    Schlage B252P6 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What is the difference between a deadlatch and a deadbolt on the Schlage B250 series?
    A deadlatch uses a spring-loaded, deadlocking latchbolt with a 9/16 inch throw that relatches automatically every time the door closes. A deadbolt has to be thrown deliberately. On the B252 the latchbolt is retracted by key from either side and there is no hold-back, so the opening relocks itself the moment the door shuts. That is why it goes on pool gates and double-egress doors where nobody can be trusted to remember to lock up. If you want a bolt that stays wherever you put it, you want a true deadbolt, not this.
    2) Will the Schlage B252 latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
    The latch throws 9/16 inch and ships with the 10-001 strike, a square corner T strike with box measuring 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches. If your existing frame is cut for a 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 square corner strike, the new one drops straight in. Frames prepped for ANSI or radius corner strikes are covered by the ANSI and round corner strike options. Because this is a 9/16 inch latch rather than a 1 inch deadbolt, the strike pocket depth of an old deadbolt prep will be deeper than needed, which is not a problem, but the lip projection has to suit your jamb.
    3) Is a double cylinder deadlatch allowed on an occupied commercial egress door?
    Generally no, and that is the thing to settle before ordering. The B252 needs a key from the inside to retract the latch, with no thumbturn and no hold-back, so it does not give free egress. Its stated applications are pool gates and double-egress doors. On an occupied space where the code official requires a single motion to exit without a key, use a single cylinder function with a thumbturn instead, such as the Falcon D211 Grade 2 or the Hager 3215 Grade 2, both cylinder by thumbturn.
    4) What is the closest double cylinder deadbolt to the Schlage B252 if I need Grade 1 instead of Grade 2?
    The Schlage B252 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadlatch, key retracting the latchbolt from both sides. For a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt, the Design Hardware D1 Series is Grade 1 double cylinder, extra heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. Note the difference in bolt behavior: the B252 uses a deadlocking latchbolt that relatches automatically when the door closes, while the D1 and DB1000 are deadbolts that must be thrown by key each time.
    5) I do not need key access from both sides - what replaces the Schlage B252 with a thumbturn inside?
    The B252 is cylinder by cylinder, so both sides take a key. Where an inside thumbturn is acceptable, the Dexter DB2000 Series single cylinder is Grade 2 cylinder by thumbturn for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 cylinder by thumbturn deadbolt, and the Cal-Royal CB160 is Grade 2 cylinder by thumbturn with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard. A thumbturn allows egress without a key, which is why double cylinder is chosen only where the code and the opening permit it.
    6) Which double cylinder deadbolt keys into an existing Schlage C keyway system besides the Schlage B252?
    The B252 conventional cylinder option is a 6-pin C keyway. The Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt built with a Schlage C keyway, so it keys into the same system without a cylinder swap. On the single cylinder side, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder by thumbturn with a Schlage C keyway and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder.
    7) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what deadlock works where the Schlage B252 conventional cylinder does not?
    With conventional cylinders the B252 covers 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the FSIC less core version extends to 2-1/8 inches. Above that, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock, cylinder by blank, rated for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The DL3011 is cylinder by blank plate rather than key both sides, so confirm the inside face requirement before substituting.
    8) I want an interchangeable core deadlock - how does the Arrow E61 compare to the Schlage B252 FSIC option?
    The B252 is offered as FSIC less core (J), so the core is supplied separately and can be keyed into an existing small format system. 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, and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder interchangeable core deadbolt supplied without cylinder on a 2-3/4 inch backset. Both of those are single cylinder, so key access is from the outside only, where the B252 takes a key from either side.
    9) Is a Callan 210S double cylinder deadbolt the same thing as the Schlage B252?
    They share the double cylinder function but not the duty rating or the bolt. The Callan 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt; the B252 is Grade 2, medium duty, commercial, ANSI/BHMA E0112. The bigger difference is that the B252 is a deadlatch - the bolt relatches automatically as the door closes and is retracted by key - while a deadbolt has to be thrown deliberately. If the opening depends on automatic relocking, a Grade 3 deadbolt does not cover it.
    10) What do I have to specify when ordering a Schlage B252?
    Four decisions. Cylinder format: P6 for the 6-pin conventional C keyway, or J for FSIC less core. Finish, from seven. Keying: keyed different, keyed alike, or none if you are supplying cores. And latch: 12-100 for a 2-3/8 inch backset or 12-103 for 2-3/4. There is also a free text field for special cylinder or keying requirements, which is where master key and Primus XP program detail goes. Get the backset and cylinder format right and the rest is cosmetic.
    11) Is the Schlage B252 Buy American Act compliant for a government job?
    Yes, the B252 is BAA compliant, which is what a federal, state or institutional spec usually needs to see before it will accept the submittal. It is also certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.36 Grade 2 under function E0112, so both the domestic sourcing line and the grade line on a hardware schedule can be satisfied from the same part.
    12) What is a Grade 2 double cylinder alternative to the Schlage B252 in a stainless finish?
    The Delaney LU Series 320601 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt in Stainless Steel US32D. The B252 is Grade 2 double cylinder as well, offered in 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, and 626 Satin Chrome - 626 being the usual match for commercial stainless-look trim. Function differs: the B252 is a deadlatch, the LU is a deadbolt.
    13) I need a non-keyed deadlock for the inside of an exit door instead of the Schlage B252 - what do I use?
    The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, blank plate by thumbturn, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt where only one face of the door is prepped. Both differ from the B252, which requires a key on both faces and carries no thumbturn or hold-back.
    14) Is the Falcon D211 a substitute for the Schlage B252 on a classroom door?
    Not directly. The Falcon D211 is a Grade 2 medium duty classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation, keyed from the outside only. The B252 is double cylinder, keyed from either side, with a deadlocking latchbolt and no thumbturn. For a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt the Falcon D111 is heavy duty with adjustable backset, and the Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in classroom function, cylinder by blank, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
    15) Does a Baldwin Reserve double cylinder deadbolt work in place of the Schlage B252 on a commercial opening?
    The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square deadbolts and the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc are all double cylinder, and the Baldwin Estates 8011 is a 1-5/8 inch contemporary double cylinder deadbolt - these are decorative residential-style trims. The B252 is a commercial medium duty Grade 2 deadlatch certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.36 E0112 and BAA compliant. Where a project specifies a certified commercial grade or Buy American compliance, the decorative double cylinder deadbolts do not answer the spec.
    16) The opening needs a 1 inch bolt throw - which deadbolt gives more throw than the Schlage B252?
    The B252 deadlatch has a 9/16 inch throw, which is normal for a latchbolt that relatches on closing. The Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 commercial single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and is fire rated. Bear in mind the trade: the 3215 is single cylinder with a longer bolt that must be thrown, while the B252 secures automatically each time the door shuts.
    17) What finishes does the Schlage B252 deadlatch come in?
    Seven, and every one of them is available with either cylinder format: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. For matching a run of doors already fitted with Schlage commercial trim, 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial standard and is the finish shown alongside ND Series levers. 613 oil rubbed bronze and 622 matte black are the ones to pick when the existing hardware is dark.
    18) Can I use an electronic deadbolt instead of the Schlage B252 on a multi-family entry?
    The B252 is a mechanical, non-electronic lock keyed from both sides. Credential-based options include the Delaney KP400, a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with programmable remote; the Codelocks CL2200, a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel; and the Dormakaba Nova-D RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt. These change the credential and the power requirement, so they are a different scope of work than swapping a keyed deadlatch.
    19) What are the lighter-duty equivalents to the Schlage B252 for a low traffic door?
    The B252 is a Grade 2 medium duty commercial deadlatch. Lower duty options include the Cal-Royal ED500, a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal LSD, Grade 3 single cylinder with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn over the same thickness range, and the Callan 200S, a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt. All three are single cylinder, so they do not provide the key-both-sides operation of the B252.
    20) Is a mortise deadlock an alternative to the Schlage B252 bored deadlatch?
    They take different door prep. The B252 is a bored lockset installed through a cross bore. Mortise options include the Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt, cylinder by thumbturn, keyed different with SC keyways, and the Emtek 2050 and 2051 European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch in square and round trim. Swapping a bored deadlatch for a mortise case means cutting a new pocket in the door edge, not reusing the existing prep.

      A Sturdy Deadbolt: My Experience with the Schlage B252

      Posted by Jess on Mar 11th 2024

      I recently got my hands on the Schlage B252 Double Cylinder Deadlatch, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. I love the sturdy build and double-cylinder feature for added security. Installation was a breeze, too. However, I wish it came with more finish options to match different door aesthetics. Overall, a solid buy for peace of mind

      My Impression of the Schlage B252 Double Cylinder Deadlatch!

      Posted by Alex on Aug 7th 2023

      The Schlage B252 Double Cylinder Deadlatch from ZenSupply is pretty impressive. The Grade 2 deadbolt provides solid security for my home. However, the installation process was a bit tricky, and the instructions could be more detailed. Once set up, though, it functions flawlessly, and I feel safer with this deadlatch in place.
