Emtek EMP24217-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an Emtek EMPowered handleset?
Handing is required on the EMP4217 whenever you choose a lever for the interior trim, or if an interconnect device is specified. Right hand and left hand are both offered. If you pick a knob for the inside and no interconnect, handing is not driving the mechanism, but the order form asks for it either way, so measure from the outside: standing on the exterior, the side the hinges sit on tells you the hand.
2) Can I key the Emtek EMP4217 into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are on the table. Standard build is a Schlage C keyway, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available as a substitution with no upcharge, which lets it be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike and keyed different are both offered, and there is a field for keying to a specific code if you are matching a building's existing bitting.
3) What does the EMPowered upgrade actually add to an Emtek handleset?
EMPowered converts the interior side of the handleset to a motorized electronic lock. It runs on 4 AA batteries and talks over Bluetooth through the Yale Access app, so you get phone unlock and shared access on the same brass entry set. The exterior keyway stays live as a mechanical override, so a key still opens it if the batteries die. Nothing is hardwired and no separate deadbolt is involved. It is a single cylinder entry function.
4) What do I have to choose before an Emtek EMP4217 handleset can ship complete?
Four choices are mandatory on this one. Pick the interior knob or lever style (there are 89 to choose from, everything from the Ace Knurled Knob and Spoke Knob through the Hercules and Stuttgart levers to crystal knobs like Windsor and Georgetown), the handing, the backset at 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, and the keying arrangement, keyed alike or keyed different. Finish and keyway ride on the item itself: six finishes, each available in Schlage or Weiser. Door thickness is an optional note if your slab is off standard.
5) My door is 2 inches thick. Which entry handlesets will actually cover it?
The Emtek EMP4217 goes to 2-1/4 inches, so a 2 inch slab is inside its range. Most competing residential handlesets are not: the Schlage F60 Addison and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both stop at 1-3/4 inches, and the Kwikset 687 Amador and Belleview are 1-3/4 inch only. If you want a mechanical alternative that reaches 2 inches, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder and the Deltana 810871 Montego both cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial runs 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
6) I want Wi-Fi access to an entry handleset, not just Bluetooth at the door. What should I look at?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled handleset connects over Bluetooth and works with the Yale Access app, which means control at the door rather than from off site. For a Wi-Fi connection, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim is Wi-Fi over the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range. The BYRD256 CBARX pairs with a passage handleset, so the exterior grip does not carry a keyed cylinder the way the single cylinder EMP4217 does.
7) I key my buildings on Kwikset SmartKey. Is the Emtek EMP4217 compatible, and what should I order instead?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled handleset ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard and can be supplied with a Weiser WR5 keyway at no cylinder substitution upcharge, which keys into an existing Weiser system. It does not take SmartKey. For a SmartKey system, the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador and 687BW SMT Belleview single cylinder handlesets are keyed entry with SmartKey, exterior only, and the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador is the SmartKey version with an SC1 keyway. All three are specified for 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek EMP4217 handleset if I want a keypad or touchscreen entry instead of a Bluetooth app lock?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled sectional handleset is a single cylinder entry set with an electronic upgrade that runs on Bluetooth through the Yale Access app, so entry is by key or phone rather than a keypad. If the door needs code entry, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs the handleset with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and a Halifax lever interior, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset. The Kwikset San Clemente is built for a 1-3/4 inch door, while the Emtek EMP4217 covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch.
9) What is a straight mechanical single cylinder handleset alternative to the Emtek EMP4217 for a door that does not need an electronic lock?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled sectional handleset is an electronic single cylinder entry set. For the same entry job without electronics, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 F Series set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors in the Premiere Essentials series, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel is an entry function set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek EMP4217 is solid brass and reaches 2-1/4 inch door thickness, which is past where the Schlage F60 and Pamex FS7P31 stop.
10) The exterior door is 2 inches thick with a heavy weatherstrip buildup. Which handlesets actually cover that thickness?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled handleset fits doors from 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch. Among comparable entry handlesets, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder set rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX and BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts with the Ridgefield handleset both run 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Schlage F60 Addison and Pamex FS7P31 Lexington handlesets stop at 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exterior handlesets are specified at 1-3/4 inch.
11) Which handlesets look like a substitute for the Emtek EMP4217 but will not work on a keyed entry door?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled handleset is a single cylinder entry set, so the exterior grip carries a keyed cylinder. Several comparable handlesets share the look but not the function: the Weslock 6695 Belmont handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function, meaning fixed trim with no latch, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function J Series set. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are supplied exterior only, so the inside trim is not part of the set the way the EMP4217 includes an inside knob or lever choice.
12) I need a double cylinder entry set for a door with glass beside the lock. What is the alternative to the Emtek EMP4217?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled handleset is a single cylinder set, keyed outside with a thumbturn or lever action inside. Where the opening calls for a key on both sides, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the double cylinder counterpart and is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door; the same Estates 6542 Tremont trim is also offered in a single cylinder entry version. Both Baldwin 6542 sets are mortise trim rather than a tubular lock, so the door has to be prepped for a mortise case instead of the 2-1/8 inch cross bore the EMP4217 uses.
13) What comes in the box with the Emtek EMP4217, and what else do I need to buy?
Sold as a complete set: exterior Hercules knurled sectional handle, the interior trim you select, latch, and strike plate. The latch shipped is the 2-3/8 inch backset unless you specify 2-3/4 inch. You supply 4 AA batteries for the electronic side. No separate deadbolt or cylinder purchase is needed, since it is a single cylinder entry function with the keyway built in.
14) Can I match the Emtek EMPowered handleset to the other doors in the house without putting a smart lock on every one?
Yes, and that is the usual way it gets specified. Because the EMP4217 uses the standard 2-1/8 inch bore, 5-1/2 inch center-to-center sectional prep and the same Emtek brass trim catalogue as the mechanical sets, you can run the electronic version on the front door and mechanical Emtek knobs or levers in the same style and finish everywhere else. Six finishes are offered: Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26 and Satin Brass US4. Order the whole house keyed alike so one key runs the mechanical doors.
15) What is a sectional handleset and how is it different from a mortise entry set?
A sectional handleset like the Hercules Knurled uses two separate bored holes in the door, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore for the handle mechanism and a second bore 5-1/2 inches away, rather than one long pocket routed into the door edge. That makes it a retrofit into a standard drilled residential door with no mortising. A mortise entry trim such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont needs a mortise pocket and is spec'd for 1-3/4 inch doors. If your door already has a mortise lock body in it, the tubular set is not a drop-in swap.
16) Does the Emtek EMP4217 lock from the inside with a key too?
No. It is a single cylinder function, so the key cylinder is on the exterior only and the inside is thumbturn or knob-operated, plus the EMPowered motor. If you need key operation from both sides, that is a double cylinder set, such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim. Double cylinder changes the egress picture, so check your local code before putting one on a residence.
17) What solid brass entry handlesets compare to the Emtek EMP4217 for a traditional door?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled sectional handleset is brass with a contemporary look. On the traditional side, Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset is another brass grip set and is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Deltana sets are mechanical, while the EMP4217 adds the EMPowered electronic upgrade with Bluetooth and 4 AA batteries.
18) Is an interconnected lock a substitute for the Emtek EMP4217 handleset?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled set is a single cylinder entry handleset with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and handing must be specified if an interconnect device is ordered. A separate interconnected option is the Schlage Residential JI18/19, an interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2 in the JI Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage JI18/19 is a lever and deadbolt pairing rather than a grip handleset, so the exterior appearance and the door prep are not the same.
19) Can I get a handleset with a matching interior knob the way the Emtek EMP4217 lets me pick the inside trim?
The Emtek EMP4217 Hercules Knurled handleset can be ordered with any brass knob or lever for the inside trim, and handing is required if a lever is used inside. Among comparable sets that come as a fixed handleset and knob pairing, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with the Alcott knob and with the Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset comes with the Hudson knob. With the Baldwin Wesley and Weslock 2810, the interior trim is set by the part number; the EMP4217 leaves that as a selection.
20) I want the Emtek Hercules look but no electronics. What are my options?
The EMP4217 is the EMPowered electronic version, so if you want the same brass tubular sectional entry set purely mechanical you want the non-EMPowered Emtek equivalent, ordered in the same finish and the same interior trim. If you are open on style, mechanical single cylinder handlesets in the same tubular family include the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob at 1-3/8 to 2 inches and the Deltana 810871 Montego over the same range, both solid brass constructions in the Deltana case.
