Emtek EMP28466-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek EMP8466 EMPowered deadbolt fit a 2 inch thick door?
Door thickness is where this one gets confusing, because two different numbers are printed on the EMP8466. The mechanical deadbolt spec covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the EMPowered upgrade side is stated to fit door thickness up to 2-1/4 inches. A single cylinder unit ships with an extension collar for thin doors, so the low end of the range is handled without extra parts. On a standard 1-3/4 inch door you are well inside the range either way.
2) Does the Emtek EMP8466 deadbolt drop into my existing deadbolt holes, or do I have to re-bore the door?
It uses standard door prep, so an existing tubular deadbolt bore takes it: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Those are the same numbers a common residential deadbolt is drilled to, so on a door that already has a deadbolt you are typically swapping hardware, not drilling. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing hole to confirm which backset you have before ordering.
3) Can the Emtek EMP8466 be keyed alike with the Schlage keys I already use in the building?
Yes. The standard cylinder is a Schlage C keyway, which is the most widely used residential keyway in North America, so it can be brought into an existing Schlage C system. Keying is selected at order time: keyed different or keyed alike, plus an optional field for keying to a specific code if you are matching an existing key bitting. For a property manager standardizing a set of doors, keyed alike across the order is the option to pick.
4) What if my house is keyed Weiser instead of Schlage, can I still use this Emtek deadbolt?
A Weiser WR5 keyway cylinder is offered on the EMP8466 as an ordering choice alongside the standard Schlage C, and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Emtek specifies it by adding a W to the front of the product code, and there is no upcharge for the cylinder substitution. All five finishes are available with either keyway.
5) Is the Emtek EMPowered deadbolt suitable for a commercial building entrance?
The EMP8466 is classed residential. It is a tubular deadbolt in solid brass built for homes and residential entries, not for a high traffic commercial opening. For a commercial door, look at a Grade 1 unit such as the Accentra D111 single cylinder deadbolt or the Design Hardware D1 Series, or a Grade 2 commercial deadbolt like the Hager 3215. Those are graded products intended for that duty.
6) I want a keypad or smart deadbolt, is the Emtek EMPowered the right pick or is there something else?
The EMP8466 is the residential route: an electronic EMPowered deadbolt in solid brass with a keyed Schlage C cylinder for override, in decorative finishes meant to match interior trim. If the opening is multifamily or hospitality and you need RFID credentials, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override, or the Dormakaba Nova-D RFID multihousing deadbolt, are built for that. For a straightforward battery keypad at a lower duty, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, and the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt if the door is prepped for a mortise case rather than a bore.
7) I need a deadbolt that is keyed on both sides for a glass door, does the Emtek EMP8466 do that?
No. The EMP8466 is single cylinder, key outside and thumbturn inside, so anyone reaching through broken glass can turn the bolt. For a full lite or sidelite opening where you want key on both faces, a double cylinder deadbolt is the correct part: the Baldwin Reserve double cylinder contemporary round or square deadbolt, the Dexter DB1000 Grade 1 double cylinder, or the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 double cylinder. Check the local egress code first, some jurisdictions restrict double cylinder on a required exit.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek EMP8466 deadbolt from another brand if I need a single cylinder deadbolt that still accepts a Schlage C key?
The Emtek EMP8466 is a single cylinder deadbolt, cylinder outside and thumbturn inside, cut to Schlage C. Among other brands, the Hager 3115 is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, and the Hager 3215 is a single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw. Either keys into the same Schlage C system the EMP8466 does, so an existing key set carries over. The Hager 3115 and 3215 both fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, while the EMP8466 is prepped for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) I need a deadbolt on a 2 inch thick door - which options actually cover that thickness?
The Emtek EMP8466 is prepped for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the EMPowered conversion carries it to 2-1/4 inch. Most residential deadbolts stop short of that: the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the Cal-Royal ED500 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. If you want a double cylinder on the same thick door, the Deltana 7312KA2 is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On the commercial side, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
10) The Emtek EMP8466 is a residential deadbolt - what should I use instead on a commercial opening that needs a Grade 1 lock?
The EMP8466 is classed residential. For a 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, the Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt, the Delaney LM Series is Grade 1 single cylinder less core, and the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder is Grade 1. The Falcon D111 is Grade 1 heavy duty with an adjustable backset. All keep the outside key and inside turn arrangement the EMP8466 uses.
11) I want keyless entry on the door instead of a key cylinder - what electronic deadbolts are there besides the Emtek EMPowered?
The EMP8466 carries the EMPowered electronic conversion but keeps a keyed cylinder outside. If you want code or credential entry, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, 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 deadbolt. The Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override if you want a code with a mechanical backup.
12) My door has glass beside it and code says no thumbturn - what do I order instead of the Emtek EMP8466?
The EMP8466 is single cylinder, key outside and thumbturn inside, which is what you cannot use next to glass. A double cylinder takes a key on both sides: the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square deadbolts are both double cylinder, the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Hager 3214 is a double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, and the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder in stainless steel. The Hager 3214 keeps the same Schlage C keyway the EMP8466 uses, so one key still runs the opening.
13) We key our building on small format interchangeable cores - can I use the Emtek EMP8466?
The EMP8466 ships with a Schlage C cylinder, or a Weiser WR5 cylinder if you add a W to the product code, so it keys into a Schlage C or Weiser system rather than an SFIC one. For an interchangeable core opening, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 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.
14) The opening needs a fire rated deadbolt - which of these carry a fire rating?
For a fire rated opening, the Hager 3115, 3118, 3214 and 3215 all carry a fire rating, and all four fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with a Schlage C keyway on the 3115, 3118 and 3214. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. The Hager 3118 is the Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a 6-pin cylinder if you need the higher grade. The Emtek EMP8466 is a residential deadbolt in the EMPowered collection.
15) Is there a heavier duty alternative for a high traffic entrance where the Emtek EMP8466 would be overworked?
The EMP8466 is classed residential. For heavier traffic, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt, the Falcon D111 is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Kaba Ilco 4500 Series is a heavy duty professional deadbolt. The Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock for 1-3/4 inch doors if the opening is prepped cylindrical rather than tubular.
16) My door is not bored for a standard deadbolt - is there something that mounts without a 2-1/8 inch cross bore?
The Emtek EMP8466 needs standard door prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore. If you cannot bore the door that way, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override and the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, both mounting on the face rather than through a cross bore. The Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt if only a partial bore is possible. For a mortise pocket instead, the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt, D cylinder, keyed different with Schlage keyways.
17) Which deadbolts let me adjust the backset in the field rather than picking 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 up front?
The Emtek EMP8466 is prepped for a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. If you would rather adjust on site, the Brinks Raleigh and the Brinks Mendocino are single cylinder deadbolts with a 4-way adjustable backset, in round and square trim respectively. The Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder with an adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon D111 is the Grade 1 heavy duty version with an adjustable backset. Fixed-backset peers include the Accentra D111 at 2-3/8 inch and the Deltana CL200LA at 2-3/4 inch.
18) Does the Emtek EMP8466 need handing, and does it matter which way my door swings?
No handing to specify. The #8 deadbolt is non-handed, so the same part works on a left hand or right hand door and you do not have to determine swing before ordering. That is one less thing to get wrong on a multi-door order.
19) What is the difference between the Emtek EMPowered EMP8466 and a plain mechanical Emtek deadbolt?
The EMPowered version is the electronic upgrade of the #8 deadbolt: same brass single cylinder deadbolt body and Schlage C cylinder, but built to accept Emtek's EMPowered motorized drive so the bolt can be thrown electronically rather than only by hand. That is also why its door thickness allowance runs to 2-1/4 inches, higher than the 2 inch mechanical spec. If you want key and thumbturn only with no electronics, you want the standard mechanical #8, not the EMP version.
20) Is the Emtek EMP8466 deadbolt actually solid brass or just brass plated?
Solid brass through the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette. The moving security parts are steel where it counts: a hardened steel bolt and a heavy gauge steel understrike behind the trim strike. Five finishes are offered, oil rubbed bronze (US10B), lifetime polished nickel (US14), satin nickel (US15), flat black (US19) and polished chrome (US26).
21) Does the Emtek EMP8466 deadbolt come with a strike plate or do I need to buy one?
A brass trim strike ships with every deadbolt, along with the heavy gauge steel understrike that sits behind it in the jamb. The single cylinder version also includes the extension collar used on thin doors. Nothing further is required on the strike side for a standard jamb prep.
22) My door is thicker than 2 inches, what deadbolt should I use instead of the Emtek #8?
Once a door exceeds the range, a deadbolt built for thicker stock is the answer. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, which is the usual pick for heavy or built-up entry doors. On the Emtek side, the mechanical spec tops out at 2 inches while the EMPowered upgrade is stated to 2-1/4 inches, so measure the actual door thickness before deciding which way to go.
23) If I do not need the electronic upgrade, what is a simpler mechanical deadbolt in the same function?
The EMP8466 is set up as an electronic deadbolt in the EMPowered collection. For a straight mechanical single cylinder deadbolt in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt, the Bravura 310RC Elite is the contemporary round shape, and the Bravura 310SC Elite is the contemporary square. The Callan 200S-G2 is a Grade 2 single cylinder with round trim, and the Brinks Raleigh is a single cylinder with a 4-way adjustable backset. None of these carry a keypad or electronics.
24) Is the BEST 8T tubular deadbolt component a substitute for the Emtek EMP8466?
No. The EMP8466 is a complete tubular single cylinder deadbolt shipped with cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn, rosette, hardened steel bolt, understrike and brass trim strike. The BEST 8T is the T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, meaning the bolt mechanism alone rather than a finished lock. The Baldwin 8BR0618001 is likewise a deadbolt spacer, not a lock. For a complete deadbolt in that same cylinder x thumbturn arrangement, look at the Deltana CL200LA Grade 2 single deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset or the Cal-Royal CB160 Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard.
25) I need a thumbturn that is easier to grip for accessibility - is there an alternative to the Emtek EMP8466 thumbturn?
The EMP8466 uses a solid brass thumbturn. If grip is the concern, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn, in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Cal-Royal ED500 is the Grade 3 single cylinder with an adjustable backset over the same thickness range if backset flexibility matters more than the turn shape.
26) Can the Arrow 460 or the Arrow E60 replace the Emtek EMP8466?
Neither swaps in. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip - it is the strike side of the opening, not the lock. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside, so it throws the bolt from inside only with no key outside. The EMP8466 is keyed with a cylinder outside and thumbturn inside. For a keyed replacement in that same function, the Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt, cylinder x thumbturn. If a blank outside is what you actually want, the Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt.
27) Which alternatives handle a classroom function where the key controls the bolt from outside?
The Emtek EMP8466 is a residential single cylinder deadbolt. For a classroom deadbolt, the Falcon D111 is Grade 1 heavy duty with an adjustable backset, the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty version, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in classroom function, cylinder outside and blank inside, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
28) I want the deadbolt and the entry handle to work off one lock - what should I look at instead?
The Emtek EMP8466 is a standalone tubular deadbolt with no latch. If you want the knob or lever and the deadbolt tied together, the Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt, so one motion retracts both. The Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt in entrance function if you are staying with a separate bolt but want a keyed inside.
29) I want a square trim deadbolt rather than the round American Classic look - what carries that shape?
The Emtek EMP8466 is styled American Classic in solid brass. For a squared trim, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, the Brinks Mendocino is a contemporary square single cylinder with a 4-way adjustable backset, the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square is a double cylinder, and the Callan 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder with square trim. The Bravura Rectangle is a Grade 2 rectangle single cylinder if you want a longer plate.
30) The bolt needs to release from an access control system - is there a deadbolt that does that instead of the Emtek EMP8466?
The EMP8466 is a keyed mechanical bolt thrown by key or thumbturn even with the EMPowered electronics. For a bolt driven by an access control circuit, the DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt. The Detex DX Series is a hinge side locking deadbolt with multi-point security if the concern is securing the hinge edge of the opening.
