Deltana G1RLE238U26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this Deltana latch for a cylindrical lockset or a mortise lock?
It is a tubular/cylindrical latch, the kind that drops into the cross-bore of a bored lockset. Mortise locks use a lock body set into a pocket in the door edge, so this will not serve as a mortise replacement.
2) Is the Deltana G1RLE238 rated for commercial traffic?
It is a Grade 1 latch and catalogued for commercial use, so it is built to the highest of the three ANSI/BHMA grades used for bored locks, which is what most institutional and multi-family specs call for on entry openings.
3) I need a deadlatch instead of a regular latch. What else do you carry?
The G1RLE238 is a regular latch, not a deadlatch. For a deadlatch at the same 2-3/8 inch backset, the Schlage 12-630 fits B600/700/800 Series deadbolts, and the Schlage S200 Series 16-480 deadlatch is adjustable to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch square-corner face. The Dexter deadlatch for the C1000 Series is a Grade 2 option.
4) I need a 2-3/8 inch backset latch but the door prep may actually be 2-3/4 inch - what can I use instead of the Deltana G1RLE238?
The Deltana G1RLE238 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset regular latch, so it only suits a 2-3/8 inch prep. If you need one part that covers either prep, the Schlage 16-228 for the S200 and CS210 series is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner face, and the Schlage 16-480 for the S200 series is an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch deadlatch with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner face. Confirm the existing faceplate cutout matches before ordering.
5) What is the difference between the Deltana G1RLE238 and a deadlatch like the Schlage 16-480?
The Deltana G1RLE238 is a regular latch for an entry function cylindrical lock, meaning a plain beveled latchbolt with no auxiliary deadlocking plunger. The Schlage 16-480 is a deadlatch for the S200 series, adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which adds the anti-shim plunger that keeps the latchbolt from being carded when the door is closed. The Dexter Grade 1 deadlatch for the C1000 series is another deadlatching option, listed at Grade 2. Choose the deadlatch style where the latch is the only locking point on an exterior opening.
6) What does the "Entry" function mean on the Deltana G1RLE238 latch?
Entry means it is the latch used with a keyed entry lockset, the standard latching hardware for an exterior or main-access door rather than a passage or privacy set. It is a regular latch, so it does not have the deadlocking plunger that a deadlatch uses to resist carding.
7) Can I use a Schlage 12-630 deadbolt latch in place of the Deltana G1RLE238?
No. The Deltana G1RLE238 is a tubular latch for an entry-function cylindrical lockset, while the Schlage 12-630 is a deadbolt latch for the B600, B700 and B800 series with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner face. The Schlage 12-289 is the comparable deadbolt part for the B500 series, adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch round corner face. Deadbolt latches carry a square bolt with no bevel and no spring return, so they will not operate from a knob or lever.
8) I have a narrow sidelite next to the entry door - will the Deltana G1RLE238 work there?
The Deltana G1RLE238 is a 2-3/8 inch backset latch for a bored entry lockset in a standard door stile. For a sidelite, the Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, fire rated and built for 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the sidelite-specific unit for that leaf and keep the G1RLE238 for the active entry door.
9) What are my options if I want keyless entry instead of a keyed lockset using the Deltana G1RLE238?
The Deltana G1RLE238 is a mechanical entry latch that serves a keyed cylindrical lockset. If the goal is keyless operation, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, covering doors 1-1/8 to 2 inch thick, and needs no key or power. It is a complete lock rather than a latch component, so it replaces the chassis as well.
