Arrow AR-R72 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backsets does the Arrow R72 springlatch come in?
Two backsets are offered on the R72: 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch. These are the two standard bored-lock backsets, so measure from the door edge to the center of the lock bore before you order. Getting it wrong means the latch tailpiece will not line up with the chassis.
2) Does the R72 faceplate size change with the backset?
Yes, and it is easy to miss. The 2-3/8 inch R72 latches carry a 1 inch face, while the 2-3/4 inch latches carry a 1-1/8 inch face. If your existing door edge mortise was cut for one, the other will not drop into the same pocket cleanly.
3) Which Arrow locksets does the R72 springlatch fit?
The R72 is a genuine Arrow replacement springlatch built for Arrow RK and RL Series locksets. It restores latching function to those chassis without replacing the whole lock. It is not a universal latch, so do not plan on dropping it into another manufacturer's bored lock.
4) Can a Kwikset 84290 plainlatch be used in place of an Arrow R72 springlatch?
They are different animals. The Arrow R72 is a commercial springlatch built specifically for Arrow RK and RL Series locksets, offered in 2-3/8 inch backset with a 1 inch face and 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 inch face. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset intended for Kwikset cylindrical locks. Even where the backset matches, the R72 is the part to order when the chassis in the door is an Arrow RK or RL, because the latch tailpiece and retractor engagement are matched to that lockset.
5) What finishes is the Arrow R72 latch available in?
Finish options are 605 bright brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, and 630 satin stainless steel. Bright brass shows on the 2-3/8 inch backset; the 2-3/4 inch backset is offered in 612, 613, and 630. Match the faceplate to the lever trim already on the door so the edge does not stand out.
6) Can I use the R72 to fix a lock that will not latch instead of buying a whole new lockset?
That is exactly what it is for. If the chassis, lever, and cylinder on an Arrow RK or RL lock are still good and the problem is a worn or sticking latch bolt, swapping in the R72 restores latching without pulling the lock. Match the backset and faceplate size to what comes out of the door edge.
7) I have a non-Arrow bored lock that needs a new latch. What should I look at instead?
The R72 is Arrow-specific, so for other hardware look at a drive-in or faceplate latch matched to that lock. Deltana's DLE23875 is an adjustable entry drive-in latch for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, and the DLP23875 is the passage/privacy version with the same adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Kwikset's 84290 square corner plainlatch covers 2-3/8 inch backset applications.
8) My opening needs a fire-rated latch - is the Arrow R72 the right choice?
The Arrow R72 is a commercial-grade replacement springlatch for Arrow RK and RL Series locksets. When the requirement on the drawing is specifically a UL-rated latch, Kwikset offers UL 3 hour latch parts: the 83521 RCAL plain latch for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL locks, and the 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive UL 3 hour latch. Those Kwikset latches only fit Kwikset chassis, so for a fire opening already fitted with Arrow RK or RL hardware, confirm the rating requirement against the complete lockset rather than swapping in a latch from another line.
9) Is this latch handed, or will it work on both left and right hand doors?
A springlatch of this type is non-handed in the sense that the bevel can be reversed, but confirm the latch bolt bevel faces the stop after installation. The R72 is a spring latch only, so it retracts with the lever or key on the RK and RL chassis and self-latches when the door closes. There is no deadbolt function in this part.
10) Is the Arrow R72 a commercial part or residential?
Commercial. The R72 is an Arrow commercial-grade latch component, used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and municipal buildings where the RK or RL lockset is already installed.
11) Will the R72 work in a fire-rated opening?
The R72 is a commercial latch component for Arrow RK and RL locksets, and fire door assemblies require every component to match the listing of the original assembly. For an application where you need a latch with a stated fire listing, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch and 83518 adjustable drive-in latch are catalogued as UL 3 hour latches, though those fit Kwikset BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL chassis, not Arrow.
