Emtek 8997-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door applications work with the Emtek Delaware sideplate lockset?
This lockset fits standard residential interior and exterior doors with 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thickness. Works on wood, metal, and fiberglass doors. Verify door weight capacity with manufacturer specifications.
2) How do I determine the correct door handing for installation?
Stand on the side where the door opens away from you. If hinges are on the right, order right-hand. If hinges are on the left, order left-hand. Confirm handing before drilling door prep.
3) What finish options are available for the Delaware series?
Emtek offers multiple finishes including brass, bronze, nickel, and painted options. This specific model features brass finish. Check with manufacturer for complete finish availability and matching hardware.
4) What is the center-to-center measurement and why does it matter?
The 5-1/2" center-to-center refers to the distance between the door knob and deadbolt centers. This measurement must match your door preparation or existing lockset spacing for proper installation.
5) Can this lockset be used for commercial applications?
Verify grade rating and cycle testing with manufacturer specifications. Most residential locksets have lower duty ratings than commercial-grade hardware. Check local building codes for required security levels.
6) What tools are needed for installation?
Standard installation requires drill, hole saw bits (typically 2-1/8" and 1" diameter), chisel, screwdriver, and measuring tape. Use manufacturer's template for accurate hole placement.
7) How do I maintain the brass finish?
Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that can damage finish. Apply manufacturer-recommended wax or protective coating for high-traffic applications.
8) What other Emtek hardware can match this lockset?
Emtek offers coordinating Delaware series handles, knobs, and trim pieces in matching finishes. Check the complete Emtek collection for compatible hardware options.
9) How do I adjust the latch if the door doesn't close properly?
Check strike plate alignment and door frame square. Adjust strike plate position or file latch opening slightly. Ensure door is not warped and hinges are properly installed and adjusted.
10) Are replacement parts available for this lockset?
Emtek typically stocks replacement cylinders, keys, springs, and trim components. Contact manufacturer with model number for specific part availability and compatibility.
11) Can I rekey this lockset to match existing keys?
Most keyed locksets can be rekeyed by a qualified locksmith. Bring existing key and new lockset to locksmith for cylinder modification. Verify cylinder type compatibility before rekeying.
12) What door preparation is required for sideplate locksets?
Standard door prep includes two cross-bore holes and edge bore hole. Sideplate style may require additional mortising for decorative plates. Use manufacturer's drilling template for precise measurements.
