Product Technologies:

  • Solid Brass Construction: This product begins with raw bars of solid brass which are heated, and pounded into specially made dies; producing a stronger, more substantial product. The difference between lesser metals and heat forged brass is noticeable the minute you hold it in your hands. Solid brass is heavier, smoother, and naturally resists corrosion.

Emtek 2270-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much clearance do I need behind the door for the Emtek 2270 cabinet latch?
The 2270 brass cabinet latch projects 1-3/8 inches, so the mechanism needs that much depth clear of the door face on the cabinet interior. Overall footprint on the door is 2-1/8 inches wide by 2-1/4 inches high, with the case itself 1-9/16 inches wide. On shallow face-frame cabinets or a door that swings past a nearby wall or appliance, measure the swing arc against that 1-3/8 inch projection before you drill.
2) Do I need to buy screws or a separate strike for the Emtek 2270 cabinet latch?
No, the mounting hardware ships with the latch, and the strike is part of the set. The strike measures 9/16 inch wide, so you need that much flat, uninterrupted surface on the face frame or the adjoining door stile to land it. Nothing else is required to complete the install.
3) Is a Trimco 802 or 804 cabinet catch a substitute for the Emtek 2270 cabinet latch?
They solve the same problem differently and are not interchangeable. The Emtek 2270 is a surface cabinet latch in brass, 2 inches by 2-1/4 inches, with a case width of 1-9/16 inches, a 9/16 inch strike and 1-3/8 inch projection, operated by hand to hold the door shut. The Trimco 802 and 804 are 3-way cabinet catches, which hold a door closed by friction or spring pressure when it is pushed to and release when it is pulled, with no lever or handle to throw. If the cabinet needs a visible piece of decorative hardware that the user actuates, the 2270 is the part; if you only need the door to stay shut and the pull is separate hardware, a catch does that job.
4) What finishes does the Emtek 2270 cabinet latch come in?
Ten finishes, and they cover the usual kitchen and bath palettes: 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). Ordering codes run 2270 plus the US number, so Satin Nickel is 2270US15. Unlacquered Brass is the one to think about twice: it is left uncoated and will patina with handling, which is the point if you are matching aged brass elsewhere and a problem if you want it to stay bright. Polished Brass Lifetime is the coated version that holds its shine.
5) Is the Emtek 2270 latch solid brass all the way through or brass plated?
Solid brass. Emtek forges it from raw brass bar stock heated and struck into dies rather than casting or plating a lesser base metal, which is why it has weight in the hand and resists corrosion on its own. Both the material and the substrate are brass. In a kitchen or bath where humidity cycles daily, that matters more than the finish name does.
6) Can I use the Emtek 2270 cabinet latch on commercial casework or office millwork?
It is built and specified as residential hardware, so it suits kitchens, baths, butler's pantries, built-ins, and high-end multi-family unit casework. For commercial MRO work with heavy daily cycling, or an institutional facility where you are standardizing on rated hardware, spec a commercial-rated cabinet latch instead. That does not rule out light-duty commercial use like a hospitality suite or a model unit, where the residential build is what you want visually anyway.
7) Will the Emtek 2270 latch match the rest of my Emtek door hardware?
It coordinates with Emtek's American Classic collection, so if the knobs, levers, and appurtenances in the room are from that family the 2270 falls in line with them in style and finish coding. The styling is traditional. Because Emtek uses the same US finish codes across lines, ordering the latch in the same US number as the passage and privacy sets on the doors keeps the room consistent, which is what most people are actually asking when they ask this.
8) Surface cabinet latch or a spring catch: which should I use on an inset cabinet door?
They solve different problems. The 2270 is a surface-mounted latch you operate deliberately, mounted on the face of the door with a strike on the frame, projecting 1-3/8 inches and reading as visible hardware, which is the point on a traditional inset door where the latch is part of the look. A concealed catch like the Trimco 802 and 804 3-way cabinet catches hides inside the cabinet and simply holds the door shut when you push it. Pick the 2270 when you want a period-correct latch you can see and grab; pick a hidden catch when you want the door face clean and the hardware invisible.
9) For a cabinet job that needs a decorative finish to match other hardware, does the Emtek 2270 or the Trimco 802/804 fit better?
The Emtek 2270 cabinet latch is the one specified when appearance matters. It is offered in ten finishes, including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Pewter US15A, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Polished Brass US3, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, Satin Brass US4, and French Antique US7, and it is a Traditional style piece in the American Classic theme, so it can be run to match knobs and pulls in the same finish across a kitchen or a millwork package. The Trimco 802 and 804 are 3-way cabinet catches, hardware that works from behind the door face rather than presenting a finished escutcheon to the room. Use the 2270 where the part is seen and the catch family where it is concealed.
10) What should be used on cabinet doors in a rental unit or commercial space instead of the Emtek 2270?
The Emtek 2270 brass cabinet latch is a residential part, so for a leased unit or a light commercial millwork run where the hardware is being handled constantly and nobody is matching a decorative package, a catch is the more common call. The Trimco 802 and 804 are 3-way cabinet catches, which hold the door closed without a user-operated lever and give tenants nothing to force or loosen. Keep the 2270 for owner-occupied kitchens, model units, and casework where the visible brass and its ten finishes are part of the design.
11) Is the Emtek 2270 an electronic or keyed cabinet lock?
Neither. The 2270 is a mechanical surface latch with no electronic component and no cylinder, so there is no keying, no wiring, and no power to plan for. If you need a cabinet secured against access rather than just held closed, this is not the part; look for a cabinet lock with a cylinder instead.
12) What is the correct Emtek part number to order a 2270 latch in Oil Rubbed Bronze?
Oil Rubbed Bronze is 2270US10B, catalogued as SPC2270US10B. The pattern holds across the range: model 2270 plus the US finish code, so Flat Black is 2270US19, Polished Nickel 2270US14, and Polished Chrome 2270US26. Size is 2 inches by 2-1/4 inches across every finish.
