Emtek 8821-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order a knob or lever separately with the Emtek Wilshire 8821 sideplate?
No, and you can't. The 8821 Wilshire ships as a complete unit: the sideplate plus the knob or lever you pick, and the selection is required when you order. There are 89 knob and lever styles to choose from, including levers like the Stuttgart, Athena, Luzern and Milano, knobs like the Egg, Melon, Octagon and Waverly, and crystal knobs such as the Windsor and Georgetown. One price covers the plate and the handle together.
2) Does the Emtek 8821 Wilshire entry set need handing, and what happens if I get it wrong?
Handing is required at checkout, right hand or left hand. The sideplate lockset is a handed assembly, so a left hand set won't operate correctly on a right hand door. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings away from you, that's right hand. Get it settled before you order, since this is not something you can flip in the field.
3) Will the Emtek Wilshire 8821 latch and strike drop into my existing mortises, or do I need to recut?
Depends on the corners you already have. The 8821 Wilshire comes with a square corner latch faceplate measuring 2-1/4 x 1 inches and a square corner strike at 2-1/4 x 1-1/2 inches as standard. Round corner versions of both are available if you specify at checkout. If the existing latch mortise in your door edge has radiused corners, order the round corner option and you avoid chiseling; if it's square, take the standard.
4) Can I key several Emtek 8821 Wilshire entry sets alike for the same house?
Yes. Keying is a required choice on the order: keyed different or keyed alike. Keyed alike means one key runs every set you order together, which is what you want when a front door, side door and back door are all getting Wilshire sideplates. There's also a keying to code field if the property already runs a specific key code and you need the new locks cut to match it.
5) Is the Emtek 8821 Wilshire single cylinder or double cylinder, and which do I want on a glass panel door?
Single cylinder. The 8821 Wilshire is keyed from the outside and released from the inside by thumb-turn without a key, which is the usual choice for a front or side entry. On a door with glass beside or within it, some jurisdictions push toward a double cylinder so the lock can't be reached through broken glass, and Emtek does not offer this function double keyed. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with a sideplate if that's the direction you need to go.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 8821 Wilshire keyed sideplate lockset from another brand?
The Omnia D12036A single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset is the nearest peer. Both are solid brass sideplate-style entry sets with a single cylinder function, so one key operates the exterior. The Emtek 8821 Wilshire measures 5-1/2 inch center-to-center in solid forged brass, and the Omnia D12036A is likewise solid brass single cylinder construction. The practical difference is trim: the 8821 takes a knob or lever selection from the Emtek knob and lever range, while the D12036A is supplied as a lever lockset.
7) I need a keyed entry set that locks with a key from both sides, not a thumbturn inside. What should I use instead of the Emtek 8821?
The Emtek 8821 Wilshire is a single cylinder set, keyed on the exterior only. For a door that must be keyed from both faces, such as an entry with adjacent glazing, the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design. Double cylinder means a key is required on the interior as well, which is a life safety consideration on egress doors and is restricted in some jurisdictions, so confirm the local code before specifying it.
8) What's the difference between the Emtek 8821 Wilshire sideplate set and the Omnia D12036A?
Both are single cylinder brass sideplate entry sets, but the mechanism differs. The 8821 Wilshire is a tubular lockset in solid forged brass, keyed on the outside with a thumb-turn inside, and it uses a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center plate. The Omnia D12036A is a deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, also single cylinder. Omnia's dummy version of the same plate, the D12036PD, is the double dummy for an inactive door leaf where no latching is wanted at all.
9) Can I add a deadbolt above the Emtek 8821 Wilshire and have both throw with one turn of the lever?
That takes the Emtek 443 Interconnect Device, which is offered as an option with the 8821 Wilshire. It ties the sideplate lockset and a deadbolt together so the inside lever retracts both at once. If you don't add it, the entry set and any deadbolt above it operate independently.
10) Is the Emtek Wilshire 8821 sideplate lockset suitable for a commercial building?
It's built as residential hardware. The 8821 Wilshire is a solid forged brass tubular entry lockset intended for residential entry doors, and it's catalogued as residential rather than commercial. For a leased commercial opening or a high-traffic institutional door where a graded, cycle-tested lock is specified, this is the wrong direction; that opening wants a commercial mortise or cylindrical lockset instead.
11) I am doing a pair of doors and want the hardware to match. How do the Emtek 8821 and the Omnia D12036 sets line up?
Within the Omnia D12036 group the function changes while the sideplate format stays constant: D12036A is single cylinder, D12036AC is double cylinder, and D12036PD is a double dummy at 5-1/2 inch center-to-center. The Emtek 8821 Wilshire is the single cylinder keyed option at the same 5-1/2 inch center-to-center in solid forged brass. Matching a pair of doors is easiest within one brand, since the sideplate profile and finish are consistent across the family; mixing an Emtek keyed leaf with an Omnia dummy leaf will match on center-to-center but not necessarily on plate shape or finish name.
12) Can I use the Emtek 8821 Wilshire on a commercial corridor or apartment building entrance?
The Emtek 8821 Wilshire is a residential entry lockset with a tubular latch in solid forged brass, designed for entry doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are likewise solid brass residential-style sideplate lever sets, single and double cylinder respectively. For a high-traffic commercial opening, specify a cylindrical or mortise lock rated for that duty instead of any of these decorative sideplate sets.
13) What finishes does the Emtek 8821 Wilshire keyed sideplate lockset come in?
Ten, and they cover most of what shows up on residential entries: Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19) and Polished Chrome (US26). If you're matching existing openings, the two Lifetime finishes hold their appearance, while Unlacquered Brass is the one that will darken and patina with handling.
14) Does the Emtek 8821 Wilshire come with a template, or do I need a separate install kit?
A door template is included with the 8821 Wilshire, and the set installs into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The latch and strike come with it. What you still have to decide before it ships is handing, backset, keying, and whether you want square or round corner faceplate and strike, since those aren't field-changeable once the door is cut.
