Emtek 8369-US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8369 Square deadbolt fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or do I need something else?
The 8369 Square deadbolt covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch. It ships set up for the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial thickness, and an extension collar is included for thin doors, so a 1-3/8 inch panel is handled out of the box. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch, call out the thickness when you order so the correct spindle and tailpiece length come with it.
2) Does the Emtek 8369 deadbolt drop into an existing bored door, or does the door need new prep?
Standard prep, no new boring on most doors. The 8369 uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, which is the same prep nearly every residential entry deadbolt already sits in. Backset is the one thing to check: the standard latch is 2-3/8 inch, and you have to specify 2-3/4 inch if that is what the door is bored for. Handing is not required, so the same part works on a left or right hand door.
3) What is the difference between a double cylinder deadbolt and a regular single cylinder one, and should I use the 8369?
A double cylinder deadbolt takes a key on both sides, with no thumbturn inside. That is what the 8369 is. Buyers pick it for doors with glass beside or in them, where someone could break the glass and reach a thumbturn. The trade-off is that nobody exits without a key, and many jurisdictions restrict that on a required exit door in an occupied dwelling. If you want a key outside and a thumbturn inside, you want a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt instead.
4) Can the Emtek 8369 be keyed into my existing Schlage keys?
Yes. The 8369 ships standard with a Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. If your building runs Weiser, order the WR5 keyway version instead (add a W to the front of the product code) and it keys into an existing Weiser system with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution. Both keyways are offered across all seven finishes. Keying is specified at order time as keyed different or keyed alike, and you can supply a key code.
5) Is the Emtek 8369 deadbolt suitable for a commercial building or apartment turns?
The 8369 is a residential-duty tubular deadbolt with a solid brass housing and a hardened steel bolt. It suits single-family, condo, and light multi-family entries. For a commercial opening where a Grade 1 or Grade 2 rating is called out on the drawing, use a commercial double cylinder instead, such as the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 double cylinder or the Dexter DB2000 Grade 2 double cylinder.
6) I have a door thicker than 2 inches. Will the Emtek 8369 work?
Not the mechanical 8369, which tops out at 2 inch door thickness. Emtek's EMPowered version of the deadbolt handles doors up to 2-1/4 inch. On a thick commercial slab, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek 8369 square deadbolt if I want the same contemporary square trim in a double cylinder?
The Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Square Deadbolt is the nearest match in form and function - square trim, contemporary styling, and double cylinder operation, the same keyed function the Emtek 8369 uses on both sides. The Emtek 8369 is a tubular brass deadbolt with a square rosette in the Square series. If a round rosette suits the door better, the Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Round Deadbolt is the same function in a round trim.
8) I need a square double cylinder deadbolt for a commercial opening that has to carry an ANSI grade - what should I use instead of the Emtek 8369?
The Emtek 8369 is a residential brass deadbolt, so for a graded commercial opening look at the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 Double Cylinder Deadbolt, rated extra heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Dexter DB1000 Series Grade 1 Double Cylinder Deadbolt, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. If square contemporary trim is the priority and Grade 2 is acceptable, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, though it is cylinder x thumbturn rather than keyed both sides.
9) Which deadbolts keep the Schlage C keyway if I am keying a whole building alike and cannot use the Emtek 8369 everywhere?
The Emtek 8369 ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard. On the commercial side, the Hager 3214 Grade 2 Double Cylinder Deadbolt uses the same Schlage C keyway and is the direct function match; the Hager 3215 single cylinder deadbolt with 1 inch throw and the Hager 3115 cylinder x thumbturn also run Schlage C, both covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and carrying a fire rating. That lets front doors on Emtek trim and back-of-house doors on Hager sit on one key system.
10) The Emtek 8369 is keyed on both sides - what do I use on an opening where a key on the inside is not allowed?
The Emtek 8369 is a double cylinder deadbolt, keyed on both faces with no thumbturn. Where egress rules out an inside key, use a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt instead: the Dexter DB1000 Series Grade 1 Single Cylinder Deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Accentra D111 Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Cal-Royal LSD Grade 3, which uses an ADA ergonomic thumbturn. For an opening that needs no key at all, the Arrow E60 Grade 2 exit deadlock is blank plate by thumbturn.
11) My door is 2 inches thick - which double cylinder deadbolts cover that besides the Emtek 8369?
The Emtek 8369 is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and ships with an extension collar for thin doors. Among double cylinder alternatives, the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The Dexter DB1000 Grade 1 double cylinder tops out at 1-7/8 inch and the Dexter DB2000 Grade 2 at 1-3/4 inch, so neither reaches a full 2 inch door.
12) I am doing several doors in one house. Can I get the Emtek 8369 deadbolts all on one key?
Keyed alike is a selection you make when ordering, so a run of 8369 deadbolts can come on one key. You can also give a specific key code to have them cut to a system you already have in the building. Keep the keyway consistent across the order, Schlage C or Weiser WR5, since the two do not interchange.
13) What finishes does the Emtek 8369 Square deadbolt come in, and will it match my other Emtek trim?
Seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Satin Brass (US4). All seven are available with either the Schlage or the Weiser keyway. The trim is solid brass, and the square rosette matches Emtek's contemporary Square line, so it reads with other square-rose Emtek levers and knobs on the same opening.
14) What comes in the box with the Emtek 8369 deadbolt, and do I need to buy a strike separately?
Every 8369 ships with a brass trim strike plus a heavy gauge steel understrike behind it, so no separate strike purchase. The bolt, latch, both cylinders, collar and rosette are included, along with an extension collar for thin doors. What you do specify at order time is backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch), keyway, finish, and how it is keyed.
15) What else could I buy instead of the Emtek 8369 double cylinder square deadbolt?
Closest look-alikes in a square contemporary trim: the Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Square Deadbolt, also double cylinder, and the Bravura 310SC Elite, a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt though it is cylinder x thumbturn rather than double cylinder. If the square trim is not the point and you just need two-key operation, the Callan 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder and the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder in stainless. The Deltana 7312KA2 is the other one with the same wide 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range.
16) What is a simpler double cylinder deadbolt than the Emtek 8369 for a rental unit where solid brass trim is not the point?
The Emtek 8369 uses solid brass for the cylinder, housing, collar and rosette, which is what you pay for on a front entry. Where the trim material is not the point, the Callan Model 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder in stainless steel US32D, and the Dexter DB2000 Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - all keyed both sides like the 8369, in plainer trim.
17) Is the Baldwin Estates 8011 the same thing as the Emtek 8369?
They are not interchangeable. The Emtek 8369 is a tubular deadbolt with a double cylinder keyed function, standard door prep, and a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt in the Estate Series with an entrance function. Confirm the trim diameter and prep against the door before treating one as a drop-in for the other.
18) Do the Corbin Russwin DL3011 or Arrow E61 replace an Emtek 8369 on an entry door?
No - those are deadlocks, not keyed-both-sides entry deadbolts. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock with cylinder by blank trim for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock prepped for SFIC and shipped less core, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both leave one face without a key. The Emtek 8369 takes a key on both sides, which is what a glass-panel entry usually calls for.
19) I want keypad or credential entry on the door instead of the Emtek 8369 - what deadbolts do that?
The Emtek 8369 is a mechanical deadbolt with no electronic option. For credential or code entry, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. For multifamily on RFID credentials, the Dormakaba Nova-D is a smart electronic deadbolt in the Nova Series.
20) The Emtek 8369 needs a fixed 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset - what if I do not know the backset on the door yet?
The Emtek 8369 is ordered with the backset specified, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, against a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. If the backset has not been measured, an adjustable-backset deadbolt takes the guesswork out: the Brinks Mendocino Series is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset, the Brinks Raleigh Series is the same idea in transitional round trim, and the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are cylinder x thumbturn rather than keyed both sides.
21) Can I get the Emtek 8369 with an interchangeable core, and if not what takes one?
The Emtek 8369 is built around a Schlage C keyway cylinder, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available by adding a W to the product code. For an interchangeable core program, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core and supplied non-cylinder with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 deadlock with SFIC prep shipped less core, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less-core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D.
22) Is the Emtek 8369 deadbolt solid brass or brass plated?
Solid brass, not plated over pot metal. The cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette are all solid brass, and the bolt itself is hardened steel. That matters on the Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) finish in particular, since it is meant to patina with handling rather than wear through a coating.
23) Which square-trim deadbolt should I standardize on across a fleet of units if the Emtek 8369 is the design on the front doors?
To keep square trim through the building, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, the Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt, and the Bravura Rectangle Deadbolt is a Grade 2 single cylinder in rectangular trim - all cylinder x thumbturn. The Emtek 8369 carries the square rosette in solid brass and is keyed on both sides, so pair it with the single cylinder square units on doors where an inside key is not wanted.
