Emtek 8379-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8379 Wilshire deadbolt fit a standard pre-drilled door?
Yes, it uses standard door prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, with your choice of 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and handing is not required, so it drops into a typical bored residential door without extra machining.
2) What is the difference between the double cylinder 8379 and a single cylinder deadbolt?
The Wilshire 8379 is a double cylinder deadbolt, meaning it takes a key on both sides instead of a thumbturn inside. That is the choice for doors with glass beside or within them, where a thumbturn could be reached through broken glass. If you want a keyed outside and thumbturn inside, you want a cylinder x thumbturn version instead, such as the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder or the Deltana CL200LM.
3) Can the Emtek 8379 be keyed alike with my existing Schlage or Weiser locks?
Yes. The standard cylinder is a Schlage C keyway, and a Weiser WR5 keyway version is available at no upcharge so it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keying to code is offered, and you can order keyed alike or keyed different.
4) Which backset do I need to order with the Wilshire deadbolt?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore. If it is 2-3/8 inches, take the standard latch; if it is 2-3/4 inches, specify that backset when ordering. Both are offered and backset is a required selection.
5) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches. Will this deadbolt still work?
The Wilshire 8379 covers 1-3/8 through 2 inch doors, with 1-3/4 inches as the standard build, so specify the thickness when you order anything other than that. Past 2 inches this is not the right part. For comparison, the Deltana 7312KA2 double cylinder covers the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch range.
6) What is a comparable decorative double cylinder deadbolt to the Emtek 8379 Wilshire if I want a different trim shape?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire is a double cylinder brass deadbolt in an American Classic style. For a different decorative look in the same keyed-both-sides function, Baldwin's Reserve line offers the Double Cylinder Contemporary Round Deadbolt and the Double Cylinder Contemporary Square Deadbolt, and the Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt. All three are double cylinder, so the operation matches the Wilshire while the rose shape and styling differ.
7) I need a keyed-both-sides deadbolt with an ANSI grade for a commercial opening - what should I use instead of the Emtek 8379?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire is a residential brass deadbolt. For an opening where a stated ANSI grade is required, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt rated extra heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. If Grade 2 satisfies the spec, the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder in Stainless Steel (US32D).
8) What is the single cylinder equivalent if a double cylinder deadbolt is not allowed on my egress door?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire is keyed on both sides. Where code or an egress concern rules that out, a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt is the substitute: the Dexter DB1000 Series single cylinder is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw, and the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn with a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three let the inside be retracted by turn without a key.
9) What deadbolt should I use instead of the Emtek 8379 Wilshire on a fire rated door?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire is a residential brass deadbolt. Where the opening carries a fire rating, the Hager 3214 double cylinder and Hager 3215 single cylinder deadbolts are both listed fire rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.
10) What finishes does the Emtek Wilshire 8379 deadbolt come in?
Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Pewter US15A, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Lifetime Polished Brass US3, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, Satin Brass US4 and French Antique US7. Each is available with either the Schlage or Weiser keyway, so you can match a whole house or a small portfolio of units on one finish code.
11) Is the Emtek 8379 deadbolt suitable for a commercial opening?
It is a residential-rated tubular deadbolt in solid brass, built for entry doors on homes and units. For a commercial opening where a graded deadbolt is specified, look at a Grade 1 double cylinder such as the Design Hardware D1 Series or the Delaney LU Series Grade 2 double cylinder.
12) What comes in the box with the Emtek Wilshire deadbolt?
Every deadbolt ships with a brass trim strike and a heavy gauge steel understrike, plus the hardened steel bolt. Cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette are solid brass. Nothing extra is needed for a standard door prep install.
13) Is there a double cylinder deadbolt that matches the Emtek 8379 keyway without ordering a Schlage C cylinder?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire ships standard with a Schlage C keyway, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available instead. If you want a Schlage C keyed double cylinder from another maker for the same key system, 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. For single cylinder on the same keyway, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn with Schlage C.
14) My door is thicker than 2 inches - what double cylinder deadbolt works there instead of the Emtek 8379 Wilshire?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire is built for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, with 1-3/4 inch as the standard prep. For a thicker leaf, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, though it is a cylinder x blank configuration rather than keyed both sides.
15) What looks like a substitute for the Emtek 8379 Wilshire deadbolt but is not?
Several items in the deadbolt family will not replace the Emtek 8379 Wilshire, which is a keyed-both-sides tubular deadbolt. The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, not a lock, and the BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component rather than a complete set. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike. The Arrow E60 is a non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate on one side and a thumbturn on the other, so it has no outside key. The Callan 205S is a one-sided half-bore deadbolt.
16) Is there a lower-cost double cylinder deadbolt for rental units where the Emtek 8379 brass trim is not needed?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire uses a solid brass cylinder, housing, collar and rosette. Where decorative brass trim is not the point, the Callan 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder in Stainless Steel (US32D). All three keep the keyed-both-sides function.
17) I need an interchangeable core deadbolt for a keyed system - what takes the place of the Emtek 8379?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire uses a fixed Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder rather than a removable core. For an IC system, the Arrow E61 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 interchangeable core and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in Dull Chrome (US26D).
18) Is there a keypad or electronic alternative to the Emtek 8379 Wilshire deadbolt?
The Emtek 8379 Wilshire is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt keyed on both sides. For credential-based entry instead, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, and the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt.
