Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 and what does it do inside the lock?
The 500308-0S-01 is a latchbolt link, an internal linking component in a Dormakaba mechanical lock assembly. It transfers motion within the latchbolt mechanism so the latch retracts and projects consistently. It is a genuine Dormakaba replacement part, not a complete latch, so you are buying it to repair a lock that is already hung, not to build a new one.
2) Can I use the Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 latchbolt link on a residential lockset?
No. The 500308-0S-01 is specified for commercial use and is built for Dormakaba mechanical lock assemblies in commercial door hardware. For a residential tubular lockset you want a complete drive-in or plain latch instead, such as the Deltana DLP23875 adjustable-backset passage/privacy latch or the Deltana DLE23875 entry latch, both of which cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
3) Can a Kwikset or Deltana drive-in latch be used in place of the Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 latchbolt link?
No. The Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 is an internal latchbolt link, a genuine OEM replacement component that sits inside a compatible Dormakaba commercial mechanical lock assembly and restores proper latchbolt operation. A complete latch unit such as the Deltana DLE23875 drive-in latch with an entry function, or the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset, is a whole bored-door latch that mortises or drives into the door edge. Those replace the entire latch, not the link inside a Dormakaba mechanism, so they will not substitute for the 500308-0S-01.
4) The latch in the door is worn out entirely, not just the link. What should I order instead?
When the full latch body needs replacing rather than an internal part, look at a complete latch unit rather than the Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 link, which is a replacement component for use inside a compatible Dormakaba mechanical lock assembly. The Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is rated UL 3 hour and is listed for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL, and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch is also UL 3 hour. On the Deltana side, the DLP23875 drive-in latch offers an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset in a passage/privacy function with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range.
5) My commercial lock latch is sluggish and won't retract fully. Is a latchbolt link the part I need?
If the lock is a Dormakaba mechanical unit and the handle turns but the latch drags or doesn't pull all the way back, the linking component in the latchbolt train is a common culprit, and the 500308-0S-01 is that part. It is the OEM piece, so it goes back in to original dimensions without filing or shimming. If the latch face itself is worn or the door has dropped out of alignment with the strike, the link won't fix that.
6) Is the Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 a full latch assembly or just an internal piece?
Just the link. You get the single latchbolt linking component, not a latch case, faceplate, screws, or strike. If you need hardware along with the latch, compare that to something like the Emtek 83228 kit, which is sold as a faceplate with screws for a tubular pocket door privacy latch.
7) Should I repair the Dormakaba lock with this link or just replace the latch outright?
For a Dormakaba commercial mechanical lock that is otherwise sound, replacing the 500308-0S-01 link keeps the existing prep and the existing keying, which matters if the opening is part of a standardized set across a building. Full replacement makes more sense when the lock body or the door prep is the problem. Note this is a mechanical part with no electrified function; if you are looking for motorized latching, that is a different product class, like the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch.
8) Is the Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 latchbolt link a fire rated part?
The 500308-0S-01 is an internal mechanical component for Dormakaba lock assemblies and carries no rating of its own. If your opening needs a rated latch, look at latches that state it, such as the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch listed as UL 3 hour or the Kwikset 84290 square corner plain latch with a 2-3/8 inch backset.
9) Which latch part suits a fire-rated opening instead of the Dormakaba 500308-0S-01?
The 500308-0S-01 is an OEM latchbolt link for compatible Dormakaba commercial mechanical locks and is specified by lock compatibility rather than by an opening rating. If the requirement on the drawing is a UL fire rating for the latch itself, the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch and the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch are both UL 3 hour, with the 83521 listed for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL trim.
10) Is the Emtek 83228 faceplate a comparable replacement part to the Dormakaba 500308-0S-01?
Both are replacement parts, but they serve different halves of a latch. The Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 is the internal latchbolt link inside a compatible Dormakaba commercial mechanical lock, so it addresses how the latchbolt is driven. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws with square corners for a tubular pocket door privacy latch, which is the visible edge trim and fasteners on a pocket door application. Ordering one when the other is needed leaves the repair incomplete.
11) Do I need to pull the whole lock off the door to change a latchbolt link?
The link sits inside the latchbolt assembly, so the lock has to come off the door and the assembly opened to reach it. Plan the job as a bench repair rather than an in-place swap. Because it is made to Dormakaba's original design dimensions, it drops into the same position the old one came out of.
12) What kinds of buildings is this Dormakaba replacement part typically used in?
It shows up in the openings a facilities or MRO crew maintains: commercial offices, schools, hospitals, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings. Anywhere Dormakaba mechanical locks are standardized across a door schedule, stocking the link lets a lock go back into service without changing the hardware on the opening.
13) We are converting the opening to motorized access control. What latch takes the place of a Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 repair?
A mechanical repair part will not carry that conversion. The Dormakaba 500308-0S-01 latchbolt link is a commercial OEM part that restores latchbolt operation in an existing Dormakaba mechanical lock. For a powered bolt, the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is an EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch, a deadbolt latch function in the EMPowered series, so it replaces the bolt assembly itself rather than repairing a mechanical one.
