Emtek EMP28464-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Rope deadbolt fit my door, and what bore and backset does it need?
The Emtek EMP8464 Rope deadbolt uses standard door prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, a 1 inch edge bore, and either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Door thickness runs 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and a single cylinder ships with an extension collar for thin doors. No handing to specify.
2) Can I key the Emtek Rope deadbolt into my existing Weiser keys instead of Schlage?
Yes. The standard cylinder is Schlage C keyway, but a Weiser WR5 cylinder is offered at no upcharge and can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Order it by adding a "W" to the front of the product code. Both keyways are available in oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel, and polished chrome.
3) Does the EMPowered version of this Emtek deadbolt fit thicker doors than the mechanical one?
Yes. The EMPowered upgrade handles door thickness up to 2-1/4 inches, where the standard mechanical prep range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches. If you are working on a heavy custom entry door, that extra range is the reason to go EMPowered.
4) Is the Emtek EMP8464 deadbolt suitable for a commercial opening?
It is a residential product. The Rope deadbolt is a tubular, single cylinder, cylinder x thumbturn lock built for homes and residential units. For a commercial door where a graded lock is specified, look at a Grade 1 tubular deadbolt such as the Accentra D111 or the Delaney LM Series, or Grade 2 options like the Arrow DBX61.
5) What is a straight mechanical equivalent to the Emtek EMP8464 Rope deadbolt if the electronic upgrade is not wanted?
The EMP8464 Rope deadbolt is an electronic single cylinder deadbolt with cylinder x thumbturn function. If you want the same cylinder x thumbturn operation without the electronics, the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder deadbolt is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn unit for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder deadbolt is the Grade 2 equivalent for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are keyed outside, thumbturn inside, same as the Emtek.
6) The Emtek Rope deadbolt is rated residential. What should I use on a commercial opening instead?
The EMP8464 Rope deadbolt is a residential deadbolt. For a commercial opening, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and fire rating for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. Both are cylinder x thumbturn like the Emtek, so the user operation is unchanged.
7) I need a double cylinder deadbolt for a door with glass nearby. What replaces the Emtek EMP8464?
The EMP8464 Rope is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside, so it will not satisfy a keyed-both-sides requirement. Double cylinder options include the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder deadbolt, Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors; the Hager 3214 Grade 2 double cylinder with Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors. Confirm local egress code before specifying keyed-both-sides.
8) My door is thicker than 2 inches. Is there a deadbolt other than the Emtek Rope that will fit?
The Emtek EMP8464 Rope deadbolt is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, with the EMPowered head fitting up to 2-1/4 inch. For a thicker leaf on a mechanical lock, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Note it is a cylinder by blank plate deadlock, so there is no interior thumbturn the way the Emtek has.
9) For an interchangeable core keying system, is the Emtek Rope deadbolt the right choice?
The Emtek EMP8464 Rope ships with a conventional Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder, not an interchangeable core. For an SFIC or IC program, the Arrow E61 Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock is prepped for SFIC less core and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with interchangeable core and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome.
10) What keying options can I request when ordering the Emtek Rope deadbolt?
Keying is selected at order time: keyed different or keyed alike, with an optional field to key to a specific code. Keyed alike is how you get multiple entry points on a house or unit turning on one key. Keying to code lets a locksmith match an existing Schlage C or Weiser WR5 system.
11) What is included with the Emtek Rope single cylinder deadbolt?
Every Rope deadbolt ships with a brass trim strike plus a heavy gauge steel understrike, a hardened steel bolt, and an extension collar for thin doors. The cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn, and rosette are solid brass. You are not sourcing a strike separately.
12) Single cylinder or double cylinder for a door with glass next to it?
The EMP8464 Rope is single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn inside. If there is glass within reach of the turn and local code allows a double cylinder, you would want a key-both-sides model instead, such as the Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Round deadbolt or the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder.
13) Do I need to order a matching electronic deadbolt if I want keypad entry, or does this one already do it?
The EMP8464 Rope is the EMPowered electronic version of the Rope deadbolt, so the electronics are part of this lock rather than a separate device. Emtek publishes the EMPowered 2 technical specifications and the electronic keypad entry set installation guide for dimensions, door prep, and programming.
14) I need a Schlage C keyway deadbolt but the opening is a commercial entry. What else is there?
Emtek's Rope deadbolt uses the Schlage C keyway but is a residential lock. For the same keyway on a commercial door, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3118 is the Grade 1 version with a 6-pin cylinder over the same thickness range.
15) What other electronic deadbolts work like the Emtek EMPowered Rope deadbolt?
The Emtek EMP8464 Rope is an electronic deadbolt in the EMPowered series with a keyed Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder. Other electronic deadbolts include the Delaney KP400, a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote; the Codelocks CL2200 electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel; the Codelocks CL2210 electronic mortise deadbolt; and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. The Codelocks units are surface or mortise mounted rather than a standard bored tubular prep like the Emtek.
16) Which deadbolts besides the Emtek EMP8464 use the Schlage C keyway so I can key them alike?
The Emtek EMP8464 Rope ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available instead. Among other deadbolts on the Schlage C keyway are the Hager 3115 Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, the Hager 3118 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a 6-pin cylinder, and the Hager 3214 double cylinder. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt is also supplied with SC keyways. A common keyway is what makes keying alike across a building possible.
17) What traditional-style mechanical deadbolt looks closest to the Emtek Rope trim?
The EMP8464 Rope is a traditional style deadbolt with a solid brass housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette. For a similar traditional round look in a mechanical lock, the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt with cylinder x thumbturn function, and the Brinks Raleigh Series is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. Both share the keyed-outside, turn-inside operation of the Emtek.
18) I need a deadbolt with an ADA-friendly thumbturn instead of the Emtek Rope turn. What are the options?
The Emtek EMP8464 Rope uses a solid brass thumbturn on the interior. If an ergonomic turn is required for accessibility, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn, cylinder x thumbturn function, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) What finishes does the Emtek Rope deadbolt come in?
Three: oil rubbed bronze (US10B), satin nickel (US15), and polished chrome (US26). All three are offered with either the Schlage C or the Weiser WR5 cylinder, so you can match the rest of the entry set without giving up your keyway.
20) Is the Baldwin Reserve deadbolt spacer or the Arrow 460 strike a substitute for the Emtek EMP8464 deadbolt?
No. The Emtek EMP8464 Rope is a complete single cylinder tubular deadbolt that ships with a brass trim strike and heavy gauge steel understrike. The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer for a double cylinder application, and the Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip. Both are components, not locks, and neither will lock a door on its own.
