Emtek 1253-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 1253 multi point trim include the multi point lock mechanism?
No. The Emtek 1253 is trim only: plates and handles. The multi point mortise lock box is not included, so you need the existing lock body in the door or a separate lock mechanism to go with it.
2) Which patio door brands is the Emtek 1253 trim set referenced for?
It is referenced against multi point locks from BiltBest, G-U, Hurd (Energy Saver), and Andersen. It is built as Door Configuration #2 with a 3-5/8 inch center-to-center between the handle and the cylinder position, so match those against the prep in your door before ordering.
3) Is there a key cylinder on the Emtek 1253, or just a thumbturn?
Non-keyed. The inside gets an American style thumbturn instead of a keyed cylinder, so it operates the multi point lock from inside only. If you need to key the door from outside, choose a keyed version of the same configuration rather than the 1253.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering the Emtek 1253 trim?
Three things beyond finish. Lever style, from ten Sandcast Bronze options (Aurora, Bryce, Cimarron, Cody, Durango, Lariat, Mariposa, Montrose, Teton, Yuma); handing, right or left; and your door thickness. Finish is Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze.
5) Do I need to know the handing of my patio door for this Emtek trim?
Yes, handing is a required selection: right hand or left hand. The plate is drilled for a cylinder position above the handle, so a mirrored set will not line up on the wrong hand door. Determine handing from the hinge side as you stand outside the door.
6) How big are the Emtek 1253 escutcheon plates, and will they cover my old trim?
The plates are rectangular and measure 1-1/2 x 11 inches. That is a slim plate, so if you are replacing a wider or taller existing escutcheon, check that the old fixing holes and any cutout fall inside that footprint.
7) Can I use the Emtek 1253 on a commercial entrance?
It is classified residential. The 1253 is swinging patio door hardware for a multi point lock, not a graded commercial lockset, so for a commercial opening you want a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock instead.
8) Can I mix a different Emtek lever style with these bronze plates?
Yes, any Sandcast Bronze lever can be ordered with the 1253 plates. The lever is a required selection at order time, with ten Sandcast Bronze styles to pick from, so you can match the levers already on your interior doors.
9) Is the Emtek 1253 solid bronze or plated?
Sandcast bronze, solid, from the Emtek Sandcast Bronze collection. The finishes (Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, Tumbled White Bronze) are living finishes on real bronze rather than a plated coating over zinc.
10) Will the Emtek 1253 lever handles sag over time?
Each Emtek multi point trim set now ships with a spring assist that returns the lever to neutral, which is what prevents the drooping handle you see on older patio door trim.
11) Is the Emtek 1253 an electronic or smart lock trim?
No. It is purely mechanical trim, no electronics, no keypad, no wiring. Operation is the lever plus the inside thumbturn.
