Arrow 111 5A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow 111 5A deadlatch fit my Arrow MK Series lockset?
That's exactly what it's built for. The Arrow 111 5A is the deadlatch replacement for the Arrow MK Series lock line, with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 2-1/4 x 1 inch square corner face that matches the original MK Series door and edge prep. If your existing MK lock uses a 2-3/8 inch backset and a square corner faceplate, it drops in with no re-mortising.
2) My door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset. Can I use the Arrow 111 5A?
No. The 111 5A is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset latch, so it will not reach the bore centerline on a 2-3/4 inch prep. 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 are the two standard commercial backsets, and you need the version matching your door. For a non-Arrow opening where you want flexibility, the Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches.
3) Does the Arrow 111 5A have a radius or square faceplate?
Square corner. The 2-1/4 x 1 inch face is a square corner profile, which is the standard commercial mortise prep on MK Series doors. If the existing latch you pulled out has rounded corners, this face will leave a visible gap at the corners of the mortise unless you square the pocket.
4) Is the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch a substitute for the Arrow 111 5A deadlatch?
They are not the same type of latch. The Arrow 111 5A is a deadlatch built as a replacement part for Arrow MK Series locksets, with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 2-1/4 inch by 1 inch square corner face. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset. A plainlatch has no deadlocking plunger alongside the latchbolt, so it will not restore the deadlatching action the MK Series lockset was built around, and it is a Kwikset part rather than an Arrow MK Series component. If the opening needs the deadlatch function, stay with the 111 5A.
5) Is this a deadlatch or a plain latch?
It's a deadlatch, meaning it includes the auxiliary deadlocking plunger that prevents the latchbolt from being shimmed or carded once the door is closed against the strike. That matters on exterior and tenant entry doors. A plain latch, like the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch, has no deadlocking feature and is used on non-keyed or interior functions.
6) Can I replace just the latch instead of the whole Arrow MK lockset?
Yes, if the failure is in the latching. The 111 5A is sold as a standalone replacement part for the MK Series, so a worn or binding latch can be swapped without replacing the cylinder, trim or chassis. Keying and lever trim stay as they are. If the lever or cylinder is the problem, the latch won't fix it.
7) What are my options if I need a fire-rated latch instead of the Arrow 111 5A?
The 111 5A is specified as an MK Series dimensional replacement, not as a rated assembly. If your opening requires a UL rated latch, the Kwikset 83518 adjustable square drive and the 83521 plain latch are both listed as UL 3 hour, and the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch at 2-3/8 inch backset is UL listed. Those are different lock lines, so they won't retrofit an Arrow MK chassis.
8) My latch is fine but the faceplate is damaged. Do I have to buy the whole Arrow 111 5A?
The Arrow 111 5A is supplied as a complete deadlatch assembly with its 2-1/4 inch by 1 inch square corner face, so it replaces latch and face together. A faceplate-only part exists in other lines for other applications, such as the Emtek 83228 faceplate and screws for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners, but that is a pocket door privacy component and will not serve an Arrow MK Series lockset. For an MK Series opening, the 111 5A assembly is the part that restores both fit and function.
9) What finish does the Arrow 111 5A come in?
One finish: 609 Antique Brass. On a latch the faceplate is the only part that shows once the door is closed, so if the rest of the trim on your MK Series openings is antique brass the edge will match. Mixing a bright or satin latch face into an antique brass opening is the usual complaint, and this avoids it.
10) Is the Arrow 111 5A suitable for high-traffic commercial doors or just residential?
Commercial. Arrow classifies the 111 5A as a commercial-grade MK Series replacement part, and it's used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. For property managers standardizing a building, keeping the same MK latch across openings means one part number on the shelf for every future service call.
11) Is the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH an alternative to the Arrow 111 5A?
No. The Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series, an electrified deadbolt component. The Arrow 111 5A is a mechanical deadlatch replacement part for Arrow MK Series locksets with a 2-3/8 inch backset and square corner face. They serve different functions, and the Emtek part belongs to an electrified deadbolt system rather than a mechanical MK Series lockset.
