Baldwin Estate 8254 Cody Squared Single Cylinder Deadbolt

The 8254 uses the Baldwin C keyway and can be ordered keyed alike or keyed different, with a key code field if you are matching an existing system. Keyed alike is the route when you want one key running the entry set and the deadbolt on the same door.

Single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn inside. On a door with glass within reach of the turn piece, many jurisdictions push you to a double cylinder instead, and a thumbturn deadbolt is the wrong choice there. For a double cylinder in the same square styling, the Bravura 310SC Elite family is square trim but single cylinder, while the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc is offered as a double cylinder brass deadbolt.

The 8254 Cody Squared is catalogued for residential use. For commercial-duty openings, graded alternatives with the same cylinder x thumbturn function include the Accentra D111 Grade 1 with 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal CRB800 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, and the Hager 3215 Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw. The Hager 3215 carries a fire rating and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

For the same squared trim shape and cylinder x thumbturn function, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, and the Brinks Mendocino Series is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. The Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt. The Baldwin 8254 itself is a brass, residential Estate Series deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset, so the Brinks unit is closest on backset flexibility.

The Baldwin Estate 8254 Cody is supplied with a C keyway and can be ordered keyed alike or keyed different. Among comparable deadbolts, the Hager 3115 and Hager 3215 are Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts with a Schlage C keyway, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder, so all three can be brought onto the same key system. If you would rather field the cylinder yourself, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core and supplied less cylinder.

No handing to specify. The 8254 is reversible, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door.

A reinforcing strike of high-grade steel is included, measuring 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inches. That is the common residential deadbolt strike footprint, so it generally covers an existing single deadbolt mortise in a wood jamb.

The Baldwin Estate 8254 Cody Squared is single cylinder with an interior turn piece only. For a keyed-both-sides opening, the Callan Model 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, the Dexter DB1000 is a Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc is a brass double cylinder deadbolt. For a decorative brass look nearer the Estate range, the Emtek 8323 is the closest in material.

The Baldwin 8254 Cody is a squared brass design offered in Lifetime Polished Brass, Non-Lacquered Brass, Venetian Bronze and Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. For a comparable decorative brass or bronze single cylinder deadbolt in a different aesthetic, the Emtek #11 Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, and the Bravura 310B Elite is a traditional round Grade 2 deadbolt. Emtek also offers the 2050 square and 2051 round European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch if the door is prepped for a mortise case rather than a bored hole.

The Baldwin 8254 Cody Squared is a brass Estate Series deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset. Plainer single cylinder options with the same cylinder x thumbturn function include the Cal-Royal ED500 Grade 3 with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter DB2000 Grade 2 for the same thickness range, and the Arrow DBX61 Grade 2. The Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn if accessibility is a factor.

The Baldwin 8254 Cody is keyed on the exterior with an interior turn piece. Where no key is wanted outside, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock with a blank plate by thumbturn for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For an opening with no interior operation at all, the Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt.

The 8254 Cody is a mechanical cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt. Electronic alternatives include the Delaney KP400, a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override, and the Dormakaba Nova-D RFID multihousing smart deadbolt. The two Dormakaba units are credential-based and aimed at multihousing and hospitality rather than single-key residential use.

Four: 003 Lifetime Polished Brass, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 112 Venetian Bronze, and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. The 031 is a living finish that will patina over time, while 003 is the lifetime coated brass if you want the doors on a building to stay uniform.

Trim substrate is brass, and the deadbolt case is formed of heavy gauge steel. Solid brass trim is why the Estate line holds up on exposed exterior entries better than plated zinc residential bolts.
