Emtek 86086-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is an extended lip strike and how does it work?
An extended lip strike features a longer projection that extends further into the door frame. This provides better engagement with the door latch bolt and improved security. The extended lip helps guide the latch smoothly during closing.
2) What door types and frame materials work with this strike?
This strike works with wood and metal door frames. Compatible with standard residential and commercial doors. Verify frame thickness and mortise depth before installation. Works with most standard latch bolt configurations.
3) Does this work with both left and right hand doors?
Yes, this strike plate is universal and works with both left-hand and right-hand door installations. The extended lip design accommodates either swing direction when properly mortised into the frame.
4) What finish options are available for this strike?
Emtek offers multiple finish options to match your door hardware. Common finishes include brass, bronze, satin nickel, and oil rubbed bronze. Check product specifications for exact finish availability on this model.
5) What grade or security level does this strike provide?
This is a residential-grade strike plate suitable for standard security applications. For high-security or commercial grade requirements, verify with manufacturer specifications. The extended lip design provides enhanced engagement over standard strikes.
6) Are there building code considerations for extended lip strikes?
Most building codes accept standard strike plates without special requirements. For fire-rated doors or commercial applications, verify the strike meets applicable code standards. Check local codes for any specific strike plate requirements.
7) What hardware comes included with this strike?
Strike plate typically includes matching finish screws for installation. Verify package contents upon delivery. Some installations may require longer screws for additional security depending on frame construction.
8) How do I install an extended lip strike plate?
Mark strike location using door latch as guide. Mortise frame to proper depth for strike body. Drill pilot holes and fasten with provided screws. Test door operation and adjust mortise depth if needed for smooth operation.
9) Can I adjust the strike if the door doesn't latch properly?
Yes, adjust by deepening or shimming the mortise as needed. File the strike opening slightly if latch binds. For major misalignment, relocate the entire strike. Ensure the extended lip doesn't interfere with door closing.
10) What other Emtek strike options are available?
Emtek offers standard lip strikes, adjustable strikes, and heavy-duty options. Browse our Emtek hardware collection for compatible strikes and coordinating door hardware in matching finishes.
11) What are the key measurements I need for installation?
Measure your existing strike plate length and width. Note the backset distance from door edge to latch center. Verify frame mortise depth. Check manufacturer template for exact dimensions and drilling specifications before cutting.
