Emtek 5312.ROU.US14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 5312 two-point lockset need handing specified when I order?
Handing has to be given on this one. Emtek calls out handing as required, and since the 5312 is a two-point sideplate set with a knob and a deadbolt on one plate, the plate orientation follows the door. Get the swing right (which side the hinges are on, viewed from outside) before the order goes in, along with backset and finish.
2) What backset does the Emtek 5312 round knob lockset use, and will it fit my existing bore?
Standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and 2-3/4 inch is orderable instead. Both are selectable at order time, so measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore and pick the one that matches. Those are the two backsets used on residential doors, so an existing prepped door will almost always land on one of them.
3) Will the Emtek 5312 lockset work on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
It is built for a 1-3/4 inch door as standard, and thicker doors are handled by stating the actual thickness on the order so the correct spindle and screw pack come with it. If you are working on an older interior door at 1-3/8 inches, give that measurement too rather than assuming the standard set fits.
4) Can the Emtek 5312 be keyed into my existing Weiser or Schlage keys?
Schlage C is the standard keyway, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available in its place at no cylinder upcharge, which lets the set be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Two keys come with it. If you have several units on one master or house key, keyed alike and keying to a specific code are both selectable when ordering.
5) What does two-point mean on an Emtek sideplate lockset, and do I still need a separate deadbolt?
Two-point means the knob and the deadbolt sit together on one sideplate and are installed as a single unit, so no second deadbolt is ordered separately. It is an entry function with a single cylinder, meaning key outside and a thumbturn inside. If you want a key required on both faces (a glass panel next to the door, for example), a single cylinder is the wrong choice for you.
6) I need a key on both sides of the door instead of a thumbturn - what should I use instead of the Emtek 5312 round knob lockset?
The Emtek 5312 round knob two-point lockset is single cylinder, meaning it is keyed from one side. For an opening that must be keyed from both sides, the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design. Double cylinder hardware is restricted on some egress doors, so confirm the opening allows it before ordering.
7) The Omnia D12036PD looks like the same lockset - can I use it as a substitute for the Emtek 5312?
No. Despite the similar sideplate appearance, the Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy - trim only, with no latch and no cylinder. The Emtek 5312 round knob two-point lockset is a keyed entry lockset with a single cylinder. If the door must lock, the dummy is not a substitute; the single cylinder Omnia D12036A is the keyed counterpart in that family.
8) Is the Emtek 5312 round knob lockset suitable for a commercial entrance in a rental building?
Emtek lists the 5312 as residential. It is a tubular lockset, not a mortise or a Grade 1 cylindrical, so for an apartment unit door or a house it is in scope, and for a heavy-traffic commercial entry you want a commercial-rated cylindrical or mortise lock instead.
9) I am doing several units and want them all on one key. Can Emtek two-point locksets be keyed alike?
Keyed alike is an ordering option alongside keyed different, and there is also a field to key to a specific code if the building already runs on one. That covers a landlord putting a single key on a run of unit doors, or matching new hardware to an existing Weiser system by taking the WR5 cylinder.
10) What matches the look of a two-point sideplate lockset on a door that does not need to lock or latch?
For an inactive leaf or a closet door that only needs matching trim, the Omnia D12036PD is a solid brass dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on 5-1/2 inch center to center spacing. It is a double dummy, so it neither latches nor keys. The Emtek 5312 with round knob is an entry function, keyed lockset, so it is the one to use where the door actually secures.
11) What finishes does the Emtek round knob two-point lockset come in, and can I mix finishes inside and out?
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). A split finish can be specified if the exterior and interior need to differ, which is the usual move when the outside has to match existing entry hardware and the inside has to match the room.
12) Is the Emtek 5312 lockset solid brass, and how will unlacquered brass age?
Brass through the body and substrate. Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) has no clear coat, so it darkens and patinas with handling, which is the point of ordering it. If you want the brass tone held steady across a set of doors, Satin Brass (US4) is the finished option.
13) Is the Emtek 5312 a smart lock or does it need any wiring?
Purely mechanical, no electronics and no power. It is a keyed tubular set with a knob, so installation is a standard bore and latch prep with no low voltage run to the door.
