Emtek 8468US7 Rectangular Single Cylinder Deadbolt French Antique

Product Description

The EMTEK 8468US7 is a rectangular single cylinder deadbolt finished in French Antique Brass. It is designed for installation on doors with a thickness of 1-3/4 inches and ships configured to accept both a 2-3/8 inch and a 2-3/4 inch backset, covering the two most common residential and light commercial door prep standards. A single cylinder configuration means the exterior side operates by key while the interior side uses a thumb turn. The bolt and trim housing carry a rectangular profile, suited to architectural hardware schemes that favor clean, angular lines. Locksmiths and finish carpenters are the primary trades that install this hardware.

This deadbolt fits standard single-bore door preps and is appropriate for residential entry doors, interior locking doors, and light commercial applications where a single cylinder deadbolt is code-permitted. The French Antique Brass finish coordinates with traditional and transitional interior design themes. The included dual-backset functionality means the same unit works on most pre-hung door slabs without additional hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or experienced finish carpenter. Before installation, confirm the door bore and backset measurement match the selected configuration. Follow all applicable local building codes regarding egress and locking hardware on exit doors. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can cause misalignment of the bolt throw and reduce long-term performance.
