Emtek EMP28450-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek EMP8450 deadbolt fit my existing door prep?
It uses standard door prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. If your door already has a tubular deadbolt in it, the holes are almost certainly right and no new boring is needed.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek EMP8450 EMPowered deadbolt handle?
The mechanical deadbolt covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and a extension collar for thin doors ships with the single cylinder version. With the EMPowered upgrade fitted, it works on doors up to 2-1/4 inches thick.
3) Can I key this Emtek deadbolt into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are offered. Schlage C is the standard cylinder, and a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available at no upcharge so it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. On the order you also pick keyed different or keyed alike, and there is a field for keying to an existing key code.
4) Is the Emtek EMP8450 suitable for a commercial opening or apartment turnover?
Emtek lists it as residential. For multifamily and commercial doors where a graded deadbolt is specified, look at the Grade 1 Dexter DB1000 single cylinder (1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors) or the Hager 3215 Grade 2 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) What is an alternative to the Emtek EMP8450 if the door needs a key on both sides instead of a thumbturn?
The Emtek EMP8450 is a single cylinder deadbolt - key outside, thumbturn inside. If the opening requires a cylinder on both faces, the Dexter DB1000-DCT is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors and the DB2000-DCT is the Grade 2 double cylinder version for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with Schlage C keyway, and the Design Hardware D1 Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) Which deadbolt should I use instead of the Emtek EMP8450 on a commercial opening that needs a Grade 1 lock?
The Emtek EMP8450 is catalogued for residential use. For a commercial Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Accentra D111 is Grade 1 with a 2-3/8 inch backset and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with adjustable backset, and the Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
7) I need a Schlage C keyway deadbolt that can be keyed with the Emtek EMP8450 - what else uses that keyway?
The Emtek EMP8450 ships standard with a Schlage C keyway cylinder, with a Weiser WR5 keyway offered as a substitution. Among comparable deadbolts, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, the Hager 3215 is a single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt is also offered keyed different with SC keyways.
8) Which deadbolt should I use instead of the Emtek EMP8450 on a fire rated door?
The Emtek EMP8450 is a residential brass deadbolt. Where a fire rating governs, the Hager 3115 Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn, Hager 3215 single cylinder with 1 inch throw, Hager 3214 double cylinder and Hager 3118 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt all carry a fire rating and cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.
9) What deadbolt takes an interchangeable core instead of the Schlage C cylinder in the Emtek EMP8450?
The Emtek EMP8450 comes with a solid brass cylinder in a Schlage C keyway, with Weiser WR5 available as a substitution. For a small format interchangeable core program, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core and supplied without the cylinder, 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, and the Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D.
10) Do I need to specify handing for the Emtek EMP8450?
No. Handing is not required on this deadbolt, so the same part works on a left or right hand door.
11) Is the EMPowered version of this Emtek deadbolt an electronic lock?
Yes. The EMP8450 is the EMPowered electronic build of Emtek's Classic Brass regular deadbolt, single cylinder outside with a thumbturn inside. Emtek publishes an EMPowered 2 technical spec and keypad entry set installation guide covering programming and the keypad dimensions.
12) What electronic deadbolt should I use if the Emtek EMPowered won't suit a multifamily property?
For RFID and credential-managed multifamily openings, the Dormakaba Nova-D RFID multihousing electronic deadbolt or the Saffire LX-D RFID deadbolt with electronic lock override are the property-managed alternatives. The Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote if you want a simpler keypad unit.
13) Does the Emtek EMP8450 come with a strike, or do I order that separately?
Both strikes are in the box. Every one of these deadbolts ships with a brass trim strike, and a heavy gauge steel understrike sits behind it for reinforcement into the jamb framing.
14) Do the Baldwin Reserve contemporary round and square deadbolts substitute for the Emtek EMP8450?
They differ in keyed function. The Emtek EMP8450 is a single cylinder deadbolt, key outside and thumbturn inside, in the American Classic style. The Baldwin Reserve contemporary round and contemporary square deadbolts are both double cylinder function, so they take a key on both faces, and the Baldwin Estates 8011 contemporary 1-5/8 inch deadbolt is also double cylinder. If the interior side must operate without a key, those are not a match.
15) Is the Codelocks CL2210 a substitute for the Emtek EMP8450 electronic deadbolt?
They are not interchangeable in the door. The Emtek EMP8450 is a tubular deadbolt using standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore, on a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, and the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish rated medium duty. A mortise or surface-mounted body needs different door preparation than a bored tubular deadbolt.
16) What other electronic deadbolts compare to the Emtek EMP8450 EMPowered upgrade?
The Emtek EMP8450 is an electronic single cylinder deadbolt with a solid brass cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, and it fits door thickness up to 2-1/4 inch with the EMPowered upgrade. Other electronic deadbolts include the Delaney KP400, a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote; the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D, an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override; and the Dormakaba Nova-D, an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt. The Dormakaba units are credential-based rather than keypad and brass trim.
17) The door is thicker than what a standard deadbolt covers - what works besides the Emtek EMP8450?
The Emtek EMP8450 fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors as a mechanical deadbolt, and the EMPowered upgrade extends fit to doors up to 2-1/4 inch. If you need a different platform for a thick door, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. For thinner or mid-range doors, the Deltana 7312KA2 double cylinder deadbolt covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
18) What is a simpler non-keyed alternative to the Emtek EMP8450 for an interior or exit door?
The Emtek EMP8450 is keyed, with a cylinder outside and thumbturn inside. Where no key is wanted, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock with a blank plate by thumbturn function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, which uses a single-side bore rather than a through cross bore.
19) What single cylinder deadbolt has an easier-to-grip thumbturn than the Emtek EMP8450?
The Emtek EMP8450 uses a solid brass thumbturn on the interior. If grip or accessibility drives the choice, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset over the same door thickness range.
20) I want a contemporary or square rosette instead of the round classic trim on the Emtek EMP8450 - what else is available?
The Emtek EMP8450 is an American Classic style deadbolt with a brass rosette. For squarer or contemporary trim in the same single cylinder cylinder x thumbturn function, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, the 310RC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary round deadbolt, the Bravura Rectangle series is a Grade 2 rectangle deadbolt, and the Brinks Mendocino E2402 is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset.
21) If I only need a plain Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt rather than the Emtek EMP8450, what are the options?
The Emtek EMP8450 is a brass electronic-upgraded single cylinder deadbolt in the EMPowered series. For a basic mechanical Grade 2 single cylinder cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, the Arrow DBX61, the Cal-Royal CB160 with tamper-resistant cylinder guard, the Falcon D211, the Callan 200S-G2 round trim, the Bravura 310B Elite traditional round, and the Deltana CL200LA with a 2-3/4 inch backset all cover that function.
22) What finishes does the Emtek EMP8450 Classic Brass deadbolt come in?
Five: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). Each is available with either the Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder, so finish and keyway are chosen independently.
23) Is this Emtek deadbolt solid brass or plated?
Solid brass through the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn, and rosette. The bolt itself is hardened steel and it ships with a heavy gauge steel understrike plus a brass trim strike.
24) Is the Arrow 460 strike or the BEST 8T tube a replacement part for the Emtek EMP8450?
No. The Emtek EMP8450 is a complete single cylinder deadbolt and ships with a brass trim strike and heavy gauge steel understrike. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt by deadbolt functions with a straight lip, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component - a lock body part, not a finished deadbolt. The Baldwin 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer for a double cylinder Reserve deadbolt.
