim style separately from the plate. If you go with a lever you must also give the handing; a knob is symmetrical and does not care.

Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Because the finish codes are the standard US numbers, matching across a building is a matter of pinning the code, not the name. One thing to know if you are standardizing: Unlacquered Brass is left bare and will patina with handling, so it will not stay looking like the Polished Brass Lifetime finish over time.

A sideplate set carries the knob or lever on a long escutcheon plate that runs up and down the face of the door instead of a small round rose. The Wilshire 8235 uses a 7 inch plate. Functionally it is still a bored tubular lock in a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it installs the same way; the difference is the look, and the fact that the plate covers a wider patch of the door face. That is useful when you are replacing older hardware that left marks or a bigger footprint, and it needs more clear stile than a rose does.

Run them by opening. Bedrooms and baths take the Emtek 8235 Wilshire 7" non-keyed privacy sideplate lockset, in brass, ordered with the knob or lever style and finish that matches the rest of the unit. The entry door takes the Omnia D12036A single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, or the D12036AC double cylinder version where a key is wanted on both sides. Closets, French door slabs and any inactive leaf take the Omnia D12036PD double dummy set with plates at 5-1/2" center to center. That covers a full unit with one visual family of sideplate trim.

No. Both are brass sideplate-style trim, but they are different functions on different doors. The Emtek 8235 Wilshire 7" set is non-keyed privacy/bed/bath tubular hardware. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with a sideplate design, so it is keyed from both faces and carries a deadbolt rather than a privacy turn. Swapping one for the other changes both the door prep and how the room secures, so match on function first and appearance second.
