Emtek 86149-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 86149 extended strike plate work with an F20 or F13 mortise lock?
That is exactly the lock it is cut for. Emtek lists the 86149 brass extended strike as the replacement part for F20 and F13 mortise entrance locksets, and it is the same strike Emtek supplies with those mortise locks when it is asked for at time of order. The plate is 2-1/2 inches wide by 4-7/8 inches high and comes with the understrike and mounting screws.
2) What strike plate replaces the Emtek 86149 if the door has a deadbolt bore instead of an F20 or F13 mortise lock?
The Emtek 86149 is an extended strike measuring 2-1/2 inches wide by 4-7/8 inches high, sized for the F20 and F13 mortise entrance locksets it services, so it does not suit a door prepped for a separate deadbolt. For a deadbolt bore, the Deltana SP2753 is a deadbolt strike plate in steel measuring 2-3/4 by 1-1/4 inches, and the Kwikset 80318 Full Round Adjustable Strike is also a deadbolt strike plate. Check the existing mortise in the jamb before ordering: a deadbolt strike is a short plate that sits at the bolt only, while the 86149 covers a tall mortise lock face.
3) What is the understrike included with the Emtek 86149, and do I have to install it?
The understrike, or underplate, is the second plate that sits behind the visible brass strike inside the routed jamb pocket. It backs up the bolt so it throws against metal rather than bare wood and it closes off the cutout behind the face plate. Emtek packs it with the 86149 along with the screws, so the strike ships as a complete assembly and there is no separate underplate to order.
4) What do I need besides the Emtek 86149 to swap out a strike plate on a mortise lockset?
Nothing else for the strike itself. The 86149 arrives as the brass face plate, the understrike and the screws to mount it. The jamb is the part to check first: the plate covers 2-1/2 inches wide by 4-7/8 inches high, so if the existing mortise in the jamb or the old plate outline is smaller than that, the jamb gets chiseled out to the new plate before it will sit flush.
5) What finishes does the Emtek 86149 strike plate come in, and how do I match it to my existing door hardware?
Eleven finishes: Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Order the strike in the same finish code that is on the mortise lockset and trim already hung on the door, and the jamb will read as one set. If you are keeping a building on one finish, the code is the thing to record, not the finish name.
6) Is the Emtek 86149 strike plate meant for residential or commercial openings?
Residential is what Emtek specifies for the 86149, and it goes with the F20 and F13 mortise entrance locksets used on house and apartment entry doors. A commercial frame prepped for an ASA strike takes a different part altogether. The Codelocks ASA Strike Plate in stainless steel is the one made for that prep.
7) My Emtek mortise lock came without a strike plate. Can I order the 86149 separately?
Yes, it is sold as a standalone replacement part. Emtek includes this strike with the F20 and F13 mortise locksets only when it is requested with the lock order, so a lock that arrived without one takes the 86149 ordered on its own. Match the finish code to the lockset, and expect the understrike and screws in the same box.
8) I searched for a strike dust box and found the Emtek 86149. Is that the same thing?
They are different parts. The Emtek 86149 is the brass strike plate itself, the face you see on the jamb, supplied with an underplate and screws for F20 and F13 mortise entrance locksets. A dust box is the metal cup that lines the hole behind the strike so the bolt does not bottom out on splinters or drywall. If the dust box is what the job calls for, the Kwikset 81231-001 is a metal strike dust box, and the Kwikset 81640 is a strike box, both deadbolt strike plate components.
9) The latch will not catch because the jamb has settled. Is there an adjustable strike instead of the Emtek 86149?
The Emtek 86149 is a fixed brass plate at 2-1/2 inches wide by 4-7/8 inches high, so alignment is corrected by moving the mortise rather than by the plate. Where an adjustable strike suits the opening, the Kwikset 81825 is a 6 way adjustable deadlatch and the Kwikset 80318 is a full round adjustable strike, both deadbolt strike plate parts. Those adjust at a bored or cylindrical prep; a door running an F20 or F13 mortise entrance lockset still takes the mortise lock strike.
10) Which extended strike plate matches an oil rubbed bronze or flat black lockset, and which comparable strikes come in a single finish?
The Emtek 86149 extended strike is offered in eleven finishes, including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Flat Black US19, and Unlacquered Brass US3NL, so the jamb plate can be ordered to match the trim on the door. Among the comparable strikes, the Codelocks ASA Strike Plate is supplied in a stainless steel finish and the Deltana SP2753 deadbolt strike is steel. On an opening where the strike is visible next to decorative trim, that difference decides whether the plate blends in or reads as a service part.
11) What strike do I use on a Codelocks lock rather than the Emtek 86149?
Order the Codelocks ASA Strike Plate, which is the strike from the ASA Strike Plate series and comes in a stainless steel finish. The Emtek 86149 is cut for Emtek F20 and F13 mortise entrance locksets and is a brass plate supplied with an underplate and screws, so it follows the Emtek mortise lock prep rather than an ASA profile. Confirm which prep is already cut in the jamb before ordering either one, since the two mortises are not the same shape.
12) Should I get the Emtek 86149 in Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) or Polished Brass Lifetime (US3)?
Both plates are solid brass; the coating is the difference. US3NL is left bare, so it darkens and patinas as it is handled and weathers, which is the point when the rest of the entry trim is living brass. US3 is the Lifetime polished brass, coated to hold its shine and stay bright. The strike sits inches from the lockset in the jamb, so the safe call is whichever code the lockset carries.
13) Can I drop a smaller deadbolt strike into the mortise left by an Emtek 86149 extended strike?
The mortise for the Emtek 86149 is cut for a plate 2-1/2 inches wide by 4-7/8 inches high. A deadbolt strike such as the Deltana SP2753 at 2-3/4 by 1-1/4 inches covers a fraction of that height, so the old mortise would show above and below the new plate and the screw holes would land in open air. Where the mortise lock is staying, replace like for like with the extended strike; where the lock is being changed to a deadbolt prep, plan on filling and recutting the jamb or using a jamb repair plate over the opening.
14) For a residential entry door, which of these strikes is the decorative plate and which are back-of-jamb hardware?
The Emtek 86149 is the visible brass plate on the jamb face, a residential replacement part sized 2-1/2 by 4-7/8 inches and supplied with its underplate and screws. The Kwikset 81640 strike box and the Kwikset 81231-001 metal strike dust box are pocket hardware that sits behind the jamb face and is not seen once the door is hung. The Deltana SP2753 deadbolt strike and the Kwikset 80318 full round adjustable strike are visible plates, but at the deadbolt only. Knowing which of the three roles the missing part fills keeps the order to one line.
