Tell DB2062 - Grade 2 Double Cylinder Deadbolt

Both. The DB2062 double cylinder deadbolt covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch (35mm to 45mm), so it works on older interior-weight doors as well as standard commercial 1-3/4 inch slabs. Backset is adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch, so it drops onto either of the two common bore layouts without a second part number.

A double cylinder deadbolt like the Tell DB2062 takes a key on both sides, with no thumbturn, which is what people specify for doors with glass or a sidelight next to the bolt so an intruder cannot reach through and turn it. The tradeoff is egress: nobody gets out without a key, and that rules it out for most code-governed exits and makes it a poor choice for bedrooms or units with children. If you need key outside and turn inside, go to a cylinder x thumbturn model such as the Dexter DB2000 Series single cylinder, which is also Grade 2 and covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range.

The DB2062 uses a standard 1-1/8 inch x 2-3/4 inch strike, which is the common tubular deadbolt strike size, so if your frame is already prepped for a residential-style deadbolt strike of that footprint it should line up. The bolt housing is 1 inch in diameter through a standard cross bore, with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate, so an existing square corner mortise in the door edge works too. A radius corner faceplate prep will need the corners squared or the plate swapped.

Yes. Keying is a required selection on the DB2062: keyed different (KD) for separate keys per door, keyed alike (KA) when you want one key to operate several locks, or no cylinder at all if you are supplying your own. There is also a key code field if you need the locks cut to an existing code. For a property manager standardizing a building, keyed alike plus a specified key code is how you match what is already on the other doors.

The DB2062 ships with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, so it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C system rather than adding a second key to the ring. All three finishes are built on that same C keyway cylinder. If you already have a different keyway in the building, order it less cylinder and install your own.

No. The DB2062 tops out at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so a 2 inch slab is outside its range. For a thicker door, the Deltana 7312KA2 double cylinder covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder goes to 1-7/8 inch. Above 2 inches you are into a Corbin Russwin DL3000 Series deadlock, rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

The Tell DB2062 is keyed on both sides, so it needs a key to retract from inside. For a cylinder-by-thumbturn arrangement at the same Grade 2 level, the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway over the same door range, and the Arrow DBX61 and Cal-Royal CB160 are Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolts, the CB160 with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard. Double cylinder deadbolts are restricted on egress doors in many jurisdictions, so confirm the local code for the opening.

The Tell DB2062 is rated Grade 2. For a heavier double cylinder deadbolt, the Design Hardware D1 series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt rated extra heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB1000 series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. The DB1000 keeps the wider door thickness coverage the DB2062 offers at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, while the D1 is a single-thickness 1-3/4 inch product.

Several items sit near a tubular double cylinder deadbolt without replacing one. The Baldwin 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, not a lock. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike, hardware for the frame side. The Arrow E60 is a non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate on one face and a thumbturn on the other, so it does not key from outside at all, and the Callan 205S is a one-sided half-bore deadbolt with no outside cylinder. The Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch, which require a mortise pocket rather than the bored prep the Tell DB2062 uses.

For a rated opening, the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with a fire rating and a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door range the Tell DB2062 covers. If a thumbturn inside is acceptable, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and a fire rating, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.

Grade 2 is the middle ANSI/BHMA tier and the normal specification for multi-family and residential entry doors, which is how the DB2062 is classified (residential duty, ANSI function E0142). It will hold up to apartment turnover traffic. For a high-abuse opening or a commercial entrance where the spec calls for Grade 1, step up to something like the Design Hardware D1 Series double cylinder deadbolt, which is Grade 1 extra heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors.

Staying at Grade 2 with the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range, the Hager 3214 and the Dexter DB2000 Series double cylinder are direct alternatives, and the Hager also uses a Schlage C keyway. The Delaney LU Series is another Grade 2 double cylinder, offered in US32D stainless. Dropping to Grade 3, the Callan Model 210S and the Deltana 7312KA2 are double cylinder deadbolts, and the Deltana covers thicker doors up to 2 inches. Going the other way, the Design Hardware D1 Series is Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors.

Yes. Under keying, selecting None gives you the less cylinder configuration, which is how locksmiths and security integrators handle it when the building runs its own keyway or master system. The lock itself is built for a conventional cylinder, not a small format interchangeable core, so plan on a conventional deadbolt cylinder rather than an SFIC. If you need an SFIC prep instead, the Arrow E61 single cylinder deadlock ships SFIC prep less core.

Yes. The Tell DB2062 is Grade 2. The Callan 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, and the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, which is a wider door range than the DB2062 handles at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

The Tell DB2062 takes a conventional cylinder. For small format interchangeable core keying, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep shipped less core, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Delaney LM series is a Grade 1 less core single cylinder deadbolt in US26D dull chrome. All three are single cylinder, so they use a thumbturn inside rather than the DB2062 second key.

The Tell DB2062 is classified for residential use at Grade 2. For commercial specification work, the Corbin Russwin DL3211 and DL2211 are Grade 1 cylindrical deadlocks for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with adjustable backset, and the Design Hardware D1 series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, which keeps the keyed-both-sides function of the DB2062.

The Tell DB2062 ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset, so it fits either bore without a separate part number. If you prefer a lock built to a single backset, the Deltana CL200LA is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt at a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset and the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt at a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are cylinder by thumbturn rather than keyed both sides.

The Tell DB2062 is a keyed mechanical deadbolt. For credential or code access on the same type of opening, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt and the CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. Note the CL2200 mounts to the door surface rather than into a bored prep.

Three finishes: 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, and 613 oil-rubbed bronze. Satin chrome (626) is the match for brushed chrome and US26D-family trim on adjacent doors. All three are built on the same Schlage C keyway cylinder, so mixing finishes across a building still lets you key them all alike.

The Tell DB2062 uses a 1 inch round housing with a square corner faceplate and is offered in satin chrome, bright brass, and oil-rubbed bronze. For decorative trim in the same keyed-both-sides function, Baldwin Reserve offers a contemporary round and a contemporary square double cylinder deadbolt, the Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt, and the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc is a brass double cylinder deadbolt.
