Emtek EMP24812-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What do I have to specify when ordering an Emtek EMP4812 handleset?
Five things beyond finish. Interior trim (a knob or lever from the Emtek brass range, required, from Arts & Crafts Lever to Stuttgart Lever to crystal knobs), handing (right or left), backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch), keying (keyed different or keyed alike), and keyway (Schlage C standard or Weiser WR5). Keying to an existing code can be entered as free text on the order. Handing is required on this one because the EMPowered interior is a handed assembly.
2) Can the Emtek EMPowered handleset be keyed into my existing Weiser house keys?
Yes. Order the Weiser WR5 keyway version and it keys into an existing Weiser system with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution. Default build is Schlage C keyway, which is the one to pick if the rest of the property is on Schlage keys. Both keyways are offered in all four finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, and Polished Chrome US26.
3) Does the Emtek EMP4812 need a new door prep or does it drop into my existing bore?
It uses standard prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore with 5-1/2 inch center-to-center between the handle bore and the deadbolt bore. That is the common tubular handleset spacing, so a door already prepped for a 5-1/2 inch CTC handleset takes it without redrilling. Check the existing backset first, standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch has to be specified.
4) Is the Emtek EMPowered handleset a keypad lock or does it still use a key?
Both. It is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with an electronic EMPowered interior that runs on Bluetooth through the Yale Access app, powered by four AA batteries. You still get a mechanical key cylinder on the outside, so a dead battery does not lock you out. There is no exterior keypad, entry is by app or by key.
5) I need a smart entry handleset for a 2-1/4 inch thick door, what are my options besides Emtek?
Thick doors narrow the field fast. The Emtek EMP4812 EMPowered goes to 2-1/4 inch. Among other brands we carry, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch, and the Assure Lock 2 key-free BYRD410BLERX with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. The Yale sets are touchscreen keypad deadbolts; the Emtek keeps a traditional keyed cylinder with app control, which is the difference that usually decides it.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek EMP4812 handleset if the door is 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick and I want an electronic touchscreen deadbolt?
The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset and covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Emtek EMP4812 is a single cylinder entrance handleset in the EMPowered series with Bluetooth connectivity through the Yale Access app, fitting doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Yale BYRD226NRRX is the standalone version of the same Ridgefield handleset and touchscreen deadbolt without the network connectivity, over the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thickness range.
7) Which key-free electronic handleset works instead of the Emtek EMP4812 when residents should not carry a key at all?
The Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure Key Free touchscreen deadbolt comes with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim, runs on Wi-Fi, and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Yale BYRD410BLERX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Emtek EMP4812 is a keyed single cylinder set with a Schlage C keyway and an optional Weiser WR5 cylinder, so it keeps a mechanical key override on the exterior.
8) What is a simpler mechanical handleset to use in place of the Emtek EMP4812 when no electronics are wanted?
The Emtek EMP4812 is an electronic entry handleset in the EMPowered series with a Bluetooth module and 4 AA batteries. For a purely mechanical opening, 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, and the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador single cylinder keyed handleset is a Grade 3 entrance set for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied as exterior trim only. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset is another entry-function mechanical set, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) I need a keypad handleset on a 1-3/4 inch door. How does the Kwikset San Clemente compare with the Emtek EMP4812?
The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset carries a Halifax lever interior trim and a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt with SmartKey, ships with an RCAL latch and RCS strike, is a Signature Series set, and is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door. Access is by keypad code at the door. The Emtek EMP4812 is a brass tubular single cylinder entrance handleset in the EMPowered series that operates over Bluetooth with the Yale Access app and fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, with a Schlage C keyway as standard.
10) What should I order instead of the Emtek EMP4812 if the door is prepped for a mortise lock rather than a tubular bore?
The Emtek EMP4812 is a tubular lock with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep. For a mortise pocket, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is an entrance-function mortise set for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is the same trim with a keyed interior cylinder, also for a 1-3/4 inch door. Mortise trim will not drop into a tubular bore, so the door prep decides which family applies.
11) Which handlesets look like substitutes for the Emtek EMP4812 but will not lock the door?
The Weslock 6695 Belmont handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function set. A dummy handleset is surface-mounted trim with no latch operation, so none of them replaces the Emtek EMP4812, which is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest handleset with Hudson knob is the single cylinder version in the Premiere Essentials line, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
12) Which alternative to the Emtek EMP4812 keys into an existing Kwikset SmartKey or Schlage SC1 system?
The Emtek EMP4812 ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard and can be built with a Weiser WR5 cylinder, which keys into an existing Weiser system at no cylinder upcharge. To match a SmartKey system instead, the Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador single cylinder handleset uses SmartKey, and the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador uses an SC1 keyway with SmartKey; both are Grade 3 entrance sets for a 1-3/4 inch door, supplied as exterior trim only. The Kwikset 687BW SMT Belleview is the same SmartKey arrangement in the Belleview style.
13) What comes in the box with the Emtek EMP4812 handleset?
Complete set: exterior full length Arts and Crafts handle, the interior knob or lever you specify, latch, and strike plate. Nothing to source separately for the lock itself. The EMPowered electronic interior takes four AA batteries.
14) What is a cheaper non-electronic alternative to the Emtek Arts and Crafts entry handleset?
If the app control is not needed, mechanical single cylinder entry handlesets we carry include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever, a Grade 2 set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington in satin nickel, also 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker door the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch. None of the three is electronic, and none matches the Emtek brass Arts and Crafts styling.
15) Can I match the Emtek EMP4812 handleset to the interior door hardware already in the house?
Interior trim is your choice from the full Emtek brass knob and lever range, so the entry door can be specified with the same lever or knob style running on the interior doors. Options run from period styles like Arts and Crafts and Ribbon and Reed through contemporary L-Bar, T-Bar and R-Bar in faceted, hammered, knurled and white marble, plus crystal knobs. Finish choices are Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Flat Black and Polished Chrome.
16) Is the Emtek EMPowered handleset rated for a commercial building or apartment entry doors?
Residential. The EMP4812 is built as a residential entry set, brass tubular construction with a single cylinder keyed function. For multi-family and commercial openings that need a graded lock, look at graded handlesets such as the Master Lock HDLB Series Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset or the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, which is Grade 2.
17) I am doing several units, can Emtek EMP4812 handlesets be keyed alike?
Yes, keyed alike is a no-charge option on the order, and so is keying to a specific code if the property already runs a key system. Schlage C is the standard keyway; specify Weiser WR5 instead if the buildings are on Weiser. Keyed different is the other choice when each unit needs its own key.
18) Why does Emtek ask for handing on the EMP4812 when other handlesets do not?
Handing is required whenever a lever is used on the inside or an interconnect device is specified, because a lever has to swing down toward the door edge correctly. The EMPowered interior is an electronic assembly, so the hand has to be right the first time. Stand outside the door: hinges on the right is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand.
19) Is a solid brass alternative to the Emtek EMP4812 available for a traditional entry door?
The Emtek EMP4812 is a brass handleset in an Arts and Crafts style with an electronic EMPowered upgrade. In solid brass without electronics, the Deltana 803871B Hanover handleset, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann handleset, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston handleset are all entry-function solid brass handlesets, each its own series. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset is a further solid brass option covering doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
20) What can I use instead of the Emtek EMP4812 on a door that needs an interconnected latch and deadbolt with a lever?
The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock combines a passage latch with a keyed deadbolt and a Torino lever in satin stainless steel, in the JI Series, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek EMP4812 is a single cylinder entrance handleset with a full length exterior plate, and handing must be specified when an interconnect device or an inside lever is chosen.
21) Which entry handleset covers a thicker door than the Emtek EMP4812 range tops out at?
The Emtek EMP4812 fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry set in the Traditionale series covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so it starts where thicker slabs begin and reaches the same 2-1/4 inch maximum. The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
22) How do the Baldwin Wesley handlesets differ from the Emtek EMP4812 for a knob interior?
The Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered as an entrance set paired with an Alcott knob or with a Carnaby knob, so the interior knob is chosen as part of the ordered set. The Emtek EMP4812 is an entrance handleset that takes any Emtek brass knob or lever as the inside trim, in Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, or Polished Chrome US26, and it is sold complete with latch and strike plate.
