Deltana G2RLE275 Grade 2 Regular Latch, Entry, 2-3/4" Backset

No. The G2RLE275 is a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset latch, so it only suits a door bored 2-3/4 inches from the door edge to the center of the cross bore. For an opening bored at 2-3/8 inches you need an adjustable-backset latch instead, such as the Schlage 16-228, which covers 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch with a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch face.

The G2RLE275 comes with a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch strike, which is the common square-corner commercial strike size. If the frame is already prepped for a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch strike, it goes straight back in with no frame work. Frames cut for a 1 x 2-1/4 inch face will need filling or a different latch.

Deltana lists the G2RLE275 as a commercial Grade 2 latch. Grade 2 is the mid-duty ANSI/BHMA tier, suitable for multi-family units, offices, and light commercial openings; for high-abuse doors like stairwells or main entries on a busy building, specify Grade 1 hardware.

Treat it as a Deltana replacement part. It is a 2-3/4 inch backset cylindrical latch, but lock manufacturers use their own latch tail and retainer geometry, so for a Schlage B600/700/800 deadbolt use the Schlage 12-630, and for a Dexter C1000 lockset use the Dexter C1000-DL deadlatch.

No. The Deltana G2RLE275 is an entry-function spring latch for a tubular cylindrical lockset, bored at a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage 12-630 is a deadbolt latch for the B600, B700 and B800 series at a 2-3/8 inch backset, so it is a different function and a different backset even though its 1-1/8 inch x 2-1/4 inch square-corner face matches the Deltana strike size. A deadbolt latch has no retracting bevel worked by a lever or knob and will not operate an entry lockset.

The Deltana G2RLE275 is a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset regular latch with a 1-1/8 inch x 2-1/4 inch strike. If the opening might be bored at 2-3/8 inch instead, the Schlage 16-228 for the S200 and CS210 series is adjustable to either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch and carries the same 1-1/8 inch x 2-1/4 inch face with square corners, so the same mortise pocket in the door edge works either way. The Schlage 16-480 deadlatch for the S200 series is also adjustable between the two backsets but uses a 1 inch x 2-1/4 inch face, a narrower prep than the Deltana.

The Deltana G2RLE275 is a standard tubular entry latch at a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is more backset than a narrow sidelite stile usually allows. For sidelites, the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch is purpose-built for that application, fits 1-3/4 inch thick doors, is fire rated, and includes an ADA compliant thumbturn.

It is the entry function latch, meaning it pairs with a keyed cylindrical lockset where the outside is locked by key and the inside retracts the latch freely. It is not a passage or privacy latch and it is not a deadbolt, so it does not provide a separate locked bolt.

Two finishes are offered, Brushed Chrome and Polished Brass. Only the latch faceplate and strike show once installed, so match the finish to the trim on the door: brushed chrome with satin nickel or chrome levers, polished brass with brass trim.

The G2RLE275 is a plain entry latch that relies on a keyed cylindrical lockset for security. If you want the locking built into the unit with no keys to manage, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless combination deadlocking spring latch with an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick.

The G2RLE275 is sold each, so quantity is ordered per door. Standardizing works as long as every door is bored 2-3/4 inches and the frames take a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch strike. Older interior doors are often bored 2-3/8 inches, so verify a sample from each door type before committing a building-wide count.

Steel and zinc construction throughout the latch and strike. That is standard for a cylindrical lock latch and holds up to interior commercial use; for exterior openings with heavy weather exposure, check that the lockset body itself is specified for that condition.
