Emtek 8523-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door thicknesses work with the Emtek 8523 Modern Disc deadbolt?
Standard door thickness is 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Check manufacturer specifications for exact compatibility. Verify your door thickness before ordering.
2) How do I determine left or right hand orientation for this deadbolt?
Stand outside the door. If hinges are on your right, it's right-handed. If hinges are on your left, it's left-handed. Most deadbolts are reversible during installation.
3) What backset does the Emtek 8523 require?
Standard backsets are 2-3/8" or 2-3/4". Measure from door edge to center of existing bore hole. Most Emtek deadbolts accommodate both backsets with adjustable components.
4) Is this deadbolt single-sided only?
Yes, the 8523 is single-sided with exterior disc trim only. Interior side typically has thumb turn operation. Ideal for residential entrance doors where decorative exterior appearance is priority.
5) What bore hole size is needed for installation?
Standard bore is 2-1/8" diameter. Edge bore is typically 1" diameter. Use proper hole saw bits and drill perpendicular to door face for clean installation.
6) Can this deadbolt be rekeyed to match existing keys?
Most Emtek deadbolts can be rekeyed by qualified locksmiths. Contact local locksmith to confirm compatibility with your existing key system before installation.
7) What grade rating does this deadbolt have?
Check product specifications for ANSI grade rating. Grade 1 offers highest security for commercial use. Grade 2 suits most residential applications. Verify rating meets your security requirements.
8) Are strike plates and screws included?
Complete deadbolt sets typically include strike plate, mounting screws, and installation hardware. Verify contents before installation. Use provided long screws for maximum security.
9) How do I maintain the brass finish?
Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Apply brass cleaner periodically for lacquered finishes. Unlacquered brass will patina naturally over time.
10) Can this deadbolt work with existing door prep?
Most standard door prep works if bore size and backset match. Check existing holes against specifications. Minor adjustments may be needed for optimal fit and operation.
