Emtek 8468US10B Single Cylinder Deadbolt Oil Rubbed Bronze

Product Description

The EMTEK 8468US10B is a rectangular single cylinder deadbolt designed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. It accepts both a 2-3/8 inch and a 2-3/4 inch backset, making it compatible with standard door prep configurations found in residential and light commercial construction. The exterior turn piece operates the bolt from the outside using a key cylinder, while the interior thumb turn controls locking and unlocking from inside. Finished in Oil Rubbed Bronze, the unit delivers a dark, hand-applied appearance suited to traditional and transitional architectural styles. Installation is handled by finish carpenters, general contractors, or skilled DIYers working on door hardware replacement or new construction.

This deadbolt is appropriate for single-family residential entry doors, interior locking doors, and light commercial applications where a single cylinder configuration meets code. The dual backset capability accommodates the two most common door bore preparations without requiring additional hardware. The Oil Rubbed Bronze finish coordinates with matching EMTEK lever, knob, and rosette products for a consistent hardware scheme throughout a project.
