Emtek 8511US7 Surface Bolt 6 in 3 Strikes French Antique Brass

Product Description

The EMTEK 8511US7 is a 6-inch surface bolt finished in French Antique Brass, designed to provide secondary latching and security for doors, gates, and shutters. The bolt mounts directly to the face of a door or frame and includes three strike plates, giving installers flexibility in strike placement across a range of door and frame configurations. At 0.65 pounds, the hardware is solid enough for reliable daily operation without adding excessive weight to the door assembly. This type of surface bolt is a standard fixture in residential and light commercial door hardware installations, typically handled by carpenters, finish contractors, or experienced DIYers.

The 8511US7 is suited for interior and exterior door applications where a flush bolt or mortise solution is not practical or desirable. Common install scenarios include French doors, double doors, barn doors, and cabinet closures where one panel needs to be held fixed. The French Antique Brass finish coordinates with traditional, transitional, and vintage-style hardware suites. The inclusion of three strikes in the package reduces the need to source additional hardware for multi-point or adjustable-position installations.

Installation Notes

Surface bolts are installed by carpenters or finish hardware contractors using basic hand tools — a drill, screwdriver, and level are typically sufficient. Mount the bolt body to the door face first, then close the door to mark the correct strike location on the frame or floor. Ensure fasteners are driven into solid wood or blocking for a secure mount. No electrical shutoff or special code compliance is required for standard door hardware installation, though local building codes should be confirmed for any egress or accessible-route doors.
