This guide provides the necessary steps to install the Emtek Stretto 1.5x5 Passage door hardware. The process involves preparing the door and jamb, installing the latch mechanism, mounting the strike plate, and attaching the interior and exterior trim handles.
Door Preparation
Before installation, ensure the door is prepared according to the following specifications:
- Edge Bore: Drill a 1-inch diameter hole into the edge of the door.
- Face Bore: Drill a 1-1/4 inch diameter hole through the face of the door.
- Backset: The distance from the edge of the door to the center of the face bore should be either 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches.
- Depth: The edge bore should be 2-1/4 inches deep.
Door Jamb Preparation
The strike plate installation requires precise alignment on the door jamb. Use the strike plate outline to locate the screw holes, ensuring the center line aligns with the jamb. Note that dimensions B and C in the provided reference table are for guidance only, as actual door jamb prep dimensions may vary due to tolerances.
Installation Steps
1. Install Latch
Insert the latch mechanism into the edge bore hole. Ensure it is oriented correctly and secured flush with the door edge.
2. Install Strike Plate
Position the strike plate on the door jamb. Secure it firmly using the provided #8 wood screws.
3. Install Outside and Inside Trims
Attach the outside and inside trim handles. Note that the specific installation method for the handles may vary depending on the style of the hardware. Ensure all screws are tightened securely to complete the assembly.
