Arrow Q71 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow Q71 deadlatch fit my door if it's prepped for a 2-3/8 inch backset?
No. The Q71 is a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset deadlatch, so it needs a door bored at 2-3/4 inches from the door edge to the center of the cross bore. It is not adjustable between the two common backsets. If your prep is 2-3/8 inches, look at an adjustable-backset latch instead, such as the Deltana DLP23875, which covers 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches.
2) What size face plate mortise does the Arrow Q71 latch need in the door edge?
The Q71 face measures 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches, which is the standard small rectangular latch face used on QL Series prep. It drops into an existing QL Series edge mortise flush without recutting.
3) Which locksets does the Arrow Q71 latch replace?
The Q71 is the replacement deadlatch for Arrow QL Series locksets. It is an Arrow genuine service part sized to the QL prep, so it goes back into an existing QL lockset with no door modification. It is not a universal latch, and it isn't intended for other Arrow lines or other brands.
4) Can a Kwikset 84290 plainlatch be used in place of an Arrow Q71 deadlatch?
No. The Arrow Q71 is a deadlatch built for the Arrow QL Series lockset with a 2-3/4 inch backset and 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, so the backset alone puts it in a different door prep, and a plainlatch has no deadlocking plunger to resist carding the way a deadlatch does. For a QL Series opening prepped at 2-3/4 inches, stay with the Q71.
5) I need a latch for a residential entry door with an unknown backset - is the Arrow Q71 the right part?
The Q71 is a commercial component fixed at a 2-3/4 inch backset and matched to Arrow QL Series locksets, so it does not adapt to a 2-3/8 inch prep. Where the backset is uncertain on a residential entry, the Deltana DLE23875 drive-in latch is an adjustable entry latch covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. For passage or privacy doors, the Deltana DLP23875 is the adjustable drive-in version, selectable at 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
6) Is the Arrow Q71 a deadlatch or a plain latch, and does that matter for an exterior door?
It is a deadlatch, meaning the latchbolt has a separate deadlocking plunger that blocks the bolt from being pushed back once the door closes against the strike. That is what you want on any keyed exterior or corridor opening, since a plain latch can be shimmed. Plain-latch parts like the Kwikset 84290 Plainlatch are for non-keyed passage use.
7) What finishes does the Arrow Q71 deadlatch come in, and how do I match the rest of the lock?
Two: 605 Bright Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Order the one matching the lockset already on the door, since the latch face is the visible part on the door edge. 626 satin chrome is the usual pairing with satin chrome levers and knobs; 605 goes with polished brass trim.
8) I'm restocking service parts for a building standardized on Arrow QL locks. Which latch should I stock?
Stock the Q71 in the finish that matches your doors. Since it's the QL Series deadlatch and the backset is fixed at 2-3/4 inches, one part number covers every QL opening bored to that standard commercial prep, which keeps the truck stock simple for a property manager or MRO crew.
9) Does a fire door need a UL rated latch instead of the Arrow Q71?
If the opening requires a labeled latch, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch and the 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch are both UL 3 hour rated parts, with the 83521 intended for Kwikset BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL locksets. Those are Kwikset chassis parts, not Arrow, so they will not drop into a QL Series lockset - the Q71 is the QL Series deadlatch and swapping chassis families means replacing the lockset, not just the latch.
10) What is the difference between the Arrow Q71 and the Emtek 83228 faceplate?
They are not the same class of part. The Arrow Q71 is a complete deadlatch assembly including its 2-1/4 inch by 1-1/8 inch face, sold as a replacement part for QL Series locksets. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws only, for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners - it replaces cosmetic trim on an existing latch and contains no latching mechanism. If the latch itself is worn, the faceplate will not restore function.
11) Is the Arrow Q71 latch rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
It's a commercial-grade component, classed for commercial door hardware use, and it is the service latch specified for QL Series locksets in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings.
12) Does the Arrow Q71 come with a strike plate?
The Q71 is the deadlatch itself, the latch case and face plate. A strike is a separate item, so if you are replacing a worn or misaligned strike at the same time, order it alongside. For deadbolt strike plates, parts like the Kwikset 83518 and 83521 are sold separately as their own items.
13) Is the Arrow Q71 an option for an access controlled or motorized opening?
The Q71 is a mechanical deadlatch that restores latching to an Arrow QL Series lockset; it carries no electrified function. Where the opening needs a powered latch, the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is an EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch, a deadbolt latch function rather than a latchbolt, so it addresses locking rather than the day to day latching the Q71 handles.
14) Can I match the Arrow Q71 finish to chrome hardware, or do I need a different brand latch?
No need to change parts. The Arrow Q71 deadlatch is offered in 626 Satin Chrome as well as 605 Bright Brass, so the same QL Series deadlatch covers both chrome and brass trim schemes on a fleet of doors.
