Emtek 8513US15 Surface Bolt 18 Inch Satin Nickel 3 Strikes

Product Description

The EMTEK 8513US15 is an 18-inch surface bolt designed for door security and access control in residential and light commercial applications. The bolt mounts directly to the surface of a door or gate and engages three strike plates for a secure hold across the full length of the bolt. Finished in Satin Nickel (US15), it provides a clean, low-sheen appearance that works across a range of interior and exterior door styles. At 0.7 pounds, the unit is lightweight enough for single-person installation without special support hardware.

This surface bolt is suited for entry doors, French doors, barn doors, and similar applications where a traditional mortise lock is not practical or desired. The three-strike configuration distributes the locking load along the bolt travel, making it a reliable choice for taller door panels or gates where a single strike would leave the bolt unsupported at mid-span. Installers working on residential renovation and new construction projects will find this bolt a straightforward fit for standard door thickness applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, door hardware installer, or knowledgeable DIYer using basic hand tools. Mark and pre-drill pilot holes before fastening to prevent wood splitting or surface damage. Position all three strikes carefully along the bolt travel path before final fastening to ensure smooth operation. Follow local building codes for door hardware requirements on egress doors.
