Emtek Keyed Entry Side
Plates are custom manufactured to your order and are NOT
RETURNABLE. If you have any questions
at all, we urge you to call us toll free at 877-660-5625
What are Side Plates
- Emtek keyed entry Side Plates are
reproductions representing the dimensions of the hardware from
the period they were originally manufactured and used. Careful
preparation must be taken on modern doors to utilize keyed entry
side plates because today's standards have changed a bit from the period
of side plates.
Installation Requirements
- Two holes 2 1/8" are required, one for
the deadbolt mechanism and one for the lever/knob. These two holes
MUST be spaced 5 1/2" from center to center (see Fig. 1 below). Each
hole is standard door prep (see Fig. 2 below). If
your door is already drilled and the two holes measure anything other
than 5 1/2" from center to center, then keyed entry side plates WILL
NOT WORK for you. If you are
purchasing non-keyed entry side plates (passage, privacy, or patio
functions), don't let this scare you because only
one hole is required for non-keyed entry side plates so there are no
spacing requirements.
If you are custom ordering new doors
you can provide the vendor or your builder with the below
drilling specifications in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. You must take great care
in your communication with the builder or door manufacturer because our
experience is, there is frequently a lack of communication between the
home owner and the builder or door manufacturer and the doors are
delivered drilled for modern ANSI standards. This leaves you with door
hardware that will not work with your new doors.
At the time you place your order, you will be asked to verify that your
doors meet the installation requirements for this product, as per Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 below,
and that you understand the Emtek Product Return Policy.
If not verified, your order will be delayed until we receive
e-mail confirmation that your bore dimensions are correct for this product. It
is important that you accurately measure the below dimensions on your
door. Guessing or assumptions will only cause you delays and cost you
unnecessary money if you receive your keyed side plate only to discover existing
dimensions on your door are not correct for the product.
