Baldwin Estate 8244 Contemporary Low Profile 2-1/8" Single Cylinder Deadbolt

Both. The 8244 ships with an adjustable latch that sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into either of the two standard bore preps without ordering a specific backset version. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch cross bore to confirm which one you have.

The 8244 cylinder is a C keyway, the common Schlage-style section most residential entry hardware is cut on, so a locksmith can key it into an existing C-keyed set. Order it keyed alike if you want several openings on one key, or keyed different if each door gets its own; there's also a key code field if you're matching an existing bitting.

Key outside, thumbturn inside. That's the entry function most jurisdictions want on a residential exterior door, and it means nobody gets locked in without a key. If you need key on both sides, for a door with glass beside the lock, the 8244 isn't it; a double cylinder like the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc or the Callan 210S handles that.

The 8244 comes with a reinforcing strike measuring 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches in high-grade steel. That's the common deadbolt strike footprint, so on most replacements the existing jamb mortise takes it with little or no chisel work. The strike screws are meant to reach the framing behind the jamb, which is where the pull-out resistance actually comes from.

The 8244 is built as residential hardware, so it's the right call on single family entries, condo unit doors, and high-end residential projects. For a commercial opening carrying traffic or a code-driven grade requirement, step to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial deadbolt instead, such as the Accentra D111 Grade 1 or the Arrow DBX61 Grade 2, both cylinder x thumbturn like the 8244.

In most cases yes. The 8244 is a bored deadbolt using the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, adjusts to either the 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset already drilled, and is reversible so the swing doesn't matter. What to check is the trim diameter against any wear ring or paint shadow left by the old lock, since the low profile Contemporary II trim may not cover a larger old rose.

The 8244 comes with a C-Keyway cylinder. Where a facility keys its own cores, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core, less cylinder, with a 2-3/4 inch backset; 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; and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in a dull chrome US26D finish.

The Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt in a cylinder x thumbturn function, and the Brinks Mendocino Series is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset. Both share the 8244's cylinder x thumbturn function, where a key operates the outside and a turn piece operates the inside. The 8244 itself is a Contemporary II design in a brass substrate with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.

The Baldwin Estate 8244 is a residential deadbolt. For a Grade 1 requirement in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the Dexter DB1000 Series single cylinder is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with an adjustable backset. The Deltana CL200LM and the Delaney LM Series are also Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts.

The Baldwin Estate 8244 is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a turn piece inside. Where a glass lite next to the lock rules a thumbturn out, the double cylinder options include the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc Deadbolt in brass, the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder rated Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, the Hager 3214 Grade 2 double cylinder with a Schlage C keyway, and the Delaney LU Series Grade 2 double cylinder in a stainless steel US32D finish.

The Baldwin Estate 8244 uses a C-Keyway cylinder. Among comparable deadbolts that state a Schlage C keyway directly, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder over the same door thickness range. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt is supplied keyed different with SC keyways.

The Baldwin Estate 8244 is a residential deadbolt. On a rated opening, the Hager 3215 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw carries a fire rating and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, as do the Hager 3115 and Hager 3118. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch in the same cylinder x thumbturn function.

Several look adjacent but do a different job. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip, so it is strike hardware rather than a lock; the 8244 ships with a reinforcing strike of high-grade steel and a 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch strike dimension. The Arrow E60 is a non-keyed exit deadlock in a blank plate x thumbturn function, so it has no outside key. The Callan Model 205S is a one-sided half-bore deadbolt with no outside cylinder. The BEST 8T is a tubular deadbolt tube component rather than a complete lock. The International Door Closers DL-4511 is a deadlatch lock, which latches on closing rather than throwing a deadbolt by key.

The Baldwin Estate 8244 uses a turn piece on the interior. The Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, in the same cylinder x thumbturn function as the 8244.

No handing to specify. The 8244 is reversible, so the same part works on a left or right hand swing. That matters if you're buying several for a building and want one line item covering every opening.

Two: 031 non-lacquered brass and 033 vintage brass. Non-lacquered brass is live, meaning it will darken and patina with handling rather than staying bright, so match it to other unlacquered brass on the opening. Vintage brass is an antiqued brass tone. The lock body substrate is brass in both cases.

Yes, with drilling. You'll need a 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face plus the edge bore at either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and a mortise in the jamb for the 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch strike. Baldwin publishes a drilling template and installation instructions for this deadbolt, which is what you want in hand before the hole saw touches the door.

The Baldwin Estate 8244 is a brass Contemporary II deadbolt offered in 031 Non-Lacquered Brass and 033 Vintage Brass. For plainer trim on the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt, and the Callan Model 200S-G2 is the Grade 2 round trim version. The Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in the same function.

The Baldwin Estate 8244 is a keyed deadbolt with a C-Keyway cylinder outside. For code or credential entry instead, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override, the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, and the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt. These are different lock cases, not drop-in trim swaps for a bored Baldwin deadbolt.

The 8244 is a Contemporary II design. For a round or traditional face in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt, the Bravura 310RC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary round deadbolt, and the Brinks Raleigh Series is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset. In a cast finish, the Emtek #11 Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze deadbolt in the same function.
