Baldwin Estate 8208 Adjustable Deadbolt Latch for Single Cylinder

One part covers both. The 8208 latch adjusts from a 2-3/8 inch to a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into either of the two standard residential bore preps without ordering a different latch. Handy if you're replacing a bolt and haven't measured the door yet, or if you're carrying one part across a building where the preps aren't consistent.

The 8208 throws a full 1 inch bolt. That's the deep-throw dimension a residential deadbolt strike and jamb are normally bored for, so it will project into a standard strike pocket. Measure the depth of the existing pocket in the jamb before you swap; a strike mortised for a shorter bolt won't take the full inch of projection without being deepened.

Just the latch. The 8208 is the bolt assembly that goes in the edge bore of the door, sold for use with a single cylinder deadbolt. You still need the deadbolt itself, the cylinder and the thumbturn side, plus a strike if you're not reusing the one in the jamb. Order it as a replacement or service part, not as a complete lock.

Yes. The front on the 8208 is adjustable for beveled door conditions, so the faceplate can be set to sit flat against a beveled edge instead of standing proud on one side. That's the detail that keeps the bolt aligned with the strike on a beveled entry door rather than binding.

No. The 8208 is the single cylinder latch, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. If you have a double cylinder deadbolt (keyed both sides, common on doors with glass within reach of the bolt), that takes a different latch. Check the function of the bolt you're servicing before ordering.

Three: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and 190 Satin Black. Match the latch finish to the deadbolt you're pairing it with, since the faceplate is the only part of the latch that shows once the door is shut, and it sits on the door edge next to the strike.

It's a residential part. The 8208 belongs to Baldwin's Estate Series and is catalogued for residential use, so it suits single family homes, condos and the residential side of a multi-family portfolio. For a commercial opening with a graded requirement on the drawing, spec a commercial deadbolt line instead of a residential bolt.

For the single cylinder Estate deadbolts, yes, that's what the adjustable backset is for. One 8208 covers doors prepped at 2-3/8 inches and doors prepped at 2-3/4 inches, and the adjustable front handles the beveled edges, so a single part number services a mixed set of openings. Keep one per finish you have in the building rather than one per door prep.

The bolt carries a hardened steel insert, a free-spinning saw-resistant core that keeps a blade from cutting through the bolt where it crosses the gap between door and jamb. That's an anti-tamper feature on the bolt itself, separate from whatever the cylinder and strike screws are doing.
