Emtek 86085US3NL Full Lip Strike Unlacquered Brass

Product Description

The EMTEK 86085US3NL is a full lip strike plate designed for use with passage, privacy, and key-in locksets. Finished in unlacquered brass, it features a 1/4 inch radius corner profile and installs into the door jamb to receive and secure the latch bolt during door closure. The plate measures 2.25 inches in length by 1.75 inches in width with a 0.25 inch height, making it a low-profile hardware component suited to standard residential and light commercial door frames. Installation requires no special tooling beyond a chisel and screwdriver. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters typically handle this work during door hardware rough-in or replacement service.

This strike plate is appropriate for interior and exterior door applications where passage, privacy, or key-in cylinder sets are installed. It is commonly used during new construction, remodel, or hardware upgrade projects on wood or composite door jambs. The unlacquered brass finish will develop a natural patina over time, which is characteristic of living finishes and should be considered when specifying for the application.

Installation Notes

Strike plates are typically installed by carpenters, finish tradespeople, or licensed locksmiths during door hardware installation or replacement. Before beginning work, ensure the door and frame assembly is stable and that no active locking hardware is under load. A sharp chisel is required to mortise the jamb to the correct depth for a flush fit. Verify latch bolt alignment with the strike pocket before fastening to avoid misalignment that can cause latching failures.
