Kwikset 82730 - 5L Deadbolt Specialty Latch

No. Deadbolt latches are brand and series specific in how the bolt tailpiece or drive engages the cylinder, and the 82730 is a Kwikset part. For Schlage, use the Schlage part for the series you have: 12-289 for B500 Series, or 12-630 for B600/700/800 Series. Pulling the old latch and reading the series stamped on the deadbolt collar before ordering saves a second trip.

The 82730 is sold as a fixed 5 latch specification. If you need one part to cover both common backsets, the Schlage 12-289 for B500 Series deadbolts and the Schlage 16-228 for S200/CS210 Series adjust between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches. Those two are the only backsets used on North American residential and light commercial doors, so measuring center of the bore to the edge of the door tells you which side you land on.

Two different parts. A deadbolt latch like the 82730 has a square bolt with no bevel, so it only moves when the cylinder or thumbturn is turned, and it does nothing when the door is simply pulled shut. A deadlatch has a beveled latch with a small auxiliary plunger that locks the latch against being carded, and it self latches on closing. Most commercial entries use both: a lockset or deadlatch for everyday closing plus a deadbolt for security. If a deadlatch is what you actually need, the Schlage 16-480 for S200 Series or the Dexter deadlatch for C1000 Series are the parts to look at.

Faceplate shape decides whether an old mortise pocket in the door edge accepts a new latch without chiseling. Kwikset builds the 82730 to its own 5 latch spec, so it drops back into a door already prepped for that Kwikset deadbolt. Coming from another brand, match the face: Schlage 12-289 uses a 1 x 2-1/4 inch face with a 1/4 inch round corner, while the 12-630 and 16-228 use a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch face with a square corner. Trace the old faceplate before you order.

No. The Kwikset 82730 is a deadbolt latch, which throws a solid bolt when the thumbturn or key is turned and has no beveled face to ride over the strike. A deadlatch such as the Schlage 16-480 for the S200 series, adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch face and square corner, or the Dexter Grade 2 deadlatch for the C1000 series, latches on door close and carries an auxiliary plunger against carding. They serve different lock bodies and different preps, so a deadlatch is a replacement for a keyed cylindrical lockset, not for a deadbolt.

The 82730 is a replacement latch for a Kwikset deadbolt body, so it only suits an opening where that deadbolt is already specified. For a narrow sidelite application the Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, fits a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and carries a fire rating. That combination of ADA thumbturn and fire rating is what an institutional or multi-family spec usually asks for at a glass front entrance.

The Kwikset 82730 is a 5L specialty deadbolt latch built in stainless steel and sold in commercial door hardware. If the job calls for a stated Grade 1 latch at a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Deltana G1RLE238 is a Grade 1 regular latch with an Entry function at 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Deltana G1RLP238 is the same Grade 1 regular latch at 2-3/8 inch backset with a Passage/Privacy function. Choose by function: Entry for a keyed lockset, Passage/Privacy for a non-keyed or privacy set.

For a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Deltana G1RLE275 is a Grade 1 regular latch with an Entry function at 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Deltana G1RLP275 is the Grade 1 regular latch at 2-3/4 inch backset in Passage/Privacy. If you would rather carry one part that fits either prep, the Schlage 12-289 B500 series deadbolt latch is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch face and 1/4 inch round corner, and the Schlage 16-228 for the S200 and CS210 series is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch face and square corner. Match the face size and corner to the mortise already cut in the door edge.

The Kwikset 82730 is a 5L specialty deadbolt latch. On the Schlage commercial side the deadbolt latch is chosen by lock series: the Schlage 12-289 serves the B500 series and is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch face and 1/4 inch round corner, while the Schlage 12-630 serves the B600, B700 and B800 series at a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset with a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch face and square corner. Confirm which deadbolt body is in the door before ordering, since the two differ in face width and corner shape as well as backset.

Commercial. Kwikset classes the 82730 as a commercial part, and the stainless steel latch body is what carries that. For a property manager standardizing a building on Kwikset deadbolts, it is the right service part to stock for entry and unit doors rather than a residential-grade replacement.

A deadbolt latch will not work in a knob or lever bore. For a lockset you need a latch matched to the function: Deltana G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Grade 1 entry latches in 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, and G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are the Grade 1 passage/privacy versions in the same two backsets. Entry for exterior and unit doors, passage or privacy for interior. Grade 1 is the heaviest ANSI/BHMA duty tier, which is what an institutional spec usually calls for.

If the goal is to get away from keys entirely rather than to service the existing deadbolt, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination deadlocking spring latch lock with an adjustable backset, and it fits doors from 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. It replaces the lock rather than the latch inside it, so it is a different scope of work from swapping the 82730 into an existing Kwikset deadbolt. Property managers standardizing a building on code entry usually take this route; crews servicing doors one at a time stay with the deadbolt latch.

The four Deltana Grade 1 regular latches are separated by two variables only. Function: the G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Entry, the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are Passage/Privacy. Backset: the G1RLE238 and G1RLP238 are 2-3/8 inch, the G1RLE275 and G1RLP275 are 2-3/4 inch. All four are stated Grade 1. Pick the function from the lockset going on the door and the backset from the bore already in it.

The 82730 is the latch assembly itself, the bolt and faceplate that mount in the door. Order the strike separately if the existing one is damaged or if you are changing finish, since a mismatched strike is the part that shows on the frame. The cylinder, thumbturn, and mounting screws for the deadbolt body stay with the lock you are servicing.

If the goal is to get rid of keys on the opening rather than service an existing Kwikset deadbolt, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless combination deadlocking spring latch lock with an adjustable backset, and it covers doors from 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. That thickness range is wider than a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door, so it also suits older or thinner doors where a standard lock will not seat.
