Deltana G2RLP238 Grade 2 Regular Latch, Passage, 2-3/8" Backset

Passage only. The G2RLP238 is a passage/hall/closet function latch, meaning the knob or lever retracts the latch from both sides with no locking and no keyway. Use it on closets, halls, and pantry doors. For a room that needs privacy or keyed security, you need a privacy or entry latch, not this one.

It carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 rating and Deltana classes it as a commercial latch. Grade 2 is the standard light commercial and heavy residential tier, so it suits multi-family corridors, offices, and closet doors. For high-abuse openings such as school corridors or hospital entries, spec a Grade 1 latch instead.

The Deltana G2RLP238 is fixed at 2-3/8 inches, so it won't cover both. If you're replacing latches across a building and the preps vary, an adjustable-backset unit saves you sorting them: the Schlage S200/CS210 Series 16-228 and the S200 Series 16-480 both adjust between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, as does the Schlage B500 Series 12-289 on the deadbolt side.

The Deltana G2RLP238 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset latch, so it will not reach a 2-3/4 inch bore. The Schlage 16-228 for the S200 and CS210 series is adjustable to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and has a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch square corner face, and the Schlage 16-480 deadlatch for the S200 series is also adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch square corner face. Adjustable-backset latches let one part cover both common bore dimensions, which is useful when you are stocking for a mixed building.

No. The G2RLP238 is a spring latch for a bored lockset with a passage function, so it retracts with the knob or lever and has no bolt throw of its own. A deadbolt takes a dedicated bolt assembly: the Schlage 12-289 fits the B500 series and is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch round corner face, while the Schlage 12-630 fits the B600, 700 and 800 series at a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset with a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch square corner face. Match the bolt to the deadbolt series on the door, not to the latch.

The G2RLP238 is a regular latch with a passage function, meaning the latchbolt is plain and the knob or lever never locks. It is intended for halls, closets and other openings that only need to stay closed. For a keyed exterior opening you want a deadlatching latch, where an auxiliary plunger blocks the latchbolt from being carded. The Dexter Grade 1 deadlatch for the C1000 series and the Schlage 16-480 deadlatch for the S200 series are both deadlatch parts, the 16-480 being adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.

The G2RLP238 is a passage latch for a standard bored lockset prep at 2-3/8 inch backset, which assumes a conventional door stile. For a sidelite, the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch is built for that application, fits 1-3/4 inch doors and is fire rated, and it includes an ADA compliant thumbturn. That addresses locking and accessibility on a sidelite in a way a plain passage latch is not intended to.

One strike ships with each latch, and it is sold by the each. So a single order covers the latch and its frame strike, but no screws-and-trim package beyond that, and no knob or lever, those are ordered separately.

Three finishes are offered: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Chrome, and Polished Brass. Pick the one matching the knob or lever trim so the latch face and strike don't stand out against the rest of the opening. If your building runs satin nickel or black, none of the three will blend cleanly.

No fire rating is carried on the G2RLP238, so don't spec it on a labeled opening. Where a fire-rated assembly is involved, ZenSupply carries the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch, which is fire rated and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, though it is a sidelite auxiliary latch rather than a passage latch, so it is not a direct functional swap.

Cylindrical passage latches of this type are non-handed in service: the latch bolt is beveled on one side, and you rotate or flip the latch so the bevel faces the direction the door closes. One G2RLP238 covers either hand of swing, which is why it works for stocking a mixed set of openings in a building.

Both carry a Grade 2 rating, so they sit at the same ANSI/BHMA tier for commercial use. The difference is function: the G2RLP238 is a regular passage latch at a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset in zinc and steel with one strike included, while the Dexter part is a deadlatch built for the C1000 cylindrical series. Choose on whether the opening is keyed or passage rather than on grade.

The G2RLP238 provides free passage only, with no locking and no credential of any kind. If the opening needs code entry, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. It is a complete lock rather than a latch component, so it replaces the lockset instead of dropping into an existing one.
