EMTEK Owen Deadbolt

The Owen deadbolt delivers Grade 3 residential security with adjustable components that fit 1-3/8” to 1-3/4” door thicknesses and universal handing for both right and left-handed doors. This Yale Expressions series deadbolt offers contractors reliable compatibility with standard door preparations while maintaining design-forward aesthetics at value pricing.

Universal Compatibility That Works Across Jobs

The Owen’s adjustable design covers the two most common residential specifications — it handles both 2-3/8” and 2-3/4” backsets with an adjustable tubular latch, and accommodates door thicknesses from 1-3/8” to 1-3/4”. Standard door preparation requirements match what contractors already work with: 2-1/8” face bore, 1” edge bore, and 1” x 2-1/4” radius corner latch faceplate.

Universal handing eliminates the left/right door guessing game. One deadbolt works for any swing direction. Exterior projection measures 13/16” while interior projection sits at 1-1/8”, with a standard 2-1/2” diameter.

Keyway Flexibility for Existing Systems

The Owen comes standard with Schlage C (SC1) keyway but offers optional Kwikset (KW1) and Weiser (WR5) compatibility. This matters when matching existing locks throughout a property. Contractors don’t need to rekey entire buildings — they can order the Owen to match what’s already installed.

Single cylinder configuration provides keyed entry on the outside with thumbturn operation inside. ADA compliant thumbturn meets handicap accessibility requirements.

Built for Value Without Compromising Quality

Solid brass construction on the collar and rosette pairs with a hardened steel bolt. The Grade 3 rating meets residential security standards. Yale Expressions positions between standard retail brands like Schlage and Kwikset and high-end custom solid brass hardware, offering more design focus than mass-market options while using standard parts rather than custom assemblies.
