Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 Deadbolt Spacer

It's a spacer, a component that goes into a Baldwin Reserve deadbolt, not a deadbolt you can install on its own. Ordering it gets you the spacer only, so you still need the deadbolt body, cylinders and strike. If what you actually need is a full double cylinder deadbolt ready to hang, look at a complete unit instead, such as the Hager 3214 double cylinder deadbolt or the Delaney LU Series 320601 double cylinder deadbolt.

The spacer covers doors from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick, which spans the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and the standard exterior residential door at 1-3/4. On a thicker door, a slab over 1-3/4 or a door built up with cladding, it's out of range and you need a deadbolt kit rated for the greater thickness.

Baldwin Reserve is residential hardware, and the double cylinder function needs a key on the inside to get out. That's a problem on any door serving as a required exit, and many jurisdictions won't allow it on a dwelling's main egress door. For a commercial opening, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 unit is the closer match, for example the Design Hardware D1 Series double cylinder deadbolt (Grade 1, extra heavy duty, 1-3/4 inch door) or the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder (Grade 2, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch). For a thumbturn exit that still deadlocks, the Arrow E60 is a non-keyed blank plate x thumbturn deadlock.

The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 deadbolt spacer is sized for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and belongs to a double cylinder deadbolt for residential use. Complete double cylinder deadbolts covering that same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range include the Dexter DB2000-DCT, a Grade 2 double cylinder, and the Delaney LU Series 320601, a Grade 2 double cylinder in stainless steel US32D finish. Both are keyed on the inside and outside, so an occupant needs a key to retract the bolt from within, which is the behavior a glass-lite or sidelite door is usually specified for.

The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, a component that sets the bolt assembly to the door, not a keyed deadbolt on its own. If what is needed is a whole double cylinder deadbolt in one box, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc is a brass double cylinder deadbolt. The BEST 8T is worth knowing about as a look-alike: it is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, so like the Baldwin spacer it is a piece of a deadbolt rather than a finished lock.

A double cylinder deadbolt like the Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 requires a key on both faces, which many occupancies do not permit on an egress door. Single cylinder alternatives that thumbturn from inside include the Dexter DB2000-SCT, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 3215, a Grade 2 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw and a Schlage C keyway, and the Cal-Royal LSD, a Grade 3 cylinder x thumbturn with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For an exit door that needs no key at all outside, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock, blank plate x thumbturn, for the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range.

The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 spacer is sized to 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, so a thicker leaf needs a different assembly. The Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter DB1000-DCT is a Grade 1 double cylinder rated 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. For a heavy commercial leaf, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, though it is keyed cylinder x blank rather than double cylinder.

It's a double cylinder part, keyed on both sides rather than key outside and thumbturn inside. If the Baldwin deadbolt on your door has a thumbturn on the interior, this is not the spacer for it. Cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts are a different build entirely, and you'd want the single cylinder version of the hardware.

The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 spacer is a residential-duty part in a transitional design. Where a job calls for a Grade 1 double cylinder instead, the Design Hardware D1 Series is Grade 1, extra heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB1000-DCT is Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. On the single cylinder side, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty Grade 1 deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, which is the one to look at when a fire rated opening drives the spec.

The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a transitional design residential part. For matching a fleet of openings on trim style, the Brinks Raleigh Series E2401 is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset, while the Brinks Mendocino Series E2402 and the Bravura 310SC Elite are contemporary square, and the Bravura 310RC Elite is contemporary round. Where the run must stay double cylinder, the Callan Model 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder and the Delaney LU Series 320601 is Grade 2.

Where the entry function of the Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 exceeds what an opening calls for, the Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, which bores only one face and has no outside key. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock, blank plate x thumbturn, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both throw a bolt from the inside only, so neither can be keyed from outside the way a double cylinder can.

A bored deadbolt takes a cross bore and edge bore. Several deadbolts in the same duty conversation cut a different prep and will not drop into that hole. The Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch, square and round respectively, and the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt with a D cylinder keyed different in SC keyways, all of which need a mortise pocket. The Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override and mounts to the face of the door instead. The Arrow 460 is not a lock at all but a mortise lock strike with a straight lip for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a double cylinder residential part. Where a facility keys on interchangeable cores, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with an interchangeable core prep and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D. Each ships to accept the core the keying program already uses.

The Reserve deadbolt this spacer belongs to is transitional in styling, so it sits alongside trim that isn't strictly traditional or strictly contemporary. If you're standardizing a whole set of openings and want a different look, other deadbolts break down by trim shape: the Bravura 310RC Elite is contemporary round, the 310SC Elite is contemporary square, and the 310B Elite is traditional round.
