Electronic door locks built as complete standalone units
Electronic door locks in this group ship as full leversets and deadbolts with a keypad or touchscreen built directly into the unit, not as a plate added over a separate mechanical lock a locksmith installs beforehand. Emtek makes every piece here, and each one drops into a door already prepped for an ordinary bore hole, so no new cutting is needed to swap out an existing knob or deadbolt.
Buttons you can feel versus a screen you tap
Part of this lineup uses a raised numeric keypad, buttons a hand can find without looking, sold in both a sandcast bronze finish and a smoother modern brass. The EMTouch versions swap that for a flat touchscreen instead, which sits nearly invisible on the door until a light tap wakes it for a code. Underneath, both styles share an identical mechanical core, so nothing about security changes between them.
Full handle or deadbolt-only
Choosing a keypad leverset means replacing the whole handle, latch included, a fit for a door getting all-new hardware at once. Choosing a keypad deadbolt instead leaves the existing lever or knob in place and only takes over the deadbolt's job, a smaller job for a door whose handle doesn't need touching. Sandcast bronze wears a rougher, pitted texture from the casting process; modern brass stays flat and even.
Built for one household, not a rotating guest list
A single owner programs and changes the access code here, from a small keypad on the lock itself rather than a phone app or a remote system. That suits a family's own front or back entry, where the same handful of people need reliable access, more than a property cycling through different occupants every few days. If the battery does eventually die, a set of contacts on the outside lets a 9-volt battery power the unit long enough to enter a code and get inside, and the mechanical key override built into every model here works as a permanent backup regardless of battery state.
