Emtek EMTouch Electronic Keypad Deadbolt

Schlage keyway is the standard cylinder on the EMTouch, so it works with Schlage-family key blanks. A Weiser WR5 keyway is offered as the alternative, carried under the WE part prefix (WE3020US15 in satin nickel, for example, against E3020US15 for the Schlage version). Pick the keyway your property is already on so the mechanical override key fits the same system as the rest of the doors. It is a single cylinder deadbolt, so the key cylinder is on the outside with the keypad.

Usually, yes. The EMTouch is a tubular deadbolt prepped for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the prep nearly every residential deadbolt already sits in. Check two things on the door you are replacing: bore diameter of 2-1/8 inches, and door thickness between 1-3/8 and 2 inches. A new latch and strike come in the set, so the old bolt and strike plate come out with the old lock. With the bore already cut, the whole swap is Phillips screwdriver work.

Yes. The EMTouch is keyed as well as coded, single cylinder, so a mechanical key opens it when the electronics are down. It runs on a single 9 volt battery, and one is in the box with the lock. Keep a key with the property manager or in the lockbox and a dead battery is an inconvenience, not a lockout.

Emtek classes the EMTouch as residential, so it is the wrong pick for a commercial opening carrying traffic all day. For a commercial door where you still want keypad access, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt. If the opening needs a mechanical deadbolt instead, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, and the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset.

The Delaney KP400 is the nearest battery-powered electronic deadbolt in the same class. Delaney lists the KP400 as a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote. The Emtek EMTouch is a single cylinder electronic deadbolt with a touchscreen reader, brass construction, and a key override cylinder ordered in either a Schlage keyway (standard) or a Weiser WR5 keyway (optional); it stores up to 20 user codes and ships as a complete set with latch, strike, and 9-volt battery. The practical difference between them is how entry is granted: the KP400 adds remote operation, while the EMTouch is code entry at an illuminated touchscreen plus the key cylinder.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For a 2-1/4 inch door, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 cylindrical deadlock covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The DL3011 is a Grade 1 keyed mechanical deadlock configured cylinder by blank, so the inside face is a blank plate rather than a thumbturn or a keypad. If the opening needs an inside turn on a door in that thicker range, confirm the function before ordering, because cylinder-by-blank is key-only from the outside.

Emtek classifies the EMTouch keypad deadbolt as residential. When a drawing or facility standard calls out Grade 1, the mechanical options in that grade include the Falcon D111, a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset; the Dexter DB1000-SCT, a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt in cylinder-by-thumbturn function covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors; and the Accentra D111, a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are key-and-turn mechanical bolts with no code entry, so an opening that needs both a Grade 1 bolt and keyless access is usually solved with a graded bolt plus a separate access device.

Twenty user codes, and codes can be added and deleted individually, so you delete the departing tenant's code and issue a new one without touching anyone else's. It arrives programmed with 2 unique secure codes to get you in on day one. For a single unit or a small building that is plenty; for a property where you would be managing more than 20 active codes on one door, a credential-based lock is the better fit.

No. The EMTouch is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside only, so it cannot be keyed on the interior. Where a glazed door or local code calls for key operation on both faces, look at a double cylinder deadbolt instead: the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder is Grade 1 over 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches, and the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. None of those are electronic, so you give up code entry to get the second cylinder.

Codes suit a house or a handful of units: nothing to issue, nothing to replace when a resident loses it, and the EMTouch holds 20 codes you can add and delete one at a time. The ceiling is that 20-code limit and the fact that every code lives on that one lock, so a large building means walking door to door. Where residents and staff carry credentials, an RFID lock is the better structure: the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt, and the Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. Note the EMTouch is a residential lock, which matters if the doors are common-area rather than unit entries.

It ships as a complete set: deadbolt, latch, strike and the 9 volt battery. Nothing else has to be ordered to make the door work. Tool-wise you need a Phillips head screwdriver and nothing more, provided the door is already bored 2-1/8 inches with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. If the door is not bored, that is drilling work with a deadbolt boring jig before the lock goes on.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is a tubular lock that needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Two Codelocks units avoid that prep: the CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish, rated medium duty, that mounts to the face of the door; the CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt that goes into a mortise pocket in the door edge. Choose by what the door already has - a face-mount body for a door you cannot cross bore, a mortise body for a door prepped with a lock pocket.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is a standalone code lock: up to 20 user codes stored at the lock, added and deleted at the keypad, powered by a 9-volt battery. For credential-based access, Dormakaba offers the Nova-D, an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt, and the Saffire LX-D, an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. Those read a card or a phone credential rather than accepting a typed code, which is the deciding difference when the property wants credentials issued and revoked centrally instead of codes managed door by door.

They are not interchangeable. The DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt - the bolt is driven by power from an access control system, so it presumes a power supply, wiring in the frame or door, and a controller or reader to release it. The Emtek EMTouch is a standalone keypad deadbolt that runs on a 9-volt battery included in the set, is programmed at the illuminated touchscreen, and installs with only a Phillips head screwdriver into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. If the opening has no access control infrastructure, the DynaLock is not a drop-in for a battery keypad bolt.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt ships standard with a Schlage keyway cylinder, with a Weiser WR5 keyway offered as the optional cylinder. On the mechanical side, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder-by-thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a six-pin cylinder for the same thickness range. Because those share the Schlage C keyway with the standard EMTouch cylinder, a locksmith can bring the keypad door and the mechanical doors onto one key system rather than carrying a second key.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is a single cylinder lock, meaning the inside is operated without a key. Where an opening calls for a key on both faces, the Deltana 7312KA2 is a double cylinder deadbolt, Grade 3, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors - the same thickness range the EMTouch works in - and the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. A double cylinder requires a key to retract the bolt from inside as well as outside, so check the egress requirements for the occupancy before specifying one.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is ordered with a factory cylinder in either a Schlage keyway or a Weiser WR5 keyway. For an SFIC keying program, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock supplied with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder interchangeable core deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D if the core is being supplied by the facility locksmith.

A labeled fire door needs a bolt with a fire rating on record. The Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder commercial deadbolt with a 1 inch throw, carries a fire rating, and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Hager 3115 Grade 2 cylinder-by-thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway is fire rated across the same thickness range. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt supplied with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is a residential brass lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which is the choice for a dwelling entry rather than a rated assembly.

Six finishes are offered: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26) and Satin Brass (US4). All six are available in both the standard Schlage keyway and the Weiser WR5 keyway. If the exterior needs to match the entry set and the interior needs to match what is inside the house, a split finish can be specified on the order rather than forcing one finish through the door.

Projection is 1-1/2 inches off the door face, with the escutcheon measuring 6-1/4 inches in length and 2-7/8 inches in width. Take those to the opening before you commit: on an exterior door with a storm or screen door in front, measure the gap between the two slabs against that 1-1/2 inch projection, and check the 6-1/4 inch length against any lite or applied moulding above or below the bore.

The keypad carries a protective coating specifically to stop wear patterns forming on the most-pressed digits, which is the giveaway that tells someone which numbers are in your code. It is also illuminated, so it reads at night without a phone light. The lock itself is brass, inside and out.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is ordered to a chosen backset, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so the measurement has to be confirmed at the door before the order goes in. Where the backset is unknown or varies across a building, the Brinks E2401 Raleigh round and E2402 Mendocino square single cylinder deadbolts both use a four-way adjustable backset, and the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are mechanical key-and-turn bolts, so a keyless opening still needs the backset measured.

No. The BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component - the bolt tube assembly that goes into a larger lock build, not a finished lock with trim and a cylinder. Two other parts turn up in the same searches and are also not locks: the Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, and the Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with a straight lip for latchbolt and deadbolt functions on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is sold as a complete set with the latch, the strike, and a 9-volt battery, so nothing else has to be sourced to make the lock work.

The Emtek EMTouch is a deadbolt only - it throws a bolt and takes a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so the door still needs a knob or lever for the latch. The Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock that carries a single cylinder deadbolt as part of the same assembly, which puts the latch and the bolt in one prep on the door. That is the trade to weigh: the interconnected lock consolidates the hardware and is key operated, while the EMTouch adds keypad entry on a bolt installed alongside separate latch hardware.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is a keyed single cylinder lock with a touchscreen on the outside face. Where the outside must not be operable, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock configured blank plate by thumbturn - non-keyed, with a blank outside plate - for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt for a door that should not be bored all the way through. Both are thumbturn-only from the secure side, so nothing on the exterior grants entry.

The Emtek EMTouch keypad deadbolt is a tubular lock that needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore at a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset in a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door - prep a narrow stile does not have room for. Narrow stile and sliding openings are handled with mortised bolts instead: the International Door Closers DH-1821 is a hook bolt deadlock with a flat faceplate, and the DT-1851 is a long throw deadlatch lock with a flat faceplate. Those mortise into the stile and engage a keeper rather than boring through the face of the door.
