Emtek 8513US7 Surface Bolt 18 Inch French Antique Brass

Product Description

The EMTEK 8513US7 is an 18-inch surface bolt designed for securing doors, gates, and cabinet panels without requiring a mortise cut. The bolt mounts directly to the face of the door stile and slides into one of three included strike plates, giving installers flexibility in strike placement. Finished in French Antique Brass, the hardware delivers a warm, aged appearance suited to traditional and transitional interior applications. At 0.8 pounds, the assembly is lightweight but solid enough for consistent residential use. Carpenters, finish contractors, and door hardware installers handle this type of fitting as part of a complete door prep scope.

Surface bolts of this type are used on paired French doors, barn-style passage doors, exterior gates, and closet bi-fold or double-door configurations. The French Antique Brass finish is well suited to interior residential installations where period-appropriate or transitional hardware is specified. The three included strike plates allow the bolt to be aligned to the door frame, floor, or header depending on the orientation of the installation. Sold individually as a single assembly.

Installation Notes

Surface bolts are typically installed by finish carpenters or door hardware contractors using basic hand tools including a drill, screwdriver, and level. Mount the bolt body to the door stile first, then use the bolt in the extended position to mark the correct strike location on the frame, header, or floor. Ensure all fasteners are driven into solid wood substrate for secure engagement. Verify door alignment before finalizing strike placement.
