Emtek EMP28468-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek EMP8468 deadbolt fit my existing door prep?
It uses standard residential door prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore, with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch supplied as standard. If your door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset, specify that when ordering. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the single cylinder version ships with an extension collar for thin doors.
2) Can the EMPowered upgrade go on a thicker door than a standard 1-3/4 inch slab?
Yes. Standard door thickness for the EMP8468 is 1-3/4 inches, and the EMPowered assembly fits doors up to 2-1/4 inches thick. Specify the thickness at the time of order if the door is thicker than standard.
3) Can I key this Emtek deadbolt to my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are offered. The standard cylinder is Schlage C; a Weiser WR5 cylinder is available instead by adding "W" to the front of the product code, with no upcharge, and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keyed alike or keyed different is selected when ordering, and you can supply a key code if you have one.
4) Is this Emtek deadbolt suitable for a commercial opening or an apartment building?
It is a residential product. The EMP8468 is a brass tubular deadbolt in Emtek's EMPowered electronic line, built for homes. For commercial doors and multi-family corridors where an ANSI grade is specified, look at a graded deadbolt such as the Accentra D111 (Grade 1, 2-3/8 inch backset, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors) or the Hager 3215 Grade 2 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw.
5) Which electronic deadbolts compare to the Emtek EMPowered EMP8468?
The EMP8468 is an electronic keyed deadbolt with a single cylinder and thumbturn. 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, rated medium duty; and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D, an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. The Emtek uses a brass cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, with a Schlage C keyway standard.
6) What is a non-electronic alternative to the Emtek EMP8468 rectangular deadbolt with the same cylinder x thumbturn function?
The Emtek EMP8468 is an electronic single cylinder deadbolt in the EMPowered series with a cylinder x thumbturn function. If the electronic feature is not wanted, the Bravura Rectangle Deadbolts single cylinder unit (BV910005) is a Grade 2 rectangle deadbolt with the same cylinder x thumbturn function, and the Dexter DB1000-SCT is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with cylinder x thumbturn covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors.
7) For a commercial Grade 1 opening, what should be used instead of the Emtek EMP8468?
The EMP8468 is a residential deadbolt in the EMPowered series. For a Grade 1 commercial specification, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset and cylinder x thumbturn function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with adjustable backset, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) Which deadbolts share the Emtek EMP8468 Schlage C keyway for keying into an existing system?
The EMP8468 ships standard with a Schlage C keyway, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available by adding a W prefix to the product code. Among comparable deadbolts, the Hager 3115 Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn, the Hager 3214 double cylinder, and the Hager 3118 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with 6-pin cylinder are all supplied with a Schlage C keyway, and the Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt is offered keyed different with SC keyways.
9) If a fire rated deadbolt is required, what is an alternative to the Emtek EMP8468?
The EMP8468 is a residential tubular deadbolt. Where a fire rating is called out, the Hager 3215 single cylinder deadbolt with 1 inch throw carries a fire rating for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 3115 Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn is also fire rated, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.
10) Which deadbolt should be used instead of the Emtek EMP8468 when an interchangeable core is needed?
The EMP8468 uses a fixed brass cylinder in a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway. For interchangeable core keying, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core less 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 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.
11) Does a single cylinder deadbolt like this need to be handed?
No handing is required on the EMP8468. It is a tubular deadbolt with a key cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door.
12) What finishes does the Emtek rectangular EMPowered deadbolt come in?
Five: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). Each is offered with either the Schlage or the Weiser cylinder. The rosette is rectangular, so if you are matching other openings in a house look for the rectangular trim rather than the round or square Emtek shapes.
13) What is actually included in the box with this Emtek deadbolt?
You get the solid brass cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, a hardened steel bolt, a heavy gauge steel understrike, and a brass trim strike, which ships with every deadbolt. The single cylinder version also includes an extension collar for thin doors. No separate strike purchase is needed.
14) Is there a double cylinder deadbolt to use instead of the Emtek EMP8468 on a glass-panel door?
The EMP8468 is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. Where a key is wanted on both sides, double cylinder options include the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square Deadbolt (DC.CSD) and Contemporary Round Deadbolt (DC.CRD), the Dexter DB1000-DCT Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Hager 3214 Grade 2 double cylinder with Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Local egress code governs whether double cylinder is permitted.
15) What deadbolt suits a door thicker than the Emtek EMP8468 range?
The EMP8468 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, and the EMPowered version fits doors up to 2-1/4 inch. For thicker commercial doors, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock is rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
16) Is there a simpler rectangular or square trim deadbolt similar in look to the Emtek EMP8468?
The EMP8468 has rectangular trim in an American Classic style with solid brass rosette. Squared trim alternatives include the Bravura 310SC Elite, a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt with cylinder x thumbturn, the Callan Model 200S, a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt, and the Brinks Mendocino Series contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset.
17) What deadbolt has an adjustable backset instead of specifying 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 like the Emtek EMP8468?
The EMP8468 ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard, with 2-3/4 inch specified if required. Adjustable-backset options include the Cal-Royal ED500, a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Brinks Raleigh Series round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset, and the Falcon D111 Grade 1 deadbolt with adjustable backset.
