Dormakaba M1960 D 626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes in the Dormakaba M1960 deadbolt, and do I get the escutcheon plates with it?
The M1960 is the cylinder and thumbturn assembly only, no trim. You get a keyed cylinder for the outside and a thumbturn for the inside, and it mounts to trim you already have on the door. If your existing plates are damaged or missing, this part alone will not finish the opening. It is sold as a service part for M1000 Series deadbolt locks, which is the point of it: replace the worn keyed side without pulling the whole lock.
2) Will the Dormakaba M1960 fit any deadbolt, or only Dormakaba locks?
Only compatible Dormakaba M1000 Series deadbolt locks. The M1960 is a genuine Dormakaba replacement assembly built to that series, so it is not a universal cylinder-and-turn kit for another maker's deadbolt. If the lock in your door is not an M1000, you want a complete deadbolt instead, for example the Hager 3115 cylinder x thumbturn or the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder.
3) Can I key a Dormakaba M1960 into my existing Schlage master key system?
Yes. Every M1960 assembly ships with a Schlage C keyway cylinder, so it drops into a building already keyed on Schlage C without a rekey of the rest of your doors. A locksmith can pin it to your existing bitting. For a property manager standardizing a fleet, that is the detail that matters: one keyway across all nine finish choices.
4) Is the M1960 a mortise deadbolt or a tubular one?
Mortise. The M1960 serves Dormakaba's M1000 Series mortise deadbolt, so the lock body sits in a pocket cut into the door edge, not in a round cross bore. That matters if you are pricing a swap: a tubular deadbolt like the BEST 8T T Series or the Dexter DB2000 will not go into a mortise pocket without new door prep.
5) My M1000 deadbolt key is worn out but the lock body works fine. Do I need a whole new lockset?
No. The M1960 replaces just the cylinder and thumbturn on a compatible M1000 Series deadbolt, so the lock body, the bolt, and the door prep stay as they are. Pull the old assembly, fit the new one, reuse the trim. For a maintenance crew running a building, that turns a lockset replacement into a parts swap.
6) What is a direct alternative to the Dormakaba M1960 if I need a complete single cylinder deadbolt rather than a replacement cylinder and turn assembly?
The M1960 is a cylinder x thumbturn assembly meant to go back into existing M1000 Series trim, so it does not bring its own bolt or strike. If the opening needs a whole deadbolt, 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, and the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder deadbolt is Grade 1 with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range. Both are cylinder x thumbturn, matching how the M1960 operates: key outside, turn inside.
7) I need a Schlage C keyway deadbolt for a commercial door but the existing lock is not Dormakaba M1000 - what should I order?
The Dormakaba M1960 assembly is keyed to Schlage C, but it is built to drop into compatible M1000 Series hardware. For an unrelated commercial door on the same Schlage C key system, the Hager 3215 is a single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw, Grade 2, and the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway; both cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and carry a fire rating. That keeps the building on one key without needing M1000 trim in the door.
8) The tenant space needs key operation on both sides instead of a thumbturn - what replaces a Dormakaba M1960 there?
The M1960 is a single cylinder assembly: keyed cylinder outside, thumb turn inside. Where the interior must also be keyed, go to a double cylinder deadbolt. The Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt, extra heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors; and the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Confirm the local egress code allows a double cylinder on the opening before specifying one.
9) Which deadbolt should I use instead of an M1960 when the opening needs a Grade 1 fire rated or classroom function lock?
The M1960 is a cylinder x thumbturn assembly for M1000 Series hardware. Where a drawing calls out Grade 1 with a rated bolt, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a classroom function on a heavier commercial door, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset, heavy duty.
10) We key our building on small format interchangeable cores - what deadbolt takes an SFIC instead of the M1960's Schlage C cylinder?
The M1960 assembly is supplied with a Schlage C keyway cylinder. For an SFIC key system, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock prepped for SFIC less core, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt for interchangeable core with a 2-3/4 inch backset; and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D. Ordering less core lets your locksmith pin the cores to the existing system.
11) What finishes does the Dormakaba M1960 deadbolt cylinder and turn come in?
Nine, all with the Schlage C keyway: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, satin black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. If you are matching existing openings, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two that read closest to typical commercial hardware, and both are stocked here so you can match the rest of the floor rather than accept a near miss.
12) Single cylinder deadbolt with a thumbturn inside, or double cylinder keyed both sides, which do I need?
The M1960 is single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn inside, so anyone inside can throw or retract the bolt by hand with no key. That is what most commercial egress situations call for. Double cylinder means a key on both sides, which people specify for doors with glass beside the lock. If you need that instead, the Baldwin Reserve double cylinder contemporary round deadbolt and the Callan 210S are double cylinder options. Check your local code first, since keyed egress is restricted in many jurisdictions.
13) I need small format interchangeable core, not a standard Schlage C cylinder. Is there an option?
The M1960 assembly comes with a Schlage C keyway cylinder, so it is not an SFIC part. If your facility is standardized on interchangeable core, look at the Arrow E61 in 26D with SFIC prep less core, or the Deltana CL200LAIC interchangeable core deadbolt, both of which take your own core.
14) What is a lighter duty alternative to a commercial Dormakaba M1960 deadbolt for apartment interior or lower traffic doors?
The M1960 is classed for commercial use. On lower traffic openings, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn over the same thickness range. The Arrow DBX61 sits between them as a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt. All three operate the same way the M1960 does, key outside and turn inside.
15) Is a mortise strike or a deadbolt tube component a substitute for the Dormakaba M1960?
No. The M1960 is the cylinder and thumb turn assembly itself. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors - it is the frame side part the bolt throws into. The BEST 8T is the tube component of a T Series tubular deadbolt, the bolt mechanism rather than the key and turn. Both appear next to deadbolt searches, but neither gives you a keyed cylinder or a thumb turn.
16) What do I use in place of a keyed deadbolt when the door only needs to lock from the inside?
The M1960 keys from the exterior and turns from the interior. If the exterior does not need key access, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt for doors that are bored on one face only. Neither carries a cylinder, so neither goes onto a master key system.
17) Is there an electronic or keypad deadbolt option instead of the keyed M1960 assembly?
The M1960 is mechanical, operated by key and thumb turn. For coded access, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, and the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish, medium duty. The Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override if you want a code with a mechanical fallback. For access control tied into a system, the DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt.
18) Our doors are thicker than standard - which deadbolt covers a 2 inch or 2-1/4 inch door where a standard single cylinder will not?
Most single cylinder deadbolts stop at 1-3/4 inch. For thicker stock, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Measure the door leaf at the bolt location before ordering, since the cylinder tailpiece length is what governs the range.
19) The backset in our doors is not standard - which single cylinder deadbolt adjusts to fit?
For openings where the bore center is not confirmed, the Brinks Raleigh Series is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset, and the Brinks Mendocino Series is the contemporary square version with the same 4 way adjustable backset; both are cylinder x thumbturn. On the commercial side, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset. Fixed backset options include the Accentra D111 at 2-3/8 inch and the Deltana CL200LA at 2-3/4 inch, Grade 2.
20) Our storefront and aluminum doors need a hook bolt rather than a standard deadbolt - what takes the place of an M1960 there?
A straight throw deadbolt like the M1960 assembly relies on a frame strike directly opposite the bolt. On sliding or narrow stile openings, a hook bolt is the usual answer: the International Door Closers DH-1821 is a hook bolt deadlock with a flat faceplate. For a latching version, the IDC DT-1851 is a long throw deadlatch lock and the IDC DL-4511 is a deadlatch lock, both with flat faceplates. Where the lock has to hold the hinge edge as well, the Detex DX Series provides hinge side locking dead bolts with multi-point security.
21) What is the difference between the Dormakaba M1960 and the Kaba Ilco 4500 Series deadbolt?
The M1960 is a cylinder and thumb turn assembly built to go into compatible M1000 Series deadbolt hardware, so the trim and bolt stay in the door. The Kaba Ilco 4500 Series is a heavy duty professional deadbolt sold as its own unit. If the M1000 hardware in the door is sound and only the cylinder and turn are worn, the M1960 is the part; if the whole deadbolt is being replaced or the door is new, the 4500 Series covers it complete.
22) We are standardizing deadbolts across a multi-family property - which Grade 2 single cylinder options operate the same way as a Dormakaba M1960?
The M1960 operates cylinder x thumbturn, keyed outside and turned inside. Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolts with the same operation include the Cal-Royal CB160, which adds a tamper-resistant cylinder guard; the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Bravura 910 rectangle deadbolt; the Callan Model 200S-G2 with round trim; and the Falcon D211, a Grade 2 classroom function deadbolt, medium duty. Picking one series and one keyway across the property keeps the master key and the spare parts bin simple.
23) Is the Dormakaba M1960 suitable for commercial buildings or is it residential grade?
Commercial. Dormakaba classes the M1960 as commercial door hardware, and it is specified into offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-family. If you are buying a complete Grade 1 commercial deadbolt rather than a service part, the Accentra D111 and the Delaney LM Series are Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn units.
24) The M1960 comes in 605 bright brass and 613 oil rubbed bronze - what decorative deadbolt matches a residential-style entry in those tones?
The M1960 assembly is offered in finishes including 605 bright brass, 612 satin bronze, and 613 oil rubbed bronze. On an entry where the hardware is meant to be seen, the Emtek #11 Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, and the Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt in the Estate Series. For a squared trim in the same operation as the M1960, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, cylinder x thumbturn.
25) If the doors are getting a lockset and a deadbolt together, is there a single unit that covers both instead of adding a separate deadbolt?
The M1960 assembly serves a standalone deadbolt on the door. Where a lever or knob and a deadbolt are both going in, an interconnected lock puts them on one chassis: the Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt. That changes the door prep, since an interconnected lock uses its own bore pattern rather than a separate deadbolt bore, so it is a specification decision rather than a drop-in swap.
