Deltana G1RLP238 Grade 1 Regular Latch, Passage/Privacy, 2-3/8" Backset

Latch only. The G1RLP238 is the regular (non-deadlocking) tubular latch unit that goes in the cross bore of a cylindrical lockset. You order it as a replacement or service part for a passage or privacy function lockset; the knob, lever, rose and any privacy turn come from the lockset itself.

A regular latch, which is what the Deltana G1RLP238 is, has a plain bevelled latchbolt with no auxiliary deadlocking plunger. That is correct for passage and privacy openings, where there is no key and no need to resist a card or shim attack. On a keyed exterior door you want a deadlatch, where a small secondary plunger rides the strike lip and blocks the latchbolt from being pushed back. Deadlatch options in that style include the Schlage 16-480 for the S200 Series and the Dexter deadlatch for the C1000 Series.

Not the right choice. The G1RLP238 is a passage and privacy latch, so it has no deadlocking feature for a keyed exterior opening. For a keyed opening use a deadlatch, such as the Schlage 16-480 for the S200 Series, or move to a deadbolt latch like the Schlage 12-630 for the B600, B700 and B800 Series.

The Deltana G1RLP238 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset tubular latch, so it will not reach a 2-3/4 inch bore. For that prep, the Schlage 16-228 adjusts to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch face and square corner, and the Schlage 16-480 deadlatch adjusts to the same two backsets with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch face and square corner. Both let one part cover doors bored at either dimension, which is useful when a building has mixed preps.

No. The Deltana G1RLP238 is a tubular spring latch for a passage/privacy cylindrical lockset with a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Schlage 12-630 is a deadbolt latch for the B600/700/800 series with a 2-3/8 inch backset, 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch face and square corner, and the Schlage 12-289 is a deadbolt latch for the B500 series, adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch face and 1/4 inch round corner. Deadbolt latches have no retracting bevel driven by a knob or lever, so they belong in a deadbolt bore, not in the lockset bore the Deltana part serves.

No handing to specify. It is a tubular cylindrical latch, and that style installs with the bevel facing the stop; you rotate the latchbolt to suit the swing. Order by backset and finish only.

The G1RLP238 is a standard cylindrical latch for a bored door, not a sidelite part. For a sidelite opening, the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch with ADA compliant thumbturn is the purpose-built option, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and fire rated. If door thickness varies across the job, the Lockey M230 keyless combination deadlocking spring latch covers 1-1/8 inch through 2 inch.

The Deltana G1RLP238 is a latch component for a keyed single-cylinder passage/privacy lockset, so the keying lives in the lock it goes into. If you want to eliminate keys at that opening entirely, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, and it fits doors from 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. That is a complete lock rather than a latch replacement, so it changes the door prep and the hardware on both faces.

Among comparable latches, face sizes and corners vary: the Schlage 16-228 and 12-630 both use a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch face with a square corner, the Schlage 16-480 uses a 1 by 2-1/4 inch face with a square corner, and the Schlage 12-289 uses a 1 by 2-1/4 inch face with a 1/4 inch round corner. The Deltana G1RLP238 is the Grade 1 regular latch for passage/privacy locksets at a 2-3/8 inch backset, offered in brushed chrome and polished brass so the exposed face can be matched to existing trim.

Two: Brushed Chrome and Polished Brass. The only part that shows once installed is the latch face on the door edge, so match it to the strike and the lockset trim, not to the hinges.
