Baldwin Estate 8241 Contemporary 2-1/8" Patio Deadbolt

A 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face of the door, which is the standard residential deadbolt prep, plus the edge bore for the latch at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. If your door already carries a tubular deadbolt, the face hole is almost certainly the right size already and it is a straight swap.

Baldwin classes the Estate 8241 as residential, and the patio function locks it out of any opening someone has to enter with a key. For apartment entries, offices, or anything on a commercial spec, look at a graded commercial deadbolt instead: the Accentra D111 or the Delaney LM Series for Grade 1, or the Dexter DB2000 or Cal-Royal CB160 for Grade 2.

Non-keyed deadbolts are a narrow group. The Baldwin Estate 8241 is the residential one, brass, contemporary, with an inside turn piece and blank outside. On the commercial side the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, blank plate outside by thumbturn inside, fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. Same idea, very different look and duty: the Arrow suits a service or stair door, the Baldwin suits a house.

The Baldwin Estate 8241 is a patio-function deadbolt with a turn piece inside and no key cylinder, so the closest equivalent is another non-keyed deadlock rather than a single cylinder unit. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, with a blank plate outside and thumbturn inside, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Both give you inside-only throw with a plain exterior; the Arrow E60 carries a Grade 2 rating and a stated door thickness range, while the Baldwin is a brass residential unit in the Estate Series with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.

The Baldwin Estate 8241 is a residential brass deadbolt in the Estate Series. For a commercial opening where the specification calls out a grade, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, and the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both are cylinder x thumbturn, so they key from outside where the 8241 operates from the inside turn piece only.

Handing is not a factor. The 8241 is reversible, so one part covers left and right hand doors, inswing or outswing. For a property manager buying several at once, that means a single line item for the whole building rather than sorting by opening.

Brass body with a heavy gauge steel bolt case. Two of the three finishes, 003 Polished Brass PVD and 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, are PVD, which is the coating you want on a sun and weather exposed patio or deck door. 190 Satin Black is the third choice.

A reinforcing strike is part of the package, made of high grade steel and built specifically for this bolt. Nothing extra to order for the frame side. Use long screws into the jamb stud when you set it, since a reinforced strike only does its job if it is anchored past the casing.

Yes, it is part of Baldwin's Estate Series in a contemporary design, so it lines up with other Estate trim on the same openings. Finish is where it matters most: pick the same code across the job, 003, 056, or 190, and the deadbolt reads as one set with the levers and knobs.

No. The 8241 has no cylinder to key, on either face, so it can never join a keyed system. If the plan is to bring every door onto one key, choose a single cylinder deadbolt from the start, then match keyways across the set.

The Baldwin Estate 8241 is a contemporary-design deadbolt offered in polished brass PVD, lifetime PVD satin nickel and satin black. For a keyed unit in the same contemporary vocabulary, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt and the Bravura 310RC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary round deadbolt, both cylinder x thumbturn. The Brinks Mendocino Series is also a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. The Baldwin remains the non-keyed patio function of the group.

The Baldwin Estate 8241 uses an inside turn piece and is not keyed, so it cannot be locked by key from either face. Where a double cylinder is required, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter DB2000 Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Double cylinder function is restricted on egress doors in many jurisdictions, so confirm the code for the opening before specifying one.

No. The Baldwin Estate 8241 is a bored deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it goes into a cross bore and edge bore. The Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch, square and round trim respectively, and the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise dead bolt with a D cylinder. Those require a mortise pocket routed into the door edge, which is a different prep entirely from the bored hole the Baldwin uses.

The Baldwin Estate 8241 is not keyed and locks from an inside turn piece, so there is no core to accept. For an opening that has to join a keying system, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with interchangeable core prep and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D.
