Emtek EMP20206-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with Hamden grip fit my door thickness and existing bore?

The EMPowered 2 Touch entry set covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick and uses a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so it drops into a door already prepped for a residential handleset. That range takes in both the common 1-3/8 inch older interior door and the 1-3/4 inch standard exterior door, plus thicker custom slabs up to 2-1/4 inch. Door thickness is a field you fill in when ordering.

2) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch handleset?

Handing is required. You pick Right Hand (RH) or Left Hand (LH) at order time, and it is not field-reversible on the order form, so confirm the swing from the outside of the door before you place it. Inside trim style and finish are separate required choices.

3) What do I have to pick when ordering the Emtek Hamden touch entry set besides the finish?

Four decisions. Finish (Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, or Polished Chrome US26); version (Key-Free or Keyed, each with Bluetooth only or Bluetooth plus Wi-Fi); handing, right or left; and the inside knob or lever, which is a required selection from Emtek's brass trim range. Door thickness and a split finish are optional entries if you need something other than the default.

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

Both are offered in every finish. Keyed keeps a mechanical cylinder in the exterior escutcheon, so a physical key still works if the batteries die or a resident refuses to use the app. Key-free removes the cylinder entirely, which takes rekeying and key control off the table and leaves fingerprint, code, and Bluetooth as the only ways in. For a rental or a property with turnover, keyed usually wins because you keep a mechanical override; for a homeowner who wants a clean escutcheon and no keys in circulation, key-free is the reason the product exists.

5) Is the Wi-Fi version of the Emtek EMPowered 2 worth ordering, or is Bluetooth enough?

Bluetooth alone handles unlocking at the door, fingerprint enrollment, guest codes, and auto-lock. The Wi-Fi version adds remote capability: a 24/7 activity feed, real-time notifications of who came and went, and status checking from off site. If you need to see access history on a rental or grant entry to a contractor while you are elsewhere, order the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi version. If the lock is on your own front door and you are always there to use it, Bluetooth covers it. Both are stocked across all five finishes and in keyed and key-free.

6) What comes in the box with the Emtek EMPowered 2 Hamden handleset, and what else do I need to order?

It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included, so the door hardware side of the job is covered. What you must still choose is the interior knob or lever, which is a required selection rather than an extra, and four AA batteries to power it. Nothing else is needed to make the opening work.

7) My door is 2 inches thick and I need a keyed entry handleset. Which ones cover that?

The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip is available in a keyed version and fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, so a 2 inch slab is inside its range. Among mechanical handlesets, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with the Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry listing 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with the Hudson knob lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset also lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

8) Is a mortise entry trim like the Baldwin 6542 Tremont a substitute for the Emtek Touch entry set?

They are not interchangeable. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip is a bored set with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore that ships complete with its latch and strike plate. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim, offered single cylinder as BAL-6542ENTR and double cylinder as BAL-6542DBLC, is trim for a mortise case on a 1-3/4 inch door, so the door has to be prepped with a mortise pocket rather than a bored hole. Swapping one for the other means changing the door prep.

9) Can I match the Emtek Hamden touch entry set to the knobs and levers already on my interior doors?

Yes, and this is the main reason people specify Emtek here. The inside trim is a required choice from roughly ninety knob and lever styles, running from crystal knobs (Windsor, Georgetown, Old Town) through traditional levers (Rope, Ribbon & Reed, Santa Fe) to modern bar and square designs (T-Bar Knurled, L-Square Tribeca, Conical White Marble). If the rest of the house is already Emtek, pick the same lever pattern and the entry door reads as part of the set. A split finish option is also available if the interior side needs to differ from the exterior.

10) How does fingerprint unlocking on the Emtek EMPowered 2 actually work at the door?

The exterior escutcheon carries a touchscreen reader with a fingerprint sensor. Emtek rates it at 99 percent accuracy with recognition under half a second, so it reads as fast as turning a key. Auto-Lock relocks the door behind you, and codes can be issued as permanent, scheduled, or temporary through the Yale Access app for cleaners, contractors, or short-term guests. The app also manages Emtek, Yale, and August devices together, so a mixed property does not need three apps.

11) Is the Emtek EMPowered 2 touch entry set OK for a commercial building or a multi-family entrance?

It is built and catalogued as a residential product, in brass with an American Classic styling, and it is aimed at houses and individual units rather than commercial openings. For a unit door in a multi-family building it works and the guest-code and activity-feed features are genuinely useful to a property manager. For a commercial storefront or an institutional opening with grade and fire requirements, look at Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial hardware instead.

12) What is a good alternative to the Emtek EMPowered 2 touch handleset if my door is thicker than standard?

The Emtek EMPowered 2 set already covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, which is the widest range in the smart handleset category we carry. If you want a comparable electronic touchscreen handleset in that thicker range from another brand, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock BYRD226CBARX with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the Assure Lock 2 key-free version with the Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. Weslock's 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch if you want a mechanical keyed set rather than electronic.

13) What is the difference between the Emtek EMPowered 2 touch handleset and the Kwikset San Clemente electronic handleset?

Both are handlesets with an electronic deadbolt, but they solve different problems. The Emtek uses a fingerprint touchscreen reader and lets you specify the interior knob or lever from a large brass trim range, in five finishes. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente pairs a SmartCode contemporary keypad with a Halifax lever, ships with RCAL latch and RCS strike, and uses SmartKey rekeying, but it is fixed at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. If your door is 1-3/8 inch or thicker than 1-3/4, the Emtek is the one that fits.

14) If I do not need electronic access at all, what is the simpler mechanical handleset for the same opening?

The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip is an electronic entry set. For a purely mechanical keyed entry handleset on a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with the Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance function in the F Series. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset is another mechanical entry option in the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, supplied in satin nickel. The Emtek carries a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, so it reaches thicker slabs than either.

15) Can I use a dummy handleset in place of the Emtek Touch entry set on an active door?

No. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip is a complete set with latch and strike plate and is handed right or left because it operates the door. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handleset with the New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont handleset with the Impresa knob are both dummy function, meaning surface trim with no latch action, so they suit an inactive leaf of a pair rather than the operating door.

16) I am standardizing entry hardware across a set of units and want a graded mechanical handleset. Which comparables state a grade?

Among handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with the Accent lever and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with the Seville lever are both Grade 2, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series is Grade 2 as well. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder keyed handlesets are Grade 3. Note that the Schlage JE285 is a non-keyed entry function, while the F60, the Master Lock and the two Kwikset units are keyed entrance function. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip is the electronic option in the same handleset format, with keyed and key-free versions.

17) The Kwikset 687AMD comes in an SMT and an SMC version. What is the difference, and how does it compare to ordering the Emtek Touch set?

The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset is a Grade 3 keyed entrance in both cases and is supplied exterior only. KWI-687AMD-S is the SMT SmartKey build; KWI-687AMD-SMC is the SmartKey build specified with the SC1 keyway. Both list a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip is instead ordered as a complete set including latch and strike plate, with the inside knob or lever chosen separately from the brass trim range.

18) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock an alternative to the Emtek Touch entry set?

It solves a different problem. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, where the lever and deadbolt retract together in one motion. The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip is a handleset with a touchscreen reader and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, with the inside knob or lever chosen from the brass trim range. If the requirement is single-motion egress on a multi-family door, the JI18/19 is the interconnected option; if it is coded and fingerprint access on the exterior, the Emtek set is.

19) Can I convert an existing Emtek handleset to the EMPowered 2 touch instead of buying a whole new set?

The EMPowered 2 Touch with Hamden grip is sold as a complete set including the latch and strike, not as a trim-only piece, so the exterior grip and escutcheon come with it. Emtek does publish a separate EMPowered 2 Smart Lock Upgrade install procedure for adding the smart cylinder to existing hardware, which is the path if you are keeping the grip you already have on the door.

20) I like the handleset with matching interior knob look. What non-electronic sets pair a grip with a knob the way the Emtek set does?

The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip takes any brass knob or lever for the inside trim. Among mechanical peers, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with the Alcott knob as BAL-180WYHXATK and with the Carnaby knob as BAL-180WYHXCYK, both entrance function. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset comes with the Hudson knob at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The difference is that the Baldwin and Weslock pairings are fixed at the part number, while the Emtek inside trim is a separate selection made at order.

21) I want a solid brass entry handleset in a traditional style. What are the choices?

The Emtek EMPowered 2 Touch entry set with the Hamden grip is brass in an American Classic style, offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19 and Polished Chrome US26. On the mechanical side, Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function. The Deltana sets are keyed mechanical trim; the Emtek adds the touchscreen and fingerprint reader in the same brass material.
