Weslock 07971-1-1SL23 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Weslock 7971 deadbolt fit my existing door prep, or do I need to redrill?
The 7971 uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and an adjustable latch that covers both the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the standard residential prep on both counts. If your door already has a bored deadbolt hole, it drops in without new boring. The latch faceplate measures 1 x 2-1/4 inches, so a standard mortised faceplate pocket takes it.
2) Can I get several Weslock 7971 deadbolts keyed alike on one key?
Yes. Keying is chosen at order time, either keyed different or keyed alike, and there is a key code field if you need them cut to a specific existing code. The cylinder is a 5 pin in the Weslock keyway, so keying alike works across Weslock cylinders in that keyway, not across a Schlage or Kwikset keyway.
3) Is the Weslock 7971 a single cylinder or double cylinder deadbolt?
Single cylinder: key on the outside, thumbturn on the inside. That is the right choice for a solid door with no glass within reach of the bolt. If the door has sidelights or glass panels, a double cylinder like the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square Deadbolt or the Callan 210S takes a key on both sides instead.
4) Is the Weslock 7971 deadbolt rated for a commercial entrance or apartment corridor door?
It is a residential deadbolt, and Weslock states ANSI A156.2 Grade 2 for its lock line. For a commercial opening or a heavier-traffic multi-family entry, look at a Grade 1 deadbolt such as the Delaney LM Series or the Deltana CL200LM, or the Design Hardware D1 Series which is rated extra heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) Can a locksmith rekey the Weslock 7971 to my building's existing key system?
Only if that system runs on the Weslock keyway. The 7971 uses a 5 pin Weslock cylinder, so it will not accept Schlage C or Kwikset keys. If your masterkeying is on Schlage C, the Hager 3115 and Hager 3215 deadbolts ship with the Schlage C keyway instead.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Weslock 7971 single cylinder deadbolt with square trim?
The Weslock 7971 carries square trim in the Molten Bronze collection with a cylinder x thumbturn function. For a square-trim single cylinder deadbolt from another maker, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt with the same cylinder x thumbturn function, the Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt, and the Brinks Mendocino E2402 is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. All three key from outside and turn from inside the same way the 7971 does.
7) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Weslock 7971 deadbolt for a heavier-use opening?
The Weslock 7971 is a single cylinder deadbolt with a cylinder x thumbturn function, built to ANSI A156.2 Grade II and catalogued for residential use. Where an opening calls for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, also cylinder x thumbturn, and the Dexter DB1000-SCT is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range. Both keep the same key-outside, turn-inside operation, so the way the door is used does not change.
8) I need a double cylinder deadbolt instead of a single cylinder - what should I order?
The Weslock 7971 is keyed on one side only, with a thumbturn inside. Where the opening has glass beside the lock and local code allows a key on both sides, the Callan Model 210S is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt, the Dexter DB2000-DCT is a Grade 2 double cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors. Verify the egress code for the occupancy before specifying a double cylinder.
9) The Weslock 7971 uses a Weslock keyway - what deadbolt takes a Schlage C key so it matches my existing keying?
The Weslock 7971 has a 5 pin cylinder in the Weslock keyway, so it keys into a Weslock system rather than a Schlage one. Where a building is already keyed on Schlage C, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw, and the Hager 3214 is a double cylinder with a Schlage C keyway. The Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder.
10) What deadbolt takes an interchangeable core instead of a fixed cylinder?
The Weslock 7971 comes with a 5 pin cylinder in the Weslock keyway, a fixed cylinder rather than a core-accepting housing. Where a locksmith keys the building with small format interchangeable cores, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep supplied less core for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with an interchangeable core and 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.
11) Can I use the Weslock 7971 on a mortise-prepped door, and what fits if I cannot?
The Weslock 7971 is a bored deadbolt: it needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch latch faceplate. A door prepped for a mortise case will not take it. For mortise prep, the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt with a D cylinder, keyed different with SC keyways, and the Emtek 2050 is a European mortise deadbolt with an integrated roller latch in a square trim, both cylinder x thumbturn.
12) Which deadbolts have an adjustable backset like the Weslock 7971?
The Weslock 7971 covers a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so one part fits either bore location. The Brinks Raleigh E2401 is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset, the Brinks Mendocino E2402 is the contemporary square version with the same 4-way adjustable backset, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder with an adjustable backset, and the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset. Fixed-backset peers include the Accentra D111 at 2-3/8 inch and the Deltana CL200LA at 2-3/4 inch.
13) Do I have to specify a backset when I order the Weslock 7971 deadbolt?
No. The latch is adjustable and covers 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so one part number works whether the bore is set back 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches from the door edge. Useful if you are buying for a building where the openings were not prepped consistently.
14) How far does the Weslock 7971 escutcheon stand off the door face?
The trim measures 4 x 2-3/4 inches with a 3/4 inch projection. Worth checking against a storm door or a screen door that swings close to the face of the entry door, and against the edge of any adjacent glass stop.
15) Does the Weslock 7971 come with a strike, or do I buy that separately?
The strike is included, along with the adjustable latch, so the deadbolt half of the opening is complete out of the box. What is not included is any passage or entry lockset for the knob bore, so if you are also replacing the handle you are ordering two products.
16) Is the Arrow 460 strike a substitute for the Weslock 7971 deadbolt?
No. The Weslock 7971 is a complete deadbolt lock with a cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside, supplied with an adjustable latch and deadbolt strike. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip - a strike plate for the frame, not a lock for the door. The same distinction applies to the BEST 8T, a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, and the Baldwin 8BR0618001, a deadbolt spacer. Those are pieces that go with or into a lock, not the lock itself.
17) Which deadbolt should I use if I need a thumbturn with no key at all?
The Weslock 7971 is keyed, with a 5 pin Weslock cylinder outside. For an opening that only needs to be thrown from inside, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock, non-keyed, with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, which bores only partway through the door rather than through the full 2-1/8 inch cross bore the 7971 uses.
18) Is there a deadbolt with an ADA-friendly thumbturn instead of the standard turn on the Weslock 7971?
The Weslock 7971 uses a conventional thumbturn on the interior side. Where the facility needs an easier grip, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and it keys the same way from outside. It is the same single cylinder arrangement, with the interior turn shaped for a lighter grasp.
19) What are the electronic or keypad alternatives to a keyed Weslock 7971 deadbolt?
The Weslock 7971 is a mechanical deadbolt keyed on a 5 pin Weslock cylinder. Where credentials replace keys, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. The Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override, mounted to the door face rather than through a bored hole.
20) What deadbolt fits a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covering a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For a standard residential opening, the Weslock 7971 is bored 2-1/8 inch with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and a cylinder x thumbturn function.
21) What is the difference between the Weslock 7971 and a classroom function deadbolt like the Falcon D211?
The Weslock 7971 is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt: keyed outside, turned by hand inside. The Falcon D211 is a Grade 2 classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation in the D200 Series, medium duty, and the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset, heavy duty, in the D100 Series. Classroom function changes who can throw the bolt and from which side, so confirm the function code against the door schedule before substituting either for a residential thumbturn deadbolt.
22) I need a deadbolt and a knob or lever working together on one door - what should I look at?
The Weslock 7971 is a standalone deadbolt with a cylinder outside and thumbturn inside; the knob or lever is a separate lockset. Where one device should handle both, the Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt in the H2 Series, so retracting the latch and the bolt happens in one motion from inside.
23) What decorative bronze or brass deadbolt compares to the Weslock 7971 Molten Bronze?
The Weslock 7971 is in the Molten Bronze collection with a brass substrate, Woodward style square trim, and concealed installation screws. On the decorative side, the Emtek #11 Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze deadbolt with a cylinder x thumbturn function, and the Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Square is a double cylinder deadbolt with square trim. The Emtek keeps the single cylinder arrangement; the Baldwin Reserve is keyed both sides.
24) What is the Weslock 7971 deadbolt actually made of, and will it hold up outdoors?
Brass substrate, from Weslock's Molten Bronze collection, in the Woodward square trim style. The single finish offered is Oil Rubbed Bronze, a living finish that darkens and wears at contact points over time on an exterior door.
25) Does the Weslock 7971 deadbolt have a handing, and can it go on either a left or right hand door?
No handing. It is a bored deadbolt with a cylinder on one face and a thumbturn on the other, so it installs the same way regardless of which way the door swings. Only the strike location on the jamb follows the door.
