Emtek 8461-FBS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt fit my existing deadbolt holes?
It uses standard door prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and a 2-3/8 inch backset as standard with 2-3/4 inch available. Those are the same bore sizes a standard residential tubular deadbolt uses, so if your current deadbolt was drilled to standard prep it drops straight in. Check which backset your existing hole is on (measure from the door edge to the center of the bore) and order to match, since backset is a required selection.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt work on?
1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors. Standard build is set up for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the usual thickness, so if your door is thinner or thicker than that you need to state the thickness when you order. The single cylinder version ships with an extension collar for thin doors.
3) Can the Emtek Wrought Steel deadbolt be keyed alike with my other Schlage-keyed locks?
It ships on the Schlage C keyway with a solid brass cylinder, so it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C system. Keying is selected on the order as either keyed different or keyed alike, and there is a field for keying to a specific code if you are matching an existing key. If your building is on Weiser, the WR5 keyway is available instead at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, specified by adding a W to the front of the product code, and it can be keyed into an existing Weiser system.
4) Is the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt suitable for a commercial or institutional opening?
It is a residential-duty tubular deadbolt, built around a decorative wrought steel collar and rosette for a rustic look. For a commercial opening where a graded deadbolt is specified, look at a Grade 1 unit instead, such as the Accentra D111 with a 2-3/8 inch backset or the Design Hardware D1 Series double cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the opening needs a fire rated deadbolt, the Hager 3115 (Grade 2, cylinder x thumbturn, Schlage C keyway) carries a fire rating and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) Which deadbolt uses the same Schlage C keyway as the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 so it can be keyed into the same system?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt ships standard with a Schlage C keyway. The Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 3215 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw carries the same door thickness range. On the double cylinder side, the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway. All three can be brought onto the same Schlage C key system as the Emtek without a cylinder swap.
6) What double cylinder deadbolt can replace the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 8361 on a door with glass beside it?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 is sold in a double cylinder version under the 8361 part number in Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel. For the same key-both-sides arrangement from another maker, the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder is a Grade 1 deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder is Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Design Hardware D1 Series double cylinder is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Delaney LU Series double cylinder deadbolt is a Grade 2 option in a Stainless Steel US32D finish.
7) What deadbolt should be used instead of the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 on a fire rated door?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt is a residential product. When the opening requires a fire rated deadbolt, the Hager 3115 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, the Hager 3215 single cylinder deadbolt, and the Hager 3214 double cylinder deadbolt all carry a fire rating and cover doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch in a cylinder x thumbturn function.
8) Is a deadlock like the Arrow E60 the same thing as the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt?
No. The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 is a keyed deadbolt in a cylinder x thumbturn function - key on the outside, turn on the inside. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, in a blank plate x thumbturn function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, meaning there is no key access from the outside at all. The Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, which also does not give outside key control. If the door needs to be unlocked with a key from outside, neither of those substitutes.
9) What deadbolt takes an interchangeable core instead of the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 fixed cylinder?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt uses a solid brass cylinder in a Schlage C keyway, with a Weiser WR5 cylinder available as a substitution. If the facility is standardized on interchangeable cores, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with interchangeable core in a cylinder x thumbturn function on a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in Dull Chrome US26D.
10) Which deadbolt matches the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 on a 2-3/8 inch backset from a Grade 1 line?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt ships standard with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch and can be ordered with 2-3/4 inch instead. The Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt built on a 2-3/8 inch backset in a cylinder x thumbturn function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For the 2-3/4 inch backset side, the Deltana CL200LA is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset in the same function.
11) Is a mortise deadlock a substitute for the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt?
No - the door prep is different. The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 is a tubular deadbolt that goes into a standard bored prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise dead bolt is a cylinder x thumbturn lock that requires a mortise pocket in the door edge, and the International Door Closers DH-1821 hook bolt deadlock is likewise a mortise style lock. Fitting either means machining the door for a mortise case rather than boring it.
12) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt?
No handing to specify. The deadbolt is non-handed, so the same part works on a left or right hand door swinging either way. What you do have to specify is backset, keying, and door thickness if it is not 1-3/4 inches.
13) What comes in the box with the Emtek Wrought Steel deadbolt, and do I need to buy a strike separately?
A brass trim strike ships with every one of these deadbolts, along with a heavy gauge steel understrike behind it, so you are not buying strike hardware separately. The bolt itself is hardened steel and the collar and rosette are wrought steel. Single cylinder units also include the extension collar used on thinner doors.
14) Which backset should I order on the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt for a fleet of doors?
Measure one door: 2-3/8 inches is the standard latch supplied and 2-3/4 inches is the alternative, and you have to pick one on the order. On residential entry doors 2-3/8 is far more common; 2-3/4 shows up more on commercial-width stiles. If the doors in the building are mixed, order per opening rather than assuming one number covers the property.
15) What is a simpler single cylinder deadbolt than the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 for rental turnover?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 single cylinder deadbolt, sold as 8461, uses a solid brass cylinder with a wrought steel collar and rosette. For a plainer keyed deadbolt in the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with square trim. The Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt in the same function if a step up in grade is wanted across a set of units.
16) What deadbolt fits a door thicker than the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 range covers?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt is built around a standard 1-3/4 inch door, with the EMPowered version reaching up to 2-1/4 inch. If the door is heavier than that, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. For a thinner door, the Deltana 7312KA2 Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
17) Can a Corbin Russwin DL3211 be used in place of the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt?
They are not interchangeable in operation. The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, so it can be retracted from inside without a key. The Corbin Russwin DL3211 and DL2211 are Grade 1 cylindrical deadlocks in a cylinder x blank configuration for 1-3/4 inch doors, with no inside thumbturn. That is a different security decision for the opening, and it changes what an occupant can do from the inside.
18) What deadbolt has an ADA friendly thumbturn compared to the Emtek Wrought Steel #1?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt uses a wrought steel collar and rosette with a thumbturn on the inside. Where an easier-to-grip turn is called for, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn in a cylinder x thumbturn function, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. It keeps the same key-outside, turn-inside operation.
19) What is a keyless alternative to the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt for a door with rotating occupants?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 is a mechanical, non-electronic deadbolt keyed to a Schlage C keyway. For an opening where codes or credentials beat cutting keys, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override in a light duty rating, the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in a Brushed Steel finish rated medium duty, and the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote. Note the Codelocks units are surface mounted rather than fitting the standard bored prep the Emtek uses.
20) What deadbolt has an adjustable backset if the door prep for the Emtek Wrought Steel #1 is unknown?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt requires the backset to be specified at order - 2-3/8 inch standard or 2-3/4 inch. When the existing bore has not been measured, an adjustable-backset deadbolt avoids the wrong call: the Brinks Raleigh Series is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset, the Brinks Mendocino Series is the contemporary square version of the same, and the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with adjustable backset in a cylinder x thumbturn function.
21) Can I get the Emtek Wrought Steel deadbolt in a different finish inside than outside?
Yes, split finish is an option you can call out on the order. The two stocked finishes are Flat Black Steel (FBS) and Satin Steel (SWS), and both are offered in single and double cylinder.
22) What is a contemporary styled deadbolt to use instead of the rustic Wrought Steel #1 from Emtek?
The Emtek Wrought Steel #1 deadbolt is a Wrought Steel collection piece in a rustic style, offered in Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel. For a cleaner modern face on the door, the Bravura 310RC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary round deadbolt and the Bravura 310SC Elite is the contemporary square version, both cylinder x thumbturn. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square deadbolts are double cylinder if the door calls for key access on both sides.
