Emtek 8469-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek 8469 square deadbolt fit my door thickness, and does it use standard door prep?
The 8469 square deadbolt covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inch. Prep is the standard tubular deadbolt bore: 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face, 1 inch edge bore. An extension collar for thin doors ships in the box, so a 1-3/8 inch panel door is handled without chasing a separate part. On a thicker door, up to the 2 inch limit, the same unit still works. If your slab is a common 1-3/4 inch commercial or entry door, it sits right in the middle of the range.
2) Do I order the Emtek 8469 deadbolt in a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
Backset is a required choice on the 8469, and it has to match the hole already in the door. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore: 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch are the two you will find, and those are exactly the two offered. 2-3/8 inch is the standard build; 2-3/4 inch is specified at time of order. Get it wrong and the bolt will not line up with the edge bore, so measure the existing hole before you order rather than guessing from the door width.
3) Can the Emtek 8469 deadbolt be keyed to my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are on the table at no upcharge. The standard 8469 cylinder is cut to the Schlage C keyway. For a Weiser house key, order the W-prefix version (W8469) and you get the Weiser WR5 keyway, which can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Same seven finishes either way, so the keyway choice does not limit your trim. If you are matching keys already in the building, pick the keyway your current cylinders use first, then the finish.
4) I need all the deadbolts in my building to open with one key. Can the Emtek 8469 be ordered keyed alike?
Keyed alike or keyed different is a required selection when you order the 8469, and there is a keying-to-code field so units can be cut to a code you already run. That is how you add doors to an existing master or keyed-alike group instead of handing a tenant a second key. Weiser-system properties can go the same route with the W8469 WR5 cylinder, which keys into an existing Weiser system. Keying is free either way.
5) Is the Emtek 8469 a straight swap for the deadbolt already in my door?
If the existing bolt sits in a standard tubular prep, yes. The 8469 uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, which is the prep almost every residential deadbolt already occupies, and handing is not required so the same unit works on a left or right hand door. Two things to confirm before ordering: the backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, measured door edge to bore center) and the door thickness, which has to fall between 1-3/8 and 2 inch. A brass trim strike comes with every one, so the strike side gets refreshed at the same time.
6) I need a keyed deadbolt on both sides for a door with glass. What should I use instead of the Emtek 8469?
The 8469 will not do that job, it is single cylinder with a thumbturn inside. For key on both faces in a similar contemporary square look, the Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Square Deadbolt is the closest match in style. Other double cylinder options: the Baldwin Estates 8011 Contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder, the Delaney LU Series Grade 2 in stainless steel (US32D), and the Dexter DB2000 Grade 2 double cylinder, which fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Check your local code first, since key-both-sides on an egress door is restricted in some jurisdictions.
7) Is the Emtek 8469 deadbolt suitable for a commercial building entrance, or should I spec something heavier?
The 8469 is a residential deadbolt, built for house and apartment entry doors. If your spec calls for a commercial grade, go to a graded unit: the Accentra D111 is Grade 1 single cylinder with a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Dexter DB1000 is Grade 1 single cylinder for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. For a mid-duty back-of-house door, the Arrow DBX61 and the Cal-Royal CB160 are Grade 2 cylinder-by-thumbturn units, the CB160 with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard.
8) What single cylinder deadbolt should I use on a fire rated opening instead of the Emtek 8469?
For a labeled opening, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 commercial single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw, also fire rated, over the same thickness range. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3 hour fire rated latch. The Emtek 8469 is the residential brass version of the same cylinder x thumbturn function.
9) What square-trim single cylinder deadbolts compare to the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 is a square, contemporary single cylinder deadbolt with a brass cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside. Three peers share that square face and the same cylinder x thumbturn function: the Bravura 310SC Elite, a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt; the Callan 200S, a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt; and the Brinks Mendocino E2402, a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset. The 8469 is ordered with a fixed backset of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch and takes a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway, while the Mendocino E2402 adjusts its backset on the door.
10) My submittal calls for a Grade 1 deadbolt - what do I use instead of the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 is a residential brass deadbolt. When the drawing calls out ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Dexter DB1000-SCT is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt. All three keep the key outside and thumbturn inside, so the operation on the door is unchanged.
11) My building is keyed Schlage C - which other deadbolts can go on the same key system as the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard, so it drops into an existing Schlage C system. Deadbolts that take the same keyway include the Hager 3115, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway; the Hager 3118, a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder; and the Hager 3214, a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt is also supplied with SC keyways, keyed different.
12) We key our facility on interchangeable cores - what deadbolt takes the place of the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 comes with its cylinder built in, keyed to Schlage C or Weiser WR5 at no upcharge. Where a facility keys everything on its own cores, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep supplied less core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D. Each of those needs a core supplied separately.
13) What comes in the box with the Emtek 8469 deadbolt, and do I need to buy a strike separately?
The strike is included. Every 8469 ships with a brass trim strike plus a heavy gauge steel understrike that goes behind it into the jamb, and an extension collar for thin doors. The lock itself is solid brass through the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, with a hardened steel bolt. What is not in the box is anything for the jamb beyond the strike, so if you are also upgrading to long screws into the framing, add those separately.
14) Does the Emtek 8469 deadbolt need to be handed, and which side gets the key?
No handing to specify. The 8469 installs on a left or right hand door as shipped. It is a single cylinder deadbolt, cylinder by thumbturn: keyed cylinder on the exterior face, thumbturn on the interior, so anyone inside throws or retracts the bolt without a key. That is the configuration most residential entries want. If the door has glass within arm's reach of the bolt and local code or an insurer pushes you toward key-both-sides, that is a double cylinder unit instead, not this one.
15) What finishes does the Emtek 8469 square deadbolt come in, and can I get every finish with either keyway?
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 built with either cylinder, Schlage C as standard or Weiser WR5 under the W8469 code, so the keyway does not narrow your finish choice. The square rosette and matching square trim keep it in a contemporary line, which matters when you are matching levers and knobs already on the other doors.
16) I do not know the backset on the doors I am replacing. Is there a deadbolt that covers both without measuring?
The Emtek 8469 is ordered to one backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, so it does need to be measured or specified. If you are buying for a fleet of doors with mixed prep and cannot check each one, an adjustable-backset unit saves you the sort: the Brinks Mendocino Series is a contemporary square single cylinder with a 4-way adjustable backset, the Brinks Raleigh Series is the round-trim version of the same idea, and the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) What else is out there in a square contemporary deadbolt if I want to compare against the Emtek 8469?
Staying square and contemporary: the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, cylinder by thumbturn, and the Bravura Rectangle single cylinder is the same idea with a rectangular rose. The Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder with square trim. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square is square trim but keyed both sides rather than thumbturn. What the 8469 brings against those is solid brass through the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, a choice of Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway at no upcharge, and seven finishes including unlacquered brass.
18) My door is thicker than 2 inches - what deadbolt covers it if the Emtek 8469 does not?
The Emtek 8469 covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as standard, with the EMPowered version reaching 2-1/4 inch. For a thicker leaf, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note the DL3011 is a cylinder x blank configuration, so it is keyed on one face with no thumbturn, rather than the cylinder x thumbturn arrangement of the 8469.
19) Which deadbolts look like the Emtek 8469 but are not keyed on the outside?
The Emtek 8469 is keyed, with a cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside. Two products in the same family look similar on the interior but have no exterior key: the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one sided half-bore deadbolt. Both throw a bolt from the inside only, so neither will work where the door has to be unlocked from outside with a key.
20) Which deadbolt parts are components rather than a complete lock like the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 is a complete single cylinder tubular deadbolt: cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn, rosette, hardened steel bolt, understrike and brass trim strike. Several deadbolt-named items are pieces, not locks. The BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, the Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, and the Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with a straight lip for latchbolt and deadbolt functions. Order those only when repairing or adapting an existing lock, not as a replacement deadbolt.
21) What is the electronic version of a deadbolt like the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt operated by key outside and thumbturn inside. For code or credential entry on the same door, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. The Codelocks CL2200 mounts on the surface rather than through a standard bore.
22) I need an ADA friendly thumbturn - is there an alternative to the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 uses a solid brass square thumbturn on the interior. Where an easier grip is wanted, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with the same cylinder x thumbturn operation. It keys outside and turns inside exactly as the 8469 does, with a larger paddle style turn piece.
23) What deadbolt has more attack resistance at the cylinder than the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 protects the bolt with hardened steel and a heavy gauge steel understrike, with the brass cylinder set in a brass housing and collar. Where the exposed cylinder itself is the concern, the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard, and the Detex DX Series locks the hinge side with multi-point security instead of a single bolt at the strike jamb.
24) The door has no bore for a deadbolt - what can I use in place of the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 is a tubular deadbolt and needs standard door prep, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore. Where boring the door is not an option, the Codelocks CL200 is a light duty surface deadbolt with key override that mounts on the face of the door, and the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt for a mortise pocket. The Dormakaba M1960 is a single cylinder deadbolt in cylinder x turn supplied with no trim.
25) What double cylinder deadbolt covers the same door thickness range as the Emtek 8469?
The Emtek 8469 fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as standard and includes an extension collar for thin doors. Among double cylinder deadbolts, the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt spanning that same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The Dexter DB2000-DCT is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, so both cover a narrower band of thicknesses.
26) What is the difference between the Unlacquered Brass and Satin Brass versions of the Emtek 8469?
Both are brass, the difference is the coating. Satin Brass (US4) holds its look. Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is a living finish with no lacquer over it, so it darkens and patinas from handling and weather, which is what people want on a period or farmhouse entry and what they hate if they expected it to stay bright. Neither is a different lock. The body is solid brass either way, with the same hardened steel bolt behind it.
27) What is the difference between the Emtek 8469 and a classroom function deadbolt?
The Emtek 8469 is cylinder x thumbturn: key outside, turn piece inside, so anyone inside can throw or retract the bolt by hand. A classroom deadbolt is keyed for staff control instead. The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt and the Falcon D211 is a Grade 2 medium duty classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation, while the Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in cylinder x blank for doors 1-3/4 inch. Specify classroom only when the bolt should not be operable from the inside without a key.
28) Can I get a deadbolt and a knob or lever that work together instead of the Emtek 8469 on its own?
The Emtek 8469 is a standalone deadbolt, installed above the latch in its own bore. Where one motion should retract both the bolt and the latch, the Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt built into the assembly. That is the usual choice for apartment entry doors where a single lever pull has to release both.
