Emtek EMP24311-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek EMPowered Orleans handleset fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The EMP4311 Orleans handleset covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch door is well inside range. That upper limit is wider than most residential handlesets, which is useful on thick custom or double-panel entry doors. Door prep is the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the bore and the deadbolt.
2) Can I key the Orleans EMPowered handleset into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are offered. Schlage C is the standard cylinder, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available as an option at no upcharge, which lets it key into an existing Weiser system. Keying is free either way: order keyed different or keyed alike across multiple sets, and you can supply a specific key code if you are matching an existing system.
3) Do I need to know the handing before ordering this Emtek entrance handleset?
Handing is required on the order. Right hand or left hand must be specified, and it matters whenever a lever is used for the inside trim or an interconnect device is specified. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand. Get it wrong with a lever inside and the lever points the wrong way.
4) What backset does the latch come with, and can I get 2-3/4 inch?
Standard latch is 2-3/8 inch backset. A 2-3/4 inch backset is available and must be specified when you order. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you commit; 2-3/8 is typical on residential doors and 2-3/4 shows up on heavier or commercial-style slabs.
5) Is the interior knob or lever included with the Emtek EMP4311, or do I buy it separately?
It's included, but you pick it. The Orleans handleset ships as a complete set with latch and strike plate, and the inside trim is chosen from Emtek's brass knob and lever range, everything from Stuttgart and Helios levers to Windsor and Bristol crystal knobs and the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar bar knobs. Any brass knob or lever can be paired with it. Remember that choosing a lever inside makes handing critical.
6) Will this drop into an existing door prep or do I need to re-bore?
If the door already has a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with the deadbolt bore 5-1/2 inches center-to-center from it, the Orleans handleset uses that same prep. Confirm your existing backset first, since the set ships with a 2-3/8 inch latch unless you specify 2-3/4 inch, and confirm slab thickness falls between 1-3/8 and 2-1/4 inches.
7) What is a comparable keyless smart entry handleset if the Emtek Orleans EMPowered does not fit my door?
The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans is a single cylinder entrance handleset with an electronic EMPowered drive that runs on 4 AA batteries, connects over Bluetooth to the Yale Access App, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. If you need an electronic entry set for a thicker or non-standard door, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale BYRD226NRRX is the standalone version of the same Ridgefield handleset package with no Wi-Fi radio, for openings where no network connection is wanted.
8) I want a key-free electronic handleset instead of a keyed cylinder - what should I order?
The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans is a single cylinder keyed set, supplied with a Schlage C keyway or, by adding W to the product code, a Weiser WR5 keyway. If you would rather have no key cylinder at all, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim, connected by August, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Yale BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 is also key free with Wi-Fi and the Ridgefield handleset, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
9) What is a simpler mechanical alternative to the Emtek Orleans EMPowered handleset?
If the electronics are not wanted, several purely mechanical single cylinder entry handlesets cover the same opening. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 keyed entry handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder handleset in satin nickel for the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is single cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. All three give you a keyed exterior grip without the battery pack or app that the Emtek EMP4311 EMPowered set uses.
10) My door is 2 inches thick - which handlesets besides the Emtek Orleans will cover it?
The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans EMPowered handleset fits door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Among mechanical sets, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is single cylinder and rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset also spans 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Many of the standard residential sets, such as the Schlage F60 Addison, stop at 1-3/4 inch.
11) Is the Emtek EMP4311 Orleans a mortise handleset, and what should I order if my door is prepped for mortise?
No. The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans is a tubular lock type using a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center handle prep, so it goes into a bored door, not a mortise pocket. For a door already prepped for a mortise lock body, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the relevant family: BAL-6542ENTR is the single cylinder version and BAL-6542DBLC the double cylinder version, both for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) I need an ANSI grade on the handleset for a spec - what grades do the comparable entry handlesets carry?
The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans EMPowered set is classified for residential use. If your submittal calls out a grade, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) What is the difference between the Emtek Orleans EMPowered handleset and the Kwikset 815 San Clemente electronic handleset?
Both are electronic entry handlesets. The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans is a brass tubular single cylinder set with the EMPowered drive, keyed to Schlage C or Weiser WR5, operating over Bluetooth with the Yale Access App on doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente is a Signature Series handleset with a Halifax lever interior and a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt on SmartKey, supplied with RCAL latch and RCS strike for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek is app and key driven, the Kwikset adds a keypad.
14) How does the EMPowered lock operate, and what powers it?
The EMPowered upgrade puts Bluetooth smart-lock guts behind a traditional brass handleset. It runs on 4 AA batteries and pairs with the Yale Access app for phone unlocking and access management, while the keyed Schlage C or Weiser cylinder stays as the mechanical backup if batteries die. Single cylinder function means it's keyed outside with a thumbturn-style inside operation.
15) I want the Orleans look without electronics. Is there a non-smart brass handleset option?
The EMP4311 is specifically the EMPowered electronic upgrade. If you want a straight mechanical solid brass entry handleset, Deltana's brass sets cover that ground: the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are all entry-function solid brass handlesets, and the Deltana 810871 Montego fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Weslock's 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder set handles thicker slabs at 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
16) What handleset should I use on the inactive leaf of a double door rather than the Emtek Orleans EMPowered?
The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans is an entry function set with a keyed single cylinder, which is more hardware than an inactive or false door leaf needs. For a non-latching match, the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob is a dummy handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever is a dummy handleset over the same thickness range. If you want a latching but unkeyed grip, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) Can I order just the exterior handleset trim instead of the full Emtek Orleans set?
The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans is sold as a complete set including the latch and strike plate, with the inside knob or lever chosen at order. If you only need the exterior grip, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is offered exterior only, in a SmartKey version (KWI-687AMD-S) and an SC1 keyway SmartKey version (KWI-687AMD-SMC), both Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 687BW Belleview is the same exterior-only arrangement in the Belleview style.
18) I have to commit to a backset before ordering the Emtek Orleans - is there a handleset that adjusts on site?
The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard, with 2-3/4 inch specified at order, so the backset is fixed when you buy. If you are working from field measurements and want flexibility, the Sure-Loc handlesets with adjustable backset cover that: the Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry, the Alta AT507 tubular handleset, the Madison MA507 keyed entry, and the Coral CR507.
19) What solid brass handlesets compare to the Emtek Orleans if I want the same material in a mechanical set?
The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans is a brass handleset in an American Designer style. For solid brass mechanical entry handlesets, Deltana offers several styles at entry function: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all solid brass. Baldwin's Wesley handleset is also offered at entrance function paired with interior knobs, as the 180WYHXATK with Alcott knob or the 180WYHXCYK with Carnaby knob.
20) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock a substitute for the Emtek Orleans EMPowered handleset?
No, the functions differ. The Emtek EMP4311 Orleans is a single cylinder entry handleset with a keyed exterior grip. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is a Grade 2 interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the lever itself is passage and the security comes from the separate deadbolt. Choose it when the opening calls for lever-and-deadbolt interconnected trim rather than a grip handle.
21) What finishes does the Emtek Orleans EMPowered handleset come in?
Three: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15) and Polished Chrome (US26). Each is available with either the Schlage C or the Weiser WR5 cylinder. If you are matching interior brass trim across a house, pick the inside knob or lever in the same finish code so the front door reads with the rest of the openings.
