Emtek EMP24816-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek EMP4816 Orion handleset fit a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
Yes. The Orion EMPowered handleset covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors, so it works on standard 1-3/4 inch entry doors and on the thicker solid or insulated slabs that stop most residential handlesets. Door prep is the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center between the bore and the deadbolt bore.
2) What do I have to specify when ordering an Emtek EMP4816 Orion handleset?
Five things get chosen at order time on the Orion: the interior knob or lever style (required, and there are over eighty to pick from, including Stuttgart and Helios levers, the Ace knob, and the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families), handing (right or left), backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch), keying (keyed different or keyed alike, with an optional key code), and the exterior finish. Keyway is Schlage C as standard or Weiser WR5 at no upcharge. The set ships complete with latch and strike plate.
3) Do I need to know the handing of my door to order an Emtek Orion entrance handleset?
Handing is required whenever a lever is used on the inside trim, or when an interconnect device is specified. If you are pairing the Orion exterior with a knob and no interconnect, handing is not driving the latch. Determine it from outside the door: hinges on the right is right hand.
4) Can the Emtek EMPowered handleset be keyed into my existing Weiser or Schlage keys?
Both. The Orion ships on a Schlage C keyway as standard, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available instead at no upcharge, so it can drop into an existing Weiser system. Keying to code is offered on the order, along with keyed alike if you are doing several openings on one key.
5) Is the Emtek Orion EMPowered lock a smart lock, and does it need a hub?
It is a Bluetooth lock that runs on the Yale Access app and takes 4 AA batteries. Bluetooth means phone-range control at the door, not remote access from off site. If you want Wi-Fi out of the box, look at the Yale Real Living Assure line instead, such as the BYRD226CBARX touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset, listed as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
6) My existing door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset. Will the Emtek Orion handleset work?
Yes, but you have to say so. The standard latch shipped with the Orion is a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is a specified option on the order. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch cross bore before you commit.
7) What is a comparable smart handleset to the Emtek EMP4816 Orion if I want a touchscreen keypad instead of a Bluetooth app lock?
The Emtek EMP4816 Orion is a single cylinder entrance handleset with an electronic upgrade that runs over Bluetooth and the Yale Access app, so entry is by key or phone rather than a keypad. If the opening needs a code punched at the door, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door and works as a standalone lock, and the BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Both put the credential on the exterior escutcheon; the Orion keeps a keyed cylinder and moves the electronics to the app.
8) I want a key-free smart entry handleset instead of a keyed one - what should I look at?
The Emtek EMP4816 Orion is keyed, single cylinder, with a Schlage C keyway standard and a Weiser WR5 option. For a key-free opening, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim runs on Wi-Fi and fits a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door, and the BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those two have no cylinder to key, so they cannot be brought into an existing Schlage or Weiser master key system the way the Orion can.
9) Is there a Grade 2 alternative to the Emtek EMP4816 for a rental unit front door?
The Emtek EMP4816 Orion is a residential brass handleset with an electronic upgrade. Where a stated grade is what the spec calls for, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 on a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 as well. Both are mechanical keyed sets, so a fleet of units keys alike through the cylinder rather than through an app.
10) My door is thicker than standard - which entry handlesets cover a 2-1/4 inch door?
The Emtek EMP4816 Orion with the EMPowered upgrade fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Among other entry handlesets, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob, single cylinder, covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Sets like the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset stop at 1-3/4 inch, so a thick door rules them out.
11) Which handlesets look like a substitute for the Emtek EMP4816 but will not lock the door?
The EMP4816 Orion is an entry function set with a keyed single cylinder. Several handlesets that resemble it are non-locking and will not serve a front door: the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is non-keyed entry. Check the function before swapping one in for the Orion.
12) Should I buy an electronic handleset like the Emtek Orion or a plain keyed entry handleset?
The Orion is a brass tubular entry handleset with the EMPowered electronic upgrade built in, so one assembly gives you both the exterior grip and app control. If you do not want electronics on the door, the same job is done by a straight keyed handleset such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever (1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, Grade 2) or the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial, which covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Neither carries any electronic function.
13) What is the difference between a single cylinder and a double cylinder entrance handleset?
Single cylinder, which is what the Emtek Orion EMP4816 is, means a key cylinder outside and a thumbturn or lever release inside. Double cylinder takes a key on both faces, used where glass sits close enough to the lock that someone could reach the inside turn. Baldwin's Estates 6542 Tremont trim is sold both ways, single cylinder and double cylinder, if the opening calls for keyed-both-sides.
14) Is the Emtek EMP4816 handleset suitable for a commercial entrance?
It is a residential-duty product. The Orion is a tubular brass entry handleset built for a house or a unit door, not for a high-traffic commercial opening. For multi-family or light commercial where you want a graded lock, the comparable set includes Grade 2 handlesets such as the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison.
15) Can I mix and match the interior knob or lever on the Emtek Orion handleset?
Yes, and it is a required choice on the order. Any Emtek brass knob or lever can go on the inside trim, spanning contemporary shapes like the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families and the Conical knobs, traditional levers like Cortina, Milano and Turino, and crystal knobs including Bristol, Windsor and Georgetown. Remember that choosing a lever inside means you have to give handing with the order.
16) What is the closest mechanical equivalent to the Emtek Orion EMP4816 handleset if I do not need the electronics?
The Orion EMP4816 is a solid brass tubular single cylinder entry handleset with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center door prep. For a straight mechanical entry handleset in solid brass, the Deltana 803871B Hanover, Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and Deltana 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry handlesets, and the Deltana 810871 Montego covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door. All four are key-and-thumbpiece only, with no app or battery to maintain.
17) What is the difference between the Emtek EMP4816 and a Kwikset handleset with an electronic deadbolt?
On the Orion EMP4816 the electronics are built into the handleset itself as the EMPowered upgrade, keyed single cylinder with a Schlage C keyway and Bluetooth through the Yale Access app. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever interior trim pairs the handleset with a separate contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, includes the RCAL latch and RCS strike, and fits a 1-3/4 inch door. The Kwikset uses SmartKey cylinders; the Emtek uses Schlage C or, on request, Weiser WR5.
18) Can I use a Kwikset 687 Amador in place of an Emtek EMP4816 Orion?
Not as a like-for-like set. The Emtek EMP4816 Orion is sold complete, with latch, strike plate, and an inside knob or lever of your choosing. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset, in both the SmartKey version and the SC1 keyway SmartKey version, is exterior trim only at Grade 3 on a 1-3/4 inch door, so interior trim has to be ordered separately. Baldwin's Wesley handleset is offered as a matched pair instead, either with the Alcott knob or the Carnaby knob, both entrance function.
19) What can I use instead of the Emtek Orion handleset if the opening needs an interconnected lock and deadbolt?
The Emtek EMP4816 Orion is a tubular entry handleset with a single cylinder; handing has to be specified if an interconnect device is called for. Where the opening needs a lever and deadbolt that retract together, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel is Grade 2, passage function on the lever with a keyed deadbolt above, fitting a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door.
20) Is there a simpler single cylinder handleset than the Emtek EMP4816 for a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door?
Yes. The Orion EMP4816 carries a battery-powered EMPowered upgrade on four AA cells. For a plain keyed opening on a standard door, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Neither takes batteries or pairs to a phone; both are key in, thumbturn out.
21) If I want the Yale Access app but a different handleset design than the Orion, what else uses it?
The Emtek EMP4816 Orion is a contemporary brass handleset whose EMPowered upgrade connects by Bluetooth and works with the Yale Access app. The Yale Real Living Assure family reaches the same ecosystem in a deadbolt-plus-handleset format: the BYRD226CBARX with Ridgefield handleset adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free with Ridgefield passage handleset is connected by August on Wi-Fi. Both fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and their trim is the Ridgefield style rather than a brass tubular handleset.
22) What finishes does the Emtek Orion EMPowered handleset come in?
Six finishes, and every one of them is available on either keyway: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26) and Satin Brass (US4). All are on solid brass, so if you are matching hinges or other Emtek trim already on the building, match by the US number rather than by the finish name.
