Emtek Classic Keypad Leverset

Yes. The Classic keypad leverset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep and fits doors from 1-3/4 inches up to 2-1/4 inches thick, which covers the usual 1-3/4 inch residential entry door with no extra parts. Below that, on a 1-3/8 to 1-5/8 inch door, you need the Emtek thickness adaptor, which is an added-cost item and has to be specified with the order. There is also a free-text Door Thickness field on the order, so give the actual measured thickness of the door and the right latch and adaptor go in the box.

Handing is required. The Classic keypad leverset is ordered as right hand or left hand, and there is no reversible or non-handed option, so a wrong call means a wrong part. Stand outside the door (the keypad side): if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on your left is left hand. If you want a non-handed lever for a job where handing is uncertain, the Falcon B101 and K101 cylindrical passage levers are non-handed, though those are passage function and carry no keypad.

Two functions are offered. The plain keypad leverset is the standard entry setup: valid code or key retracts the latch and the lever operates from inside. The keypad leverset with storeroom/gate function keeps the outside lever locked at all times, so entry is only by code or key and the lever never unlocks by a thumbturn or button. Storeroom/gate is what you want on a pool gate, a mechanical room, a storage room, or any opening that must never be left unlocked by accident.

Yes. The Classic keypad leverset ships with a Schlage C keyway cylinder as standard, so it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C system on the rest of the building. A Weiser WR5 keyway cylinder is the alternate, ordered as a substitution if the property is already on Weiser keys. Both keyways are available across every finish and both functions.

No. It is a residential product, brass bodied, with a tubular latch chassis, and it is the right choice for a house, a condo, or a light multi-family unit door. For a commercial opening that has to take real traffic, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lever instead: the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 cylindrical lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Neither of those has a keypad. If you need keypad access on a heavier door, the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock is Grade 2.

The Emtek Classic keypad leverset fits doors between 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard door prep, and adaptors are available for doors between 1-3/8 inch and 1-5/8 inch. If you would rather not add an adaptor, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers a 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock covers 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch. Both Lockey sets are mechanical keyless rather than electronic code storage, so you gain the thinner-door range and give up the 20 user codes the Emtek keypad stores.

The straight equivalent in another brand is the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, a Grade 2 lockset from the LP250 series. Both are electronic keypad levers rather than mechanical pushbutton locks. The Emtek Classic is a brass tubular lockset offered in a residential line with a choice of Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway for the key override, and handing must be specified; the Delaney LP250 is catalogued at Grade 2. Choose on keyway and lever style if you are matching existing doors.

Partly. The Emtek Classic keypad leverset is available in a storeroom/gate function as well as the standard keypad function, and it is an electronic keypad. If a code-only, battery-free lever is preferred for that opening, the Lockey 2835DC double combination mechanical keyless lever lock and the Lockey 1150 double combination mechanical keypad lever set are both passage function, meaning the lever retracts the latch from the inside without a code. The Lockey 2835 is listed as ADA compliant. The trade is that the Emtek storeroom/gate variant holds the outside lever locked and adds a keyed override in Schlage C or Weiser WR5.

Up to 20 user codes. That is enough to give each tenant, cleaner, or trade a separate code on a small multi-family or short-term rental door, and codes can be deleted individually when someone leaves rather than rekeying the cylinder. The keyed cylinder stays as the override, so a master key still gets you in if the batteries or the keypad are a problem.

Three finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), and Polished Brass Lifetime (US3). All three are available with either function and either keyway. Because Emtek uses the same finishes and the same lever styles across the Classic line, you can put a keypad on the entry and plain passage or privacy levers on the interior doors in the matching finish and lever design, which is how most whole-house jobs are specified.

Yes, and it is a required choice on the order. There are 51 lever styles, spanning the modern bar shapes (L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar, each in Faceted, Hammered, Knurled, Tribeca, Straight Knurled and White Marble) through the named designs, Athena, Helios, Hermes, Luzern, Poseidon, Stuttgart, Argos, Aston, Basel, Breslin, Dumont, Freestone, Geneva, Hercules, Mercury, Myles, Sion, Spencer, Triton, Cortina, Manning, Milano, Merrimack, Turino, Coventry, Elan, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Rustic, Santa Fe, Wembley, Arts and Crafts, and Hammered. Pick the same style you are running on the interior doors and the entry matches.

If the opening only needs a keyed entry lever, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset can be set aside for a keyed lever such as the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever, a Grade 2 lock with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. That backset matches the Emtek standard latch, which is 2-3/8 inch with 2-3/4 inch available. For a storeroom opening without a keypad, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt.

Function-wise they are different products and one will not replace the other. The Emtek Classic keypad leverset is a keypad lockset storing up to 20 user codes with handing required. A dummy lever such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy or the BEST 7KC single dummy trim has no latch mechanism at all, and a passage lever such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever is non-handed and never locks. Those are the right choices for a closet or a false-active leaf beside the keypad door, not a substitute for it.

No adapter is needed. The Emtek Classic keypad leverset ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard, with a Weiser WR5 keyway available as a substitution, so it keys into either system directly. Adapter kits such as the Accentra 107S Schlage cylinder adapter kit are made for Yale hardware and are not a path to changing the Emtek keyway.

Brass, both material and substrate, in the Emtek Brass collection. Solid brass holds up better than a zinc casting on an exterior door that sees weather and daily use, and it is why the Polished Brass Lifetime finish can carry a lifetime finish designation. The styling is Emtek's American Classic look, which is what pairs it with traditional and transitional trim rather than a commercial-looking lockset.

For a residential entry in a decorative brass line without code entry, Deltana entry levers cover similar ground: the 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead are all entry function and fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek Classic keypad leverset is an American Classic style brass set fitting 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors with adaptors down to 1-3/8 inch, and it adds keypad entry with a keyed override. The Deltana sets are key-only entry, so the decision is whether the household wants codes.
