Emtek 8579-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Emtek 8579 Wilshire deadbolt have a key cylinder on the outside?
No. The 8579 Wilshire is a single sided deadbolt, non-keyed, operated by a thumbturn from the inside only. There is no cylinder and no outside collar or trim, so the exterior face of the door shows nothing. That makes it an interior-use bolt: a den, a closet, a pantry, an interior office door, or the inactive leaf of a pair. If someone needs to lock or unlock the door from the other side, this is the wrong part and you want a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt instead.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek 8579 deadbolt fit?
The 8579 covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors, and ships set up for the standard 1-3/4 inch door. If the door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, that has to be called out on the order (the Door Thickness field on the order form is where it goes). Standard interior doors at 1-3/8 inches and commercial-thickness 1-3/4 inch doors both fall inside the range with no special parts.
3) Will the Emtek 8579 deadbolt drop into an existing deadbolt bore?
In most cases yes. It's a tubular deadbolt using a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, which is the standard residential deadbolt prep, so an existing bored door usually takes it without new drilling. The one thing to match is backset: order 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch to line up with the hole already in the door. Measure from the door edge to the center of the cross bore before you pick.
4) Can I use the Emtek 8579 single sided deadbolt on an exterior entry door?
Not as an entry door lock. Emtek lists the 8579 for interior installation and appearance, and it's a residential-duty product with no outside key access, so anyone outside is locked out with no override. Where it does earn its place on an exterior opening is a secondary bolt on a door you never enter through, like a rarely used patio or basement door that's locked from inside. For a keyed exterior door, use a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt 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 deadbolt matches the Emtek 8579 Wilshire on Schlage C keyway if I want the outside keyed on the same key system?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is built around the Schlage C keyway, so a keyed partner on the same openings should use that keyway too. The Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and is fire rated, and the Hager 3118 is the Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder over the same door thickness range. For a keyed-both-sides opening on the same keyway, the Hager 3214 is the Grade 2 double cylinder version.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 8579 Wilshire deadbolt if I need a key on the outside instead of a blank exterior?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is a single sided deadbolt, thumbturn only from inside with no cylinder or collar on the outside face. If the opening needs to be locked and unlocked from the outside, a keyed single cylinder deadbolt is the correct swap. The Dexter DB2000 single cylinder deadbolt is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder is the Grade 1 version of the same function across a 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range. Both give you an exterior key where the 8579 gives you a smooth face.
7) Is there another one sided deadbolt with a blank outside face besides the Emtek 8579 Wilshire?
Yes. The Callan Model 205S is a one sided half-bore deadbolt, Grade 3, which like the 8579 operates from the inside only with nothing to key on the outside. The Arrow E60 exit deadlock is another non-keyed option, a Grade 2 blank plate x thumbturn deadlock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek 8579 differs in that it is a full-bore tubular deadbolt using a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore, and it is offered in a brass residential trim across ten finishes.
8) The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is residential brass. What should I use on a commercial opening that needs a certified grade?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is a residential deadbolt in brass. For a commercial door where the spec calls out a certified grade, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch if the opening is a fire door. All three are keyed on the outside, unlike the 8579.
9) I need a deadbolt with no key on the inside for a glass front door. Is the Emtek 8579 Wilshire the right part?
No. The Emtek 8579 Wilshire turns from the inside by thumbturn and has no outside cylinder, so a door with glass beside the lock can be reached through and thrown open by hand. A double cylinder deadbolt keys from both sides instead. The Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square deadbolts are double cylinder, the Callan Model 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, and the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder is the Grade 1 version for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. Check local egress code before specifying double cylinder on an exit door.
10) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick. Will the Emtek 8579 Wilshire deadbolt cover it?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is built for a standard 1-3/4 inch door and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as supplied, with thicker doors needing to be specified at the time of order. For a thick door handled as a catalog item rather than a special, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note that the DL3011 is a cylinder x blank deadlock, keyed outside with no turn, which is the opposite arrangement from the 8579.
11) What finishes does the Emtek 8579 Wilshire deadbolt come in?
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). If you're matching other Emtek trim already on the building, order by the US code rather than the finish name, since the codes are what carry across the line. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina with handling; the rest are stable.
12) Is the Emtek 8579 a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt for a commercial job?
The 8579 Wilshire is a residential product and isn't graded for commercial specification. If the job needs a graded deadbolt, the comparable set has commercial options: Delaney LM Series and Deltana CL200LM are Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn, and Falcon D111 is Grade 1 heavy duty with an adjustable backset. Cal-Royal CB160 and Arrow DBX61 are Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn if Grade 2 satisfies the spec.
13) What's the difference between a single sided deadbolt and a one-sided half-bore deadbolt?
Both lock from one side only, but they prep the door differently. The Emtek 8579 is a full tubular deadbolt, 2-1/8 inch cross bore straight through the door with a 1 inch edge bore, so the case runs the full thickness even though only the inside face gets a thumbturn. A half-bore version like the Callan 205S is drilled only partway, which suits a door you don't want bored through. If the door already has a through-bore from an old deadbolt, the 8579 covers it; the half-bore type will not.
14) I need a deadbolt with no key on either side for a stairwell or exit door. Is the Emtek 8579 right?
For a residential interior door, yes: the 8579 gives you a thumbturn and nothing on the far side. For a commercial exit opening, it isn't the right class of product. Look at the Arrow E60, a Grade 2 exit deadlock with a blank plate on the outside and a thumbturn inside, rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The blank plate is the difference: it presents a finished exterior face built for a commercial door rather than leaving the outside bare.
15) Which deadbolts have an adjustable backset instead of ordering the Emtek 8579 Wilshire in a fixed 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is ordered with the backset chosen up front, either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. If the existing bore has not been measured yet, an adjustable-backset deadbolt removes that decision from the order. The Brinks Raleigh Series round deadbolt and the Brinks Mendocino Series square deadbolt both have a 4-way adjustable backset, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 deadbolt with adjustable backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with adjustable backset. All four are keyed cylinder x thumbturn rather than one sided.
16) Does the Emtek 8579 Wilshire deadbolt work on a door that has no bore prepped, or is there a surface mounted option?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is a tubular deadbolt and needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore in the door. Where you do not want to bore, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override, and the Codelocks CL2200 in brushed steel is the electronic surface deadbolt in that family. Both mount to the face of the door instead of through it, and both add a code or key credential the 8579 does not carry.
17) I want a keypad or electronic version of a deadbolt instead of the mechanical Emtek 8579 Wilshire. What are the options?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt with a thumbturn only. For credential-based access on the same opening, 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. The Nova-D and Saffire are aimed at managed multi-unit properties where credentials are issued and revoked centrally.
18) Will a mortise deadbolt work where the Emtek 8579 Wilshire is specified?
No, they prep differently. The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is a tubular deadbolt set into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore. A mortise deadbolt needs a pocket cut into the door edge instead. The Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt, cylinder x thumbturn, keyed different with SC keyways, and the Dormakaba M1960 is the M1000 Series single cylinder deadbolt, cylinder x turn with no trim. Neither will drop into a bored 8579 prep.
19) For a facility that rekeys often, is there a deadbolt with an interchangeable core rather than the Emtek 8579 Wilshire?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is non-keyed and ships with no cylinder or collar, so there is no core to swap. Where a facility rekeys on its own, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with an interchangeable core, supplied non-cylinder, with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D.
20) Is the Arrow 460 or the BEST 8T a substitute for the Emtek 8579 Wilshire deadbolt?
Neither is a complete deadbolt. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with a straight lip for latchbolt and deadbolt functions, so it is the strike side of an opening, not the lock. The BEST 8T is the T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, a bolt assembly that still needs trim to be a working lock. The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is a complete single sided deadbolt with brass trim, ordered in a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
21) Which deadbolt should I use on a classroom door instead of the Emtek 8579 Wilshire?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is a residential single sided deadbolt and does not carry a classroom function. For a classroom opening, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with adjustable backset, and the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation. The Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) What is the difference between the Emtek 8579 Wilshire and the Deltana 7312KA2 for a door in the same thickness range?
Both cover a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door. The Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, keyed alike in pairs, so both faces take a key. The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is a tubular single sided deadbolt with a thumbturn inside and no cylinder or collar outside, ordered in a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and finished in brass across ten options including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B and Unlacquered Brass US3NL.
23) Will the Emtek 8579 Wilshire match the look of other American Classic trim in the house?
The Wilshire is Emtek's American Classic styling in solid brass, so it reads with traditional knobsets and levers rather than contemporary square trim. For a fleet of doors, the practical match is the finish code, not the rose shape: pick one US code (say US15 satin nickel or US10B oil rubbed bronze) and carry it across the deadbolts and the passage and privacy sets. If the rest of the building is contemporary square, a Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square deadbolt is the shape that matches that instead.
24) Do I need to order a strike or any extra parts with the Emtek 8579 deadbolt?
Nothing on the outside of the door is needed, and none is supplied: the 8579 ships with no cylinder and no collar because the exterior face stays blank. What you do need to settle at order time is the backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, which is required, plus door thickness if the door exceeds 1-3/4 inches. The frame side needs a strike prepped to the 1 inch edge bore projection like any tubular deadbolt.
25) The Emtek 8579 Wilshire is an American Classic style. What deadbolts are available in a contemporary or square trim instead?
The Emtek 8579 Wilshire carries an American Classic style in brass. For a squared or contemporary trim on the same opening, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt and the Bravura 310RC Elite is the contemporary round version, both cylinder x thumbturn. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square and Contemporary Round deadbolts are the double cylinder equivalents, and the Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt. All of these are keyed from the outside, where the 8579 has a blank exterior.
