Emtek 8822 Wilshire 5-1/2" Center-to-Center Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage/Double Keyed - Brass Tubular

The 8822 Wilshire fits doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick and uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a conventional bored lockset. The backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which covers both common residential preps. The one thing to check is the sideplate itself: it needs a flat run of stile to sit against, since the plate spans 5-1/2 inches center to center between the knob or lever and the key cylinder.

Yes. The 8822 Wilshire is a double cylinder entry set, keyed on the exterior and keyed again on the interior, so there is no thumbturn inside. That is the right choice for a door with glass beside it or in it, where a thumbturn could be reached through a broken pane. It is the wrong choice where local code or an insurer requires egress without a key. If you want key outside and turn inside, look at a single cylinder set instead, such as the Omnia D12036A single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset.

It is a residential lockset. The 8822 Wilshire is a brass tubular bored lockset built for houses and residential entries, not for the traffic or code requirements of a commercial opening. For a multi-family or commercial door, spec a commercial-rated cylindrical or mortise lock instead. Where it does belong is a front or side entry where the sideplate look is wanted and the door has a standard bored prep.

In most cases yes. It uses one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is what the great majority of residential doors are already bored for. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing hole to confirm the backset, and check the door thickness is between 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inches. What you will need is a new mortise in the edge for the sideplate if the door currently has separate rosettes, since the plate covers the full 5-1/2 inch span rather than two round trims.

The Emtek 8822 Wilshire is a keyed sideplate entry lockset with a double cylinder keyed function, meaning it takes a key on both faces. Where a key on the inside is not wanted, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, so the interior operates without a key. That difference matters on a bedroom or an interior door in a rental, where many jurisdictions and fire officials want egress without a key, and on a glass-panel entry, where the double keyed Emtek 8822 is chosen precisely so the inside cannot be turned by reaching through broken glass. Confirm the local egress requirement for the opening before choosing between the two.

Yes. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset with solid brass construction and a sideplate design, matching the Emtek 8822 Wilshire on the point most buyers are matching for: a long plate behind the lever with a key on both the outside and the inside. The Emtek 8822 is a brass tubular entry lockset with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and it carries a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center dimension between the lever and the cylinder. Verify the Omnia bore layout against the door prep before ordering, since the two brands are not prepped from the same template.

No. The Omnia D12036PD is a dummy lever lockset with plates, a double dummy function, so it is trim only: the lever does not retract a latch and there is no key cylinder. The Emtek 8822 Wilshire is a keyed entry lockset with a double cylinder keyed function, supplied as a complete set with the knob or lever, latch and strike plate. They photograph alike because both use the same long sideplate at 5-1/2 inch center to center, which is exactly why the substitution gets made by mistake. If the door has to latch and lock, the working keyed set is required; the D12036PD is for openings that only need to look the part.

Handing is required because the lever has to point toward the latch edge and the sideplate is oriented to the door. Stand outside the door, on the side you would use a key. If the hinges are on your right, it is right hand; hinges on your left, it is left hand. Get it wrong on a lever and the lever points the wrong way. Knob styles are symmetrical, but the order still asks for the hand so the plate and latch are set up correctly.

Yes. Keying is a free option on the 8822 Wilshire: order keyed alike so several openings run on one key, or keyed different if each door gets its own. You can also supply an existing key code and have them cut to that code, which is how you add a door to a system already installed rather than rekeying the whole set. Note the set is double cylinder, so each door consumes two cylinders on that keyway.

It ships as a complete set: the knob or lever you specified, the latch, and the strike plate, along with the keyed sideplate trim. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner so it matches an existing mortise in the door edge. Nothing else is needed for a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door. If you are pairing it with a separate lower knob or lever set and want the two to retract together, add the Emtek 443 interconnect device.

A sideplate set puts the lever or knob and the key cylinder on one continuous brass plate, 5-1/2 inches center to center, rather than on two separate rosettes. Visually it reads as one piece of hardware. Functionally the 8822 is an entry lock, so the locking is in the tubular lockset itself rather than in a separate deadbolt body. Choose it when you want the long-plate look on an entry door; choose a knob and deadbolt combination when you want a deadbolt throw independent of the latch.

Omnia makes the nearest equivalent. The D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design, which is the same key-both-sides arrangement as the 8822 Wilshire. If you want key outside and turn inside, the Omnia D12036A is the single cylinder version. For a matching non-locking opening (a closet or a false side of a pair), the D12036PD is a double dummy in the same 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing.

The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center, which is the same center-to-center dimension the Emtek 8822 Wilshire carries. A dummy has no latch and no cylinder, so it mounts surface-fixed on an inactive leaf, a closet door, or a false panel and gives the visual match without a working lock. For property managers running a pair of doors at a main entry, that is the usual pairing: the working keyed set on the active leaf, the dummy on the other, so the elevation reads the same across both.

The Emtek 8822 Wilshire is a tubular lockset: it runs through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset latch, and the lever or knob and the cylinder both sit on one sideplate. The Omnia D12036AC is described as a deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design, so the locking element on that set is a deadbolt rather than the keyed tubular latch. For a contractor this changes the door prep and the strike work more than anything visible on the face, and for a security integrator it changes what is actually holding the door - a deadbolt throw versus a keyed tubular latch. Check the existing prep on a retrofit before committing to either.

All three functions are covered in solid brass. Keyed on both faces: the Emtek 8822 Wilshire, a brass entry lockset with a double cylinder keyed function, or the Omnia D12036AC double cylinder lever lockset. Keyed outside only: the Omnia D12036A, a single cylinder set. No lock at all: the Omnia D12036PD double dummy. A landlord standardizing a building usually wants the single cylinder on unit doors for egress, the double keyed where there is glass beside the lock, and the dummy on inactive leaves - and the same brass family across all three so the finishes read together.

Ten finishes, all on solid brass: 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 are matching existing hardware in a house, the US numbers are the ones to compare, not the marketing names. Unlacquered brass will patina over time; the Lifetime finishes will not.
