Emtek S50003-SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Square stainless deadbolt fit a 1-3/8 inch door, and what about a thicker entry door?
The Emtek Square deadbolt covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the single cylinder version ships with an extension collar for the thin end of that range. Standard build is set up for 1-3/4 inch, which is the usual commercial and entry door thickness, so if your door is thicker or thinner than that, state the thickness on the order (there is a Door Thickness field for exactly that). Anything above 2 inch is outside this bolt.
2) Will the Emtek Square deadbolt drop into my existing deadbolt holes?
If the door is already bored to standard deadbolt prep it will. The Square deadbolt uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, which is the standard tubular deadbolt prep, and it is a tubular lock rather than a mortise case. Backset is the part to get right: it comes in 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch and you pick it on the order. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing hole before you choose. Handing is not a factor, the same bolt works on a left or right hand door.
3) Can I key the Emtek Square deadbolt to match the Schlage keys I already carry?
Yes. It ships with a Schlage C keyway as standard in a solid brass cylinder, so it takes the same keys as the rest of a Schlage C system. Keying to an existing code is an option on the order, and you can also take it keyed alike across multiple deadbolts if you are doing several doors at once. If your building is on Weiser instead, ask for the Weiser WR5 keyway version, which is specified by adding a W to the front of the product code and keys into an existing Weiser system.
4) Single cylinder or double cylinder deadbolt, which one should I order?
Two functions are built on the Emtek Square: single cylinder, S50003SS, which is key outside and thumbturn inside, and double cylinder, S50023SS, which is keyed on both faces. Double cylinder is what people specify next to glass, so nobody can break a light and reach the turn. The trade-off is that a double cylinder needs a key to get out, which many jurisdictions do not allow on a required egress door in an occupied dwelling. If the door is a main exit, single cylinder is the safe choice. Note the extension collar for thin doors comes with the single cylinder.
5) Is the Emtek Square deadbolt suitable for a commercial building or apartment turnover work?
Emtek lists the Square stainless deadbolt as residential hardware, and it carries no commercial grade rating. For a single family entry, a condo, or a high end residential unit it is the right kind of product, contemporary square trim in brushed stainless. For a commercial opening or a high traffic multi-family corridor where a spec calls out an ANSI grade, go to a graded deadbolt instead: the Accentra D111 and the Delaney LM Series are Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts, and the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn on the same Schlage C keyway so it keys into the same system.
6) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Emtek Square deadbolt for a commercial opening?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a residential tubular deadbolt in a cylinder x thumbturn function. For an opening that has to be specified Grade 1, the Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn, and the Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt in the same function. The Dexter DB1000 Series DB1000-SCT is Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range. All three keep the keyed-outside, turn-inside operation, so the user experience at the door is unchanged.
7) I need a deadbolt on a fire rated door - what should I order instead of the Emtek Square?
Look at the Hager 3115, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Hager 3215 is a single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw, Grade 2 commercial, also fire rated across the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range. If a double cylinder is required, the Hager 3214 is the fire rated Grade 2 double cylinder in that family. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. All four keep the Schlage C keyway family the Emtek Square uses as standard, so an existing Schlage C keying system carries over.
8) The Emtek Square deadbolt takes a fixed backset - what deadbolt adjusts to fit either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 without picking one at order time?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset as standard and 2-3/4 inch has to be specified. If you would rather carry one part that fits either bore, 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, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset and an ADA ergonomic thumbturn over the same door range, and the Brinks Raleigh E2401 is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with an adjustable backset for openings that need the higher grade.
9) What deadbolt takes an interchangeable core instead of the Emtek Square's fixed brass cylinder?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt uses a solid brass cylinder in a Schlage C keyway and is keyed at order. For a facility that rekeys with cores, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt built for an interchangeable core and supplied non-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. The Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn. Each lets your locksmith drop in the facility's own core rather than keying the lock to a supplied cut.
10) My door is 2 inches thick - which deadbolts cover that when the Emtek Square's range stops short?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, with a standard door thickness of 1-3/4 inch and an extension collar included on the single cylinder for thin doors. The Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt that also covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If the door runs thicker than 2 inches, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
11) What should I use instead of the Emtek Square deadbolt on an exit door where nobody should need a key from inside?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a keyed lock with a cylinder x thumbturn function. On an exit-only opening, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, in a blank plate x thumbturn function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - blank on the outside, turn on the inside. The Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt for a door with no through-bore. For a keyed-outside, blank-inside arrangement, the Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in cylinder x blank for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) Which of the deadbolt alternatives are mortise, not tubular like the Emtek Square?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a tubular deadbolt using a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore, so it fits a standard tubular prep. Several look-alike alternatives will not drop into that hole: the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise dead bolt with a D cylinder in Schlage keyways, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, and the DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions on 1-3/4 inch doors - a strike, not a lock. Each of those needs a mortise pocket cut into the door edge rather than the round bores the Emtek uses.
13) What deadbolt do I use for a classroom function instead of the Emtek Square?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a straight cylinder x thumbturn residential deadbolt. For classroom function, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt lock with an adjustable backset, and the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation. The Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset in cylinder x thumbturn for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) What is the alternative to the Emtek Square deadbolt on an aluminum storefront or narrow stile door?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a tubular deadbolt cut for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which a narrow stile will not take. For those openings, the International Door Closers DH-1821 is a hook bolt deadlock with a flat faceplate, the DT-1851 is a long throw deadlatch lock with a flat faceplate, and the DL-4511 is a deadlatch lock with a flat faceplate. For a door needing locking on the hinge side as well, the Detex DX Series provides hinge side locking dead bolts with multi-point security.
15) Which alternative deadbolts also take a Schlage C keyway so they key into the same system as the Emtek Square?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt uses a Schlage C keyway as standard, with a Weiser WR5 keyway available by adding a W to the product code at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution. Among the alternatives, the Hager 3115 and Hager 3214 both carry a Schlage C keyway, the Hager 3118 pairs Schlage C with a 6-pin cylinder, and the Dormakaba D900 mortise dead bolt is supplied keyed different with SC keyways. Mixing those on one property keeps a single key system across the doors.
16) What do I have to specify when ordering the Emtek Square deadbolt?
Four decisions. Backset, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, is required. Function, single or double cylinder. Keying, either keyed different or keyed alike, with an optional field to key to an existing code. And keyway, Schlage C as standard or Weiser WR5 at no cylinder upcharge. Door thickness only needs stating if it is not 1-3/4 inch. There is also a split finish option if you want a different finish on each face of the door.
17) What else looks like the Emtek Square deadbolt if I want square contemporary trim from another brand?
Square contemporary trim is the look here, in brushed stainless steel with a stainless collar and rosette. Close alternatives we carry: the Baldwin Reserve Double Cylinder Contemporary Square Deadbolt, the Bravura 310SC Elite square deadbolt, which is Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn, the Callan Model 200S with square trim, Grade 3 single cylinder, and the Brinks Mendocino Series contemporary square single cylinder, which has a 4 way adjustable backset if you do not want to commit to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 at order time. The Emtek is the one that lets you choose keyway and key it into an existing Schlage C or Weiser system.
18) I need several deadbolts across a building to open on one key. Can I do that with these?
Yes, order them keyed alike and every bolt in the batch takes the same key. That is the keying choice on the order form, keyed different or keyed alike, and you can also supply an existing key code so the new bolts fold into a system already on the property. Because the standard cylinder is Schlage C, the existing lockset keys are usually already compatible; if the property runs Weiser, take the WR5 keyway version at no cylinder upcharge and it keys into that system instead.
19) I need a deadbolt with a keyed lever handle set - is the Emtek Square that?
No. The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a deadbolt only, with no latch or handle - it is ordered alongside a knob or lever set. If you want the deadbolt and the entry handle as one interconnected unit, the Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt. That is a different door prep from the Emtek's separate 2-1/8 inch cross bore.
20) Is there a keypad or electronic version of a deadbolt like the Emtek Square?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a mechanical, non-electronic lock. For credential or code entry, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, 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 electronic deadbolt. The Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish, which mounts on the face of the door rather than through a tubular bore.
21) Is the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square deadbolt a direct swap for the Emtek Square?
Not on the function. The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is sold in both single cylinder (S50003SS) and double cylinder (S50023SS), so it can be ordered as cylinder x thumbturn or keyed both sides. The Baldwin Reserve DC.CSD is a contemporary square deadbolt in double cylinder function, so it matches the S50023SS side of the range and not the thumbturn version. Its round counterpart, the Baldwin Reserve DC.CRD, is also double cylinder. The Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt in the Estate Series with an entrance function.
22) What double cylinder deadbolt matches the Emtek Square's stainless finish for a glass panel door?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt offers a double cylinder version, the S50023SS, in brushed stainless steel. The Delaney LU Series 320601 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt in a stainless steel US32D finish. If the opening needs a Grade 1 double cylinder, the Design Hardware D1 Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB1000-DCT is Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors.
23) What is a simpler round-trim deadbolt if the square trim of the Emtek is not required?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt carries square trim in a contemporary theme. In round trim, the Bravura 310RC Elite BV310601 is a Grade 2 contemporary round deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn, and the Bravura 310B Elite BV310001 is the Grade 2 traditional round version of the same function. The Callan 200S-G2 is a Grade 2 single cylinder round trim deadbolt, and the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard. All four keep the keyed-outside, thumbturn-inside operation.
24) Which of these alternatives are parts rather than complete deadbolts?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a complete lock and ships with a brass trim strike and heavy gauge steel understrike. Several items that come up alongside it are components: the BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, the Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer for double cylinder applications, and the Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with a straight lip. Order those only when you are servicing an existing lock, not when you need the whole deadbolt.
25) What is a code-entry deadbolt that mounts on the door face rather than through the Emtek Square's bores?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt goes through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore in the door. If you do not want to bore the door, the Codelocks CL200 is a light duty surface deadbolt with key override and the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, both mounting on the face. The Codelocks CL160 is a light duty mortise latch with a QuickCode function, which does require a mortise pocket.
26) Which mid-grade deadbolts sit between the Emtek Square and a Grade 1 commercial lock?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a residential tubular deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn. If a Grade 2 is enough for the opening, the Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in the DBX Series, the Dexter DB2000-SCT is Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LA is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Bravura BV910005 is a Grade 2 rectangle single cylinder deadbolt. The Kaba Ilco 4500 Series is a heavy duty professional deadbolt.
27) Is there an ADA-friendly thumbturn deadbolt to use in place of the Emtek Square?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt is a cylinder x thumbturn lock with a square stainless steel thumbturn. Where the facility calls for an easier grip, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn and an adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, in the Chelsie LSD Series.
28) Do I need to know the handing of my door to order this Emtek deadbolt?
No handing required on the Square deadbolt. It installs the same on a left or right hand door, inswing or outswing, so you only need the backset, the door thickness if it is not 1-3/4 inch, and your keying. That is one less thing to get wrong when you are ordering for several units at once.
29) What deadbolt goes with an existing Dormakaba M1000 Series trim instead of the Emtek Square?
The Emtek Stainless Steel Square Deadbolt comes with its own stainless steel collar and rosette. The Dormakaba M1960 is an M1000 Series single cylinder deadbolt in cylinder x turn supplied with no trim, so it suits an opening where the trim is already specified separately or carried over.
