Electronic Levers

Electronic Door Levers & Keypad Locksets

Electronic door levers combine a traditional lever handle with keypad-operated entry, allowing users to unlock the door with a programmed code instead of relying solely on a physical key. The current Coastal Hardware Store collection features Emtek electronic keypad leversets in touchscreen and push-button configurations, with modern, classic, and Sandcast Bronze designs available across a variety of lever styles and finishes.

All products currently represented in this collection are Emtek entry leversets. These are standalone electronic keypad locks rather than app-connected smart locks, so shoppers should choose them for code-based keyless entry rather than Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, fingerprint, or smartphone operation. For connected locking options, browse our broader electronic locks collection.

Why Choose Electronic Door Levers?

Electronic keypad levers provide another way to control entry while retaining the familiar operation and appearance of a lever handle. The current Emtek products combine programmable access codes with a mechanical key option and are available in multiple architectural styles.

• Keyless code entry: Unlock the door using a programmed keypad code instead of reaching for a key during everyday use.
• Multiple user codes: Current Emtek keypad leversets are programmed with two secure user codes and can store up to 20 user codes.
• Mechanical key access: Emtek's operating specifications provide key access in addition to keypad entry when the exterior lever is locked.
• Illuminated keypad operation: Current product listings include illuminated keys for easier operation in low-light conditions along with a low-battery indicator.
• Multiple design styles: The collection includes touchscreen, modern, classic, and Sandcast Bronze keypad designs paired with several Emtek lever profiles.
• Finish coordination: Available finishes include black, brass, nickel, chrome, bronze, and manufacturer-specific patina options depending on the selected product family.

Types of Electronic Door Levers Available

EMTouch Touchscreen Keypad Leversets

Emtek EMTouch leversets replace individual physical keypad buttons with a touchscreen interface. The current Coastal Hardware collection includes EMTouch models paired with lever designs such as Stuttgart, Helios, Hercules, and Freestone, along with EMTouch Classic configurations using Turino, Coventry, and Cortina levers.

Emtek programs EMTouch leversets with two secure user codes, and the locks can store up to 20 codes. The manufacturer offers these touchscreen leversets with multiple brass lever choices and several finish options, allowing the electronic trim to coordinate with other Emtek hardware.

Modern Electronic Keypad Leversets

Emtek's Modern Electronic Keypad Leversets use a push-button keypad with contemporary lever profiles. Current Coastal Hardware options include Helios, Hercules, and Stuttgart levers. These models provide code-based entry while maintaining the clean geometric appearance associated with Emtek's modern hardware collections.

Classic Electronic Keypad Leversets

Classic Electronic Keypad Leversets pair Emtek's electronic keypad with more traditional lever designs. The current collection includes Coventry, Turino, Wembley, and Cortina options. These models provide the same general programmable-code concept while offering a different architectural style from the Modern keypad series.

Sandcast Bronze Electronic Keypad Leversets

For projects using warmer or more rustic hardware, Emtek offers Sandcast Bronze Electronic Keypad Leversets with lever styles currently including Durango, Aurora, Cody, Cimarron, and Teton. Emtek's Sandcast Bronze material is a copper-rich alloy designed to develop a living patina as it is handled and exposed over time.

Current Sandcast Bronze keypad leversets are represented in Flat Black Bronze Patina and Medium Bronze Patina. Their evolving surface characteristics should be considered when coordinating them with other hardware.

How to Choose the Right Electronic Door Lever

Start with the access method and door preparation, then compare keypad style, lever design, finish, handing, door thickness, and backset. Electronic levers have additional compatibility requirements beyond the appearance of the trim.

• Choose touchscreen or push-button entry: EMTouch models use a touchscreen keypad, while Emtek's Modern, Classic, and Sandcast Bronze electronic levers use physical keypad buttons.
• Confirm the door preparation: Current Emtek keypad leversets use a standard 2-1/8-inch bore door preparation. Compare this with the existing door before ordering.
• Check the backset: The standard latch uses a 2-3/8-inch backset. Emtek specifies that a 2-3/4-inch backset can be ordered when required.
• Measure the door thickness: Current Emtek technical specifications generally support doors from 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches thick when specified. Adaptors are available on supported brass models for some thinner doors.
• Confirm handing: Emtek requires handing for its electronic leversets, so determine whether the door requires a left-hand or right-hand configuration before ordering.
• Choose the lever and finish: After confirming the technical requirements, compare the available lever profiles and finishes with nearby hinges, deadbolts, handlesets, and other visible hardware.

Materials, Styles & Finishes

Materials vary by electronic-lever family. Emtek's Modern and Classic keypad collections use brass lever options, while the Sandcast Bronze series uses the manufacturer's copper-rich bronze alloy. Because an electronic leverset contains mechanical, electronic, and decorative components, shoppers should not assume that every component is constructed from one uniform material.

The current Coastal Hardware collection includes products shown in Flat Black, Flat Black Bronze Patina, Lifetime Polished Nickel, Medium Bronze Patina, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Satin Brass, and Satin Nickel. Finish availability varies considerably by keypad and lever combination.

Living finishes require additional consideration. Emtek's Flat Black Bronze Patina and Medium Bronze Patina are designed to evolve as the hardware is handled and exposed. When coordinating multiple products, use the exact Emtek finish designation and review the manufacturer's finish information rather than assuming similarly named finishes will remain visually identical.

Featured Electronic Lever Brand

The current Electronic Levers collection is represented exclusively by Emtek. Within the brand, shoppers can choose among several keypad and design families depending on the desired interface, architectural style, lever profile, and finish.

• Emtek: Current options include EMTouch touchscreen leversets, Modern Electronic Keypad Leversets, Classic Electronic Keypad Leversets, and Sandcast Bronze Electronic Keypad Leversets. All products currently shown in the collection are categorized as entry hardware.
• EMTouch: Uses a touchscreen keypad and is available with contemporary and classic Emtek lever profiles.
• Modern: Combines a push-button keypad with streamlined contemporary levers such as Helios, Hercules, and Stuttgart.
• Classic: Pairs electronic keypad operation with traditional or transitional lever options including Coventry, Turino, Wembley, and Cortina.
• Sandcast Bronze: Combines keypad entry with Emtek's living bronze material and rustic lever designs in Flat Black Bronze Patina and Medium Bronze Patina.

Electronic Operation & Access Codes

Current Emtek electronic leversets arrive programmed with two unique user codes and can store up to 20 codes. This makes it possible to provide separate keypad access for household members or other authorized users without distributing additional physical keys.

Emtek's keypad-leverset documentation describes operating configurations in which the exterior lever can remain locked and entry is provided by code or key, as well as passage operation on supported configurations where the exterior lever can operate freely. Review the operating instructions for the exact model being ordered before relying on a particular mode.

The current Coastal Hardware product listings also specify illuminated keypad operation, a low-battery indicator, and an included 9-volt battery. These models operate locally at the lock and should not be confused with connected smart locks that provide app-based remote access.

Installation & Compatibility

Current Emtek electronic leversets are designed around a standard 2-1/8-inch bore preparation. The standard latch uses a 2-3/8-inch backset, with a 2-3/4-inch backset available when specified. Emtek also requires the correct handing for leverset configurations.

Manufacturer specifications generally support doors from 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches thick when the appropriate thickness is specified. Emtek also offers adaptors for supported brass leversets on doors between 1-3/8 inches and 1-5/8 inches thick for an additional charge. Requirements can vary by product family, so confirm the specifications for the exact leverset rather than assuming every configuration fits the same door.

Current Coastal Hardware listings state that installation on a compatible standard preparation can be performed with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Existing doors should still be measured before purchase, especially when replacing hardware with a different bore, backset, handing, or door-thickness requirement.
