Tell DB2060-SC-US3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Tell DB2060 deadbolt fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch door?
Both. The DB2060 covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch (35mm to 45mm), which takes in older interior and residential doors as well as standard commercial-thickness doors. No spacer kit or separate part number for the thinner door, the same lock handles the range.
2) Do I have to know my backset before ordering the Tell DB2060 deadbolt?
No. The DB2060 latch is adjustable between a 2-3/8 inch and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two backsets you'll find on virtually every bored door prep in North America. One part covers both, so you can carry a single SKU on a service truck and set it at the door.
3) What is the difference between the IC less core version and the Schlage C keyway version of the Tell DB2060?
The Schlage C option ships as a complete keyed deadbolt with a conventional cylinder, ready to key and hang. The IC less core option ships prepped for an interchangeable core but with no core in it, so you supply and key your own core from whatever system your building already runs. Both cylinder types are offered in all four finishes: 605 bright brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 black, and 630 satin stainless.
4) Can I get a batch of Tell DB2060 deadbolts all keyed to the same key?
Yes. Keying is a required selection on the DB2060: keyed alike for multiple locks on one key, keyed different for individual keys, or none if you're taking the less-cylinder route. There's also a key code field, so if you're adding doors to a building that already runs a code, enter it and the new bolts will match the keys your tenants and maintenance staff already carry.
5) Is the Tell DB2060 heavy enough for an apartment entry door, or should I step up to a Grade 1 deadbolt?
The DB2060 is a Grade 2 bolt and Tell lists it as residential duty, which suits apartment and single-family entries, rental turns, and interior unit doors. For a high-traffic commercial opening, a main building entrance, or anywhere a specification calls out Grade 1, step up instead to something like the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder or the Accentra D111, both Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn bolts.
6) What is a direct equivalent to the Tell DB2060 single cylinder deadbolt from another brand?
The Tell DB2060 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The closest straight equivalents are the Dexter DB2000-SCT, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 3115, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt in Schlage C keyway covering the same door range. The Arrow DBX61 is also a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, and the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard.
7) Can I use the Tell DB2060 on a fire rated door, or do I need something else?
The DB2060 is a Grade 2 deadbolt catalogued for residential use. Where a fire rated opening is involved, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw that carries a fire rating and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. Always verify the label on the door leaf against the hardware listing.
8) I need a Grade 1 deadbolt instead of the Grade 2 Tell DB2060 - what should I use?
The Tell DB2060 is a Grade 2 deadbolt, which is medium-duty. If a spec calls for Grade 1, the Dexter DB1000-SCT is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt. The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with an adjustable backset like the DB2060's.
9) The Tell DB2060 has a thumbturn inside - what do I use if the opening needs a key on both sides?
The DB2060 is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. For a key on both sides, the Dexter DB2000-DCT is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt in Schlage C keyway over the same door range. The Delaney LU Series 320601 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt in US32D stainless. Double cylinder deadbolts are restricted on egress doors in many jurisdictions, so confirm the local code before specifying one.
10) Which deadbolt should I order instead of the Tell DB2060 for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Tell DB2060 fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so a thicker door needs a different unit. The Deltana 7312KA2 double cylinder Grade 3 deadbolt covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Dexter DB1000-SCT Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
11) I want the same deadbolt as the Tell DB2060 but with an interchangeable core - what are my options?
The Tell DB2060 is offered in an IC less core version as well as a conventional Schlage C keyway version, so it already covers IC applications. If you need an alternate brand, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 interchangeable core single deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D. All less core units require the core ordered separately.
12) Is a single cylinder deadbolt like the Tell DB2060 the right choice, or do I need a double cylinder?
The DB2060 is key outside, thumbturn inside (ANSI function E0152). That's the right pick for a solid door and for anywhere egress matters, since you can always get out without a key. If the door has glass beside or within it and your local code allows a double cylinder, look at a key-both-sides bolt like the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder or the Hager 3214. For an exit-only door that never needs keying from outside, Arrow's E60 is a non-keyed blank plate by thumbturn deadlock.
13) Is there a lighter-duty alternative to the Tell DB2060 for low-traffic residential doors?
The DB2060 is a Grade 2 deadbolt rated residential use. If the opening only needs Grade 3, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with an adjustable backset and the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range, and the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt over that same door range with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn. The Callan 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with square trim. Note that Grade 3 units carry a lower ANSI cycle and strength rating than the DB2060.
14) What is the difference between the Tell DB2060 and a classroom function deadbolt like the Falcon D211?
The Tell DB2060 is ANSI function E0152, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside, so anyone inside can throw or retract the bolt by hand. The Falcon D211 is a Grade 2 classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation, and the Falcon D111 is the Grade 1 classroom version. Classroom function operates from the key side only, which is why it is specified where occupants should not be able to lock the door themselves. If the opening needs occupant control of the bolt, the DB2060 is the one to use.
15) Is the Arrow E60 exit deadlock a substitute for the Tell DB2060?
No. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside, so there is no key access from the corridor side. The Tell DB2060 is keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. Both cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, but the E60 suits an exit-only opening while the DB2060 suits a door that must be keyed from outside. The Callan 205S one-sided half-bore deadbolt is likewise a single-side unit, not a keyed-outside replacement.
16) The Tell DB2060 has an adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 backset - which alternatives have a fixed backset?
The DB2060 ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset, so it covers either bore location. If you know your backset, fixed-backset peers include the Accentra D111 Grade 1 deadbolt at a 2-3/8 inch backset and the Deltana CL200LA Grade 2 single deadbolt at a 2-3/4 inch backset. For retrofit work where the existing bore has not been measured, the adjustable DB2060 or the Brinks E2401 with its 4-way adjustable backset avoids a return trip.
17) Can I swap a Tell DB2060 for an electronic deadbolt on the same door prep?
The Tell DB2060 is a mechanical Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt in a standard bored prep with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch strike. If you want keypad or credential access, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote. Surface and mortise electronic options such as the Codelocks CL2200 electronic surface deadbolt and the Codelocks CL2210 electronic mortise deadbolt use different door preps entirely, so they are not drop-in swaps for a bored deadbolt.
18) Is a Corbin Russwin DL3211 deadlock the same thing as the Tell DB2060?
They are different products. The Tell DB2060 is a Grade 2 bored deadbolt with a cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock with a cylinder outside and a blank plate inside for 1-3/4 inch doors. A blank inside plate means no thumbturn, so it is not an inside-release substitute for the DB2060.
19) Which alternatives to the Tell DB2060 also come in a Schlage C keyway?
The Tell DB2060 is offered with a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder, which suits buildings already keyed to SC. The Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt in Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 3214 is the Grade 2 double cylinder version in Schlage C, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder. The Dormakaba D900 small case mortise deadbolt is keyed different with SC keyways.
20) Does the Tell DB2060 deadbolt have handing?
No handing to specify. It's a bored deadbolt with a thumbturn inside and a cylinder outside, so it installs the same way on a left or right hand door. What you do have to get right before ordering is the cylinder type, the finish, and the keying, since keyed alike or keyed different is a required choice.
21) I want a square-trim deadbolt rather than the round housing of the Tell DB2060 - what matches?
The Tell DB2060 uses a 1 inch round housing with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate. For square exterior trim in the same Grade 2 class, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt and the Bravura 910005 is a Grade 2 rectangle single cylinder deadbolt. The Brinks E2402 Mendocino is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. The Bravura 310RC Elite is the round contemporary version if you prefer to stay round.
