Arrow AR-G72 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backsets does the Arrow G72 springlatch come in?
The G72 springlatch is ordered by backset, and four are offered: 2-3/8 inch, 2-3/4 inch, 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole on the door you are working on and match that number. The 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch versions cover standard commercial and residential bore prep; 3-3/4 and 5 inch are for the deeper preps found on some wide stile and mortise-style GL lock installations.
2) Which Arrow locksets does the G72 latch fit?
It is a genuine Arrow replacement latch for Arrow GL Series locksets, built to the same commercial-grade standard as the latch it replaces so it drops into the existing lock and door prep without modification. If the lock on your door is another Arrow line, the G72 is not the part for it.
3) Can a Kwikset 84290 plainlatch be used in place of an Arrow G72 springlatch on a GL Series lockset?
No. The Arrow G72 springlatch is a genuine Arrow replacement part engineered specifically for Arrow GL Series locksets, with front plate dimensions matched to the original GL Series prep. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset intended for Kwikset residential-style cylindrical locks, so its latch tail and chassis engagement are not built to drive an Arrow GL chassis. For a GL Series lockset, order the Arrow G72 in the backset the door is prepped for.
4) What latch should I use for a wood door bored for a drive-in latch instead of a faceplate?
The Arrow G72 is a front plate style springlatch sized to the Arrow GL Series door face prep, so it needs a mortised faceplate pocket. If the opening is bored for a drive-in latch with no faceplate mortise, the Deltana DLE23875 drive-in latch for entry function or the Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch for passage or privacy function are the alternatives, both with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range.
5) What is the Option Number on the Arrow G72 latch and which one do I pick?
Option Number is a second dimension tied to the backset you choose. The 2-3/8 inch backset latch carries a 1 inch option number; the 2-3/4, 3-3/4 and 5 inch backset latches all carry 1-1/8 inch. You do not choose it independently, it follows the backset, so get the backset right and the option number resolves itself.
6) Does the Arrow G72 come with a faceplate or do I need to order one?
The springlatch includes its front plate, sized to sit flush in a standard door face prep, so you are not sourcing a separate faceplate. Strike plates and screws for the frame side are separate items.
7) Is the G72 a springlatch or a deadlatch, and will it self-latch when the door closes?
It is a springlatch: the bolt is spring loaded, so it retracts on contact with the strike and snaps back out when the door closes, with no turn of the key or lever needed. That also means there is no anti-shim deadlocking plunger, so on an exterior or secured opening pair it with a deadbolt rather than relying on the latch alone.
8) What is the difference between the Arrow G72 and the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch?
The Arrow G72 is a spring-loaded latch bolt that self-latches on door closure, built to Arrow GL Series commercial lockset dimensions and offered in 630 satin stainless. The Kwikset 83521 is an RCAL plain latch listed UL 3 hour for Kwikset BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL lock lines. They serve different lock families, so the choice is driven by which chassis is already in the door.
9) Is the Emtek 83228 faceplate a replacement for the Arrow G72 front plate?
No. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screw set for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners, sold as a trim part only. The Arrow G72 is a complete springlatch assembly including its front plate, supplied as a genuine Arrow replacement component for GL Series locksets, so it is ordered whole rather than as a separate plate.
10) Can I swap an Arrow G72 springlatch for a motorized latch on an access controlled door?
Not directly. The Arrow G72 is a purely mechanical spring latch that latches on closure with no electrical actuation. For a motorized latch the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch is the electrified part, but it is a deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series rather than a GL Series springlatch, so it changes both the lock function and the door prep.
11) What finish is the Arrow G72 springlatch available in?
One finish only: 630, satin stainless steel. That applies to every backset offered. Since the latch front is the only visible part once the lock is assembled, 630 reads as a neutral brushed silver and sits acceptably alongside 626 satin chrome trim on most commercial openings, though it is not an exact match to a brass or bronze lever.
12) Is the Arrow G72 latch suitable for a high-traffic school or hospital door?
Yes. It is a commercial-grade component, built to the same standard as the GL Series lock parts it replaces, and it is used in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and municipal buildings. For a facility standardizing spares, stock it in the backset that matches your door prep so one part number covers repeated service calls.
