Arrow R20 613E – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow R20 deadlatch fit a door bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset?
Yes. The R20 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset deadlatch, which is the common backset on residential-width and many commercial doors where the bore centers 2-3/8 inches in from the door edge. It is not adjustable, so a door prepped at 2-3/4 inches needs the 2-3/4 inch version instead, not this one.
2) Which Arrow locksets does the R20 deadlatch replace?
The R20 is the factory replacement deadlatch for Arrow MLX and RLX Series locksets. If you are servicing one of those cylindrical locks and the latch is worn, binding, or the deadlocking plunger no longer holds, this is the correct Arrow component to drop back in. It is a latch only, not a complete lockset.
3) What size faceplate mortise does the Arrow R20 latch need on the door edge?
The R20 has a 2-1/4 inch by 1 inch face plate, so the edge of the door needs a mortise of that size for the plate to sit flush. If the door was previously fitted with an MLX or RLX lockset, the existing edge prep already matches and no rework is required.
4) Is the Kwikset 84290 plainlatch a substitute for the Arrow R20 deadlatch?
They are different latch types. The Arrow R20 is a deadlatch built specifically for Arrow MLX and RLX Series locksets, so it is the component that restores those locksets to factory fitment. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset, which matches the R20's backset but is a plain latch rather than a deadlatch and is intended for Kwikset cylindrical hardware. If the door already carries an Arrow MLX or RLX lockset, the R20 is the matching part.
5) I need a 2-3/8 inch backset latch for a wood residential door, not an Arrow lockset. What else works?
The Arrow R20 is a commercial replacement deadlatch keyed to Arrow MLX and RLX Series locksets, so it is the wrong starting point for non-Arrow hardware. For a drive-in installation on a residential door, the Deltana DLP23875 is an adjustable backset drive-in latch set for 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch with a passage/privacy function and a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range; the Deltana DLE23875 is the entry-function drive-in latch covering the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch thickness range.
6) Is a deadlatch different from a plain latch, and does it matter which one I put in?
Yes, it matters. A deadlatch like the Arrow R20 carries a small auxiliary plunger alongside the main latchbolt; when the door closes, the plunger rides the strike and blocks the latchbolt from being pushed back, which defeats carding on an exterior or corridor door. A plain latch, such as the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch, has no such plunger and is used where anti-shim security is not needed. Do not substitute a plain latch into a lockset that was specified with a deadlatch.
7) I need a fire-rated latch for a labeled door opening. Is the Arrow R20 the right choice?
Buy the latch that carries the rating your labeled opening requires. Where a UL-rated latch is specified, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch and the 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive are both listed as UL 3 hour, and the Kwikset 84290 2-3/8 inch backset plainlatch is listed as UL. Note those are Kwikset components and will not serve as a factory replacement inside an Arrow MLX or RLX lockset, which is what the R20 is for.
8) Does the Arrow R20 deadlatch come with a strike plate?
No. The R20 is the latch assembly with its 2-1/4 x 1 inch face plate. If your frame strike is worn or the opening was never prepped, order the strike separately. In most MLX and RLX service jobs the existing frame strike stays in place and only the latch is swapped, since the 2-3/8 inch backset keeps the latchbolt in the same position relative to the door edge.
9) Does a fire-rated opening change which latch I should order instead of the Arrow R20?
The Arrow R20 is specified as a commercial replacement deadlatch for Arrow MLX and RLX Series locksets, and it is the part to use when servicing that hardware. If you are specifying the latch for Kwikset cylindrical hardware on a rated door, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is a UL 3 hour latch listed for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL trim, and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch is also UL 3 hour.
10) Can the Arrow R20 be used on a pocket door or a motorized deadbolt?
No. The Arrow R20 is a deadlatch for Arrow MLX and RLX Series cylindrical locksets with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 2-1/4 inch by 1 inch face. A tubular pocket door privacy latch takes its own hardware, such as the Emtek 83228 faceplate and screws with square corners for that latch, and a motorized deadbolt uses a dedicated part such as the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch. Neither application accepts the R20.
11) What is the difference between the Arrow R20 and a drive-in latch like the Deltana DLE23875?
The Arrow R20 has a 2-1/4 inch by 1 inch face plate that sits in a mortised faceplate prep on the door edge and is matched to Arrow MLX and RLX Series locksets, with an Oil Rubbed Bronze 613E finish. The Deltana DLE23875 is a drive-in latch, meaning it seats in the bored edge hole without a faceplate mortise, and it is an entry-function latch for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick. The prep in the door decides which style you need.
12) What finish is the Arrow R20 613E latch, and will it match my other door hardware?
613E Oil Rubbed Bronze, listed on the option as 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed. It is the only finish this latch comes in. On most installations the latch face is the only visible part on the door edge, so if your MLX or RLX trim is oil rubbed bronze the edge will read consistent.
13) Is the Arrow R20 suitable for high-traffic commercial doors, or is it a residential part?
It is a commercial component. Arrow lists the R20 as commercial-grade and it is used to service MLX and RLX locksets in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. For a property manager standardizing a building on Arrow cylindrical locks, this is the latch that keeps those openings on factory parts.
