Emtek 8558 Saratoga Single Sided Deadbolt - Brass

No. The 8558 Saratoga is a single sided deadbolt, thumbturn only from the inside, with no cylinder and no outside collar or trim. Nothing shows on the exterior face, so it's meant for interior openings or doors where you never need to unlock from the other side. If you need key access from outside, you want a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt instead.

The 8558 fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and it's built standard for 1-3/4 inch, so if your door is thicker than that you have to state the thickness when ordering. Prep is the usual tubular pattern: 2-1/8 inch cross bore in the face, 1 inch edge bore. Backset is your choice of 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, which covers both of the standard residential bore locations, so it drops into an existing deadbolt prep on most doors.

Two things beyond finish. Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, matched to where the cross bore sits in your door. Door thickness only needs stating if the door is thicker than the standard 1-3/4 inch; the bolt covers up to 2 inches. There's no keying to specify, since the 8558 has no cylinder.

Yes, up to 2 inches. The 8558 covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, but it ships built for 1-3/4 inch as standard, so anything thicker has to be called out on the order. That range is wider than most of the alternatives: the Dexter DB1000 tops out at 1-7/8 inch and the Dexter DB2000, Hager 3115 and Cal-Royal ED500 all stop at 1-3/4 inch. Among comparable deadbolts, the Deltana 7312KA2 matches the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch spread.

The Emtek 8558 Saratoga is a single sided deadbolt operated by a thumbturn from inside only, with no cylinder or collar on the outside. The closest peer in that same one-sided arrangement is the Callan Model 205S, a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock in a blank plate x thumbturn arrangement, also non-keyed, so the exterior face carries a blank plate rather than a keyway. Both cover the same idea as the 8558 - turn from inside, no key operation from outside.

The 8558 Saratoga is non-keyed and turns from the inside only, so it will not serve an opening that has to be locked or unlocked from the exterior. For a keyed exterior on a residential-scale door, the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder deadbolt is Grade 2 in a cylinder x thumbturn function with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 3115 is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range - the same keyway family the 8558 is prepped around. For a heavier door, the Accentra D111 is Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range.

The Emtek 8558 Saratoga covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, so a 2 inch door is inside its range. Among the peer deadbolts, the Deltana 7312KA2 is the one that reaches the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch span, though it is a Grade 3 double cylinder unit rather than a one-sided thumbturn. Most of the other deadbolts stop earlier: the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder runs 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the Hager 3215 and Accentra D111 both stop at 1-3/4 inch. On the commercial side, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 deadlock runs 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and picks up where the thinner-door units end.

The Emtek 8558 Saratoga is a residential tubular deadbolt in brass. Where a facility spec calls for a graded deadbolt, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder commercial deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and a fire rating. The Cal-Royal LSD is Grade 3 with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn if the turn side has to meet an accessibility requirement.

Two kinds of part get confused with it. The BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component and the Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer - those are pieces that go into or alongside a deadbolt, not a complete one-sided deadbolt with a thumbturn. The other near-miss is function: the Callan Model 210S and the Delaney LU Series are double cylinder deadbolts, keyed on both faces, which is the opposite of the 8558 arrangement where there is no key operation at all. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike in latchbolt x deadbolt functions - strike hardware for the frame, not the lock body.

The 8558 Saratoga is prepped around the Schlage C keyway. Among the keyed peers, the Hager 3115 is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder, and the Hager 3214 is a double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway - all three covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise dead bolt is supplied keyed different with SC keyways if the opening takes a mortise case instead of a tubular bore.

It's a residential product, and the single sided design means no key override from outside. On a commercial opening you'd normally want a graded deadbolt with a cylinder. From the same category, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt, and the Arrow DBX61 and Cal-Royal CB160 are Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn options. If what you actually need is a non-keyed thumbturn for an exit door, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, blank plate outside and thumbturn inside, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Both give you a thumbturn on one face and nothing on the other, but the prep differs. The Emtek 8558 uses a full 2-1/8 inch cross bore straight through with a 1 inch edge bore, so it drops into a door already bored for a standard deadbolt. A half-bore type like the Callan 205S is bored only partway from the inside face, which suits a door you don't want drilled through, glass-adjacent trim, or a slab where the outside face has to stay clean. If you're retrofitting an existing deadbolt hole, the full-bore 8558 is the direct fit.

No. The 8558 is non-keyed, thumbturn only, with no cylinder to key. For a door you want on the same key as the rest of the house, you need a keyed deadbolt. Among comparable options, the Hager 3115 and Hager 3214 both use the Schlage C keyway, which is the same keyway family Emtek's keyed deadbolts use.

Interior openings where you want a positive lock but no key: a home office, a den, a storage or utility room, a connecting door between a garage and a mudroom, an apartment interior door. It's a residential tubular deadbolt, thumbturn inside and a clean blank face outside, so the exterior side of the door shows no hardware at all. It is not a substitute for an entry deadbolt on a door to the outside, because there's no way to unlock it from the other side.

The 8558 Saratoga is an American Classic style deadbolt in brass, offered in ten finishes from Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) to Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Where the appearance does not have to carry a decorative collection, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset over 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with square trim, with the Model 200S-G2 as the Grade 2 round trim version. The Brinks Raleigh Series is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset, which saves specifying 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch up front.

The 8558 Saratoga is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt turned by hand from the inside. If the door needs code or credential access instead, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override in the light duty class, the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel at medium duty, and the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote. For multihousing credentialed access, the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID smart electronic deadbolt and the Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. These change the door prep and the power or battery arrangement, unlike the straight bore the 8558 uses.

The Emtek 8558 Saratoga is non-keyed and single sided - the thumbturn inside throws and retracts the bolt and there is no outside operation. The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt in a cylinder x thumbturn function with an adjustable backset, and the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty counterpart with single cylinder operation; both are keyed from the outside so staff can secure the door from the corridor. The Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in a cylinder x blank arrangement for 1-3/4 inch doors, which reverses the 8558 - key outside, nothing inside.

Ten finishes, all on a solid brass body: Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its shine, which matters if you're matching it to other hardware in the same room.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. That's why the unlacquered brass (US3NL) option behaves the way it does, the finish wears into a patina rather than flaking off a plated base. It's part of Emtek's Brass collection in the Saratoga design.
