Emtek EMP8821-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Wilshire 5-1/2 inch keyed sideplate lockset fit my door prep?
The Wilshire sideplate set drops into one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and works on doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The two holes for the sideplate are 5-1/2 inches center to center, so if your existing plate is a different C-to-C you will have new screw holes in the door face. Latch backset is adjustable, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, and the latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in the door edge.
2) What do I have to specify when ordering the Emtek EMP8821 sideplate lockset?
Five things get picked at order time: finish, the inside knob or lever style, handing (right hand or left hand), backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches), and keying. Handing is required on this set, so measure at the door before you order. Keying is either keyed different or keyed alike, and there is a field for keying to an existing code if you are matching a key already in the building. Door thickness can also be entered if yours is not the standard 1-3/4 inches.
3) Can I key the Emtek Wilshire sideplate entry set to the keys I already have?
Yes. It is a single cylinder keyed entry set, and keying is specified at order time: keyed different, keyed alike across multiple sets, or keyed to an existing code if you want it to run on the key already cut for the building. For a property manager standardizing several doors, keyed alike across the order is the option to pick.
4) Is the Emtek EMP8821 rated for a commercial opening or is it residential hardware?
Residential. The Wilshire sideplate set is a solid brass tubular entry lockset built for houses, condos and light multi-family units, not for a high traffic commercial door. If you are specifying for an office entry or a school corridor, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lockset instead.
5) Does the Emtek sideplate lockset include a deadbolt?
No. The 8821 Wilshire is a keyed sideplate lockset, so the key operates the latch itself, not a separate deadbolt. The sideplate above the knob is a decorative plate, not a bolt. If you want a keyed bolt behind a matching sideplate, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, and the D12036AC is the double cylinder version for a door with glass beside it.
6) My old lock has a 2-3/4 inch backset. Will this Emtek set still work?
Yes. The latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 inch or a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the backset is picked when you order. The standard shipped latch is 2-3/8 inch, so specify 2-3/4 inch if that is what your bore measures. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch cross bore to confirm which one you have.
7) What do I put on an inactive or closet door to match a keyed sideplate lockset?
An inactive leaf does not need a working latch. The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center, which is the same 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing the Emtek EMP8821 Wilshire keyed sideplate uses, so the trim lines up across a pair of doors. The Emtek EMP8821 is a keyed entry lockset and does latch.
8) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek EMP8821 Wilshire sideplate lockset if I want a mechanical lock instead of an electronic one?
The Emtek EMP8821 Wilshire is an electronic, single cylinder keyed entry sideplate lockset in brass. If you want a straight mechanical single cylinder lock on a sideplate, the Omnia D12036A single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset is solid brass construction and functions as a single cylinder lock. The difference is how it is operated on the outside: the Emtek EMP8821 is electronic, while the Omnia D12036A is keyed only.
9) I need a double cylinder lock on a glass panel door, not a single cylinder - what should I use instead of the Emtek EMP8821?
The Emtek EMP8821 Wilshire sideplate lockset is single cylinder, so it is not the one for an opening that requires key operation from both sides. The Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design, which is the configuration used when a door has glass within reach of the inside turn.
10) Is the Emtek sideplate lockset one piece or do I need to buy the knob separately?
It ships as a complete set: the knob or lever, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to order to hang it. The inside trim is chosen from Emtek's brass knob and lever range at order time, so a Norwich knob, a Milano lever, a crystal knob and so on all mount to the same 8821 sideplate.
11) Do I need to order handing for the Emtek Wilshire sideplate set if I am using a knob?
Handing is called out as required on this set, and it matters for a leverset in particular, since a lever has to point toward the strike side. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand. Get it wrong on a lever and the handle points the wrong way.
12) Can I standardize a whole house on one sideplate look with entry, double cylinder and dummy doors?
Yes, by function. The Emtek EMP8821 Wilshire covers the keyed entry doors as a single cylinder brass tubular set at 5-1/2 inch center to center. For a door needing key operation both sides, the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder solid brass sideplate lockset, and for inactive or closet leaves the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy at 5-1/2 inch center to center. The Emtek and Omnia sets are different brands, so lever and knob styles and finish names differ between them.
