Emtek 8512MB Surface Bolt 12 in Medium Bronze 3 Strikes

Product Description

The EMTEK 8512MB is a 12-inch surface bolt finished in medium bronze, designed to secure doors, gates, and shutters at the surface level without a mortise cut. The bolt slides into one of three included strike plates, providing flexible throw-point positioning during installation. At 0.4 pounds, the unit is lightweight but constructed for reliable daily operation. This type of hardware is typically installed by finish carpenters, door and hardware specialists, or skilled tradespeople working on residential or light commercial door applications.

The 8512MB suits residential and light commercial applications where a surface-mounted sliding bolt is needed on entry doors, interior doors, french doors, shutters, or gates. The medium bronze finish coordinates with complementary door hardware in bronze and oil-rubbed finish families. Three included strike plates allow the installer to choose the bolt throw position that best fits the door frame or jamb configuration on site.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or experienced hardware installer using basic hand tools including a drill, screwdriver, and level. Power down any associated electric strike or access control hardware before beginning work on the door assembly. Ensure the door and frame are square and plumb before locating strike plate position to guarantee smooth bolt operation. Follow applicable local building codes when installing security hardware on egress doors.
