Emtek 8468US3 Single Cylinder Deadbolt Polished Brass

Product Description

The EMTEK 8468US3 is a rectangular single cylinder deadbolt finished in polished brass lifetime finish, designed for residential and light commercial door applications. This deadbolt accommodates both 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset configurations and is sized for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The unit ships as a single assembly and is intended for installation by a locksmith, finish carpenter, or experienced general contractor. Solid construction and a lifetime polished brass finish make it a reliable choice for exterior or interior entry doors where a clean, traditional rectangular profile is specified.

This deadbolt is suited for residential entry doors, interior passage doors requiring keyed security, and light commercial applications where a single cylinder configuration is appropriate. The dual backset compatibility gives installers flexibility across standard door prep dimensions without sourcing a separate unit. The rectangular styling integrates with transitional and traditional architectural hardware themes.

Installation is typically performed by a locksmith or skilled carpenter following standard door hardware prep guidelines. Before installation, confirm the door bore diameter and backset measurement match the hardware specifications. No specialized power tools are required beyond a screwdriver and, for new installs, a hole saw and chisel set for mortising the latch plate.
