Hager 3948 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Hager locksets does the 3948 latch fit?
The 3948 replaces the latch in Hager 2500, 3500 and 3700 series cylindrical locksets, and it covers all keyed functions in those lines. If you are servicing a knob set or lever set from one of those three families, this is the latch that goes back in. Hager publishes installation sheets for the 2525 and 3500 series knob sets and the 3600 series that walk the latch into the door prep.
2) Do I have to pick square corner or round corner on the Hager 3948 latch faceplate?
Yes, corner style is a required choice, square or round. Match whatever is already routed into the door edge. A radius mortise takes the round corner faceplate; a chiseled square mortise takes the square. Getting it wrong means either re-routing the edge or living with a gap around the plate.
3) The door is bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset - what latch should be used instead of the Hager 3948?
The Hager 3948 is a 2-3/4 inch backset latch, which is the deeper of the two standard cylindrical preps. For a door bored at 2-3/8 inch, the Falcon A57420-000 B Series springlatch is built to that backset with a 1 inch face. Backset is fixed by the hole already drilled in the door, so the latch has to be ordered to match the existing prep and to suit the lockset chassis it is going into.
4) What is the cross-brand equivalent of the Hager 3948 dead latch?
The closest cross-brand spring latch is the Falcon A57420-000, a B Series springlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1 inch face. The Hager 3948 is a brass spring latch built for Hager 2500, 3500 and 3700 series locksets and carries a 2-1/4 inch x 1-1/8 inch faceplate on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The two are prepped for different door bores and different parent locksets, so match the latch to the lockset chassis already in the door and to the backset the door was drilled for rather than treating them as drop-in swaps.
5) Can I order just the latch instead of a whole new Hager lockset?
Yes. The 3948 is the latch assembly alone, sold as a service part for 2500, 3500 and 3700 series locks. If the chassis and trim are sound and only the latch is dragging, sticking or worn, replacing the latch restores the opening without pulling the lock. Order it with the backset and faceplate corner matched to the door prep, and the finish matched to the trim.
6) Will a Falcon B Series springlatch work in a Hager 2500 or 3500 series lockset?
The Falcon A57420-000 is a B Series springlatch, meaning it is prepped for Falcon B Series locksets. The Hager 3948 is the spring latch made for Hager 2500, 3500 and 3700 series locksets in all keyed functions. Latches from different manufacturers share the same faceplate look but differ in tailpiece and chassis engagement, so a springlatch that looks like a substitute across the counter is matched to its own lock family. Order the latch that belongs to the lockset series in the door.
7) Which latch matches a 1 inch wide faceplate cutout in the door edge?
The Falcon A57420-000 springlatch has a 1 inch face. The Hager 3948 uses a 2-1/4 inch x 1-1/8 inch faceplate, available in square corner or round corner. The mortise cut in the door edge has to accept the faceplate width and corner style, so on a door already routed for a 1 inch face the Falcon dimension is the one that drops in without recutting; on a Hager 2500, 3500 or 3700 lockset the 3948 faceplate is what the prep was made for.
8) Is the Hager 3948 latch rated for high traffic commercial doors?
It is a commercial-grade component with a brass substrate, built for the office, school, healthcare and multi-tenant openings the 2500, 3500 and 3700 locksets go on. Brass holds up against corrosion in exterior-facing and wet-cleaned openings better than a plated steel latch.
