Emtek 8458-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek 8458 Saratoga deadbolt fit my existing door prep?
It uses standard residential prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and a choice of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, which covers both the common older 1-3/8 interior door and the standard 1-3/4 entry door. If your existing bolt came out of a bored tubular prep, the 8458 drops straight back in.
2) Can I key the Emtek 8458 deadbolt to my existing Schlage keys?
Yes. The standard cylinder is a Schlage C keyway, so it can be keyed to an existing Schlage C system. There is also a Weiser WR5 keyway version, ordered by putting a W in front of the product code (W8458), with no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike or keyed different is selected when ordering, and you can supply a key code.
3) Which backset do I order for the Saratoga deadbolt, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Backset is a required selection. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch; specify 2-3/4 inch if the bore on your door is set back farther from the edge. Measure from the door edge to the center of the cross bore before ordering, since the wrong backset will not reach the strike.
4) Does the Emtek 8458 work on a thin door, like a 1-3/8 inch door?
It does. The single cylinder version includes an extension collar for thin doors, and the stated range runs 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. There is a door thickness field on the order, so note anything other than the standard 1-3/4 inch when you place it.
5) Is the Emtek Saratoga deadbolt rated for a commercial opening?
It is a residential product. For a commercial door where a graded lock is called for, look at the Accentra D111 or Delaney LM Series, both Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts, or the Hager 3115, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt that also uses a Schlage C keyway so it can sit in the same key system.
6) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Emtek 8458 Saratoga single cylinder deadbolt for a commercial opening?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga is a residential-classified brass deadbolt in a cylinder x thumbturn function. If the opening needs a Grade 1 rated deadbolt in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the Dexter DB1000-SCT is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt. The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom-function deadbolt for openings that need that function.
7) I need a double cylinder deadbolt instead of a thumbturn - what should I order?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga is built as a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. For a key-both-sides opening, such as a door with glass near the lock, the Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square deadbolts are double cylinder, the Dexter DB1000-DCT is a Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Dexter DB2000-DCT is a Grade 2 double cylinder for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Delaney LU Series 320601 is a Grade 2 double cylinder in stainless steel. Check your local egress code before specifying key-both-sides.
8) What else uses the Schlage C keyway if I want to key a deadbolt into an existing Schlage system?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga ships standard with a Schlage C keyway, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder can be substituted by adding a W to the front of the product code. If you want the same Schlage C keyway in a commercial-style deadbolt, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with Schlage C keyway, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt is also offered with SC keyways.
9) Which deadbolts are fire rated if the Emtek 8458 Saratoga will not work on my fire door?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga is a residential-classified brass deadbolt. Where a fire rating is required, the Hager 3115, 3215, 3214 and 3118 deadbolts all carry a fire rating and cover 1-3/8 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) Can I use an interchangeable core deadbolt in place of the Emtek 8458 Saratoga?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga comes with a fixed Schlage C cylinder, or a Weiser WR5 cylinder when W is added to the product code, so it is not an SFIC product. If your facility keys on interchangeable cores, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 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.
11) Which of these deadbolts look like substitutes for the Emtek 8458 Saratoga but will not drop into the same door prep?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga is a tubular deadbolt using a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. Several deadbolts in the same family will not use that prep: the Codelocks CL200 and CL2200 are surface-mounted deadbolts, the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, the DynaLock 1300 Series is a mortise electric deadbolt, and the Callan 205S is a one-sided half-bore deadbolt with no keyed outside trim. The Baldwin 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, an accessory rather than a lock.
12) What should I use instead of the Emtek 8458 Saratoga on a thicker door?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness and includes an extension collar for thin doors. For doors beyond that, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range if you need key both sides at that thickness.
13) Do I need to specify handing for this Emtek deadbolt?
No handing required. A deadbolt has no latch bevel to reverse, so the 8458 installs the same on a left or right hand door. Order finish, keyway, and backset and you have everything specified.
14) Is the Emtek 8458 Saratoga deadbolt solid brass or plated?
Solid brass on the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn, and rosette. The bolt itself is hardened steel with a heavy gauge steel understrike, so the wear parts are steel and the visible trim is brass. Finishes include unlacquered brass (US3NL), which will patina over time, along with lifetime polished brass, satin brass, French antique, oil rubbed bronze, pewter, flat black, polished and satin nickel, and polished chrome.
15) Do I need a strike plate with the Emtek 8458, or is one included?
A brass trim strike ships with every one of these deadbolts, along with a heavy gauge steel understrike that goes behind it in the jamb. You do not need to buy a strike separately; just verify your jamb is mortised for it.
16) Can I get the Saratoga deadbolt keyed alike with the other entry doors on a property?
Yes. Keyed alike is one of the two keying selections, and you can also submit a key code so a batch matches an existing system. With the Schlage C cylinder standard and a Weiser WR5 option, it can be folded into whichever system the building already runs.
17) What is the difference between this single cylinder Emtek deadbolt and a double cylinder one?
The 8458 is cylinder outside, thumbturn inside, so it unlocks by hand from the interior. A double cylinder needs a key on both sides, which is the choice for a door with glass next to the bolt but is restricted by code in some jurisdictions. If you want double cylinder, the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square deadbolts and the Callan Model 210S are double cylinder options.
18) Is there a simpler single cylinder deadbolt than the Emtek 8458 Saratoga if I do not need solid brass trim?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga uses a solid brass cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette with a hardened steel bolt. For a plainer cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, the Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt, the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard, the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt, and the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder with an adjustable backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) The Emtek 8458 requires the backset to be specified - is there a deadbolt with an adjustable backset instead?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard, with 2-3/4 inch specified at order. If you would rather stock one part that fits either bore, the Brinks Raleigh E2401 round and Mendocino E2402 square single cylinder deadbolts have a 4-way adjustable backset, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder with adjustable backset, and the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 deadbolt with adjustable backset.
20) Is there a deadbolt with an ADA-friendly thumbturn as an alternative to the Emtek 8458 Saratoga?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga uses a solid brass thumbturn on the inside. If the opening needs an easier-to-grip turn, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, in the same cylinder x thumbturn function.
21) What is the electronic equivalent if I want keypad or credential access instead of the Emtek 8458 Saratoga?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt. For credential or code access in a deadbolt format, 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. These use their own prep and power arrangements rather than the standard deadbolt prep the 8458 uses.
22) I want a contemporary square or round trim deadbolt rather than the Emtek 8458 Saratoga - what are the options?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga is an American Classic style brass deadbolt. For a more contemporary look in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Bravura 310RC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary round deadbolt, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, the Bravura 910005 is a Grade 2 rectangle single cylinder deadbolt, and the Brinks Mendocino E2402 is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt. The Callan 200S is a Grade 3 square trim single cylinder deadbolt and the Callan 200S-G2 is the Grade 2 round trim version.
23) Is there a non-keyed deadbolt alternative for an interior or exit door where the Emtek 8458 Saratoga is more lock than I need?
The Emtek 8458 Saratoga is keyed on the outside with a thumbturn inside. If the door does not need a key outside, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, in a blank plate by thumbturn function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan 205S is a one-sided half-bore deadbolt that operates from one face only.
