Emtek EMP20205-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set fit a 1-3/8 inch door?

Yes. The EMPowered 2 Touch Entry Set with Franklin Grip covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch, so it handles both older 1-3/8 inch entry doors and thicker modern or custom slabs. The exterior prep is a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. There is also a Door Thickness field on the order form, so measure the slab at the bore and enter it when you order.

2) Does the Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin handleset need to be ordered left hand or right hand?

Handing is required. The Franklin grip entry set is ordered Right Hand (RH) or Left Hand (LH), and it is not field reversible on the order form, so establish handing before you place the order. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is a right hand door.

3) What do I have to specify when ordering the Emtek Franklin touch entry set?

Four decisions. Exterior finish, one of five: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26). Version, one of four: Key-Free with Bluetooth, Key-Free with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Keyed with Bluetooth, or Keyed with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Handing, RH or LH. And the interior knob or lever, which is required and picked from Emtek's brass trim range. Door thickness and a split finish are optional entries if you need them.

4) Should I get the keyed or key-free version of the EMPowered 2 touch entry set?

Keyed keeps a mechanical cylinder in the deadbolt, so you can still get in with a key if the batteries die or someone's phone is dead. Key-free removes the cylinder entirely, which takes away the pick and bump target but leaves you dependent on the fingerprint reader, the touchscreen code, and the 4 AA batteries. For a rental or a house where guests and trades come and go, most people take keyed. Both versions run the same fingerprint and code access.

5) What is the difference between the Emtek EMPowered 2 handleset and the Yale Assure with Ridgefield handleset?

They are close cousins, both run on the Yale Access App. The Yale Real Living Assure Lock 2 Key-Free Touchscreen Deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield Handleset (BYRD256CBARX) covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the same span as the Emtek. The Wi-Fi Bluetooth Ridgefield version (BYRD226CBARX) and the standalone version (BYRD226NRRX) both start at 1-3/4 inch, so they will not go on a 1-3/8 inch door. The Emtek adds the fingerprint reader and lets you pick the interior knob or lever from the full Emtek brass range; the Yale sets come with the Ridgefield trim as configured.

6) Will the Emtek EMPowered 2 fit the existing bore in my door?

If your door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, yes, that is what the EMPowered 2 Franklin entry set is prepped for, and 2-1/8 inch is the normal residential bore on a door already carrying a knob or handleset. Being a handleset, it also needs the deadbolt bore above it, so a slab prepped only for a single knob will need additional boring. Slab thickness has to land between 1-3/8 and 2-1/4 inches.

7) The door is 2 inches thick - which handlesets actually cover that?

The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Among mechanical peers, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Schlage F60 Addison and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both stop at 1-3/4 inch, so they do not reach a 2 inch door.

8) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with Franklin grip if I want a touchscreen smart handleset from another brand?

The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset, which is the same combination the Franklin grip EMPowered 2 set covers in its Keyed, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi versions. The Yale set fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, while the Emtek Franklin set covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so on a standard 1-3/8 inch residential door the Emtek is the one that fits. Both run on the Yale Access app, so a property with mixed Emtek and Yale hardware manages from one app.

9) I want a key-free touchscreen handleset - what are my options besides the Emtek Franklin grip set?

The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set is offered in Key-Free, Bluetooth and Key-Free, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi versions in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Flat Black and Polished Chrome. The Yale Real Living BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 is a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and a Ridgefield handleset covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256 CBARX Assure Key Free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. All three drop the cylinder entirely, so there is no key override to rekey into a master system.

10) Is there a smart handleset that works without Wi-Fi or an app account?

The Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, meaning codes are programmed at the keypad with no network. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set is Bluetooth in every version and adds Wi-Fi only on the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi versions, so its Bluetooth-only builds still need a phone within range for guest codes and app management. For a vacation rental with no reliable internet at the door, the standalone Yale is the one that does not depend on a connection.

11) If I do not need electronics, what mechanical handleset gives me the same keyed entry function?

Several mechanical handlesets carry an entrance function without any electronics: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview single cylinder handleset is Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set is an electronic lock, so it needs 4 AA batteries and enrollment; these three are key-only and need neither.

12) Which handlesets look like the Emtek Franklin entry set but will not lock the door?

Dummy handlesets share the same exterior appearance and mount to the door face without a latch or cylinder. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set is a working electronic lock sold complete with latch and strike plate, so it is not interchangeable with a dummy on an active leaf.

13) The Emtek Franklin grip set is bored - is there an equivalent for a mortise-prepped door?

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is offered in single cylinder and double cylinder entry mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door, both entrance function. That is mortise trim, so the door has to be prepped for a mortise case rather than the 2-1/8 inch cross bore the Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set uses. A door already cut for the Emtek cross bore will not take the Baldwin without new prep, and vice versa.

14) Is the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi version of the Emtek EMPowered 2 worth it over plain Bluetooth?

Bluetooth alone means you have to be at the door with your phone to manage the lock. Adding the Wi-Fi module gets you a 24/7 activity feed, real time notifications of who came and went, and remote lock status and control from anywhere. If you manage a property you do not live at, or you want to grant a code to a cleaner and confirm they actually arrived, take the Wi-Fi version. If it is your own front door and you are there daily, Bluetooth covers it.

15) Can I match the Emtek EMPowered 2 handleset to the levers already on my interior doors?

Yes, within Emtek's brass range. The inside trim on the Franklin grip entry set is ordered as any Emtek brass knob or lever, so you can carry the same Athena, Luzern, Cortina, or Milano lever, or a Round, Egg, or crystal knob, straight through from the entry door to the rest of the house. That is the usual reason to spec Emtek over a big box electronic lock: the smart lock does not have to be the odd one out on the floor.

16) What comes in the box with the Emtek Franklin touch entry set?

It ships as a complete set: exterior Franklin grip with the touchscreen and fingerprint reader, the interior knob or lever you selected, plus the latch and strike plate. You supply the batteries (4 AA) and, if you want remote access, the Wi-Fi version. Nothing else needs to be bought separately to hang it on a prepped door.

17) How does the fingerprint reader on the Emtek EMPowered 2 actually work day to day?

You touch the reader on the exterior grip and it unlocks, with 99 percent accuracy and recognition in under half a second. Auto-Lock relocks the door behind you on its own. Codes work alongside it, so you can hand a guest or a contractor a temporary or scheduled code without enrolling their finger, and revoke it later. Everything is managed in the Yale Access App, which also runs Yale and August devices from the same place.

18) I want a keypad handleset but not a fingerprint reader. What else is there?

The Kwikset San Clemente Handleset with Halifax Lever and Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt (815SCEHFL-CP913CNT) is a handleset with an electronic deadbolt on a code keypad, and it ships with the RCAL latch and RCS strike. It is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, so check the slab first. The Yale Real Living Assure Standalone Touchscreen Deadbolt with Ridgefield Handleset (BYRD226NRRX) is another code-only route, 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, with no app connection at all.

19) Is a smart lock like the Emtek EMPowered 2 the right call, or should I just use a mechanical handleset?

Go electronic when you need to hand out access you can take back: rentals, cleaners, trades, family without keys. The EMPowered 2 does that with fingerprints, scheduled and temporary codes, and Auto-Lock. Go mechanical when nobody needs remote access and you do not want batteries in the door. On the mechanical side, the Deltana 810871 Montego Handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent Lever is a Grade 2 keyed entry set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

20) I only need the exterior half - are any of these sold as exterior trim only?

The Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador and 687AMD SMC Amador single cylinder handlesets and the Kwikset 687BW SMT Belleview are all sold exterior only, Grade 3 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single and double cylinder entry mortise trims are trim for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set is sold as a complete set with the latch and strike plate and takes a required inside knob or lever selection, so it is not an exterior-trim-only replacement.

21) What solid brass handlesets compare to the Emtek Franklin entry set on material?

The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set is brass. On the mechanical side, the Deltana 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston handlesets are all solid brass entry function, and the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Those are keyed mechanical sets, so a buyer standardizing a building on brass entry hardware can carry the Deltana on secondary doors and the Emtek where electronic access is wanted.

22) I need a keyed deadbolt with a passage lever below it - is the Emtek Franklin set the right part?

For that configuration the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set is a handleset with an electronic touchscreen deadbolt and a required inside knob or lever, so the exterior grip is a fixed pull rather than an interconnected lever set. The JI18/19 is the one to specify when the exterior needs a latching lever tied to the deadbolt.

23) Which handleset and interior knob combinations come pre-paired instead of letting me pick the inside trim?

The Baldwin Wesley handleset is sold as fixed pairings - Wesley x Alcott knob and Wesley x Carnaby knob, both entrance function - and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest comes with the Hudson knob. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Franklin grip set instead takes the inside knob or lever as a required selection from the brass knob and lever range, along with handing. For a distributor stocking a set number of SKUs, the pre-paired Baldwin and Weslock sets are the simpler line item; for matching existing interior trim, the Emtek is configured to it.

24) Can I get the Emtek Franklin entry set with two different finishes inside and out?

Yes. Split finish is an option on the order, so you can run Flat Black (US19) on the street side and Polished Nickel (US14) or Satin Nickel (US15) on the inside to match the interior trim. Enter what you want in the split finish field when you order; the five stock finishes are Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Flat Black, and Polished Chrome.
