Emtek EMP24314-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Wilmington handleset drop into my existing door prep?
If the door already has a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore, the Wilmington set goes in without redrilling. Backset is the thing to confirm: the standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and you have to specify 2-3/4 inch if that's what the door is bored for.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington handleset?
Handing is required when you choose a lever for the inside trim, or when an interconnect device is specified. Right hand and left hand are both offered. If you're putting a knob on the interior and no interconnect, handing is not driving the lock, but the order form asks for it either way, so stand at the outside of the door and note which side the hinges are on.
3) Can I key the Emtek EMPowered Wilmington handleset into my existing Weiser or Schlage keys?
Both keyways are available. Schlage C is the standard cylinder, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder can be substituted at no upcharge so it keys into an existing Weiser system. This is a single cylinder entry set, so it's keyed outside with a thumbturn inside.
4) What does the EMPowered upgrade actually add to the Emtek Wilmington handleset?
EMPowered makes it a motorized electronic lock rather than a strictly mechanical one. It runs on 4 AA batteries and connects over Bluetooth through the Yale Access app, so you get phone unlock and access sharing while keeping a real keyed cylinder as backup. The exterior handle and interior trim are still the same brass Emtek hardware.
5) Is the Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington a mortise lock or a tubular lock?
Tubular. It uses the standard 2-1/8 inch bored prep with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing, not a mortise pocket routed into the door edge. If your door is already prepped for a mortise case, this set will not go in without new door prep, and you'd want a mortise entrance handleset instead.
6) What is the closest Bluetooth smart handleset alternative to the Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington if the door is thicker than standard?
The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is an electronic single cylinder entry handleset that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and runs on Bluetooth with the Yale Access app. If you want a comparable smart handleset in the same thickness territory, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset and lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Yale unit adds Wi-Fi alongside Bluetooth, while the Emtek is a brass handleset body with a keyed Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder and your choice of interior knob or lever trim.
7) I want the Wilmington handleset look but without any electronics - what else should I look at?
The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is built around the EMPowered electronic platform, so if you want a purely mechanical single cylinder entry handleset in solid brass, the Deltana 803871B Hanover and the Deltana 825871 Kingston are both solid brass entry handlesets. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is another single cylinder keyed entry handleset and covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. None of those carry the Bluetooth keypad function the Emtek does, so keyed access is the only method of entry.
8) What handleset should I spec instead of the Emtek EMP4314 for a rental unit where I need a stated ANSI grade?
The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is a residential-rated brass handleset. If your spec calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are mechanical sets - none of them provide the Bluetooth app access the Emtek carries.
9) How does the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente compare to the Emtek EMP4314 as an electronic handleset?
Both are electronic entry handlesets, but they are built differently. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente is a Signature Series handleset with a Halifax lever and a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey cylinder, RCAL latch and RCS strike, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is a brass tubular handleset on the EMPowered platform using Bluetooth with the Yale Access app, running on 4 AA batteries, with a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder and a door range of 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Kwikset is keypad-driven at the deadbolt; the Emtek is app and Bluetooth based and lets you pick from the full Emtek brass knob and lever range for the interior trim.
10) My opening is a mortise prep, not a 2-1/8 inch bore - is the Emtek EMP4314 right?
No. The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is a tubular handleset with a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep. For a mortise-prepped door, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is the fit - it comes as single cylinder (BAL-6542ENTR) or double cylinder (BAL-6542DBLC), both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are mortise trim sets and require the corresponding mortise pocket in the door edge.
11) What comes in the box with the Emtek EMP4314 handleset, and what do I still need to order?
It ships as a complete set including the latch and strike plate. What you have to choose on the order is the interior knob or lever style (required, and any Emtek brass knob or lever will mate to it), the handing, the backset, the finish, the keyway, and whether you want it keyed alike or keyed different. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a prepped door.
12) I need a smart handleset for a 2-1/4 inch thick door. What are my options besides the Emtek EMPowered?
The Wilmington EMPowered handles up to 2-1/4 inch. If you want a touchscreen keypad instead of a Bluetooth-only motorized lock, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock BYRD226CBARX with the Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch and adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone version of the same trim without the network radio. The Emtek is the one to pick if you want solid brass decorative trim and a conventional Schlage or Weiser key.
13) Is the Emtek Wilmington EMPowered handleset suitable for a commercial entrance?
It's a residential-duty handleset in solid brass, built for entry doors on homes and multi-family units rather than commercial traffic. For a commercial opening you'd be looking at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 bored or mortise lockset instead. If you just need a keyed residential handleset without the electronics, the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 option covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) Can I order several Emtek Wilmington handlesets on one key?
Yes. Keyed alike is offered as a keying option at no charge, which is what you want when one key needs to run the front, back, and side entries of the same property. Keyed different is the alternative if each door gets its own key. You can also key to an existing code, and with the Weiser WR5 cylinder the set can be brought into a system that's already in place.
15) Is there a key-free smart handleset instead of the keyed Emtek EMP4314?
The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is a single cylinder keyed entry set - it ships with a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder. If you would rather have no cylinder in the door at all, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure Key Free touchscreen deadbolt comes with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim and fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. That configuration is opened by code or app only, so there is no mechanical key override and no keying to an existing system, which the Emtek supports through Weiser WR5 for buyers already on a Weiser keyway.
16) Which handlesets look like the Emtek EMP4314 but will not actually lock the door?
Watch for dummy handlesets. The Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever are both dummy function - they mount as trim only and have no latch or cylinder. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function. The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is a single cylinder keyed entry set sold complete with latch and strike plate, so if you are replacing an operating entry door lock, the dummy sets are not a substitute.
17) I am not sure of my backset - is there a handleset that covers both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 without specifying?
The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard and you specify 2-3/4 inch at the time of order. If you would rather not commit, the Sure-Loc handlesets use an adjustable backset - the Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry, the Alta AT507 tubular, the Coral CR507 and the Madison MA507 keyed entry are all adjustable-backset handlesets. Those are mechanical sets, so they do not carry the Bluetooth entry function the Emtek does.
18) Is the Kwikset 687 Amador a direct replacement for the Emtek EMP4314?
Not a direct one. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is sold as exterior trim only - a Grade 3 single cylinder keyed handleset for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered with SmartKey (KWI-687AMD-S) or an SC1 keyway SmartKey version (KWI-687AMD-SMC). The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is a complete set including latch and strike, with the interior knob or lever selected from the Emtek brass range, and it is an EMPowered electronic unit for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. If you already have interior trim you are keeping, the exterior-only Kwikset is the closer match to that need.
19) What is a simpler brass entry handleset if I do not need the app control of the Emtek EMP4314?
The Deltana 815871 St. Ann and Deltana 803871B Hanover are solid brass entry handlesets, and the Deltana 810871 Montego covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder handleset in satin nickel for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All are straightforward keyed sets with no batteries or connectivity, where the Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington runs on 4 AA batteries and connects by Bluetooth to the Yale Access app.
20) I need a smart lock on a thick entry door but do not want Wi-Fi on the network - what is the alternative to the Emtek EMP4314?
The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington uses Bluetooth with the Yale Access app and no Wi-Fi radio of its own, fitting doors up to 2-1/4 inch. If you want a standalone electronic set with no cloud connection at all, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset, listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. That one is operated at the keypad rather than by phone, which is the trade against the Emtek's app control.
21) Is a handleset with interconnected deadbolt a substitute for the Emtek EMP4314?
They solve different problems. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the lever is passage function and security comes from the separate deadbolt. The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is a single cylinder entry handleset where the locking is in the set itself, and Emtek does require handing to be specified if a lever is used on the inside or an interconnect device is called out.
22) What traditional-style handleset with knob interior trim compares to the Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington?
The Emtek EMP4314 Wilmington is an American Classic style brass handleset and can be ordered with knob interior trim such as the Providence, Waverly or Victoria knob. Comparable knob-trim handlesets include the Baldwin Wesley handleset paired with the Alcott knob (BAL-180WYHXATK) or the Carnaby knob (BAL-180WYHXCYK), both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder with Hudson knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Baldwin and Weslock sets are mechanical; the Emtek adds the EMPowered electronic function.
