Emtek 2280-US3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I need to cut in the door for an Emtek 2280 mail slot?
The 2280 mail slot's trim measures 3-3/8 x 13-1/16 inches, so the through-door cutout has to sit inside that footprint on both faces. Lay out the opening from the actual trim, not from the trim size, since the plate has to cover the cut on the exterior and the interior. Solid brass, and it comes as a complete set with both the outside and inside trims plus wood screws, so once the slot is cut you are not sourcing a separate interior plate.
2) Does the Emtek 2280 mail slot come with an interior plate, or do I have to buy that separately?
Both trims are in the box. The 2280 ships as a complete set with the exterior trim, the interior trim, and wood screws, so the only thing you supply is the cutout and the labor. There is no separate inside flap or sleeve to order alongside it.
3) What finishes does the Emtek 2280 mail slot come in, and can I match it to my existing entry hardware?
Five finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), and Satin Brass (US4). Those are the standard US finish codes, so if the handleset or knocker already on the door is specified with one of them, the mail slot will read as the same family. Oil Rubbed Bronze is a living finish that darkens and wears at the touch points, so a new slot in US10B will not match a ten-year-old US10B handleset until it ages in.
4) Is the Emtek 2280 mail slot a residential or commercial door product?
Emtek lists the 2280 as residential. For a single-family entry door, a townhouse, or a small multi-family unit door it is the right class of product. For a high-traffic commercial entry or a bank of mailboxes in a lobby, a residential brass slot is not what that opening calls for, and USPS-regulated multi-family mail receptacles are a different product category entirely.
5) Will an Emtek brass mail slot hold up outdoors on a west-facing front door?
The body is solid brass through, not plated pot metal, so the substrate itself does not rust. What changes outdoors is the coating. Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) carries a protective coating meant to hold its color, while Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) is a living finish that patinas with sun and handling. On a heavily exposed door, buyers who want the look to stay put usually go US3, US15, or US19 rather than an oil rubbed finish.
6) How does the Emtek 2280 mail slot mount, and what tools does the installer need?
Wood screws are supplied, so the 2280 fastens into the door material itself rather than through bolting to a mating plate. That makes it straightforward on a solid wood or solid core door. On a hollow core or a glass front, screws into thin skin have nothing to hold, and a slot that size cut through the stile is not a cut you want in a lightweight door leaf. Confirm the door is solid before you cut.
7) Which Emtek mail slot is the wide one, the 2280 or the smaller plate?
Model 2280 is the long horizontal plate at 3-3/8 x 13-1/16 inches. That 13-1/16 inch overall length is what a buyer standardizing a row of doors needs to check first, because it dictates how much clear stile or panel width the door has to give up. On a door with narrow rails or a raised panel, measure the flat area before committing to a plate this long.
8) Will the Emtek 2280 look right on a traditional front door with Emtek knobs already on it?
Emtek styles the 2280 as American Classic and groups it in its Brass collection, so it sits with traditional entry trim rather than a contemporary square-edge program. If the door already carries Emtek hardware in one of the five shared finish codes (US3, US4, US10B, US15, US19), the slot will read as part of the same suite.
