Emtek 8479 Wilshire Deadbolt - Classic Brass - Single Cylinder

Both keyways are offered. Standard is the Schlage C keyway, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available at no upcharge by adding a W to the front of the product code; a WR5 cylinder can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keying is selectable on the order as keyed different or keyed alike, and there is a field to key to a specific code if you are matching an existing bitting across a building.

The Wilshire 8479 is a residential deadbolt. For a commercial opening or a spec that calls out a grade, look at Grade 1 deadbolts like the Accentra D111 or the Delaney LM Series, or Grade 2 units like the Arrow DBX61 or Dexter DB2000. Where you want the decorative brass look on unit entry doors in multi-family and the door is not on a rated or graded spec, the 8479 is the right family.

If the existing lock uses the Schlage C keyway, yes. The 8479 ships with a Schlage C cylinder as standard and can be keyed to code, so the same key can be cut to work it. The door prep matches too: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is standard residential prep.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire single cylinder deadbolt is specified for door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so a 2 inch door is within its range; door thickness is called out at time of order. Among comparable deadbolts, the Deltana 7312KA2 covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch span but is a double cylinder Grade 3 unit, so it takes a key on both sides rather than a thumbturn. If the door is thicker than 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, though it is a cylinder x blank configuration with no thumbturn on the inside. Most of the comparable set - the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder, the Cal-Royal ED500, the Accentra D111 - stops at 1-3/4 inch.

The Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt built around a Schlage C keyway, which is the same keyway the Emtek 8479 Wilshire single cylinder deadbolt ships with as standard. The Hager 3115 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and carries a fire rating. If the requirement is Grade 1 with the same keyway, the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder, also rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and fire rated. Both key into an existing Schlage C system the same way the 8479 does, so a building already keyed to Schlage C can mix the decorative Emtek on the front doors and the Hager on the back-of-house openings under one key.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire is a residential solid brass single cylinder deadbolt. When a project calls for a stated ANSI grade, the comparable set has direct cylinder x thumbturn substitutes at each level: Grade 1 with the Accentra D111 (D Series, 2-3/8 inch backset, 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors), the Deltana CL200LM, the Delaney LM Series less-core deadbolt, and the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder (1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors); Grade 2 with the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder, the Arrow DBX61, or the Cal-Royal CB160 with its tamper-resistant cylinder guard; Grade 3 with the Cal-Royal ED500 or the Callan Model 200S. All of these keep the key-outside, thumbturn-inside function of the 8479.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside, and that thumbturn is reachable through a broken sidelight or glass panel. For a double cylinder alternative that takes a key on both sides, the comparable set includes the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square deadbolts and the Baldwin Estates 8011 in the decorative range; the Hager 3214 with a Schlage C keyway, the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder, and the Delaney LU Series at Grade 2; the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder and Design Hardware D1 Series at Grade 1; and the Callan Model 210S at Grade 3. The Hager 3214 keeps the same Schlage C keyway the 8479 uses, so it stays on an existing Schlage key system.

Several deadbolts sit near the Emtek 8479 Wilshire without doing the same job. The 8479 is a keyed tubular deadbolt, cylinder outside and thumbturn inside, on a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. The Arrow E60 exit deadlock is non-keyed - blank plate outside, thumbturn inside - so there is no outside key access at all. The Corbin Russwin DL2211, DL3011 and DL3211 deadlocks are cylinder x blank, keyed outside with nothing to operate from the inside. The Callan Model 205S is a one-sided half-bore deadbolt and does not go through the door. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike, not a lock. The BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component rather than a complete deadbolt, and the Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer. The Codelocks CL200 and CL2200 are surface deadbolts that mount on the face of the door rather than into a bored prep.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire is a residential solid brass single cylinder deadbolt. When a fire rating has to be documented on the opening, the Hager 3115 Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn, the Hager 3118 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt, the Hager 3214 double cylinder, and the Hager 3215 single cylinder with 1 inch throw all carry a fire rating and cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the first three use a Schlage C keyway. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.

No handing to figure out. The 8479 is a single cylinder tubular deadbolt, key outside and thumbturn inside, and it works on a left or right hand door either way. That also means one part number covers every opening in a building regardless of swing.

Everything for a standard install is in the box: the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette in solid brass, a hardened steel bolt, a heavy gauge steel understrike, and a brass trim strike, which ships with every deadbolt. The extension collar for thin doors is included as well. You do not need to order a strike separately.

No. The 8479 Wilshire is single cylinder only, key outside and thumbturn inside. For key-both-sides on a door with glass nearby, look at the Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Round, the Callan 210S, the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder, or the Delaney LU Series. Check your local code first, since double cylinder is restricted on some egress doors.

Yes. Keyed alike is one of the two keying choices on the order, alongside keyed different, and there is a text field for keying to a specific code if you are extending an existing system. Since the deadbolt needs no handing, you can order one finish and one backset across a run of doors and let keying be the only per-unit decision.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire is a residential single cylinder deadbolt with a cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside. Classroom-function deadbolts in the comparable set are built for that opening instead: the Falcon D111 is Grade 1 heavy duty with adjustable backset, the Falcon D211 is Grade 2 medium duty 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 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, keyed outside with a blank inside plate.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire ships with a standard 2-3/8 inch backset latch, with 2-3/4 inch specified at the time of order, so the backset is fixed at purchase. If a crew would rather carry one part number and set the backset in the field, the Brinks Raleigh Series round and Brinks Mendocino Series square single cylinder deadbolts both use a 4-way adjustable backset, and the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with adjustable backset covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with adjustable backset for openings that need a stated grade. All four keep the key-outside, thumbturn-inside operation of the 8479.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire uses a conventional cylinder in a Schlage C keyway, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder as a substitution option so it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. For a facility standardized on interchangeable cores, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core and supplied without the cylinder, the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less-core deadbolt, and the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those take the facility's own core rather than being keyed at the factory.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt operated by key and thumbturn. For credential-based entry on a bored deadbolt opening, the comparable set includes the Delaney KP400, a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote; the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override; and the Dormakaba Nova-D RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt for apartment and multi-family portfolios. If the door is better served by a surface-mounted unit, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt and the CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire uses a solid brass thumbturn on the interior. Where an ADA-friendly interior operation is called for, 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, and it keeps the same cylinder x thumbturn function as the 8479 so the keying arrangement on the outside does not change.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire is an American Classic style solid brass single cylinder deadbolt with a brass rosette. For a different trim silhouette in the decorative range, the Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt and the Baldwin Reserve line offers contemporary round and contemporary square double cylinder deadbolts - both Baldwin families take a key on both sides rather than a thumbturn. Staying with cylinder x thumbturn, the Bravura 310B Elite is a traditional round Grade 2 deadbolt, the 310RC Elite is contemporary round, the 310SC Elite is contemporary square, and Bravura also builds a Grade 2 rectangle single cylinder deadbolt. Callan offers square trim with the Model 200S at Grade 3 and round trim with the Model 200S-G2 at Grade 2.

The Emtek 8479 Wilshire is a standalone deadbolt only - it has no latch and no knob or lever, so an entry door still needs a separate handleset or knob for the latching function. The Falcon H2101 is an entrance interconnected lock that combines a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with the latch in one assembly, so a single outside key motion retracts both. That is the alternative when the goal is one lock body on the door instead of a deadbolt plus a separate lockset.

Ten finishes across both keyways: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its as-shipped look, which matters if you are matching a fleet of doors years apart.

Solid brass through the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, not a plated pot metal shell. The bolt itself is hardened steel and the understrike behind the jamb plate is heavy gauge steel. That is why it holds up on a front door that gets handled every day and why the unlacquered brass version can be left to age.
