Emtek 16A3-US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 16A3 multipoint trim include the multipoint lock body?
No. The 16A3 is trim only, so you get the interior and exterior plates and the handles, nothing else. The multipoint mortise lock box has to come separately, either the one already in your patio door or one ordered on its own. If your existing gearbox is fine and you're just changing the look of the door, this is the right part; if the lock itself has failed, trim alone won't fix it.
2) How do I know if I need Configuration #6 Emtek multipoint trim?
Configuration #6 refers to how the lock hardware is laid out on the door, and the 16A3 matches it with an American cylinder position below the handle and a thumbturn on the interior. Two things to check against the door: the handle-to-cylinder center-to-center is 3-5/8 inches, and the cylinder hole sits below the lever, not above it. If your existing plate measures a different center-to-center or has the key above the handle, a different configuration applies.
3) Will Emtek 16A3 trim fit my Milgard or Pella swinging patio door?
Milgard and Pella are the reference door manufacturers for this trim, and it's built for swinging patio doors running a multipoint lock. What actually decides the fit is the prep: a 3-5/8 inch center-to-center between the handle and the cylinder, an American cylinder hole below the lever. Measure the existing plate before ordering, because Milgard and Pella both used more than one lock layout over the years.
4) Does the 16A3 patio door trim take a key, or just a thumbturn?
Non-keyed. Inside you get a thumbturn to throw and retract the multipoint lock, and there's no cylinder supplied with the set. The plate is still prepped in the American cylinder position below the handle, so a keyed exterior is a different trim configuration, not an add-on to this one. For a patio door that only ever gets locked from inside the house, the thumbturn version is the simpler order.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering Emtek 16A3 multipoint trim?
Three choices are required beyond finish. Lever style, from 51 Emtek brass levers including the L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar bars in Faceted, Hammered, Knurled, Tribeca, Straight Knurled and White Marble, plus the cast patterns like Athena, Luzern, Milano, Rope and Arts and Crafts. Handing, right or left. And door thickness, which is a free text entry, so measure the slab and give the number rather than guessing at a standard. Finish is a separate pick across seven options.
6) Is the Emtek 16A3 trim handed, and how do I tell left from right?
Handing matters here, and it's a required selection: right hand or left hand. Stand outside the door, on the side you'd approach from the patio or exterior. If the hinges are on your right, it's right hand. Get it wrong and the thumbturn and lever geometry won't sit correctly against the multipoint gearbox.
7) What finishes does the Emtek 16A3 Modern multipoint trim come in?
Seven, all on solid brass: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). Two worth flagging for a patio door. Unlacquered brass has no clear coat and will patina with handling and weather, which is the point if you want it to age, a problem if you expect it to stay bright. Polished Nickel Lifetime is the one that holds its appearance without upkeep.
8) Why do my patio door levers sag, and does this Emtek trim fix that?
Sagging levers are a worn or absent return spring in the trim, not usually a fault in the lock body. Every Emtek multipoint trim, this one included, now ships with a Spring Assist function that returns the lever to horizontal and stops the droop. If you're replacing drooping handles on a patio door and the multipoint gearbox still throws properly, swapping the trim is the repair.
9) Is Emtek 16A3 multipoint trim suitable for a commercial building?
It's residential hardware. Emtek classes the 16A3 as residential, and it's swinging patio door trim in a Modern contemporary style, so it belongs on homes, condos and multi-family units rather than on a commercial entrance carrying code-rated traffic. Property managers replacing patio door handles across an apartment or townhome portfolio are the right fit; a storefront or a fire-rated opening is not.
10) Is the Emtek 16A3 multipoint trim electronic or keypad operated?
Purely mechanical. The 16A3 is a non-electronic, non-keyed trim: a lever outside, a lever and thumbturn inside, no keypad, no motor, no wiring in the door. Nothing to power and nothing to fail when the batteries die. If you want keyless entry on a patio door, this is not that product.
11) What material is the Emtek 16A3 trim, and will it hold up on an exterior patio door?
Solid brass, both the plates and the levers. Brass is the standard choice for an exterior door because it doesn't rust, which is what you want on an opening exposed to weather. The finish decides the maintenance more than the metal does: the plated finishes such as Polished Chrome and Satin Nickel keep their look, while Unlacquered Brass is bare and will darken outdoors.
