Emtek 8716-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 8716 Delaware lockset lock, or is it just a passage set?
Passage only. It latches the door closed and turns freely from both sides with no key and no privacy turn, which makes it the right set for hallways, closets, and pantry doors. If you need a bedroom or bath door, you want a privacy set instead, and if the door needs a key, a keyed sideplate lockset.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Delaware 8716 sideplate lockset?
Yes, handing is a required choice, right hand or left hand. Stand outside the door (the side it swings away from): hinges on the right is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand. It matters most with a lever, since a lever has to point toward the latch edge to look and work correctly.
3) Is the Emtek 8716 Delaware sideplate lockset rated for commercial door traffic?
It is a residential set. For an office suite, school, or multi-family corridor door on a high-cycle opening, specify commercial-grade bored hardware instead. The Delaware fits residential and light-use interior openings, including model units and common-area doors that see household-level traffic.
4) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek 8716 Delaware sideplate lockset if the door needs to lock with a key?
The Emtek 8716 Delaware 9 inch sideplate lockset is a passage, non-keyed function, so the knob or lever turns freely from both sides with no locking at all. For a sideplate set on a door that has to be secured with a key from outside, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keyed on the exterior with a thumbturn inside. That is the usual pairing for an entry door, while the 8716 suits a hall, closet, or pantry door where latching is all that is required.
5) Which sideplate lever set should be used on a door with glass sidelights instead of the Emtek 8716 Delaware?
The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design, keyed on both faces so there is no interior thumbturn to reach through glass. The Emtek 8716 Delaware is a passage set with no cylinder in it at all, so it does not answer a glazed opening where local code calls for double keying. Confirm egress requirements for the occupancy before specifying a double cylinder.
6) What finishes does the Emtek 8716 Delaware sideplate lockset come in?
Eight: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina, so pick it deliberately if you are matching a fleet of doors that need to stay uniform.
7) Can I put a different knob or lever on the Emtek Delaware 8716 sideplate set?
You choose the trim when you order, from Emtek's full brass knob and lever range: levers like Stuttgart, Athena, Luzern, Milano, Coventry and Rustic, knobs like Orb, Round, Egg, Providence and Waverly, plus crystal options such as Windsor, Georgetown and Old Town, and the L-Bar, T-Bar and R-Bar modern series in finishes like knurled, hammered and white marble. That selection is required, so the set is built to the style you pick.
8) Round or square corner latch faceplate on the Emtek Delaware 8716 lockset?
Both corner styles are covered. Match whatever is routed into your door edge now: a square-corner mortise pocket takes the square faceplate, a drilled round pocket takes the radius corner. Getting this right is what saves you chiseling the edge on a retrofit.
9) I need a sideplate set for a door that does not latch at all, like a closet pair. What should I use instead of the Emtek 8716?
The 8716 Delaware is a working passage set with a latch and strike, so it is more hardware than a non-latching door needs. For a fixed or pull-only door, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center in solid brass, which gives you the sideplate look with no latch mechanism.
10) Are the Omnia D12036 sideplate sets a direct replacement for an Emtek 8716 Delaware passage lockset?
They are not interchangeable by function. The Emtek 8716 Delaware is a tubular passage lockset, non-keyed, sold as a complete set with latch and strike and prepped for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Omnia D12036 sideplate sets are deadbolt lever locksets: the D12036A is single cylinder, the D12036AC is double cylinder, and the D12036PD is a double dummy. They share the long sideplate appearance but each carries a different function, so match the function to the opening rather than the plate shape.
11) What matches the look of an Emtek 8716 sideplate lockset on a false or non-operating door?
For a door leaf that does not operate, such as an inactive pair or a decorative closet front, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing. It mounts as trim only with no latch. The Emtek 8716 Delaware is a complete working passage set that includes the knob or lever, latch, and strike plate and takes a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it is the wrong choice where no bore or latch is wanted.
