Emtek 16A5 Multi Point Lock Trim (Door Config #6) - Brass Plates, Modern Style (1.5" x 11"), Dummy Pair

No. The 16A5 is trim only: plates and handles. The multi point mortise lock box is a separate purchase. If you're replacing worn handles on a swinging patio door and the gearbox in the door still works, this is the right part. If the gearbox is the problem, you need the lock body too.

Dummy means there's no latch and no key action in the trim. The 16A5 pair is a pull on both sides, used on the inactive leaf of a pair of patio doors or where the door doesn't need to operate. It isn't keyed. If you need the handle to actually throw the multi point gear, order an active trim instead, not the dummy.

Yes, it covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans standard residential interior and the common 1-3/4 inch patio door. There's a door thickness field on the order, so give the actual measured thickness of your slab when you place it.

Configuration #6 describes where the holes land on the plate: 3-5/8 inch center-to-center between the handle and the cylinder position, with the cylinder below the handle. Measure your existing plate from the spindle hole to the cylinder hole. If that comes out at 3-5/8 inches with the cylinder underneath the lever, config #6 is your layout. On the dummy pair there's no working cylinder, but the plate is still drilled to the #6 pattern so it matches the active door beside it.

Milgard and Pella are the reference door manufacturers for this trim pattern. That's the starting point, not the whole answer: confirm your door's handle-to-cylinder spacing is 3-5/8 inches with the cylinder below the handle before ordering, since both makers used more than one layout over the years.

No door prep is required. The 16A5 is surface mount, so the plates sit on the face of the door rather than dropping into a mortise pocket. That matters on a replacement job: you're working with the holes already in the door, not routing a vinyl or clad patio slab.

The plates measure 1-1/2 x 11 inches, a narrow modern rectangle. On a patio door with a slim stile that's the point: an 11 inch plate only 1-1/2 inches across stays inside the stile and off the glass. Check that your existing plate isn't wider than 1-1/2 inches, or the old screw holes and any paint or stain shadow will show around the new one.

The lever is a required selection, and there are 51 to choose from. That includes the modern L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar families in Faceted, Hammered, Knurled, Tribeca, Straight Knurled and White Marble treatments, plus traditional patterns like Milano, Turino, Coventry, Rope, Rustic and Santa Fe. Any brass lever pairs with these brass plates, so you can match the levers already on the interior doors of the house.

Seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). Match by the US code stamped or listed on what you already have rather than by name. One note for a fleet or a whole-house job: Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will darken with handling, so it won't stay identical to a piece installed a year earlier.

It's residential hardware, and solid brass rather than a plated zinc casting. For an apartment unit's patio slider or a single family home it's the right class of part. For a commercial entrance carrying public traffic, look at graded commercial hardware instead, since nothing about this trim is rated for that duty.

Emtek's multi point trim in this configuration uses an American style cylinder, mounted below the handle. That's the standard round mortise-style cylinder a locksmith can key into most residential systems. The 16A5 dummy pair itself has no working cylinder, so if you want the pair keyed alike to the rest of the house, that happens on the active door trim.

No, it's fully mechanical. There's no electronics and no wiring to run, so nothing on this trim depends on power or batteries.
