The EMTEK Maguire Entry Set with Deadbolt delivers traditional American door hardware with the installation flexibility contractors need. Universal handing allows for easy installation on left or right-handed doors, while adjustable tubular latches for 2-3/8” or 2-3/4” backsets eliminate the guesswork on standard residential doors. At 4.9 stars across 2,321 reviews, this entry set combines proven performance with the versatility to handle varied job requirements.
Installation Flexibility Saves Time
Universal (non-handed) design means contractors stock one SKU that works for any door swing. No more ordering left-handed or right-handed versions. No more wrong parts showing up on the jobsite. The adjustable 2-3/8” or 2-3/4” tubular latches adapt to either common backset measurement without additional parts.
The hardware fits 1-3/8” to 1-3/4” (Standard) door thickness — covering everything from older solid wood doors to modern insulated steel entries. Fits standard door prep with 2-1/8” face bore and 1” edge bore, making it a drop-in replacement for most existing locksets.

Design Options Match Montana Architecture
Five finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze and Flat Black provide options whether matching existing hardware or creating contrast. The Traditional ‘Classic Americana’ style suits Montana’s preference for substantial, timeless design over trendy minimalism.
Compatible with 4 different knob/lever styles:
- Lewiston Knob
- Auburn Knob
- Walker Knob
- Farmington Lever
This mix-and-match capability lets contractors meet specific client preferences without switching hardware brands. EMTEK is known for its focus on aesthetic versatility, allowing for a variety of finishes and styles that can complement different architectural designs.
Professional Perspective
Emtek, the brand behind the Maguire series, is known for its focus on design freedom, allowing for mix-and-match customization and fast made-to-order manufacturing, which appeals to contractors seeking tailored solutions. The hardware excels in upscale residential entrances, custom homes, and boutique commercial spaces where aesthetic appeal and tailored design are prioritized.
The trade-off comes in heavy-use applications. Compared to other high-end brands like Baldwin, which emphasizes material density and long-term durability with forged brass construction, Emtek’s focus on design flexibility may be seen as a weakness in applications demanding maximum impact resistance and heavy-use durability. EMTEK hardware may not be as robust for high-traffic, heavy-use environments where impact resistance and long-term durability are critical.
For residential entries that see normal use — not apartment building lobbies or commercial storefronts — the Maguire delivers the security and style homeowners expect. Single cylinder deadbolt functionality provides standard residential security without overcomplicating the installation.
Bottom Line
The EMTEK Maguire Entry Set solves real contractor problems through universal handing and adjustable backsets. Five finish options and four handle choices cover most design requirements without special orders. Standard bore compatibility makes it viable for retrofits and new construction alike.
Skip it for high-traffic commercial applications where impact resistance matters more than aesthetics. But for residential entries where clients want traditional styling with modern convenience features, the Maguire delivers what Montana contractors need.
