Emtek 1L1M13 Multi Point Lock Trim (Large Multi Point Entry Set) - Brass Plates, Melrose Style (2.9" x 17.5"), Non-Keyed American Style Thumbturn Inside

No. The 1L1M13 is trim only, plates and handles. The multi point mortise lock box is a separate purchase, so if you are replacing hardware on a swinging patio door you need the existing lock body to stay in the door, or you order the lock separately. What you get is the exterior and interior plates in Melrose style at 2.9 x 17.5 inches, plus the lever set you choose.

The handle-to-cylinder center-to-center is 3-5/8 inches, with the cylinder below the handle, and it is cut for a large multi point configuration. Measure from the center of the existing handle spindle hole to the center of the cylinder hole on your door. If that measurement is not 3-5/8 inches, this plate will not line up with the prepped holes. The trim is referenced to G-U multi point lock gear.

There is no key cylinder supplied with this set, and no keyed function on the interior. Inside operation is an American style thumbturn. The exterior plate is bored for an American cylinder below the handle, so you supply the cylinder to match your keying, or reuse the one in the door. That makes this the right pick when you already have a keyway you want to stay on and the wrong pick if you expected a complete keyed entry package.

Three things beyond finish. Handing, right or left, which is required and not field reversible on the order form. Lever style, also required, chosen from the brass lever range (L-Square, T-Bar and R-Bar bars in Faceted, Hammered, Knurled, Tribeca, Straight Knurled and White Marble, plus cast levers like Athena, Luzern, Poseidon, Cortina, Milano, Rope, Rustic, Santa Fe and Arts and Crafts). And door thickness, which is an open text entry so the set is built to your slab.

Stand outside the door, on the side the key goes in. If the hinges are on your right and the door pulls or swings toward you, it is right hand. Hinges on the left, left hand. Handing is a required selection on the 1L1M13 and the plates are made handed, so getting it backwards means the thumbturn and lever orientation are wrong on a set you cannot flip.

Nine, all on solid brass plates: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one to pick if you want the plate to patina; the Lifetime finishes are the ones that hold their appearance on a sun-exposed patio door.

Spring assist is built into the current 1L1M13 trim. It returns the lever to horizontal after each use, which is the fix for the drooping handle that shows up on multi point patio doors after a few seasons of use. If you are replacing an older Emtek multi point trim that sags, this is a functional upgrade and not just a cosmetic one.

The 1L1M13 is cut for a large multi point configuration and the plate runs 17.5 inches on its long dimension. Large versus small is decided by the lock gear already mortised into your door, not by preference: a large multi point prep has the cylinder set well below the handle at 3-5/8 inch centers, and a shorter plate will not cover or align with that prep. Measure the existing plate before you order.

It is a residential grade set, intended for swinging patio doors in homes. For a commercial opening with traffic volume and code requirements, this is not the part to spec. It suits property managers on single family, townhome and luxury multi-family patio doors where the multi point gear is already in place.

No electronics. The 1L1M13 is mechanical trim with a thumbturn inside and a cylinder hole outside. There is no motor, no keypad and no wiring provision, so if you want app or code access on a multi point patio door you need an electronic multi point solution instead of this trim.
