Arrow R22 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow R22 springlatch fit my Arrow MLX or RLX lockset?
Yes. The R22 is Arrow's replacement springlatch for the MLX and RLX Series locksets, built as a direct swap for the original latch with no modification to the door prep. It uses a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 2-1/4 x 1 inch face plate, so it drops into the existing bore and edge prep on those locksets.
2) My door is bored at a 2-3/4 inch backset. Can I still use the R22 latch?
No. The R22 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset latch, not an adjustable one, so it will not reach the cross bore on a door prepped at 2-3/4 inches. For an adjustable-backset drive-in latch that covers both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4, the Deltana DLP23875 is offered in passage/privacy and the DLE23875 in entry function, though neither is an Arrow MLX/RLX part.
3) My door is bored but has no mortised face prep - can I use the Arrow R22, or do I need a drive-in latch?
The Arrow R22 carries a 2-1/4 inch by 1 inch face plate, which needs a mortised face prep in the door edge to sit flush. For an edge with only a round bore and no mortise, a drive-in latch is the usual answer: the Deltana DLE23875 is a drive-in latch for entry function, and the Deltana DLP23875 is a drive-in latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset for passage and privacy function. Both Deltana latches cover doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. Note that those are Deltana parts and will not serve an Arrow MLX or RLX chassis.
4) What finishes does the Arrow R22 springlatch come in?
Two: 605 Bright Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the one that matches the lever or knob trim already on the opening, since the latch face plate shows on the door edge. 605 pairs with polished brass trim, 626 with satin chrome or brushed nickel-look hardware.
5) Is the R22 latch handed? Do I need to specify left or right?
No handing to specify. It's a springlatch with a beveled latchbolt, and on this kind of cylindrical latch the bolt is reversed on site by rotating it rather than ordered by hand. The only choice on the order is finish, Bright Brass or Satin Chrome.
6) I just need the latch, not a whole new lockset. Is the R22 sold as a standalone part?
Yes. The R22 is a genuine Arrow replacement part, ordered on its own to restore latch function to an MLX or RLX lockset you're keeping in the door. It comes as the latch unit with its face plate; you reuse the existing strike and lock chassis.
7) Can I use the R22 as a fire-rated latch replacement?
The R22 is specified as a commercial replacement springlatch for MLX and RLX locksets, without a published fire listing attached to the part. If the opening is a labeled fire door and you need a latch carrying a UL listing, the Kwikset RCAL latches (83521 plain latch, 83518 adjustable square drive) are listed as UL 3 hour, and the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch at 2-3/8 inch backset is a UL option, though those are Kwikset-prep parts and not MLX/RLX replacements.
8) I'm standardizing latch replacements across a building with Arrow locksets. Can I stock one part number?
If the openings are MLX or RLX Series locksets bored at 2-3/8 inch backset, the R22 covers them all, and you only decide finish, 605 Bright Brass or 626 Satin Chrome. Stocking both finishes usually handles a mixed building, since the face plate is the visible part on the door edge.
9) I need a latch with a UL fire rating for a rated opening - what are my options?
The Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is listed as UL 3 hour and is made for Kwikset BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL knob and lever lines, and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch is also UL 3 hour. The Arrow R22 is described as a commercial-grade replacement springlatch for Arrow MLX and RLX Series locksets rather than as a rated assembly component, so on a fire door your latch choice follows whichever lockset chassis is installed and its own listing. For Arrow MLX or RLX hardware, match the lockset's own rating documentation.
10) Does the Arrow R22 work on a pocket door privacy latch or a deadbolt?
No. The R22 is a springlatch for Arrow MLX and RLX Series locksets, which are bored cylindrical-style commercial locks. A tubular pocket door privacy latch takes its own components, such as the Emtek 83228 faceplate and screws for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners. A deadbolt takes a deadbolt latch, such as the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch. Neither application accepts the R22.
11) I have a mix of 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets across the building - is there one latch that covers both?
The Arrow R22 is fixed at a 2-3/8 inch backset, so it fits only the 2-3/8 inch openings, and it is the part to use where Arrow MLX or RLX locksets are installed. Where you are working with drive-in style residential-type prep instead, the Deltana DLP23875 offers an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset in passage/privacy function for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. For the Arrow commercial openings, stock the R22 for the 2-3/8 inch doors and match the Arrow part for any 2-3/4 inch prep separately.
12) Is this a residential or commercial-duty latch?
Commercial. The R22 is a commercial-grade replacement part, and Arrow specifies it for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government facilities, the kind of traffic where a latch gets cycled hard every day.
13) What's the difference between a springlatch like the R22 and a deadlatch or deadbolt latch?
A springlatch retracts whenever the beveled bolt is pushed, so it latches the door shut on closing and is released by the lever or knob. That's what the MLX and RLX cylindrical locksets use. A deadbolt latch is a separate, thrown bolt, motor driven in the case of the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH EMPowered unit, and is not interchangeable with the R22.
