Emtek 8516-US7 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 8516 dutch door bolt come with a strike, or do I have to buy one separately?
Both strikes ship with it. You get a square corner lip strike for surface mounting and a mortise strike if you would rather cut it in flush, so the mounting method is decided on the job rather than at the order form. All the mounting hardware is included too. The strike plate measures 2 inches high by 0.79 inches wide, which is the pad of flat, unobstructed surface you need on the receiving leaf.
2) How much flat space do I need on a dutch door to mount a 4 inch dutch door bolt?
Plan on a clear 4 inch run for the Emtek 8516, which is both its overall length and its bar length, plus a 2 inch by 0.79 inch pad for the strike plate on the other leaf. Both of those areas have to be flat and clear of panel molding or a raised sticking, because this is a surface mounted bolt that sits on the face of the door rather than burying in the edge. It stands 1.25 inches proud of the face once mounted, so check that projection against anything the door swings past or anything hung on the back of it.
3) What does a dutch door bolt actually do, and do I need one on a dutch door?
It ties the upper and lower leaves together so the door works as one. Throw the Emtek 8516 and both halves swing as a single door; retract it and the top opens on its own while the bottom stays shut. That is the whole reason a dutch door needs a bolt, and it is separate from whatever knob or lever set latches the door to the jamb. The 8516 is the 4 inch solid brass version, with a 1.25 inch projection off the door face.
4) What is the difference between a dutch door bolt and a regular surface bolt or barrel bolt?
Different jobs entirely. A dutch door bolt like the Emtek 8516 spans the joint between the two leaves and locks them to each other so the door operates as one. A surface bolt or barrel bolt anchors a door to the frame, the head, or the floor and holds it closed against the opening. If you want the two halves of a dutch door to move together, the 8516 is the part. If you are pinning an inactive leaf on a pair of doors down to the sill, that is a different bolt and this one will not do it.
5) Is the Emtek 8516 dutch door bolt suitable for a commercial opening?
It is a residential product. Emtek specifies the 8516 for residential use, so it belongs on a house, a farmhouse dutch door, or a dutch door in an apartment or vacation rental rather than on a high traffic commercial opening. If you are working a service counter or an office dutch door that gets cycled all day, specify a commercial duty bolt instead of this one.
6) Can I get a dutch door bolt that matches the Emtek knobs and levers already in the house?
Yes. The 8516 is built to coordinate with Emtek's knob and lever sets and comes in 12 finishes: Medium Bronze (MB), Tumbled White Bronze (TWB), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Match the code on your existing trim and the bolt lands in the same family.
7) Will the Oil Rubbed Bronze finish on the Emtek 8516 dutch door bolt stay the same color?
No, and that is deliberate. Emtek calls Oil Rubbed Bronze a living finish, so it changes with handling and wear, letting the metallic tones underneath come through and giving the piece an older look than its age. On a dutch door bolt that gets touched every time the halves are joined or split, that change shows up faster than it would on a fixed piece of trim. If you want a dark bolt and do not want that behavior, the 8516 is also offered in Medium Bronze (MB), Flat Black (US19), and French Antique (US7).
8) Is the Emtek 8516 dutch door bolt solid brass or plated steel?
Solid brass, substrate and all, not aluminum or plated steel. Brass resists corrosion on its own, which is what you want on an exterior dutch door where the bolt sees weather every time the top half is open. It also has the weight and the smoothness in the hand that a plated part does not.
9) How do I order the Emtek 8516 dutch door bolt in a specific finish?
The model number stays 8516 for the 4 inch bolt and the finish code is what changes. Medium Bronze orders as 8516MB, Tumbled White Bronze as 8516TWB, Oil Rubbed Bronze as SPC851610B, Satin Nickel as SPC8516US15, Flat Black as SPC851619, Satin Brass as SPC85164, and French Antique as SPC85167.
10) Can a dutch door bolt be electrified or tied into an access control system?
Not the Emtek 8516. It is a mechanical bolt with no electronic option, thrown and retracted by hand at the door. If the two leaves have to be joined and released electrically, this is the wrong part and you need an electrified solution instead.
