Emtek 86087-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Emtek 86087 T-Strike used for?
The T-Strike is designed for mortise locksets where the latch bolt needs to retract into the strike plate. It provides secure engagement for residential and light commercial doors.
2) Are the corners actually square on this strike plate?
Yes, this model features square corners rather than rounded corners. This provides a clean, modern appearance and precise fit in square mortises.
3) Which Emtek mortise locks is this strike compatible with?
This T-Strike works with most Emtek mortise locksets. Verify your specific lock model's latch bolt dimensions against the strike opening before ordering.
4) What door frame thickness does this strike accommodate?
Standard T-strikes typically fit frames from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick. Check your frame depth and consult the manufacturer's template for exact specifications.
5) What finish options are available for this strike plate?
Emtek typically offers multiple finish options to match their locksets. Popular choices include satin nickel, polished brass, and oil rubbed bronze. Confirm available finishes when ordering.
6) How deep should I mortise the frame for installation?
Mortise depth should match the strike plate thickness so it sits flush with the frame face. Use the manufacturer's template for precise mortise dimensions and screw hole locations.
7) What tools do I need to install this T-Strike?
You'll need a drill, appropriate drill bits, chisel, router or Dremel tool for mortising, screwdriver, and the manufacturer's installation template for accurate placement.
8) Are mounting screws included with the strike plate?
Most Emtek strikes include appropriate mounting screws. Check the product packaging to confirm all necessary hardware is included before beginning installation.
9) How do I adjust the strike if the door doesn't latch properly?
Minor adjustments can be made by filing the strike opening slightly. For major misalignment, reposition the entire strike plate. Check door alignment and hinge adjustment first.
10) Can this strike be used on exterior doors?
Yes, when paired with appropriate mortise locksets and proper weather sealing. Ensure the finish is suitable for exterior exposure and local climate conditions.
11) What are the standard dimensions for this T-Strike?
Standard T-strikes are typically 4-7/8" tall by 1-1/4" wide. Verify exact dimensions from the manufacturer's specifications to ensure proper fit with your door frame.
