Weslock 07972-1-1SL23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Weslock 7972 deadbolt fit my existing door prep?
The 7972 double cylinder deadbolt drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and works with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it suits the two bore sizes used on nearly every residential entry door. The latch faceplate measures 1 x 2-1/4 inch. If your current deadbolt has that same face cutout, it is a direct swap with no new mortising.
2) What does double cylinder mean on the Weslock 7972, and should I use it?
Double cylinder means a key is required on both sides, inside and out. There is no thumbturn. That is what you want on a door with glass beside or within it, since breaking the glass and reaching through gets an intruder nowhere. The tradeoff is egress: anyone inside needs a key to get out, and many jurisdictions restrict double cylinder bolts on required exit doors in dwellings. If that is a concern, a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt such as the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder is the function to order instead.
3) Can the Weslock 7972 be keyed to match my other Weslock locks?
Yes. The 7972 uses a 5 pin cylinder in the Weslock keyway, and keying is selected when you order: keyed different, or keyed alike with a key code entered so multiple locks share one key. If your existing entry sets are Weslock, they run the same keyway and can be keyed into the same set. It will not key to a Schlage or Kwikset keyway.
4) I need the same look as the Weslock 7972 but keyed outside with a thumbturn inside - what should I order?
The 7972 is keyed on both sides, which many jurisdictions restrict on a required egress door. For a cylinder by thumbturn deadbolt instead, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, and the Brinks Mendocino Series is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. Both keep the squared trim profile of the 7972 while letting the inside turn without a key.
5) Is there a commercial-rated double cylinder deadbolt to use instead of the Weslock 7972 on a light commercial door?
The Weslock 7972 is catalogued for residential use. For a commercial opening, the Hager 3214 is a double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Delaney LU Series double cylinder deadbolt is Grade 2 in stainless steel US32D. The Hager keyway matters if the building is already on Schlage C, since the 7972 uses the Weslock keyway.
6) Is the Weslock 7972 deadbolt rated for a commercial building?
It meets ANSI A156.2 Grade 2, but Weslock lists the Molten Bronze line as residential hardware. For apartments, single family homes, and light multi-family it is the right class of lock. For a commercial opening under heavy daily traffic, look at a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt like the Design Hardware D1 Series or the Dexter DB1000 double cylinder.
7) How far does the Weslock 7972 stick out from the door face?
The escutcheon measures 4 x 2-3/4 inches with a 3/4 inch projection off the door face. That low profile matters if you have a storm door or screen door swinging close to the slab, or a narrow stile where a 4 inch plate has to sit clear of the glass bead.
8) Does the Weslock 7972 come with a strike, or do I need to order one?
The strike is included. The 7972 ships with an adjustable latch and a deadbolt strike, so the bolt, the faceplate, both cylinders and the frame strike are all in the box. Nothing extra is required beyond the keying choice you make at order time.
9) I need a square double cylinder deadbolt but not a residential one. What else is there?
Square trim double cylinder options across brands: the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square double cylinder deadbolt is the closest match in shape, the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc is brass double cylinder in a round disc trim, and the Delaney LU Series is a Grade 2 double cylinder in stainless US32D. For the heaviest duty, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder built for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) What other decorative double cylinder deadbolts have a square rose like the Weslock 7972?
The 7972 uses square trim in the Molten Bronze collection with a 4 inch by 2-3/4 inch escutcheon and 3/4 inch projection. For a comparable square decorative profile, the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square deadbolt is double cylinder, and the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc deadbolt is a brass double cylinder with a disc-shaped rose if you want a rounder face in the same decorative class.
11) Will a Baldwin 8BR0618001 deadbolt spacer work with the Weslock 7972?
No. The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a spacer component for Baldwin double cylinder deadbolts, not a complete lock, and it is built to Baldwin's own trim. The Weslock 7972 ships as a complete double cylinder deadbolt with adjustable latch and strike, with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Likewise the BEST 8T tubular deadbolt tube is a component of a BEST T Series assembly, not a substitute lock.
12) The door has no bore for a deadbolt - is the Weslock 7972 still the right part?
The Weslock 7972 is a bored deadbolt needing a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch latch faceplate mortise. If you cannot bore the slab through, the Callan Model 205S is a one-sided half-bore deadbolt, and the Codelocks CL200 is a surface mounted deadbolt with key override. Both change the door prep entirely from what the 7972 requires.
13) Can I use a Corbin Russwin DL3011 in place of the Weslock 7972?
They serve different openings. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock with cylinder by blank plate trim for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so there is no key or turn on the inside face. The Weslock 7972 is keyed on both sides and is a residential product. If you want keyed outside and nothing operable inside, the Arrow E61 SFIC prep deadlock is another option in that family.
14) What finishes does the Weslock 7972 square deadbolt come in?
Two: Oil Rubbed Bronze and Matte Black. Both are on the square Woodward-style trim in the Molten Bronze collection, so if you are standardizing a building on one look, the matching Weslock entry sets in those finishes will sit consistently across the doors.
15) What is the Weslock 7972 made of?
Brass. The Molten Bronze line uses a brass substrate under the finish, which is why the oil rubbed bronze and matte black hold up on an exterior door better than a plated zinc casting. Installation screws are concealed on the trim.
16) Is there an electronic deadbolt to use instead of the keyed Weslock 7972?
If you want to drop keys entirely, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, and the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel. The Weslock 7972 is purely mechanical, keyed on both sides through a 5 pin Weslock cylinder, and can be ordered keyed alike across a set of doors.
