Does the EMTouch connect to a phone or smart home system?

No. It is a standalone keypad entryset with no app, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Codes are set at the lock itself.

It runs on batteries, so no wiring is needed at the door. Expect to replace them periodically depending on how often the keypad is used.

Will the brass finish stay the same color?

No. It is a living brass finish that darkens and develops a patina with handling and weather. Some owners like the aged look; others prefer a lacquered finish that stays uniform.

Can I use it with a key as well as the code?

The entryset is built around keypad entry. Check the specific configuration for whether a keyed override cylinder is included.

Does it fit standard door prep?

It is designed for standard tubular door prep, but confirm the door thickness and backset against Emtek's specifications before ordering.

Our take on the Emtek EMTouch Brass Electronic Keypad Entryset Square Knob

The Emtek EMTouch is a mechanical electronic keypad entryset for exterior doors, sold with a square knob. It unlocks with a code on the keypad instead of a key, so no key is needed for everyday entry. The brass finish is a living finish that darkens and patinas over time. It suits homeowners who want keyless entry in a traditional or transitional style, and it competes with electronic locksets from Schlage and Kwikset that offer app control and auto-lock, which the EMTouch does not.
