Arrow 224 5A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow 224 5A springlatch fit a door bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset?
No. The 224 5A is a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset springlatch, so the cross-bore has to be 2-3/4 inches from the door edge to the center of the hole. If your prep is 2-3/8 inches you need a 2-3/8 inch latch instead. For a non-MK, residential-style opening at that backset, the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch is a 2-3/8 inch backset part, and the Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches.
2) Which Arrow locksets does the 224 5A springlatch replace the latch on?
It is built for the Arrow MK Series lockset family as a direct replacement latch unit. It is not a universal latch, so if the lock body on your door is another Arrow series or another brand, this is the wrong part.
3) Is the 224 5A face plate square corner or radius corner, and will it drop into my existing mortise in the door edge?
Square corner, with a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch face. It drops straight into an edge prep routed square at those dimensions, which is the common commercial prep. If your existing latch face has rounded (radius) corners, the square plate will leave gaps at the corners of the mortise and you would want a radius-corner latch instead.
4) What is the difference between the Arrow 224 5A springlatch and the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch?
Both are square corner latches carrying a UL listing, but they are prepped for different backsets and different lock families. The Arrow 224 5A is a 2-3/4 inch backset springlatch built as a replacement part for Arrow MK Series locksets, with a 2-1/4 inch by 1-1/8 inch face. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset. If the door is bored on 2-3/4 inch centers for an MK Series lock, the 224 5A is the matching part.
5) Is the 224 5A a springlatch or a deadlatch, and does that matter for an exterior door?
It is a springlatch, meaning the bolt is beveled and spring loaded with no auxiliary deadlocking plunger. That is fine for interior office, classroom, and passage openings. On an exterior or secured entry door where you are worried about the latch being carded or shimmed, you want a deadlatch version instead.
6) Will the 224 5A work with my existing strike plate?
The square corner face profile is made to work with standard commercial strike plates, so in most MK Series replacements you reuse the strike already in the frame. Since the backset is fixed at 2-3/4 inches, the latch projects from the same point in the edge as the original, so strike alignment does not change.
7) If the door needs an entry-function latch rather than an MK Series replacement, what is the alternative to the Arrow 224 5A?
The Arrow 224 5A is a springlatch supplied as a genuine Arrow replacement part for MK Series locksets. Where the job calls for a latch specified by function instead, the Deltana DLE23875 is an entry-function drive-in latch for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Deltana DLP23875 is the passage/privacy equivalent with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
8) Is the Emtek 83228 square corner faceplate a substitute for the Arrow 224 5A?
No. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws only, for a tubular pocket door privacy latch in a privacy/bed/bath function. The Arrow 224 5A is the complete springlatch assembly, face plate included, with a 2-3/4 inch backset for Arrow MK Series locksets. Replacing a worn MK Series latch takes the 224 5A; the Emtek part covers only a damaged or mismatched faceplate on a pocket door latch.
9) Which latch parts look like the Arrow 224 5A in a search but are actually deadbolt hardware?
Several Kwikset parts return alongside latches but are catalogued to a deadbolt strike plate function: the 83518 adjustable square drive UL 3 hour latch, the 83521 RCAL plain latch UL 3 hour for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL trim, and the 84290 square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Arrow 224 5A is a springlatch for Arrow MK Series locksets with a 2-3/4 inch backset, so confirm the lock family and backset before ordering across brands.
10) Is the Arrow 224 5A suitable for high traffic openings like schools and hospitals?
Yes, it is a commercial-grade part rather than a residential one, and Arrow lists it for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, multi-tenant residential, government, and industrial facilities. For an MRO buyer standardizing latch stock across a facility of MK locks, it is the correct spare to hold in the 2-3/4 inch backset, square corner configuration.
11) For a motorized or electrified opening, is the Arrow 224 5A the right latch?
No. The Arrow 224 5A is a mechanical springlatch replacement part for Arrow MK Series locksets. For a powered application, the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series, which is a deadbolt latch function rather than a knob or lever springlatch.
