Baldwin 8021003 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 8021 deadbolt fit my door if the existing hole is bored at a 2-3/8 inch backset?
Yes. The Estate 8021 deadbolt ships with an adjustable latch that sets to either a 2-3/8 inch or a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into either of the two standard bore layouts without a separate part. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bolt hole and set the latch to match.
2) Is a double cylinder deadbolt like the Baldwin 8021 the right choice, or should I use a single cylinder?
The 8021 is keyed on both sides, no thumbturn. That is the one to use when there is glass in or beside the door, because breaking the glass and reaching through does not get anyone the bolt. The tradeoff is you need a key to get out, which many jurisdictions restrict on a required exit door in a dwelling. If you want key outside and turn inside, choose a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt such as the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc Deadbolt's single cylinder companion category, or in Baldwin terms the single cylinder version of the same Estate trim.
3) Can I key the Baldwin 8021 deadbolt to match the other locks in my house?
The 8021 uses Baldwin's C keyway and can be ordered keyed alike, so several of them will run on one key. Order keyed different if each opening needs its own key. If you are matching an existing key, give the key code at the time of order. Baldwin C keyway locks key together with each other; they will not accept a Schlage C cylinder, so a house already on Schlage C needs the cylinders rekeyed rather than mixed.
4) Is the Baldwin Estate 8021 deadbolt suitable for a commercial building or an apartment building corridor door?
The 8021 is a residential deadbolt. For a commercial opening, a multi-family common door, or anything on a fire rated frame, go to a graded commercial unit instead: the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the 8021 on houses, condo unit entries, and high-end residential doors where the finish and the trim design matter.
5) What is the closest double cylinder deadbolt to the Baldwin Estate 8021 if I need an ANSI Grade 1 rating for a commercial opening?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 is a residential-duty double cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset. When the specification calls for Grade 1 in a double cylinder configuration, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt rated extra heavy duty for 1-3/4" doors, and the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder is Grade 1 for doors from 1-3/8" to 1-7/8". The Design Hardware D1 fixes at a single door thickness while the Dexter DB1000 covers a thickness range, so pick by the door you are boring.
6) I need a keyed deadbolt with a thumbturn inside instead of a key on both sides - what takes the place of the Baldwin Estate 8021?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 is a double cylinder deadbolt, keyed on both the outside and the inside. Where egress or code requires a thumbturn on the interior, cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts include the Dexter DB2000 Series single cylinder, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", and the Emtek #11 Tuscany lost wax cast bronze deadbolt for a decorative cast finish. For a traditional round trim closer to the Baldwin's traditional design, the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn.
7) Which double cylinder deadbolt should I standardize on across a building if I am replacing Baldwin Estate 8021 units on interior fire doors?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 is a residential entry deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset. Where a fire rating is required, the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with a fire rating and a Schlage C keyway, sized for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch in single cylinder. The Hager keeps the double cylinder function and the C keyway the Baldwin uses; the Cal-Royal changes the interior to a thumbturn.
8) I need a deadbolt for an aluminum storefront or glass front door - is the Baldwin Estate 8021 the right part?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 is a bored deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset for a standard door prep. Storefront and narrow stile openings usually take a mortise deadlock instead: the International Door Closers DH-1821 is a hook bolt deadlock with a flat faceplate, the DT-1851 is a long throw deadlatch lock, and the Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt is a cylinder x turn keyed different with SC keyways. The hook bolt is the one specified where a sliding or narrow stile door needs the bolt to resist being spread.
9) Which deadbolt takes a small format interchangeable core if we key our own cylinders, rather than the C-keyway Baldwin Estate 8021?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 ships with a C-keyway cylinder. For an SFIC prep, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt for interchangeable core, non-cylinder, with a 2-3/4" backset. The Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt. All three arrive without a core so your locksmith installs the facility's own.
10) Does the Baldwin Estate 8021 deadbolt need to be ordered by hand, left or right?
No handing to specify. The 8021 is reversible, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door. Handing only matters here for which face you want the exterior trim on, and since both sides are keyed the two faces are the same anyway.
11) What finishes does the Baldwin 8021 Traditional deadbolt come in?
Four: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and 190 Satin Black. The two brasses behave differently in service. 003 is a PVD coating that holds its shine on a weather exposed door; 031 is left bare so it darkens and patinas over time, which is what you want if you are matching aged brass elsewhere on the house and what you do not want if the owner expects it to stay bright.
12) What is a cheaper double cylinder deadbolt than the Baldwin Estate 8021 for a rental unit?
For units where the trim design is not the point, look at the Callan Model 210S, a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, the Delaney LU Series double cylinder in stainless steel US32D, or the Dexter DB2000 Series Grade 2 double cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Estate 8021 earns its place where the door is seen: solid brass cylinder guard, Traditional trim, and finishes like non-lacquered brass that a builder-grade bolt does not offer.
13) Will the Baldwin 8021 deadbolt hold up to someone kicking the door, and does it come with a strike?
A reinforcing strike made of high grade steel is part of the 8021, and the bolt case is formed from heavy gauge steel. The strike is the part that decides a kick-in, so fasten it into the framing with long screws, not just the jamb trim. The cylinder is shielded by a free-turning solid brass guard, which spins under a wrench rather than letting the cylinder twist out.
14) Does the Baldwin 8021 lock the door handle too, or do I still need a knob or lever?
Deadbolt only. The 8021 throws a bolt and nothing else, so the opening still needs a knob, lever, or handleset to latch the door shut and to pull it. Order that trim separately in the same finish. If you would rather have one unit doing both, an interconnected lock such as the Falcon H2101 combines an entrance lockset and a deadbolt in a single device.
15) I want a deadbolt with a squared or contemporary trim instead of the traditional Baldwin Estate 8021 - what are my options?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 is a traditional design deadbolt. For a squared or contemporary face, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt and the Bravura 310RC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary round, both cylinder x thumbturn. The Brinks Mendocino Series is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset, and the Callan 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt. All four are single cylinder, so the interior becomes a thumbturn rather than the Baldwin's second keyed cylinder.
16) Can I use the Arrow 460 or the BEST 8T in place of the Baldwin Estate 8021 deadbolt?
No - neither is a complete deadbolt. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip, which is the strike side of an opening, not the lock. The BEST 8T is the tubular deadbolt tube component of the T Series, a part of an assembly rather than a finished lock. The Baldwin Estate 8021 is a complete double cylinder deadbolt supplied with a reinforcing strike of high grade steel.
17) What is an alternative to the Baldwin Estate 8021 if I want keypad or electronic access rather than a key on both sides?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 is a mechanical double cylinder deadbolt keyed on both faces. For coded or credentialed access, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel rated medium duty, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. The Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override if you want a mechanical code lock that still accepts a key.
18) What double cylinder deadbolt comes in a stainless or chrome finish rather than the brass and bronze finishes of the Baldwin Estate 8021?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 comes in Polished Brass PVD, Non-Lacquered Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Satin Black. For a brushed metal look in the same double cylinder function, the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt in Stainless Steel (US32D). If a single cylinder is acceptable, the Delaney LM Series is Grade 1 less core in Dull Chrome (US26D), which suits a facility already stocking interchangeable cores.
19) What can I use instead of the Baldwin Estate 8021 if the door already has a keyed lockset and I only need an interior thumbturn?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 is keyed on both sides. When no exterior key is wanted, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". The Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, which bores only partway through and suits a door where nothing should appear on the outside face.
20) Is the Falcon H2101 an alternative to the Baldwin Estate 8021 for an apartment entry door?
They solve the entry differently. The Baldwin Estate 8021 is a standalone double cylinder deadbolt, so the door still needs a separate knob or lever. The Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt, combining the deadbolt and the latch so one motion of the interior lever retracts both. The H2101 is single cylinder, so the inside of the deadbolt is a thumbturn rather than a second keyed cylinder.
21) What is a simpler single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset like the Baldwin Estate 8021?
The Baldwin Estate 8021 has an adjustable 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset, so it fits either standard bore. Single cylinder deadbolts with an adjustable backset include the Cal-Royal ED500, Grade 3 for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, and the Brinks Raleigh Series, a transitional round single cylinder with a 4-way adjustable backset. For an ADA ergonomic thumbturn, the Cal-Royal LSD is Grade 3 for the same 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" range.
22) Is the Emtek 8323 Disc deadbolt a match for the Baldwin Estate 8021?
Both are double cylinder deadbolts in solid brass trim, so the function is the same on both faces. The difference is the face: the Emtek 8323 is a modern disc rose, while the Baldwin Estate 8021 is a traditional design available in Polished Brass PVD, Non-Lacquered Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Satin Black. Choose by which rose matches the rest of the door hardware, since the keyed-both-sides operation is identical.
