Andersen 8-1/2" Screw Holes Key Above Lever Emtek Trim

Replacement Handlesets for Andersen Multipoint Lock Doors

Andersen Frenchwood hinged patio doors use a specific multipoint lock configuration that requires precise handleset measurements for proper fit and function. MPLocks carries Emtek handlesets engineered to match these exact specifications, including the critical 8-1/2 inch thru-bolt center-to-center measurement and 105mm PZ (handle spacing). These aftermarket replacements offer homeowners and contractors a reliable solution when original Andersen hardware needs updating, whether due to wear, damage, or simply a desire for a fresh aesthetic. The American cylinder design with key-above-lever positioning ensures seamless integration with existing Andersen multipoint lock mechanisms.

Quality Construction for Long-Term Performance

Each handleset in this collection is crafted from solid brass, providing durability and corrosion resistance that stands up to daily use on exterior patio doors. The Emtek and compatible designs include both keyed and non-keyed configurations, with options featuring thumbturn interior operation for convenient locking without a key. Available finishes include Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, and Polished Brass PVD, allowing you to match your existing door hardware or create a coordinated look throughout your home.

Left and Right Hand Door Configurations

Andersen hinged doors come in both left-hand and right-hand configurations, and selecting the correct handing is essential for proper installation. When determining your door's handing, view the door from the exterior—if the hinges are on the right side, you have a right-hand door. This collection includes handlesets for both configurations, as well as double door options for French door pairs, ensuring you can find the exact replacement for your specific installation.

Understanding the 8-1/2 Inch Screw Hole Measurement

The 8-1/2 inch screw hole spacing refers to the distance between the center of the top mounting screw and the center of the bottom mounting screw on the escutcheon plate. This measurement must match your door's existing hole pattern for the handleset to install correctly. The plates in this collection measure 2 inches wide by approximately 10-11 inches tall, fitting the standard Andersen Frenchwood door cutout. If you are unsure about your door's measurements, comparing your existing hardware or measuring the actual screw hole positions will confirm compatibility.
