Emtek 8456-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Tuscany bronze deadbolt fit my existing door prep?
It uses standard residential door prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. If your door was previously fitted with a standard tubular deadbolt, the Tuscany drops into the same holes with no new boring. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
2) Do I have to specify the backset when ordering an Emtek Tuscany deadbolt?
Yes, backset is a required choice. The standard latch is 2-3/8 inch, which is typical on residential entry doors; order the 2-3/4 inch version if your existing bore sits farther from the door edge. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch cross bore to confirm before you pick.
3) Can I key this Emtek deadbolt to my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
The Tuscany bronze deadbolt ships standard with a Schlage C keyway, so it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C system. If your building runs Weiser, order the Weiser WR5 keyway option instead (add "W" to the front of the product code) and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system at no cylinder-substitution upcharge. Keyed alike, keyed different, and keying to a specific code are all selectable at order time.
4) What is the difference between the single cylinder and double cylinder Tuscany deadbolt?
Single cylinder (models 8456FB and 8456MB) is key outside, thumbturn inside. Double cylinder (8356FB and 8356MB) takes a key on both sides, which is what people specify when there is glass next to the door and they do not want a thumbturn reachable through a broken lite. Note that many residential codes restrict double cylinder on a required egress door, so check local code before choosing it.
5) Is the Emtek Tuscany deadbolt suitable for a commercial or multi-family entry door?
It is a residential-duty tubular deadbolt, built for entry doors on homes and high-end residential openings. For a commercial opening where a graded lock is specified, look instead at something like the Hager 3215 single cylinder Grade 2 deadbolt with a 1 inch throw, or the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 double cylinder for extra heavy duty service.
6) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches. Will this deadbolt still work?
The Tuscany covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, with 1-3/4 inch treated as standard, so note the actual thickness on the order if yours is thicker than that. Above 2 inches it is out of range. If you need a heavier door covered, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock is listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
7) Which deadbolt should I use if I need to key it into an existing Schlage C system but do not want decorative bronze trim?
The Emtek Tuscany deadbolt ships standard with a Schlage C keyway, so it keys into a Schlage C system directly. For a plainer trim on the same keyway, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 3214 is the double cylinder version on the same keyway and thickness range. Hager also lists the 3118 as a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder.
8) What is a good commercial-grade alternative to the Emtek Tuscany bronze deadbolt for a heavier-traffic opening?
The Tuscany lost wax cast bronze deadbolt is a residential cylinder x thumbturn tubular deadbolt. If the opening needs a commercial-rated bolt, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt rated extra heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both trade the cast bronze decorative trim for a utility commercial look.
9) I need a fire-rated deadbolt. Is the Emtek Tuscany the right choice?
The Emtek Tuscany bronze deadbolt is a residential tubular deadbolt with a hardened steel bolt and heavy gauge steel understrike. Where the opening calls for a fire rating, the Hager 3215 single cylinder deadbolt carries a fire rating with a 1 inch throw and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.
10) The Emtek Tuscany requires a backset choice at order. What deadbolt has an adjustable backset instead?
The Tuscany bronze deadbolt is ordered with either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset latch, so the backset must be confirmed before the order. If you would rather stock one part that covers both, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 deadbolt with adjustable backset, and the Brinks Raleigh E2401 single cylinder deadbolt uses a 4-way adjustable backset.
11) Can I use an interchangeable core with the Emtek Tuscany deadbolt, or do I need a different product?
The Emtek Tuscany deadbolt is supplied with a Schlage C cylinder, with a Weiser WR5 keyway available as a substitution, so it is a conventional keyed cylinder rather than a core-accepting housing. For small format interchangeable core keying, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with an interchangeable core prep on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt.
12) What deadbolt covers a door thicker than the Emtek Tuscany's standard range?
The Emtek Tuscany bronze deadbolt is built for a standard 1-3/4 inch door and lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, with the EMPowered version reaching 2-1/4 inches. If the leaf is thicker than that band, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, matching the Tuscany's own range in a double cylinder function.
13) Is a deadlock like the Corbin Russwin DL3211 the same thing as the Emtek Tuscany double cylinder deadbolt?
No. The Emtek Tuscany double cylinder version, ordered as 8356FB or 8356MB, is keyed on both sides of the door. The Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock configured cylinder x blank for 1-3/4 inch doors, so the inside face is a blank plate with no key and no turn. Arrow's E60 is a further variation, a Grade 2 exit deadlock that is non-keyed with a blank plate x thumbturn for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) I need a deadbolt with classroom function rather than the Emtek Tuscany's thumbturn. What works?
The Emtek Tuscany is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with no classroom option. For classroom function, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with adjustable backset rated heavy duty, the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty classroom deadbolt with single cylinder operation, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder, which matches the Tuscany's standard keyway for keying continuity.
15) Does this Emtek deadbolt need to be handed?
No. Handing is not required on the Tuscany deadbolt, so the same part works on a left or right hand door, inswing or outswing. Trim is symmetrical and the bolt does not care which way the door swings.
16) What comes in the box with the Emtek Tuscany deadbolt?
Each deadbolt ships with a brass trim strike and a heavy gauge steel understrike. The bolt is hardened steel; the cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn, and rosette are solid brass. The single cylinder version also includes an extension collar for thin doors. You supply screws for the strike location only if your frame prep differs from standard.
17) What is the closest match to the Emtek Tuscany deadbolt if I want a decorative solid brass or cast finish deadbolt from another brand?
The Emtek Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze deadbolt with solid brass cylinder, housing, collar, thumbturn and rosette, offered in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze. For a comparable decorative approach, Baldwin lists the Estates 8011 contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt in the Estate Series, and the Baldwin Reserve double cylinder deadbolts come in contemporary round and contemporary square trim. Those are contemporary-styled rosettes rather than the Tuscany's cast traditional profile.
18) I want an electronic or keypad deadbolt instead of the keyed Emtek Tuscany. What are the options?
The Emtek Tuscany bronze deadbolt is a mechanical keyed deadbolt, not electronic. For a code or credential-driven bolt, 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, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. These use different door prep than the Tuscany's standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore.
19) What is a simpler single cylinder deadbolt to standardize on across a building instead of the Emtek Tuscany?
The Emtek Tuscany is a decorative cast bronze deadbolt offered in two finishes and single or double cylinder. For volume standardization on plain trim, the Dexter DB2000 Series single cylinder is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a matching DB2000 double cylinder, and the Dexter DB1000 Series offers the same pairing at Grade 1 across 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. Bravura's 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt if you want a round rosette closer in shape to the Tuscany rosette.
20) The Emtek Tuscany needs a full cross bore and edge bore. What if the door can only take a one-sided or surface mount bolt?
The Emtek Tuscany bronze deadbolt uses standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore through the door. Where you cannot bore straight through, the Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, and the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override. Those change the operation on the opposite face, so confirm which side needs access before substituting.
21) Is there an alternative to the Emtek Tuscany deadbolt with an easier-to-grip thumbturn for accessibility?
The Emtek Tuscany deadbolt uses a solid brass thumbturn on the inside in its cylinder x thumbturn function. If grip is a concern, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) Does an Arrow 460 strike work as the strike for an Emtek Tuscany deadbolt?
No. Every Emtek Tuscany bronze deadbolt ships with its own brass trim strike plus a heavy gauge steel understrike, so no separate strike is needed. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt x deadbolt functions with a straight lip on 1-3/4 inch doors, which suits a mortise lock case rather than the Tuscany's tubular deadbolt.
23) What finishes does the Emtek Tuscany cast bronze deadbolt come in?
Two bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are offered in single and double cylinder. If you want a different finish inside than out, a split finish can be specified on the order.
24) Can I match this Emtek deadbolt to the rest of the door hardware on my project?
It is part of Emtek's Tuscany collection in lost wax cast bronze, so it is meant to run alongside Tuscany knobsets and leversets in the same Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze finish. For a whole-house or multi-unit job, ordering keyed alike across the openings keeps one key working every door.
