Deltana G2DLE275 Grade 2 Drive-In-Latch, Entry, 2-3/4" Backset

Drive-in means the latch body has a round collar that taps straight into the bored edge hole. There is no rectangular faceplate to mortise and no screw holes to drill in the door edge. That makes it the right choice for pre-bored doors without an edge mortise, and the wrong choice if your door is already routed for a face plate latch, where a faceplate style like the Schlage 16-480 deadlatch fits the existing prep.

It fits tubular/cylindrical bored locksets prepped at a 2-3/4 inch backset, driven into the edge bore. Check two things on the door you are pulling from: the backset (measure from the door edge to the center of the knob hole) and whether the old latch had a mortised face plate. If the old one was a faceplate type, the drive-in collar will not cover that routed pocket.

The Deltana G2DLE275 is a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset drive-in latch in Grade 2. When the opening's bore center is not confirmed, the Schlage 16-480 deadlatch for the S200 Series adjusts to either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and carries a 1 inch x 2-1/4 inch square corner face, so one part covers both bore positions. The Schlage 16-228 for the S200 and CS210 Series is also adjustable between 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, with a 1-1/8 inch x 2-1/4 inch square corner face.

No. The Deltana G2DLE275 is an entry-function tubular latch for a bored lockset. 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 x 2-1/4 inch square corner face, so it serves the deadbolt bore rather than the knob or lever bore, and its backset does not match the 2-3/4 inch Deltana. The Schlage 12-289 is the comparable B500 Series deadbolt latch and does adjust to 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, but it is still deadbolt hardware, not a spring latch.

Entry function. It is a deadlocking spring latch built to pair with a keyed entry cylindrical lockset, so it retracts with the knob or lever and holds against credit-carding when the door is closed. If you are replacing a latch in a closet or hall door with no keyed function, an entry latch is not what you want.

It is a commercial-rated Grade 2 latch. Grade 2 is the standard duty level for multi-family, light commercial and interior office openings. For high-abuse public entrances, a Grade 1 latch matched to a Grade 1 lockset is the better spec.

The Deltana G2DLE275 is a Grade 2 drive-in latch. For a Dexter C1000 Series lockset, the Dexter C1000-DL-630 deadlatch is the series-matched part and is also rated Grade 2, so the grade level is unchanged while the latch stays with its own lock chassis.

The Deltana G2DLE275 is a Grade 2 commercial entry drive-in latch at a 2-3/4 inch backset. Where a fire rated assembly is called out, the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch is listed as fire rated and is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it includes an ADA compliant thumbturn. Note it is an auxiliary sidelite latch rather than a bored-lock latch, so it supplements a different opening type.

The Deltana G2DLE275 is a mechanical entry latch that relies on a separate lockset for its credential. To move that opening to keyless operation, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick. It replaces the lock and latch together rather than dropping into the existing chassis.

It ships in brushed stainless, the US32D-equivalent satin finish, which is the standard match for satin stainless and satin chrome commercial trim. Body and substrate are stainless steel throughout, so the exposed collar holds up on exterior and wet-area openings better than a plated steel latch.

Sold each, one latch per unit. If you are re-latching a run of doors, order one per opening.
