Kwikset 83703 6-Way Adjustable Deadbolt, Contains Adjustable Deadlatch, Round Corner Faceplate, Square Corner Faceplate, Back Plate, and Drive-In Collar

Either one. The Kwikset 83703 deadbolt latch is adjustable and covers both 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, so you set it in the field rather than picking a backset at order time. That is the point of buying it as a service part: one number on the truck handles the two backsets you actually meet on residential and light commercial doors.

Six configurations out of one part. The 83703 adjusts between 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset, and it ships with three interchangeable front treatments: a round corner faceplate, a square corner faceplate, and a drive-in collar. Two backsets times three fronts is the six ways. So whether the door is prepped with a rounded mortise, a square mortise, or a plain drive-in bore with no faceplate mortise at all, you have the piece in the box.

Yes, and that is what the drive-in collar in the box is for. Fit the collar instead of either faceplate and the bolt drives straight into the 1 inch edge bore with no chisel work on the door edge. If the existing prep does have a mortise, use the round corner or square corner faceplate to match the cut that is already there. All three come with the part, so you decide at the door, not at the order form.

Yes, if the outside cylinder and thumbturn are sound. The 83703 replaces the bolt assembly alone and includes the back plate, so the tailpiece drive engages the same way it did before. Because it covers both 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets and carries all three front treatments, one part number stocks against a mixed set of doors rather than having to survey every unit first. Kwikset rates it for commercial use, so it holds up to turnover traffic in multifamily.

No. The 83703 is built to drive Kwikset deadbolts, and the bolt housing, tailpiece drive, and mounting screw pattern are brand specific. For a Schlage B500 deadbolt use the Schlage 12-289 adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch face and 1/4 inch round corner. For B600, B700, or B800 the Schlage 12-630 is the deadbolt latch, 2-3/8 inch backset, 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner face. Mixing brands here gets you a bolt that will not throw.

No. The Deltana G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Grade 1 regular latches with an Entry function, and the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are Grade 1 regular latches with a Passage/Privacy function. Those are spring latches driven by a knob or lever and they retract when the handle turns. The Kwikset 83703 is a deadbolt latch, which throws and holds without a handle. Order the Deltana parts when you are rebuilding the knob or lever bore, and the 83703 when you are rebuilding the deadbolt bore above it. The Deltana parts are also fixed-backset, one part number for 2-3/8 inch and another for 2-3/4 inch, where the 83703 is 6-way adjustable and covers both.

For a sidelite, the Accentra YSSL10 Security SideLite Auxiliary Latch is the purpose-built part. It comes with an ADA compliant thumbturn, is fire rated, and fits a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which is the standard commercial sidelite stile. The Kwikset 83703 is a 6-way adjustable latch for deadbolts and is not a sidelite assembly, so it will not give you the thumbturn or the sidelite mounting. Glass front installers and institutional buyers who need the ADA thumbturn and a fire rating on the opening should specify the YSSL10.

Plan on it if you are changing the door prep. What comes in the box is the adjustable deadlatch itself, the round corner faceplate, the square corner faceplate, the back plate, and the drive-in collar. Nothing on the jamb side is included. On a straight bolt swap into an existing opening the strike already in the frame normally stays, since the backset change moves the bolt within the door, not the strike location.

Probably not. A sidelite has very little stile to bore, and the 83703 is set up for the standard two backsets on a full door leaf, 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches. For a sidelite, the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch is the purpose built part, listed for 1-3/4 inch thick doors and fire rated, with an ADA compliant thumbturn. Measure the stile before you bore either way.

No handing to specify. A deadbolt throws straight out of the door edge with no bevel and no latch angle, so it does not care which way the door swings or which side the hinges are on. The only two things you set are the backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, and which of the three faceplate treatments matches the prep on that door.

It comes down to the series on the door and the prep in the edge. The Schlage 12-289 is for the B500 Series, adjustable to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch face and a 1/4 inch round corner. The Schlage 12-630 is for the B600, B700, and B800 Series, fixed at a 2-3/8 inch backset, with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner face. So a B500 with a 2-3/4 inch backset takes the 12-289, and a B600 with a round corner mortise does not take the 12-630. The Kwikset 83703 sidesteps the prep question: one 6-way adjustable latch with both a round corner and a square corner faceplate plus a drive-in collar, spanning 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets.

The Schlage S200 Series 16-480 is a deadlatch adjustable to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner face. The Kwikset 83703 is also a 6-way adjustable latch covering 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, and it ships with three interchangeable faceplate options: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. So the two match on backset range, and the choice comes down to face size and prep: the 16-480 is a 1 inch face tied to the S200 Series, while the 83703 lets the installer pick the corner style or go drive-in on site. The 83703 is offered in Dark Bronze/Black, Satin Chrome, and Satin Nickel.

The Dexter deadlatch for the C1000 Series is a Grade 2 part built for Dexter C1000 Series locks, so it is a series-specific replacement rather than a general adjustable deadbolt latch. The Kwikset 83703 is a 6-way adjustable latch intended for use with deadbolts and includes round corner and square corner faceplates plus a drive-in collar. If the door has a Dexter C1000 lever, order the Dexter part to keep the chassis matched; if you are servicing a deadbolt and need to fit whichever prep is already in the door edge, the 83703 covers 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets in a commercial-rated part.

The Lockey M230 Mechanical Keyless Digital Combination Deadlocking Spring Latch Lock has an adjustable backset and fits doors from 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, so it covers thin doors that a standard commercial prep does not. It is a complete keyless combination lock, not a latch component, so it replaces the lock rather than servicing one. The Kwikset 83703 is a 6-way adjustable latch that goes into an existing deadbolt bore with a round corner faceplate, square corner faceplate, or drive-in collar, and it keeps whatever keyed deadbolt is already on the door. Property managers standardizing on code access across a fleet would take the M230; a repair to an existing keyed deadbolt takes the 83703.
