Emtek 8326-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8326 Urban Modern deadbolt fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or do I need a spacer for a thicker one?
The 8326 covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors. Standard build ships set for 1-3/4 inch, which is the usual exterior thickness, and a thin-door extension collar is included to take up the gap on 1-3/8 inch stock. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 needs to be called out when you order, and there is a door thickness field on the order form for exactly that.
2) Does the Emtek 8326 deadbolt drop into an existing standard deadbolt prep?
Yes, it uses standard door prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Those are the two common residential backsets, so if you are pulling out an old tubular deadbolt, measure from the door edge to the center of the bore and pick the matching backset when you order. Standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch; 2-3/4 has to be specified. Handing is not a factor.
3) Is a double cylinder deadbolt like the Emtek 8326 the right choice, or should I use a single cylinder?
Double cylinder means a key is needed on both sides, no thumbturn. That is what you want on a door with glass beside or in it, where someone could reach through and turn a thumbturn. The trade-off is egress: nobody leaves without a key, and many jurisdictions restrict double cylinder on a required exit door in occupied space. If a thumbturn inside is acceptable, a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt is the version to order instead.
4) Is the Emtek 8326 deadbolt suitable for a commercial building or apartment entry doors?
Emtek lists the 8326 as residential hardware. For a commercial opening or a multi-family entry taking real traffic, a graded commercial deadbolt is the better call: the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder is Grade 1 across 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. Keep the 8326 for single-family and high-design residential work where the brass trim is the point.
5) What is the closest double cylinder deadbolt to the Emtek 8326 Urban Modern if I want a contemporary square rose instead of the Urban Modern trim?
The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square deadbolt (BAL-DC.CSD) is a double cylinder deadbolt with square trim, and the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round (BAL-DC.CRD) is the same double cylinder function with a round rose. The Emtek 8326 is a double cylinder deadbolt in a contemporary style with a solid brass housing, collar and rosette, keyed both sides with no thumbturn. All three take a key on the interior, so the security behavior at the door is the same and the choice is trim shape and brand keying.
6) I need a double cylinder deadbolt for a commercial opening with an ANSI grade on the submittal - what should I use instead of the Emtek 8326?
The Emtek 8326 is a residential double cylinder deadbolt. For a graded commercial submittal, the Design Hardware D1 Series double cylinder deadbolt (DH-D1-D) is Grade 1, extra heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder (DEX-DB1000-DCT) is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. If Grade 2 satisfies the spec, the Hager 3214 double cylinder carries a Schlage C keyway and a fire rating for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB2000 Series double cylinder (DEX-DB2000-DCT) is Grade 2 for the same thickness range.
7) The fire marshal will not allow a key on the inside - what deadbolt replaces the double cylinder Emtek 8326 on that door?
The 8326 is keyed on both sides, so egress requires a key from inside. Where that is not permitted, a cylinder-by-thumbturn deadbolt is the substitute: the Accentra D111 is Grade 1 with a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder (DEX-DB1000-SCT) is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal LSD is Grade 3 with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Emtek also builds the Urban Modern deadbolt in a single cylinder version that includes an extension collar for thin doors.
8) My door is 2 inches thick - which double cylinder deadbolts cover that?
The Emtek 8326 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors as standard, with a door thickness field to specify at order, and the EMPowered version reaches 2-1/4 inches. Among other double cylinder options, the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If the opening is thicker still, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Dexter DB1000 double cylinder tops out at 1-7/8 inch and the Design Hardware D1 double cylinder is built for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) I key everything to Schlage C - which deadbolts besides the Emtek 8326 will drop into that system?
The Emtek 8326 ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder can be substituted so it keys into an existing Weiser system. Among other brands, the Hager 3214 double cylinder deadbolt uses a Schlage C keyway, as do the Hager 3115 cylinder-by-thumbturn deadbolt and the Hager 3118 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a 6-pin cylinder. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise dead bolt is supplied keyed different with SC keyways.
10) Which deadbolts look like alternatives to the Emtek 8326 but will not work as a keyed both sides lock?
Several nearby products are not keyed on both faces. The Arrow E60 is a non-keyed exit deadlock, blank plate by thumbturn. The Callan 205S (CLN-KD2001) is a one-sided half-bore deadbolt. The Corbin Russwin DL3211 and DL2211 are cylinder by blank, so the inside face has no operation at all. The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, a component rather than a lock. The Emtek 8326 is a keyed double cylinder tubular deadbolt requiring a key on both sides.
11) The opening is a glass storefront or a narrow stile door - can I use the Emtek 8326 there?
The Emtek 8326 is a tubular deadbolt that needs standard door prep, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore on a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door. For a narrow stile or storefront leaf, a mortise deadlock body is the usual answer: the International Door Closers DL-4511 deadlatch lock and DT-1851 long throw deadlatch both have flat faceplates, and the DH-1821 is a hook bolt deadlock. The Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise dead bolt, cylinder by thumbturn. The Arrow 460 is the mortise strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip.
12) What do I have to specify when ordering an Emtek 8326 deadbolt?
Four decisions. Keyway (Schlage C standard, or Weiser WR5 by adding a W to the product code). Finish, from the seven offered. Backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, both required choices on the order. And door thickness if it is anything other than the standard 1-3/4 inch. Keying is free either way, so tell us keyed different or keyed alike, and give the key code if you are matching an existing system.
13) What finishes does the Emtek 8326 Urban Modern deadbolt come in?
Seven: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Satin Brass (US4). Every one of those is offered in both the Schlage C and the Weiser keyway, so keyway choice does not narrow the finish. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its as-shipped look, which matters if you are trying to match other openings in a building years from now.
14) Is the Emtek 8326 deadbolt solid brass all the way through, or just plated?
The cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette are solid brass, not plated pot metal. The bolt itself is hardened steel, with a heavy gauge steel understrike behind the brass trim strike that ships with every one. That combination is why the unlacquered brass finish is worth considering: it is brass through the section, so wear shows as patina rather than plating loss.
15) What other double cylinder deadbolts could I use if the Emtek 8326 is not right for my door?
A few directions. For the same contemporary look in another premium residential line, Baldwin Reserve offers double cylinder deadbolts in contemporary round and contemporary square trim, and Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder. If the door is thicker than what the 8326 covers, the Corbin Russwin DL3000 Series deadlock spans 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. On a tighter budget, the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder in stainless steel, and the Callan 210S is Grade 3.
16) Can I keep several Emtek Urban Modern deadbolts on one key across a property?
Yes. Order them keyed alike and every bolt in the group takes the same key. If the building already runs on a Schlage C system, keying to code will cut them to your existing bitting, and if it runs on Weiser, the WR5 cylinder option keys into that system with no cylinder upcharge. Give the code on the order and the keying itself is free.
17) Is the Callan 210S the same thing as the Emtek 8326 double cylinder deadbolt?
Both are double cylinder deadbolts, keyed on both faces. The Callan Model 210S (CLN-KA2103) is Grade 3. The Emtek 8326 is a residential tubular deadbolt with a solid brass cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, a hardened steel bolt and a heavy gauge steel understrike, shipped with a brass trim strike, and it is offered in seven finishes from Oil Rubbed Bronze to Unlacquered Brass. The Delaney LU Series double cylinder (320601) is another Grade 2 alternative, supplied in a Stainless Steel US32D finish.
18) Can I use an interchangeable core in place of the Emtek 8326 so my facility can rekey in house?
The Emtek 8326 uses a fixed Schlage C cylinder with a Weiser WR5 option. For small format interchangeable core, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep supplied less core for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with interchangeable core 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. All three are cylinder by thumbturn or single cylinder rather than keyed both sides.
19) I want a keypad or credential deadbolt instead of a keyed brass one like the Emtek 8326 - what are the options?
The Emtek 8326 is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt. If you want electronic access on the same opening, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override, and the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt. The Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish, and the CL2210 is the mortise version.
20) My existing bores are cut for a different backset than 2-3/8 inch - do I need an adjustable backset deadbolt instead of the Emtek 8326?
The Emtek 8326 is ordered with the backset specified, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, against a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, so the correct backset is selected at order rather than adjusted at the door. If you would rather have the adjustment in hand on site, the Brinks Raleigh E2401 round and Mendocino E2402 square single cylinder deadbolts both have a 4 way adjustable backset, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with adjustable backset. Those adjustable options are cylinder by thumbturn rather than keyed both sides.
21) Is there a decorative brass double cylinder deadbolt in the same design language as the Emtek 8326 Urban Modern from another brand?
The Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt in the Estate Series, and the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round and Square double cylinder deadbolts sit in the same decorative territory. The Emtek 8326 Urban Modern is solid brass throughout the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, and is offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Satin Brass US4.
22) Does the Emtek 8326 deadbolt come with a strike, or do I need to buy one?
A brass trim strike ships with every 8326, backed by a heavy gauge steel understrike. Nothing extra to order for the frame side. Worth noting the understrike is where the resistance lives, so use screws long enough to reach the framing behind the jamb rather than the short ones that only bite the jamb itself.
