Emtek 1831-MB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 1831 multi point trim include the multi point lock box, or just the plates and handles?
Trim only. The Emtek 1831 set covers the plates, the handles, and the cylinder. The multi point mortise lock box itself is a separate order, so if you are hanging a new patio door you need the lock body from the door manufacturer or as its own line item before this trim does anything. On a retrofit where the multi point body is already in the door and working, the trim alone is the right buy.
2) What does Door Configuration #8 mean on Emtek multi point trim, and how do I know it is the one my door takes?
Configuration #8 describes the layout of the plate: where the cylinder hub, the handle hub and the fasteners fall relative to each other. On the 1831 the cylinder sits ABOVE the handle, and the handle-to-cylinder center-to-center is 5-1/4 inches. Multi point trim is not interchangeable across configurations, so match the config number and the hub spacing on the lock body already in your door. If your gearbox puts the cylinder below the handle, or spaces it differently than 5-1/4 inches, #8 is the wrong trim.
3) Will Emtek 1831 trim fit a Neuma swinging patio door?
Neuma Doors is the reference door manufacturer for this trim, so the 1831 in Configuration #8 is built to the multi point prep Neuma uses. Confirm the cylinder falls above the handle on your specific door and that the hub spacing is 5-1/4 inch center-to-center; those two facts, plus the config number, are what decide the fit.
4) How many keys does the Emtek 1831 use, and can I key it to the rest of the house?
Single cylinder function, so one keyed American cylinder on the outside and a thumbturn or lever operation inside, not a key on both faces. Keyway is your choice of Schlage (the standard option) or Weiser WR5, and keying is handled at no cost: order keyed different, keyed alike across multiple sets, or key to an existing code by supplying the bitting. If the rest of your doors run Schlage C, pick the Schlage keyway and key to code and this opening takes the same key.
5) Are levers included with the Emtek 1831 trim, or do I pick them separately?
You pick the lever as part of the order, and the choices are Medici, Napoli, Octagon and Padua. All four are lost wax cast bronze in the Tuscany family, which is what keeps the lever and the plate matching in finish and texture. Any Tuscany bronze lever can go on this trim, so if you are matching interior doors already running one of those levers you can carry the same style out to the patio door.
6) What size are the Emtek 1831 plates, and will they cover an existing prep?
The plates measure 1-1/2 x 11-1/8 inches. That is a narrow escutcheon, so it lands on the stile of a swinging patio door without crowding the glass, but it will not hide a wider plate footprint or a bored-lock hole left by previous hardware. Measure the stile and any existing screw pattern against 1-1/2 x 11-1/8 before you commit.
7) Is Emtek 1831 trim rated for a commercial entrance or an apartment building entry door?
Residential. The 1831 is swinging patio door hardware for houses and residential units, not an entrance device for commercial traffic. If you are specifying a building entrance or a high-cycle opening, look at commercial mortise or exit hardware instead of multi point patio trim.
8) Do I need to give a door thickness when ordering Emtek 1831 multi point trim?
It is an optional entry on the order, and worth filling in. The spindle and cylinder tailpiece have to cross the door, so if your patio door is thicker or thinner than the usual run, stating the measured thickness gets you the right length hardware the first time. Measure the door leaf itself at the lock stile, not the panel or the glass stop.
9) Do Emtek multi point levers sag over time?
Every 1831 multi point trim ships with the Spring Assist function, which returns the lever to neutral and takes the droop out of the handle. That matters on a patio door because the lever is lifting a multi point gearbox and a lever that rests low will not line up its cam with the drive.
10) What finishes does the Emtek 1831 Tuscany bronze trim come in, and will they patina?
Two finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are on lost wax cast solid bronze rather than a plated substrate, which is why the color lives in the metal and softens with handling rather than flaking off an edge. Either finish pairs with the rest of the Tuscany Bronze collection if you are matching other openings.
11) Is there an electronic or keypad version of the Emtek 1831 multi point trim?
No, the 1831 is mechanical only, keyed with an American cylinder. If you need code or app access on a swinging patio door, this is the wrong trim to start from.
