Emtek EMP28454-US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek EMP28454 Arts & Crafts deadbolt fit my existing door prep?
It drops into standard residential deadbolt prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. The standard latch ships for 2-3/8 inch backset, so specify 2-3/4 inch if that is what your door is bored for. No handing required either way.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek EMPowered Arts & Crafts deadbolt handle?
The deadbolt is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, with 1-3/4 inch as the standard build, and an extension collar is included for thin doors. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, call it out when ordering. The EMPowered side goes up to 2-1/4 inches.
3) Can this Emtek deadbolt be keyed into my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Both keyways are offered. Standard is Schlage C. Ordering the Weiser (WR5) cylinder instead carries no upcharge, and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system. Keying is selectable at order: keyed different, keyed alike, or keyed to a code you supply.
4) Is this Emtek deadbolt suitable for a commercial opening or a fire rated door?
It is a residential tubular deadbolt in brass with a decorative Arts & Crafts trim, meant for homes and residential entries. For a commercial door where you need a graded lock, look at the Cal-Royal CRB800 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, or the Hager 3115 Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, which also uses the Schlage C keyway and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) What is a straight mechanical equivalent to the Emtek EMP28454 Arts and Crafts deadbolt if the electronic upgrade is not wanted?
The EMP28454 is a single cylinder cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with an electronic EMPowered upgrade. For a purely mechanical single cylinder deadbolt in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Dexter DB1000-SCT is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Dexter DB2000-SCT is the Grade 2 version covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both keep the same standard tubular deadbolt prep and the same one-key-outside, thumbturn-inside operation.
6) I need a Schlage C keyway deadbolt for a commercial opening instead of the Emtek EMP28454. What should I look at?
The EMP28454 ships standard with a Schlage C keyway but is a residential deadbolt. For commercial work in the same keyway, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder. All three are fire rated.
7) The Emtek EMP28454 is single cylinder. What do I use on a door with glass beside it that needs key operation on both sides?
The EMP28454 is a single cylinder deadbolt, key outside and thumbturn inside, so it is not the one for an opening where you want to remove inside thumbturn access. Double cylinder options include the Baldwin Reserve DC.CRD contemporary round and DC.CSD contemporary square deadbolts, the Dexter DB1000-DCT Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors. Confirm your local code allows a double cylinder on the opening before specifying.
8) Is there another electronic deadbolt to consider alongside the Emtek EMPowered EMP28454?
The EMP28454 is a keyed electronic deadbolt in the EMPowered series with a Schlage C cylinder retained for key override. Other electronic deadbolts include the Delaney KP400, a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote; the Codelocks CL2200, a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel; the Codelocks CL2210 electronic mortise deadbolt; and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D and Nova-D, both RFID credential deadbolts, with the Saffire adding BLE and electronic lock override. The Codelocks and Dormakaba units are credential or code driven rather than decorative brass trim, so they suit different openings than an Arts and Crafts residential entry.
9) Which deadbolts look like substitutes for the Emtek EMP28454 but will not work in the same prep?
The EMP28454 is a tubular deadbolt using standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. Several items that read as deadbolts use a different prep entirely: the Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike rather than a lock, the Baldwin 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, the BEST 8T is a tube component of a T Series tubular deadbolt rather than a complete lock, and the Codelocks CL200 is a surface mounted deadbolt with key override. The Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a cylindrical deadlock but a cylinder x blank function with no inside thumbturn.
10) What is a graded alternative to the Emtek EMP28454 for a multi-family or institutional door?
The EMP28454 is a residential brass deadbolt in the Arts and Crafts style. Where a facility standard calls out an ANSI grade, Grade 1 single cylinder cylinder x thumbturn options include the Accentra D111 with 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LM, the Delaney LM Series less core version for interchangeable core keying, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 heavy duty deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. Grade 2 alternates include the Cal-Royal CB160 with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard and the Deltana CL200LA with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
11) Can I get a deadbolt like the Emtek EMP28454 that takes an interchangeable core instead of a Schlage C cylinder?
The EMP28454 uses a solid brass cylinder in Schlage C keyway, with Weiser WR5 available as a substitution, so it keys into a conventional pin system. If your building is on small format interchangeable core, 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, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt for interchangeable core with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series less core deadbolt is Grade 1.
12) Is the Emtek EMP28454 a single cylinder deadbolt, and what is on the inside?
Single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn inside. Cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn, and rosette are all solid brass, with a hardened steel bolt and a heavy gauge steel understrike. A brass trim strike ships with every deadbolt.
13) Do I need to order a strike plate separately for the Emtek EMP28454?
No. A brass trim strike ships with every one of these deadbolts, backed by a heavy gauge steel understrike. Nothing extra to buy for the frame side on a standard prep.
14) I'm replacing deadbolts on several units and want them all on one key. Can I order these keyed alike?
Yes. Keying is a required selection at order time: keyed different, keyed alike, or keyed to a specific code you provide. Choosing Schlage C or Weiser WR5 lets you match whatever system the rest of the building is already on.
15) What deadbolt handles a thicker door than the Emtek EMP28454 covers?
The EMP28454 is built around a 1-3/4 inch standard door, with the EMPowered unit reaching up to 2-1/4 inch. If you need a mechanical deadlock spec'd for thicker stock, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The DL3011 is a cylinder x blank function, so it does not give you an inside thumbturn the way the EMP28454 does.
16) I have doors of unknown backset. The Emtek EMP28454 requires specifying 2-3/8 or 2-3/4. What is adjustable?
The EMP28454 ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard and a 2-3/4 inch backset must be specified at order. If you would rather carry one part for both preps, the Brinks Raleigh E2401 round and Mendocino E2402 square single cylinder deadbolts use a 4-way adjustable backset, and the Cal-Royal ED500 Grade 3 and Falcon D111 Grade 1 deadbolts are also listed with an adjustable backset.
17) Is there a simpler non-electronic deadbolt in a decorative style similar to the Emtek EMP28454?
The EMP28454 pairs an Arts and Crafts brass rosette with an electronic EMPowered upgrade. For decorative trim without electronics, the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round single cylinder deadbolt, the 310RC Elite is the contemporary round version, the 310SC Elite is contemporary square, and the Bravura BV910005 is a Grade 2 rectangle trim single cylinder. Callan offers the 200S-G2 in Grade 2 round trim and the 200S in Grade 3 square trim. All are cylinder x thumbturn like the EMP28454.
18) The Emtek EMP28454 requires a keyed cylinder. What if the door does not need a key at all?
The EMP28454 is a keyed deadbolt with a Schlage C or Weiser WR5 cylinder outside. Where the opening needs thumbturn-only security, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate outside and thumbturn inside, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a one-sided application with no outside prep at all, the Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt.
