Emtek 8450-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8450 deadbolt fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or do I need something else?
The 8450 sandcast bronze deadbolt covers doors from 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. It ships set up for a standard 1-3/4 inch door and includes an extension collar for thin doors, so a 1-3/8 inch door is handled without ordering extra parts. Doors outside that range need a different bolt.
2) What backset do I order for an Emtek 8450 deadbolt, and will it match my existing bore?
Backset is a required choice at order time: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Those are the two standard residential backsets, so measure from the door edge to the center of the existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore and pick the matching one. The 8450 drops into standard door prep, 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, so an existing deadbolt hole in good shape takes it directly.
3) Can I key the Emtek 8450 deadbolt to my existing Schlage or Kwikset-style house keys?
Two keyways are offered. Standard is Schlage C, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. Weiser WR5 is the alternative, ordered by putting a W in front of the model code (W8450FB, for example), with no upcharge for the cylinder swap, and it keys into an existing Weiser system. Keying options at order are keyed different or keyed alike, and you can supply a key code.
4) I need a key on both sides instead of a thumbturn - what replaces the Emtek 8450?
The Emtek 8450 is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. For a glass-adjacent door where a thumbturn is not acceptable, the Hager 3214 is a double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which keeps the same key blank as the 8450. In decorative trim, the Baldwin Reserve DC.CRD is a double cylinder contemporary round deadbolt and the Baldwin Estates 8011 is a 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt. Confirm your local egress code before specifying double cylinder on a required exit.
5) My door is thicker than 2 inches - what deadbolt works where the Emtek 8450 does not?
The Emtek 8450 covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch in its standard build. For a thicker door, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Note it is a cylinder x blank deadlock rather than cylinder x thumbturn, so the inside face has no turn - if the opening needs an inside thumbturn on a thick door, that is a different specification than the DL3011 provides.
6) What is a straight equivalent to the Emtek 8450 single cylinder deadbolt that uses the same Schlage C keyway?
The Emtek 8450 is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, so it keys into the same system as the Hager 3115, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both take the same key blank and can be brought into an existing Schlage C master system. The 8450 is a solid brass sandcast bronze deadbolt in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze, so the decision between them is decorative trim versus a plain commercial face.
7) The Emtek 8450 is a residential deadbolt - what Grade 1 deadbolt should I use on a commercial opening instead?
The Emtek 8450 is classified residential. For an opening that has to meet a Grade 1 requirement, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter DB1000-SCT is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. Both hold the same cylinder x thumbturn function as the 8450, so the keying scheme and the user experience at the door do not change.
8) Is the Emtek 8450 a fire rated deadbolt, or do I need a different one for a rated opening?
For an opening that carries a fire rating requirement, specify a deadbolt that states one. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, and the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder commercial deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and a fire rating for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both keep the cylinder x thumbturn function of the Emtek 8450 so the door still operates the same way from the inside.
9) Can I use the Emtek 8450 in an interchangeable core keying system?
The Emtek 8450 ships with a conventional cylinder in either a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway, keyed different or keyed alike. If your facility runs small format interchangeable cores, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core less cylinder, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D.
10) What looks like a substitute for the Emtek 8450 but will not work in the same door prep?
Several deadbolts share the name but not the prep. The Emtek 8450 is a tubular deadbolt using a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. The Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt with a D cylinder in Schlage keyways, and the Codelocks CL200 is a surface mounted deadbolt with key override - both mount differently from a bored tubular deadbolt. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike, not a lock at all. The Baldwin 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer and the BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, both parts rather than complete deadbolts.
11) What deadbolt should I use on a classroom door instead of the Emtek 8450?
The Emtek 8450 is a residential single cylinder deadbolt. For a classroom function opening, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset, the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty classroom function version with single cylinder operation, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Hager keeps the same Schlage C key blank the 8450 uses.
12) Do I need to specify handing for the Emtek 8450 deadbolt?
No handing to specify. The 8450 is a tubular deadbolt with a keyed cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside, so it installs the same on a left or right hand door. Backset and door thickness are the only fit decisions.
13) What comes in the box with an Emtek 8450 deadbolt, or do I need to buy a strike separately?
A brass trim strike ships with every 8450 deadbolt, along with a heavy gauge steel understrike behind it and the extension collar for thin doors. Latch is included and set for the backset you order. Nothing else is needed for a standard door prep.
14) Can I get the Emtek 8450 deadbolt keyed alike across several doors?
Yes. Keying is selected on the order as keyed different or keyed alike, at no charge, and you can supply an existing key code to have the cylinders cut to it. Keep the same keyway across the group, Schlage C on the standard 8450 or Weiser WR5 on the W prefix version, and all the bolts turn on one key.
15) What is the closest alternative to the Emtek 8450 if I need a Schlage C keyway but a heavier duty deadbolt?
The Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, so an existing Schlage C key still works. The Hager 3215 is another single cylinder option with a 1 inch throw over the same thickness range. Both trade the 8450's sandcast bronze look for a graded commercial body.
16) What is the difference between the Emtek 8450 and a Grade 2 commercial deadbolt like the Arrow DBX61 or Cal-Royal CB160?
All three are cylinder x thumbturn single cylinder deadbolts. The Emtek 8450 is a residential sandcast bronze unit with a solid brass cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, a hardened steel bolt, and a heavy gauge steel understrike. The Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in the DBX Series, and the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard. The Cal-Royal adds cylinder guard protection; the Emtek carries the cast bronze trim.
17) I have a mix of 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets across a building - is there a deadbolt that covers both without specifying?
The Emtek 8450 is ordered with the backset called out, either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so the bore has to be confirmed per door. If you would rather carry one part across a mixed building, the Brinks E2401 Raleigh is a single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset, the Brinks E2402 Mendocino is the same with square contemporary trim, and the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All three are cylinder x thumbturn like the 8450.
18) What is the closest decorative alternative to the Emtek 8450 if I want a different trim shape?
The Emtek 8450 is a sandcast bronze deadbolt with a solid brass housing, collar, thumbturn, and rosette in the Rustic Living theme. For a different trim look with the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, and the Callan 200S-G2 is a Grade 2 single cylinder round trim deadbolt. The bronze casting and finish are what the 8450 brings that these do not.
19) I want keypad or electronic entry instead of a keyed deadbolt like the Emtek 8450 - what are the options?
The Emtek 8450 is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt. For credential or code entry in the same deadbolt footprint, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, 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. Mounting differs between the surface and mortise versions, so check the existing prep before you swap.
20) Is there a deadbolt with an easier to grip thumbturn than the Emtek 8450 for an accessible unit?
The Emtek 8450 uses a solid brass thumbturn on the inside. Where an accessible unit calls for a larger grip, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, keeping the same cylinder x thumbturn function so the outside of the door still takes a key.
21) I need a deadbolt that is not keyed at all, just a thumbturn - what takes the place of the Emtek 8450?
The Emtek 8450 is keyed, with a cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside. For a door where no key is wanted on the outside face, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, which suits a door that only bores partway through.
22) Can I pair the Emtek 8450 with a knob or lever, or is there a single unit that does both?
The Emtek 8450 is a deadbolt only, so a separate knob or lever set handles the latching. If you would rather buy one assembly, the Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt built in, which combines the deadbolt and latch in one prep. The 8450 remains the choice when the door already has trim you are matching and only the deadbolt is being replaced.
23) What finishes does the Emtek 8450 sandcast bronze deadbolt come in?
Three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Each is available with either the Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder, so a whole house can be matched on one finish and one key system.
24) Is the Emtek 8450 an electronic or smart deadbolt?
No, it is a mechanical key and thumbturn deadbolt with no electronics. If you want keypad or RFID entry, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, and the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID smart electronic deadbolt for multihousing.
