Emtek 8569-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek 8569 Square deadbolt have a key cylinder on the outside?
No. The 8569 Square is a single sided deadbolt, meaning it throws and retracts from a thumbturn on the inside only and there is nothing on the outside face of the door. No cylinder and no collar come with it, and it is non-keyed. If you need to lock or unlock from the outside with a key, this is the wrong part.
2) Will an Emtek 8569 single sided deadbolt fit my existing 2-1/8 inch deadbolt bore?
Yes, it drops into the standard tubular prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore. It is a tubular deadbolt, so if you are replacing another tubular deadbolt on a residential door you should be reusing the same holes. Backset is a required choice at order time, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you pick.
3) What door thickness does the Emtek 8569 deadbolt work on?
It covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and it is built standard for 1-3/4 inches, the usual exterior door thickness. Anything thicker than that has to be called out on the order, which is why there is a door thickness field to fill in. On a 1-3/8 inch older interior door it still works, it just needs to be specified.
4) Can I use a single sided deadbolt like the Emtek 8569 on an exterior entry door?
Emtek builds the 8569 for interior installation and appearance, and it is a residential product. With no outside cylinder you cannot secure the door behind you when you leave, so it suits an interior application: a home office, a storage or utility room, a door you lock from the room side. For an entry door you want a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt instead, such as the Dexter DB1000 Series single cylinder, which is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering an Emtek 8569 deadbolt?
Two things beyond finish. Backset is required, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and it must match the bore already in your door. Door thickness is an optional entry, and you use it when the door is anything other than the standard 1-3/4 inches, within the 1-3/8 to 2 inch range. There is no keying to specify since the deadbolt is non-keyed and ships without a cylinder.
6) What should I use instead of the Emtek 8569 if the door needs a key from the outside?
The Emtek 8569 is non-keyed and single sided, so it cannot be operated from the outside at all. For a keyed exterior with a thumbturn inside, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt with cylinder by thumbturn function, keeping the square contemporary look. The Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt with the same cylinder by thumbturn operation. Both put a cylinder on the exterior face, which requires a full cross bore through the door rather than the single sided preparation the 8569 uses.
7) What is the closest single sided deadbolt to the Emtek 8569 if I want a half-bore unit with square trim?
The Emtek 8569 is a single sided, non-keyed deadbolt operated by thumbturn from inside only, with no cylinder or collar, in a square shape. The nearest one sided peer is the Callan Model 205S, a Grade 3 one sided half-bore deadbolt. Both drive the bolt from the interior only, so the exterior face of the door stays blank. The Callan 205S carries a Grade 3 rating; the Emtek 8569 is a residential unit in brass with backsets of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range.
8) The opening needs a fire rated deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway - what takes the place of the Emtek 8569?
The Emtek 8569 uses the Schlage C keyway and is a residential single sided unit. Where the opening calls for a fire rated deadbolt on the same keyway, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder by thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, fire rated, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a Grade 1 classroom function on the same keyway, the Hager 3118 is fire rated with a 6-pin cylinder over the same thickness range. Both are keyed on the exterior, which the 8569 is not.
9) Does the Emtek 8569 need a hole drilled through the outside face of the door?
No through-prep is wanted on the outside face. The 8569 is a single sided deadbolt with no exterior trim, so a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore that already goes all the way through will leave a visible hole on the outside. On a door already bored through, a one-sided half-bore deadbolt like the Callan Model 205S is the type built for that situation.
10) What finishes does the Emtek 8569 Square deadbolt come in?
Seven finishes, all on a solid brass body: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). If you are matching other Emtek trim in a house, the US codes are the ones to line up. Unlacquered brass will patina over time rather than hold its as-shipped color.
11) Is the Emtek 8569 deadbolt suitable for an apartment building or commercial door?
Emtek classifies the 8569 as residential, and it is a tubular deadbolt with no grade published on it. For multifamily unit doors or anything commercial where a spec calls out a grade, use a rated deadbolt: the Accentra D111 or the Delaney LM Series are Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts, and the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard.
12) Is the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square Deadbolt a substitute for the Emtek 8569?
They share the square contemporary trim shape but not the function. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square Deadbolt is a double cylinder unit, meaning a key is required on both faces of the door. The Emtek 8569 is single sided and non-keyed, driven by a thumbturn from inside only with no cylinder or collar. If the specification calls for a key on both sides, the Baldwin is the correct part; if the exterior face must stay blank and the bolt is thrown by hand from inside, they are not interchangeable.
13) Which deadbolt covers a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches better than the Emtek 8569?
The Emtek 8569 lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, with 1-3/4 inch standard, so it already reaches 2 inch. Among comparable deadbolts, the Deltana 7312KA2 covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range as a Grade 3 double cylinder unit. For thicker stock, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors with a cylinder by blank configuration. The DL3011 is keyed on one face; the 8569 is thumbturn only.
14) I am standardizing apartment entry doors on a Grade 1 deadbolt - what replaces the Emtek 8569 across the fleet?
The Emtek 8569 is a residential single sided, non-keyed deadbolt and does not carry an ANSI grade, so a graded standardization program moves to a keyed peer. The Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, cylinder by thumbturn. The Dexter DB1000 single cylinder is Grade 1 with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range. The Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core version for facilities keying to their own cores.
15) Can I use a surface mounted deadbolt instead of the Emtek 8569 to avoid boring the door?
The Emtek 8569 is a tubular deadbolt and needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore in the door. If cutting the door is not an option, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override, and the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish, both light to medium duty. The 8569 is a non-electronic, non-keyed thumbturn unit in brass, so the tradeoff is appearance and operation, not just preparation.
16) What is the difference between the Emtek 8569 and a deadbolt with an adjustable backset?
The Emtek 8569 is ordered with the backset specified at purchase, either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Peers built with adjustable backsets cover both dimensions in one part: 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 Brinks Mendocino E2402 is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset. Both of those are keyed on the exterior; the 8569 is thumbturn only from inside.
17) Is there an ADA friendly thumbturn deadbolt to specify in place of the Emtek 8569?
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 with cylinder by thumbturn operation. The Emtek 8569 uses a square contemporary thumbturn in brass and is a residential single sided unit with no exterior cylinder. If the thumbturn shape has to meet an accessibility requirement, the LSD is the part built for it; if the exterior face must stay blank, the 8569 function is what the LSD does not offer.
18) Will the Emtek 8569 match the rest of my Emtek Square door hardware?
It is part of Emtek's Square series in the brass collection, contemporary styling, so the trim shape lines up with the other Square pieces. Match the US finish code across the openings and the deadbolt reads as part of the same set. Note the outside of the door stays blank, so on a door where the other side is visible you will see only the knob or lever trim there.
19) Is the BEST 8T tubular deadbolt tube an alternative to the Emtek 8569?
No. The BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, the bolt mechanism itself rather than a finished lock with trim. The Emtek 8569 is a complete single sided deadbolt in brass with a thumbturn, sold in seven finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15 and Unlacquered Brass US3NL. Order the 8T when replacing the bolt inside an existing T Series assembly, not when you need a working deadbolt with visible trim.
20) Emtek 8569 versus the Bravura 910005 rectangle deadbolt - which suits a contemporary square trim job?
Both are contemporary shapes but the trim outline differs. The Bravura 910005 is a Grade 2 rectangle deadbolt with single cylinder, cylinder by thumbturn function. The Emtek 8569 is a square shape in the Square series, contemporary style, single sided and non-keyed with a thumbturn inside only, in brass across seven finishes including Flat Black US19 and Polished Chrome US26. Choose on whether the opening needs an exterior key and whether the escutcheon outline is to be square or rectangular.
