Emtek EMP24212-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door prep does the Emtek Melrose EMPowered handleset need, and can it go into an existing bore?
Standard prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore. If the door already has a common residential handleset prep at that 5-1/2 inch CTC, the Melrose drops in without new boring. Backset is 2-3/8 inches standard, with 2-3/4 inches available, so match whatever the existing bore is set at.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose entrance handleset?
Handing is a required choice, right hand or left hand, and it matters when a lever is used on the inside trim or an interconnect device is specified. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand. Get it wrong with a lever inside and the lever points the wrong way.
3) Can the Emtek EMPowered Melrose handleset be keyed into my existing Schlage or Weiser system?
Both keyways are offered. Schlage C is standard, and adding a W to the product code swaps in a Weiser WR5 cylinder at no upcharge, so it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keying is a required selection: keyed different or keyed alike, with an optional key code field if you are matching an existing bitting across a building.
4) Is the Emtek EMPowered Melrose a smart lock, and what app runs it?
Yes, it is an electronic entry set. The EMPowered upgrade adds Bluetooth and works with the Yale Access app, so you get phone access on a handleset that still takes a key on the outside (single cylinder function, thumbturn inside). Power is 4 AA batteries, so there is no wiring to run.
5) Which backset do I order for the Emtek Melrose handleset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
The standard latch is 2-3/8 inch backset; specify 2-3/4 inch if the door is bored that way. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore. Most residential doors are 2-3/8, and 2-3/4 shows up more on wider or heavier entry doors, so check the existing latch before ordering rather than assuming.
6) What is a comparable Bluetooth handleset to the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose if I want a touchscreen keypad instead of a key cylinder?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose is an electronic entry handleset with a single cylinder keyed function, so it always carries a key cylinder on the exterior. If you want the exterior to be keypad-driven instead, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset and fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. If you want no key at all, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim, also for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Melrose keeps a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder so it can be keyed into an existing master system; the Yale key-free set cannot.
7) I need an electronic handleset for a 1-3/8 inch door - what works if the Yale Assure sets are too thick?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors, so it takes a 1-3/8 inch slab directly. Among the electronic alternatives, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX and the standalone BYRD226NRRX both start at 1-3/4 inch, so a 1-3/8 inch door is below their range. The Yale Real Living BYRD410BLERX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset does cover 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever and Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt is listed at 1-3/4 inch.
8) Which handlesets look like substitutes for the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose but will not lock a door?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose is an entry function handleset with a single cylinder key. Several handlesets that photograph nearly identically do not lock. The Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever are both dummy function - they are surface-mounted pulls with no latch. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry handleset. If the opening is an exterior door that needs to be secured, none of those three replaces the Melrose.
9) What should I use instead of the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose if the door is prepped for a mortise lock body?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose is a tubular lock with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep, so it needs a bored door, not a mortise pocket. For a door already prepped for a mortise case, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is an entrance function mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder version covers the same 1-3/4 inch thickness where a keyed interior is required. Those two differ from the Melrose in lock body type, not just in trim.
10) The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose is a residential handleset - what carries an ANSI grade for a facility spec?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose is a residential entry handleset. If a submittal calls for a graded product, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series is Grade 2 entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 entrance function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3, entrance function, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and both are exterior trim only.
11) I key my buildings on Schlage C - which handlesets besides the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose take an SC1 cylinder?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose ships standard with a Schlage C keyway and can be substituted to Weiser WR5 at no upcharge by adding a W to the product code, so it can be keyed into either an existing Schlage or Weiser system. Among the alternatives, the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador single cylinder handleset is supplied with an SC1 keyway SmartKey cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors, while the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador of the same Grade 3 entrance function uses the standard SmartKey keyway instead. If the keying schedule is SC1, that distinction decides which of the two Amador part numbers you order.
12) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose for a thick 2-1/4 inch entry door?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose fits door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch, which covers a heavy slab. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry set covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. On the electronic side, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version both cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Handlesets such as the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder, at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, stop short of a 2-1/4 inch door.
13) What is actually in the box with the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose handleset?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. What you still choose is the inside trim: a brass knob or lever is a required selection, and there are close to ninety styles to pick from, from the Ace Knob and Spoke Knob through the Athena, Luzern and Rope levers to crystal knobs like Bristol and Windsor. It runs on 4 AA batteries.
14) What is a non-electronic alternative to the Emtek EMPowered Melrose entrance handleset?
If the smart function is not needed, mechanical single cylinder handlesets cover the same opening. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob handles 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, so it matches the thick end of the Emtek range. For thinner doors, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest and the Deltana 810871 Montego both run 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 keyed entry set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) Is the Emtek Melrose EMPowered handleset rated for a commercial opening?
It is a residential entry set in solid brass with a tubular lock. For an apartment unit door, a single family entry, or a short-term rental, that is the right class of product. For a commercial opening where a graded lock is specified, look instead at a Grade 2 unit like the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset or the Schlage F60 Addison.
16) Is the Emtek EMPowered Melrose a mortise or a tubular handleset?
Tubular. It uses a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore rather than a mortise pocket routed into the edge of the door, which means a lot less prep work on a new door and a straight swap on a door already bored for a residential handleset. If the door has a mortise pocket cut in it, this is not the set to order.
17) What is a simpler mechanical alternative to the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose handleset for a door that does not need app control?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose is a solid brass single cylinder entry handleset with the EMPowered electronic upgrade, running on 4 AA batteries with Bluetooth and the Yale Access app. For an opening where none of that is wanted, the Deltana 825871 Kingston and Deltana 815871 St. Ann are solid brass entry handlesets, and the Deltana 803871B Hanover is a solid brass entry handleset as well. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is a single cylinder handleset covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. All of these are purely mechanical, so they are keyed and turned by hand only.
18) Can I replace an Emtek EMP4212 Melrose with a handleset that only supplies the exterior trim?
No. The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose is sold as a complete set with the latch and strike plate, and the interior trim is chosen from the brass knob and lever range at the time of order. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview are exterior only, so the interior knob or lever and the deadbolt interior must already be on the door or be sourced separately. That is a different scope of supply, not a like-for-like swap.
19) What is an alternative to the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose if the interior needs a keyed deadbolt tied to a passage latch?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose is a single cylinder entry handleset, with handing required if a lever is used inside or if an interconnect device is specified. Where the opening calls for an interconnected trim instead, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 in the JI Series is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Its latch is passage function, with the security coming from the deadbolt above it.
20) What finishes does the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose handleset come in, and will they match the rest of my door hardware?
Six finishes, each available with either keyway: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), and Satin Brass (US4). Because the inside knob or lever is a separate required choice from the full Emtek brass range, you can carry one finish across the handleset and the interior trim on the same door.
21) Which entry handlesets pair with a knob inside rather than a lever, like the Emtek EMP4212 Melrose can?
The Emtek EMP4212 Melrose takes any brass knob or lever for the inside trim, so knob interiors such as the Ace Knob, Round Knob, or Victoria Knob are ordered on the same set. Among the alternatives that come as fixed knob combinations, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with the Alcott knob and with the Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest is a single cylinder handleset supplied with the Hudson knob. Those arrive as a set combination rather than as a selectable interior trim.
