Baldwin 8238003 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage deadbolt fit my existing door prep with a 2-3/8 inch backset?
Yes. The 8238 Bethpage deadbolt ships with an adjustable backset that sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into either of the two standard residential bore preps without a separate part. The strike measures 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inches, which is the common single-lip deadbolt strike footprint, so an existing jamb mortise usually takes it as-is.
2) Does a double cylinder deadbolt need a key on the inside, and is that a problem on a residence?
The 8238 Bethpage is keyed both sides, so there is no thumbturn. That is what people specify for a door with glass next to it or in it, since breaking the glass does not let someone reach the turn. The tradeoff is egress: everyone in the house has to know where the inside key is. If you want a turn on the interior, order a single cylinder deadbolt instead.
3) Can I key the Baldwin 8238 Bethpage to match my other Baldwin locks?
It uses the Baldwin C keyway, and you can order it keyed alike with other C keyway Baldwin cylinders or keyed different. There is also a field for an existing key code if you are adding to a set already on the property. Locks on a different keyway will not suite to it without rekeying.
4) Is the Baldwin Estate 8238 deadbolt suitable for a commercial opening or an apartment entry door?
Baldwin catalogs the Estate 8238 as residential. For a commercial entry, a multi-family corridor door, or anything on a code-governed opening, go with a graded commercial deadbolt instead, for example the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 double cylinder or the Dexter DB1000 Series Grade 1 double cylinder. The Estate line is aimed at high-end residential front doors where the trim appearance matters.
5) What is a commercial-grade double cylinder deadbolt alternative to the Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage?
The Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage is a residential double cylinder deadbolt. For an opening that needs a commercial-rated keyed-both-sides bolt, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch. The Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a Schlage C keyway, which matches the C-keyway cylinder on the 8238.
6) I need a thumbturn on the inside instead of a key - what should I order?
The Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage is keyed on both sides, so it is not the right choice where egress without a key is required. For a cylinder by thumbturn deadbolt instead, the Dexter DB1000 Series single cylinder is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Dexter DB2000 Series single cylinder is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw. Many jurisdictions restrict double cylinder deadbolts on required exit doors, so confirm local code before specifying keyed both sides.
7) Does the Baldwin Estate 8238 work on a fire rated opening?
The Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage is a residential Estate Series deadbolt. For fire rated openings, the Hager 3115 cylinder by thumbturn, Hager 3118 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt, and Hager 3214 double cylinder all carry a fire rating and fit doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.
8) Does the Bethpage 8238 deadbolt have a hand, and do I need to know my door swing?
No handing to specify. It is reversible, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door. Nothing to confirm on the swing before you order.
9) What are the closest double cylinder alternatives to the Baldwin 8238 if I need one on a thicker or heavier door?
A few in the same function. The Dexter DB1000 Series Grade 1 double cylinder covers 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors; the Dexter DB2000 Series Grade 2 covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4. The Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder rated 1-3/8 to 2 inches. The Delaney LU Series Grade 2 double cylinder comes in stainless steel US32D. None of these carry the Estate Series decorative trim, so if the look is driving the choice, they are not a match.
10) Is the strike on the Baldwin 8238 strong enough for a front door, or do I need a separate reinforcer?
A reinforcing strike made of high-grade steel comes with it, and the deadbolt case itself is heavy gauge steel. You do not need to buy a separate strike box for a standard wood jamb, though long screws into the stud framing are still the right call on any exterior door.
11) Can I use the Baldwin 8238 as the only lock on the door, or do I need a knob or lever too?
It is a deadbolt only, an entrance function bored lock with no latch and no handle. The door still needs a passage or entry knob/lever set to hold it closed and to pull it open. If you would rather have the bolt and the handle operate together from one lock, an interconnected set such as the Falcon H2101 Grade 2 entrance lock with single cylinder deadbolt does that in one unit.
12) Is there a plainer double cylinder deadbolt if I do not need the decorative Estate trim?
Yes. The Baldwin Estate 8238 carries the Bethpage decorative design in a Polished Brass PVD finish. Where trim appearance is not a factor, the Callan Model 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder in stainless steel US32D, and the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder that covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick.
13) My door is thicker than standard - which deadbolt covers a 2 inch door?
The Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage handles 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors with a thick door service part kit ordered above the standard 1-3/8 to 2 inch range. If you prefer a lock that spans the range without an added kit, the Deltana 7312KA2 double cylinder deadbolt lists a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
14) Which decorative deadbolts are closest in style to the Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage?
The Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage is a designed-trim deadbolt in the Estate Series with a Polished Brass PVD finish. For a comparable decorative look, the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc deadbolt is a brass double cylinder, the Emtek #11 Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze cylinder by thumbturn deadbolt, and the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt. Only the Emtek 8323 matches the keyed-both-sides function of the 8238.
15) Can I use a mortise or deadlatch lock in place of the Baldwin 8238 deadbolt?
No, those are different preps. The Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage is a bored tubular deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inch strike. The Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch and need a mortise pocket, and the International Door Closers DL-4511 deadlatch and DH-1821 hook bolt deadlock are narrow-stile style locks with a flat faceplate. None of them drop into a standard bored deadbolt hole.
16) What deadbolt should I use if the building standardizes on interchangeable cores?
The Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage uses a C-keyway cylinder and is ordered keyed alike or keyed different. If your keying program runs on interchangeable cores instead, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset supplied less cylinder, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D.
17) What finish does the Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage deadbolt come in?
Polished Brass PVD, Baldwin finish code 003. PVD is a plated finish rather than a lacquer, which is what you want on an exterior door exposed to weather and handling.
18) Is there a keypad or electronic option instead of keying both sides like the Baldwin 8238?
The Baldwin Estate 8238 Bethpage is a mechanical double cylinder deadbolt with a C-keyway. If you would rather manage access by code or credential, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override.
