Handing - Tubular locksets are only handed when you
choose certain levers. Mortise entry locksets are handed
regardless of interior options.

2.
Door Swing - The lock box is manufactured so auxiliary latch is setup for the
swing of the door. Choosing the correct swing of your door is
important as the auxiliary latch will not allow the door to
close if it is manufactured for incorrect door swing.

3.
Backset - If you are replacing an existing mortise
lock box, choose the backset (2-1/2" or 2-3/4") that matches
your present application. If this is a new installation and the
door has not been cut-out and drilled the backset depends on the
width of your door style. In most cases a 2-1/2" backset mortise
lockset will work fine.
The cut-out depth for a
2-1/2" backset lockbox is 3-1/4". The
cut-out depth for a 2-3/4" backset lockbox is 3-1/2".

Door Thickness - Selecting your correct door
thickness is important. Emtek's mortise handlesets are manufactured to work with doors ranging 1-3/4" to 2", 2" to
2-1/4", or 2-1/4 to 2-3/4" thick.
