Emtek 18A1-SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 18A1 multi point lock trim include the multi point lock body, or is it just the handles and plates?
Trim only. The 18A1 set gives you the interior and exterior plates, the handles, and the cylinder. The multi point mortise lock box that actually throws the latches and hooks is a separate purchase, so if you are building a swinging patio door from scratch you need the lock body ordered alongside this. If you are refreshing the hardware on a door that already has a working multi point mortise lock in it, trim only is exactly what you want.
2) What is the center-to-center measurement on the Emtek 18A1 multi point trim, and will it line up with my door's existing prep?
Center to center is 5-1/4 inches between the handle hub and the cylinder hub, with the cylinder sitting above the handle. That spacing plus Door Configuration #8 is what has to match the multi point lock body already in the door. Emtek numbers its multi point configurations precisely because the hub spacing and the cylinder-versus-thumbturn arrangement differ between them, so if the existing lock body is not a Config #8 layout with 5-1/4 inch spacing, the plates will not sit over the prep.
3) Is the Emtek 18A1 trim handed, and do I have to specify left or right?
Handing is required at order. The 18A1 is built as either Right Hand (RH) or Left Hand (LH), and it is not field reversible from the order form, so the handing gets chosen when you buy. Stand outside the patio door: the side the hinges are on gives you the hand. Get it wrong and the lever and cylinder land on the wrong side of the plate.
4) Which key system does the Emtek 18A1 patio door trim use, and can I key it to the rest of my house?
Two keyways are offered: Schlage keyway, which is the standard build, and the Weiser WR5 keyway. That means the patio door can run on the same key as the rest of the openings if those are Schlage or Weiser cylinders. It is a single cylinder keyed entry function with an American cylinder, so the key works from the outside and the inside operates without a key.
5) Which levers can I put on the Emtek 18A1 stainless steel multi point trim?
Nine lever styles are selectable: Athena, Cologne, Dresden, Helios, Hercules, Hermes, Kiel, Poseidon, and Stuttgart. All the stainless steel levers in the collection will mount to this trim, so the lever choice is purely a look decision, not a fit one. The finish across the set is Brushed Stainless Steel.
6) Do I need to give the door thickness when ordering Emtek multi point trim?
Door thickness is asked for on the order, and it should be supplied. Multi point trim spindles and cylinder tailpieces have to span the actual door, and swinging patio doors are frequently thicker than a standard interior slab, so measure the leaf and give the real figure rather than assuming a default.
7) Is the Emtek 18A1 multi point trim suitable for a commercial building entrance?
This is residential-rated swinging patio door hardware, not commercial entrance trim. For a multi-family or hospitality property, that makes it appropriate for unit patio doors and balcony doors, and the wrong choice for a lobby, corridor, or any opening that needs a commercial-grade cycle-tested lock. It is a purely mechanical set with no electronic option.
8) Are Emtek multi point patio door levers prone to sagging over time?
Spring assist is built into the trim, and it returns the lever to the neutral horizontal position after each use. That is the mechanism that stops the drooping lever you see on older multi point patio hardware where the lock body's spring is the only thing holding the handle up. It is included on the trim itself rather than being an option to add.
9) Is stainless steel trim the right pick for a coastal or exterior patio door?
Both the plates and the substrate are stainless steel, not plated zinc or brass, which is the material property that matters on an exterior-facing patio door exposed to weather and salt air. The finish is brushed, so it hides fingerprints and water spotting better than a polished face on a door that gets handled constantly.
