Emtek 8516US15 Dutch Door Bolt Satin Nickel

Product Description

The EMTEK 8516US15 is a Dutch door bolt finished in satin nickel, designed to align and secure the top and bottom sections of a Dutch door. The bolt latches the two door sections together when full-door operation is needed, preventing independent movement of the panels. At 4 inches in nominal length, the unit measures 4.7 inches long by 2 inches wide by 1.6 inches tall and weighs 0.5 pounds. This hardware is typically installed by finish carpenters, door specialists, or experienced general contractors during new construction or door replacement projects.

Dutch door bolts are used on residential and light commercial Dutch doors, also called stable doors or half doors, where the upper and lower panels operate independently. The 8516US15 is mounted to the meeting rail of the door panels to draw both sections into alignment and hold them as a single unit. The satin nickel finish coordinates with a wide range of door hardware sets and is well suited for interior and exterior applications in kitchens, laundry rooms, and entryways.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or skilled general contractor. Power down any electronic access control or alarm circuits tied to the door before beginning work. Use a drill, screwdriver, and appropriate wood screws for the door material thickness. Verify that both door panels are plumb and properly aligned before marking and fastening the bolt to ensure smooth operation.
