Deltana G2RLDB Grade 2 Regular Latch, Deadbolt, 2-3/8" Backset

It's a single cylinder deadbolt: keyed from one side only, with a turn on the interior. That makes it the usual choice for a solid entry door. If you have glass beside or in the door and your local code allows a key on both faces, look at a double cylinder instead, such as the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder or the Callan 210S.

The G2RLDB is rated ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and catalogued for commercial use, which covers light to medium commercial traffic: office suites, multi-family unit doors, back-of-house doors. For high-abuse public openings or anywhere a spec sheet calls for Grade 1, step up to something like the Design Hardware D1 Series or the Delaney LM Series Grade 1 deadbolt.

It's a tubular, bored-type deadbolt, so it drops into a standard cross bore and edge bore, no mortise pocket needed. If your door is already mortised for a deadlock case, this isn't the part; a mortise deadbolt such as the Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt suits that prep.

Close equivalents in Grade 2, cylinder by thumbturn: the Arrow DBX61, the Cal-Royal CB160 (which adds a tamper-resistant cylinder guard), the Bravura 310B Elite in a traditional round trim, the Callan 200S-G2 in round trim, and the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder, which lists a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Accentra D111 is also built for a 2-3/8 inch backset but is Grade 1 rather than Grade 2.

The Deltana G2RLDB is a Grade 2 tubular single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset. The nearest like-for-like peers are the Arrow DBX61, a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with cylinder x thumbturn function, the Dexter DB2000-SCT, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal CB160, a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard. All three keep the same Grade 2 rating and the same key outside, turn inside operation.

The G2RLDB is rated Grade 2. For a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt, the Accentra D111 is Grade 1 with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the Dexter DB1000-SCT is Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. The Cal-Royal is the one to look at if the opening is a fire rated door.

No. The G2RLDB is a single cylinder deadbolt, meaning key outside and thumbturn inside. For key on both faces, use a double cylinder unit such as the Dexter DB2000-DCT, Grade 2 double cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Delaney LU Series 320601, a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt, or the Callan 210S, a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt. Confirm the egress code for the opening before specifying double cylinder.

No, and this is the most common mis-order. The G2RLDB is a tubular deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a standard keyed cylinder. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in cylinder x blank function for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, so there is no inside thumbturn at all. The Arrow E61 26D IC is prepped for a small format interchangeable core and ships less core, so it needs a core supplied separately. Both serve different openings than a keyed single cylinder deadbolt with a turn.

The G2RLDB is a tubular deadbolt bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is a wood or hollow metal door preparation rather than a narrow stile prep. For storefront stiles, look at mortise style deadlocks such as the International Door Closers DH-1821 hook bolt deadlock with flat faceplate or the DT-1851 long throw deadlatch, and the Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt with cylinder x turn.

A 1 inch strike ships with it. If you're replacing an old deadbolt, compare that strike to the existing mortise in the jamb: a 1 inch strike will usually cover a previous deadbolt cutout, but a wider full-lip or security strike prep may leave exposed wood you'll need to patch or cover with a separate strike plate.

Three finishes: oil rubbed bronze, brushed chrome, and polished brass. That covers the three most common looks on multi-family and office entries, so you can match dark bronze trim, satin/brushed sets, or brass. Order the same finish across a building if you are standardizing, since bronze and brass age differently over time.

No, not as a classroom deadbolt. The G2RLDB is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a turn inside. Classroom deadbolt function, keyed outside with a blank or fixed plate inside so students cannot throw the bolt, is a different lock: the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 classroom-function option, and the Falcon D111 or Hager 3118 are the Grade 1 versions.

No. A deadbolt has no latch bevel and no lever, so the G2RLDB is non-handed and installs on a left or right hand door either way. The two things that do have to match are the 2-3/8 inch backset and your door's bore diameter.

The G2RLDB is a Grade 2 commercial deadbolt. Where Grade 3 is acceptable, the Callan 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with square trim, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder unit with adjustable backset. The LSD thumbturn is the one to pick if accessible operation matters to the occupant.

The G2RLDB is keyed with a single cylinder, so it always needs a key outside. For an opening that only needs to be thrown from inside, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock with blank plate outside and thumbturn inside, sized for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt that only bores one face of the door.

The Deltana G2RLDB is supplied as a keyed single cylinder deadbolt. If you are standardizing a property on Schlage C, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder commercial deadbolt with a 1 inch throw. Both carry a fire rating, which matters on rated corridor and stair doors.

The G2RLDB is a mechanical keyed deadbolt with a thumbturn. For keyless operation, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, and the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote. The surface-mounted Codelocks units avoid boring a cylinder through the door face.

Steel and zinc construction. Steel gives the bolt and internal parts their strength, zinc is used for housing and trim components. It's a commercial-rated part, but like any zinc-bodied deadbolt the finish is what weathers, so on a fully exposed door expect the plated finish to be the first thing to show wear rather than the mechanism.

No, it's a mechanical key-operated deadbolt, no batteries or wiring. If you want code or credential access on the same opening, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt.

The Deltana G2RLDB comes in oil rubbed bronze, brushed chrome and polished brass. If the trim shape is what you are matching, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, the Bravura 310RC Elite is the Grade 2 contemporary round version, and the Bravura 910005 is a Grade 2 rectangle single cylinder deadbolt. All three hold the same Grade 2 rating and cylinder x thumbturn function.
