Adams Rite NJ-516-24 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the NJ-516-24 jam nut work on non Adams Rite locks?
Treat it as an Adams Rite part. The NJ-516-24 is a genuine Adams Rite component sized to the 5/16 inch thread used in Adams Rite latch and mechanical lock assemblies. If you are servicing another manufacturer's lock, match that maker's own parts instead, since thread pitch and nut depth are not interchangeable by size alone.
2) Can a Kwikset 84290 plainlatch be used in place of the Adams Rite NJ-516-24?
No. The NJ-516-24 is a 5/16 inch jam nut sold in a 10-pack, a small threaded fastener used to secure components within Adams Rite latch and mechanical lock assemblies. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset, a complete latch mechanism for a bored door prep. One is a fastener inside an assembly, the other is the latch itself, so they do not interchange. If the latch body has failed rather than the retaining nut, the 84290 is the type of part you want.
3) I need a drive-in latch, not a jam nut - what should I order instead?
The NJ-516-24 is a threaded jam nut, not a latch, so look to a drive-in latch instead. The Deltana DLP23875 is a drive-in latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset in a passage/privacy function and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. If the opening needs a keyed entry function, the Deltana DLE23875 is the entry version with the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Match the function to the lockset on the door before ordering.
4) How many jam nuts come in a pack of the Adams Rite NJ-516-24?
Ten. The NJ-516-24 ships as a 10-pack, which is how maintenance crews and locksmiths usually stock it rather than buying one nut at a time.
5) My opening is fire rated - does the NJ-516-24 carry a fire rating, or is there a latch that does?
The NJ-516-24 is a 5/16 inch jam nut, a fastener within an Adams Rite assembly rather than the latching component a fire rating is assigned to. When the latch itself has to carry a listing, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is UL 3 hour rated and fits BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL preps, and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch is also UL 3 hour. Confirm the rating against the door label and the lockset already installed.
6) Is the Adams Rite NJ-516-24 jam nut meant for commercial doors or residential?
Commercial. Adams Rite classifies the NJ-516-24 as a commercial door hardware part, which is why it turns up in storefront, office, school, healthcare and municipal maintenance inventories rather than residential builders hardware.
7) Will the NJ-516-24 work with a motorized deadbolt latch?
The NJ-516-24 is a 5/16 inch jam nut made to Adams Rite specification for Adams Rite latch and mechanical lock assemblies, so it should be matched to Adams Rite hardware rather than dropped into an electrified product from another line. The Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series and is a self-contained powered assembly serviced with its own components. Keep the jam nut to the Adams Rite mechanical hardware it was made for.
