Emtek E4817-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek E4817 keypad entry set fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The E4817 keypad entry set covers 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors, so a 2 inch slab is inside the range with no spacer kit. It goes into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, which is the residential prep most exterior doors already have. If your door is a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial-style slab, that is the low end of the range and it drops straight in.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek E4817 electronic keypad handleset?
Handing matters only if you pick a lever for the inside trim. With an interior lever, the E4817 has to be ordered right hand or left hand so the lever throws down toward the correct side. Choose a knob for the inside instead and handing stops being a fit issue. Both RH and LH are ordering choices on the set.
3) What backset does the Emtek E4817 come with, and can I use it on a 2-3/4 inch bore?
The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is available if you specify it on the order. Those are the two backsets used on residential exterior doors, so measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore before you order. Get this wrong and the latch will not reach the spindle.
4) Can I key the Emtek E4817 to my existing Schlage or Kwikset keys?
The cylinder is offered in a Schlage keyway as standard, or a Weiser WR5 keyway as an option. Weiser WR5 is the keyway Kwikset-family residential keys use, so if the rest of your doors run on that key section, order the WR5 version. Keying to code is available, and sets can be ordered keyed alike to each other or keyed different.
5) What is the difference between the Emtek E4817 keypad entry set and a keypad deadbolt with a separate handleset?
The E4817 puts the keypad in the entry set itself, one prep, one 2-1/8 inch bore, and the latch is the locking point. Kwikset and Yale take the other approach: the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset pairs a gripset with a separate Smartcode electronic deadbolt, and the Yale Assure BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen deadbolt ships with the Ridgefield handleset. Those need the deadbolt bore as well, and they give you a deadbolt throw into the frame. Pick the E4817 when you want one clean opening and matching Emtek trim; pick a deadbolt-based set when the door already has a deadbolt prep or you want deadbolt security.
6) What else can I use if my door is thinner than 1-3/4 inches?
The E4817 keypad set starts at 1-3/4 inches, so a 1-3/8 inch slab is out of range. Among the handlesets we carry, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Those are mechanical keyed entry sets, not keypad, so you would lose the code entry.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek E4817 keypad entry set if the door is 1-3/4 inch or thicker and I want the keypad built into a handleset?
The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range and operates as a standalone unit, so it matches the E4817 on door thickness and on keypad-with-handleset format without adding network hardware. The Emtek E4817 is a brass single cylinder entry handleset with a keypad reader and fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. The Yale is a touchscreen deadbolt paired with handleset trim rather than a keypad on a bored entry set, which is the practical difference for door prep.
8) The Emtek E4817 is a single cylinder keyed set. What is the equivalent if I do not want a key cylinder at the exterior at all?
The Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim is a code-only exterior with Wi-Fi, on a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Emtek E4817 is keyed single cylinder and ships with a Schlage or Weiser WR5 keyway, so a key remains a valid credential at the door. For an opening where key control is the concern, the key free Yale removes the cylinder; for one where a mechanical key override is required by policy, the E4817 keeps it.
9) Is the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset the same thing as the Emtek E4817?
Both put a keypad on an entry handleset, but they are built differently. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT is a Signature Series San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever interior trim and a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey cylinder, RCAL latch and RCS strike, on a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Emtek E4817 is a brass single cylinder entry set with the keypad on the entry lock rather than a separate deadbolt, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and taking a Schlage or Weiser WR5 keyway. The Kwikset needs a deadbolt bore in addition to the entry bore; the E4817 works from a 2-1/8 inch cross bore standard door prep.
10) Which handleset should I use if my door is only 1-3/8 inch thick?
The Emtek E4817 keypad entry set fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, so a thinner door needs a different set. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch in the Premiere Essentials series, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All three are mechanical handlesets rather than keypad sets.
11) The Emtek E4817 is single cylinder. What do I order for a double cylinder entry on a glass panel door?
The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is an entrance function set for a 1-3/4 inch door, keyed both sides; the 6542ENTR is the single cylinder version of the same trim. The Emtek E4817 is single cylinder only, with the keypad on the exterior. Note the Baldwin 6542 is mortise trim, so it requires a mortise pocket rather than the 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore prep the E4817 uses.
12) Does the Emtek E4817 keypad entry set come with the latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
It is a complete set. The E4817 includes the latch and the strike plate along with the exterior keypad escutcheon and the interior trim, so nothing else is needed to hang it on a prepped door. You do have to choose the inside knob or lever, the handing, the backset, and the keyway when you order, since the set is built to those selections.
13) Is the Emtek E4817 a keypad only, or can I still use a key?
Both. It is a single cylinder entry set, so the outside has a keyed cylinder alongside the keypad and the inside thumbturn or trim retracts without a key. Twenty user codes can be stored, and it ships programmed with two secure codes so it works out of the box before you set up your own.
14) Can I match the inside knob or lever on the Emtek E4817 to the rest of the doors in the house?
Yes, and that is the main reason people spec this one. The inside trim can be ordered with any Emtek brass knob or lever, across roughly ninety styles including the Stuttgart and Helios levers, the Ace and Spoke knobs, the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families, and crystal knobs like Bristol and Windsor. So the keypad door can carry the same lever as every interior door on the floor.
15) Is the Emtek E4817 keypad entry set rated for commercial use?
No. The E4817 is a residential product with a tubular bored lock body, so it suits single family homes, condos, and short term rental units rather than a commercial opening on a traffic count. Property managers standardizing on it across a multi-family building should treat it as residential-duty hardware.
16) I want a keypad on a thick door, around 2-1/4 inches. What are my options besides the Emtek E4817?
The E4817 handles up to 2-1/4 inches, and so do the Yale Real Living Assure sets: the BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version both list 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches. The split is code entry only versus connected. The E4817 is a standalone keypad storing up to 20 user codes with no app or network; the Yale CBARX versions add Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. On a thick door with a single bore, the E4817 is the simpler prep.
17) Can I order several Emtek E4817 sets keyed alike for a rental property?
Yes. Keying is an ordering choice: keyed alike so one key runs every door, or keyed different. Keying to an existing code can also be specified, which is what you want when a building already runs a key system and the new door has to fall into it. Stay on one keyway across the order, Schlage standard or Weiser WR5, or they cannot be keyed alike.
18) I need a solid brass entry handleset in a traditional look rather than the modern Emtek E4817. What are the options?
Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass sets. The Emtek E4817 is also brass but is a contemporary style set with a keypad reader. If the opening calls for a traditional brass handleset without electronics, the Deltana sets are the direct mechanical counterparts.
19) Which handlesets look like an alternative to the Emtek E4817 but will not lock the door?
The Weslock 6695 Belmont handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is non-keyed entry function. None of them provide keyed or coded security. The Emtek E4817 is an entry function keyed single cylinder set with a keypad, so a dummy or non-keyed set is only correct on an inactive leaf or a door that does not need to lock.
20) Can I use the Kwikset 687AMD Amador handleset in place of the Emtek E4817?
Only if the inside trim is being handled separately. The Kwikset 687AMD is a Grade 3 single cylinder keyed entrance handleset supplied exterior only, offered with SmartKey in the 687AMD-S and with an SC1 keyway SmartKey in the 687AMD-SMC, on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek E4817 is sold as a complete set including latch and strike plate, with the interior knob or lever specified as part of the order. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview is the same exterior only Grade 3 arrangement in a different trim.
21) What is the difference between the Emtek E4817 and the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock for a rental unit entry door?
The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, JI Series, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The lever itself is passage function and the security comes from the deadbolt above it, retracted together. The Emtek E4817 is an entry function keypad set on a single 2-1/8 inch bore, so it is one point of prep rather than an interconnected two-bore arrangement, and access is by code or key.
22) I want to match knob styles across several doors and only one of them needs a keypad. What pairs with the Emtek E4817?
The Emtek E4817 is ordered with the inside trim selected from the full brass knob and lever range, so the coded door can carry the same knob as the mechanical doors around it. For the mechanical doors, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered as an entrance set with the Alcott knob in the 180WYHXATK and the Carnaby knob in the 180WYHXCYK, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry in the Traditionale series covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the E4817 covers.
23) What finishes does the Emtek E4817 keypad handleset come in?
Four: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). All four are offered with either the standard Schlage keyway or the optional Weiser WR5. A split finish can also be specified if you want the outside escutcheon in one finish and the inside trim in another, which is common when the exterior has to match other street-facing hardware.
24) Is the Emtek E4817 solid brass or plated?
Brass throughout. Both the substrate and the material are brass, which is why the interior trim can be ordered from Emtek's brass knob and lever range and why the finishes run the traditional US codes rather than painted coatings.
