Emtek Modern Brass Tubular Two-Point Lockset with Cortina Lever - Single Cylinder

Handing is required on the Cortina lever lockset, and it is built into the part number rather than field-reversible. Left hand and right hand are separate items across the whole finish range, for example 5318CLHUS19 for left hand flat black and 5318CRHUS19 for right hand. Stand at the outside of the door: if the hinges are on your left, it's left hand. Get this wrong and the lever handle points the wrong way.

The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is available at no change to the part number, you just call it out on the order. Those are the two backsets used on residential doors, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole before ordering. If your existing prep is 2-3/4 and you take the default, the latch won't line up with the cross bore.

Schlage C is the standard keyway on the Cortina lockset, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available instead at no upcharge, specified by adding a W to the front of the product code. The Weiser cylinder can be keyed into an existing Weiser system, which is what makes this workable on a house or rental unit that's already on Weiser keys. Two keys come with the lock.

Keyed alike and keyed different are both order options on the Cortina lockset, and keying to a specific code can be requested as well. For a property manager putting the same key on a group of units or a homeowner running one key for front and side doors, order them keyed alike on the same purchase order so they're pinned together. Mixing keyways across the group defeats it, so keep every door on either Schlage C or Weiser WR5, not both.

Do not order the Emtek 5318 for that leaf - it is a keyed entry lockset with a working latch and deadbolt. The Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates, spaced 5-1/2 inch center to center, built as a double dummy. It mounts as trim only with no latch and no bolt, which is what an inactive leaf or a closet door wants while keeping the same sideplate appearance as the keyed units beside it.

Both are single cylinder lever locksets with a deadbolt combined into one sideplate assembly, and both are solid brass. The Emtek 5318 carries the Cortina lever in a contemporary style and is offered with either the Modern Rectangular or Annapolis trim plate, in Left Hand and Right Hand, with the Schlage C keyway standard. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass construction. The practical decision is lever and plate appearance plus keyway system, not function - both give you a keyed lever and a keyed deadbolt operated as one unit.

The Emtek 5318 with the Cortina lever is a single cylinder unit, so it is keyed outside and turned by hand inside. For an opening that has to be keyed from both faces - a door with glass beside it, or an exit that a facility wants locked against egress where local code permits - the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design. Confirm your local code allows a double cylinder on that opening before specifying it.

Ten finishes across both trim styles and both hands: oil rubbed bronze (US10B), polished nickel (US14), satin nickel (US15), pewter (US15A), flat black (US19), polished chrome (US26), lifetime polished brass (US3), unlacquered brass (US3NL), satin brass (US4), and French antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one to know about, it has no clear coat and will darken and patina with handling, which is the point of it. If you need the plate and the lever in two different finishes, split finish can be requested on the order.

A two-point lockset puts the latch and the deadbolt on one interconnected sideplate assembly rather than two separate roses on the door. The Cortina version is a tubular entry function with a keyed single cylinder outside. Practically it means one continuous plate covering both bores instead of two independent trims, so the door reads as one piece of hardware. If you want a separate lever set and a standalone deadbolt with independent trim, this isn't that product.

Both are sideplate shapes for the same Cortina lever and the same two-point mechanism, and both carry the full ten finishes in left and right hand. The Modern Rectangular trim orders under a 5312 part number (5312CRHUS26, for example) and the Annapolis trim under 5318 (5318CRHUS26). Pick by how you want the plate to read on the door face; the lock function and the door prep are the same either way.

This is a residential-duty lockset, solid brass, contemporary styling, made for houses, condos and apartment entry doors. For a high-traffic commercial entrance, an office building or a school corridor, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical or mortise lock is the right call instead. Property managers do use hardware like this on multi-family unit entry doors where the traffic is residential in character.

Omnia makes a close alternative in solid brass: the D12036A is the single cylinder version, the same keyed-outside arrangement as the Cortina single cylinder. If you want a key on both sides, Omnia's D12036AC is the double cylinder sideplate design. The Emtek Cortina is single cylinder only, so a double cylinder requirement points you at the Omnia.

Keying is the part to settle first. The Emtek 5318 with the Cortina lever ships on the Schlage C keyway as standard and can be built on the Weiser WR5 keyway instead by adding a W to the front of the product code, with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, so it drops into an existing Weiser system. The Omnia D12036A and D12036AC are catalogued by function - single cylinder and double cylinder - so match the cylinder and keyway with your locksmith before combining brands on one key system. Appearance will differ regardless, since the Emtek units use the Cortina lever with Modern Rectangular or Annapolis trim.

No, and ordering the wrong one leaves you with a door that will not stay closed. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates at 5-1/2 inch center to center - the lever is fixed, there is no latch, and the door needs a ball catch or roller catch to hold shut. The Emtek 5318 with the Cortina lever is the opposite end of the range: a keyed entry lever with a tubular latch and a deadbolt, handed left or right, with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard and 2-3/4 inch available.

The Emtek 5318 with the Cortina lever is built as a residential unit in solid brass, single cylinder entry function, and is handed left or right for a 1-3/4 inch door as standard. The Omnia D12036A covers the same single cylinder function in solid brass. If the opening is a commercial door on a rated wall or under an ANSI grade requirement, verify the grade and rating against the specification for the opening before committing to any of these solid brass residential-style sideplate sets.

Purely mechanical. The Cortina two-point lockset is a keyed brass lock with a lever, no electronics, no keypad, no motor. If you're specifying a rental turnover package that needs code-based access, this isn't the platform for it.
