Emtek 5312-HLO-RH-US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Emtek 5312 Helios lever two-point lockset?
Handing is required on the Helios lever, so you order it left hand or right hand and there is no reversible option. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's a left hand door, hinges on the right is right hand. Both hands are stocked in all seven finishes, Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). Order the wrong hand and the lever points the wrong way on the door.
2) Will the Emtek 5312 Helios lockset fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and what if my door is thicker?
Standard build is for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the usual exterior thickness. Thicker doors are handled at order time, there is a Door Thickness field on the order where you enter the actual thickness and Emtek supplies the longer spindle and screws for it. Measure the door edge before you order rather than assuming.
3) What backset does the Emtek Helios two-point lockset come with, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
The latch ships 2-3/8 inch backset unless you say otherwise, and 2-3/4 inch is a no-cost swap you select when ordering. Backset is the distance from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. On a replacement job, measure the existing bore before ordering, older residential doors are commonly 2-3/8 and doors originally prepped for commercial hardware are usually 2-3/4.
4) Can I key the Emtek Helios entry lockset into my existing Weiser or Kwikset keys?
Weiser (WR5) keyway is available as a cylinder substitution at no upcharge, so the lockset can be keyed into an existing Weiser system on the same key. Schlage C is the standard keyway if you don't ask for the swap. Pick the keyway on the order, and if you already know your key code you can have it cut to that code. Two keys come with the lock.
5) I'm doing several doors, can Emtek 5312 Helios locksets all be keyed alike?
Keyed alike is a free option, so a run of doors can be set up on one key instead of a ring of different keys. Keyed different is the other choice, and there is a keying-to-code field if you need them cut to a code you already have in the building. This is the setup for a landlord or property manager standardizing a set of units or a house where the front, side and back doors should share a key.
6) Single cylinder or double cylinder for a front door with glass next to it?
The Emtek 5312 Helios set is single cylinder: keyed from outside, thumbturn inside. That is the right choice for egress, anyone inside gets out without hunting for a key. Where there's glass within arm's reach of the deadbolt and your local code allows it, some buyers go double cylinder so the deadbolt can't be reached through a broken pane; for that the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass. Check your local code first, double cylinder is restricted in many jurisdictions on a required exit door.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 5312 Helios two-point entry lockset if I want the same lever-plus-deadbolt sideplate look in solid brass from another maker?
The Omnia D12036A Single Cylinder Deadbolt Lever Lockset is the nearest match. Like the Emtek 5312 Helios, it is a single cylinder lever set with an integrated deadbolt on a solid brass sideplate, so one plate on each face carries both the lever and the bolt. The Emtek 5312 is brass construction with a lever handle in an entry function, keyed single cylinder. Both are handed lever products, so confirm left or right hand before ordering either.
8) What does a two-point lockset actually do compared with a separate lever and deadbolt?
A two-point lockset is a lever and a deadbolt tied together on one continuous sideplate rather than two loose escutcheons. You still bore two holes in the door, but the trim reads as one vertical plate top to bottom, which is why designers spec it. Functionally it's an entry set with a single cylinder deadbolt, key outside and thumbturn inside. If you want the same look without any locking, that role is filled by a dummy version, and if you want a key required from both sides you want a double cylinder version instead.
9) I need a matching non-locking set for a closet or pantry to go with my entry locksets, what pairs with it?
For a dummy opening that has to look like a two-point entry set but never latch, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing. It's a different brand and a different lever design, so it will not visually match Emtek Helios trim exactly, use it where the door is in a separate room rather than side by side with the entry doors.
10) Is the Emtek 5312 Helios lockset solid brass, and which finishes hold up outdoors?
Brass through the substrate, not plated zinc. Seven finishes are offered: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). One thing to know before you pick: Unlacquered Brass has no clear coat, so it darkens and patinas with handling and weather. That's the point of it for some buyers and a callback for others, if you want the brass to stay bright, take Satin Brass instead.
11) Can I get the interior and exterior of the Emtek Helios lockset in two different finishes?
Split finish is available as an order option, so the outside of the door can carry one finish and the inside another. This is the fix when the exterior hardware on a house is all Flat Black or Oil Rubbed Bronze and the interior scheme is nickel or brass, you order one lockset instead of compromising on either side. You enter the split you want in the split finish field on the order.
12) What's the difference between the Modern Rectangular and Annapolis trim on the Emtek Helios lever set?
Two sideplate shapes carry the same Helios lever. Modern Rectangular is the squared-off contemporary plate, model 5312; the Annapolis plate is model 5318. Both come in all seven finishes and both hands. Pick the plate by the rest of the trim in the house, the lever and the lock function are the same either way.
13) Is the Emtek 5312 Helios two-point lockset OK for an apartment building or office entry door?
It's a residential-duty lockset, mechanical with no electronic option. For a house, a condo unit door or a light-traffic office suite it's the right class of hardware. For a commercial opening under a real traffic count, or anywhere the door is in a fire-rated assembly or on a required exit path, this is not the product to spec, go to a commercial-grade cylindrical or mortise lock instead.
14) Will the Emtek Helios two-point lockset cover the holes from the lock I'm taking off?
A two-point sideplate is one tall plate spanning both the lever bore and the deadbolt bore, so it covers more of the door face than two separate round roses. Whether it hides your old prep depends on where your existing bores sit, the plate follows Emtek's own hole spacing and the latch is a tubular unit at either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset. Measure your two existing bore centers and the backset before ordering, if the spacing between them doesn't match, the door needs new prep or a filler.
15) I need matching hardware on an inactive or closet door that does not latch - is there a non-keyed version of this style of sideplate lever set?
The Omnia D12036PD is the dummy version: a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates, on 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing, in a double dummy function. It is surface-applied trim only - no latch, no bolt, no keying - so it is used on doors that are pushed or pulled rather than latched. The Emtek 5312 Helios by contrast is a keyed entry lockset. Pairing a keyed unit on the active leaf with a dummy on the inactive leaf keeps the elevation consistent down a run of doors.
16) Can I swap an Omnia D12036PD in where an Emtek 5312 Helios lockset was specified?
No. The D12036PD is a double dummy - plates and levers only, with no latching or locking mechanism behind them. The Emtek 5312 Helios is an entry function, keyed, single cylinder, so it secures the opening. The two share the sideplate lever appearance but not the operation. If the goal is the look with security, the single cylinder Omnia D12036A is the substitute to consider; the D12036PD only belongs on an opening that needs no latch.
17) Which of these two-point sideplate lever sets can be keyed into an existing building key system?
The Emtek 5312 Helios ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard and can be supplied with a Weiser WR5 keyway instead by adding a W to the front of the product code, at no cylinder substitution upcharge, so it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Two keys are included. The Omnia comparables are catalogued by function - D12036A single cylinder and D12036AC double cylinder - so on a facility where the master key system drives the decision, the 5312 is the one with a stated keyway choice.
18) Are the Omnia D12036A and D12036AC different products or just different keying on the same lockset?
They are separate part numbers separated by function. The D12036A is the single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass; the D12036AC is the double cylinder version with the sideplate design. Ordering the wrong suffix gets a lockset that is keyed on the wrong number of faces, and the cylinder count is built into the part - it is not a field-changed option. The Emtek equivalent in single cylinder is the 5312 with the Helios lever.
19) For a contemporary condo unit door, how do I choose between the Emtek Helios 5312 and the Omnia D12036A?
Both are single cylinder brass sideplate lever locksets that combine the lever and deadbolt. The Emtek 5312 with the Helios lever is a contemporary style in brass, offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Satin Brass US4, in left and right hand, with a Modern Rectangular or Annapolis trim plate. The Omnia D12036A is a solid brass single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset. Where a unit door run needs one finish repeated across many openings in both hands, match the finish code first, then the hand.
