Emtek EMTEK-EMP4214 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door applications is the Hercules Smooth Sectional Entrance Handleset designed for?
This entrance handleset is designed for residential and light commercial exterior doors. It works on wood, steel, and fiberglass doors with standard 2-1/8" cross bore preparation. Verify door thickness is between 1-3/8" and 2-1/4".
2) How do I determine the correct handing for this handleset?
Stand outside the door looking at the hinges. If hinges are on the right, order right-handed. If hinges are on the left, order left-handed. The thumb turn on the interior side will be positioned accordingly for proper operation.
3) What finish options are available for the Hercules handleset series?
The Hercules series typically offers multiple finishes including polished brass, satin brass, oil rubbed bronze, and satin nickel. Check specific model availability as finish options may vary by configuration.
4) What security grade does this entrance handleset provide?
Emtek handlesets typically meet ANSI Grade 3 standards for residential use. The single cylinder deadbolt provides keyed entry from outside and thumb turn operation from inside for emergency egress.
5) Does this handleset meet building code requirements?
The thumb turn interior operation meets egress code requirements for residential applications. For commercial installations, verify local ADA and fire code compliance. Some jurisdictions may require specific hardware configurations.
6) What keying options are available with this handleset?
Standard keying includes 5-pin tumbler cylinder with two keys. Keyed alike, keyed different, and master key systems are typically available. Consult with locksmith for complex keying requirements on multiple units.
7) What door preparation is required for installation?
Standard preparation requires 2-1/8" cross bore hole and 1" edge bore hole. Deadbolt requires separate 2-1/8" cross bore typically positioned 5-1/2" above handle center. Use manufacturer template for precise measurements.
8) How do I maintain the smooth brass finish?
Clean with mild soap and water using soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals. Apply paste wax occasionally to maintain luster. Brass will develop natural patina over time in exterior applications.
9) Can the cylinder be rekeyed to match existing keys?
Yes, qualified locksmiths can rekey the 5-pin cylinder to match existing key systems. Remove cylinder by loosening set screw on interior thumb turn assembly. Professional rekeying ensures proper operation.
10) What related Emtek handleset models should I consider?
Consider other Emtek handleset configurations including double cylinder versions for doors with glass panels, or tubular handle options with different lever styles for consistent hardware throughout the project.
11) How do I adjust the latch if the door doesn't close properly?
Check strike plate alignment first. Latch may need slight filing or strike plate repositioning. Ensure door is square and hinges are properly adjusted. Tubular latch backset should match door preparation specification.
