Kwikset 83714-004 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Kwikset 83714 adjustable latch fit a 2-3/4 inch backset, or only 2-3/8?
Both. The 83714 latch has an adjustable backset that sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches at install, so one part covers the two backsets used on residential and light commercial doors. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole to know which setting you need before you snap it out.
2) Can I use the Kwikset 83714 latch on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The 83714 is FD rated, meaning certified for use on fire doors, and it carries a UL10C 20-minute fire rating. That covers 20-minute openings such as many apartment entry and corridor doors. For a longer-rated opening you need hardware carrying that higher rating.
3) Do I have to order a separate faceplate for a square corner door prep?
No separate order needed. The 83714 ships as all-in-one hardware with a round corner faceplate, a square corner faceplate, and a drive-in collar. So whether the existing mortise in the door edge is square cut, radius cut, or the door is prepped for a drive-in latch with no faceplate at all, the parts are in the box.
4) I have Schlage locks, not Kwikset. What adjustable latch should I use instead?
Stay with the Schlage part matched to your lock series. For B500 series deadbolts, the Schlage 12-289 adjusts 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. For S200 and CS210 series, the 16-228 adjusts to the same two backsets with a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch square corner face. Latch parts are series specific, so match the series stamped on the lock body rather than swapping brands.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 83347 adjustable round corner deadbolt latch from another brand?
The Schlage Commercial 12-289 is the nearest match on form. It is a B500 Series deadbolt latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch face, and a 1/4 inch round corner faceplate - the same backset range, the same deadbolt latch type, and the same round corner as the Kwikset 83347. The difference is scope of prep coverage: the Kwikset 83347 ships with a round corner faceplate, a square corner faceplate, and a drive-in collar in one box, so one part covers three prep types, while the 12-289 is supplied to the B500 round corner face dimensions alone. If the existing door is prepped for a 1/4 inch round corner deadbolt mortise, either drops in.
6) I need a square corner deadbolt latch on a 2-3/8 inch backset door - what should I use instead of a round corner latch?
Two paths. The Kwikset 83347 already includes a square corner faceplate alongside the round corner faceplate and a drive-in collar, so a square corner prep is covered without a different part number. If you would rather order a dedicated square corner deadbolt latch, the Schlage Commercial 12-630 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset deadbolt latch for the B600, B700 and B800 Series with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch face and a square corner. Note the face width: the 12-630 measures 1-1/8 inches wide against the 1 inch face on the Kwikset 83347 and the Schlage 12-289, so the mortise pocket has to suit.
7) Can I use a Schlage 16-228 or 16-480 in place of a Kwikset 83347 deadbolt latch?
No - those are latches for a different half of the lockset. The Schlage 16-228 serves the S200 and CS210 Series and the Schlage 16-480 is a deadlatch for the S200 Series; both are square corner parts with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch face, and a deadlatch is the spring-retracted, beveled latch that a knob or lever throws. The Kwikset 83347 is a deadbolt latch - the bolt a thumbturn or key drives, with no spring return and no bevel. They share the adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is what makes them look interchangeable on a shelf, but the bolt cannot be driven by the other body. Match the latch to the lock function first, backset second.
8) The opening is a sidelite and I need an auxiliary deadbolt - is the Kwikset 83347 the right part?
No. The Kwikset 83347 is a replacement deadbolt latch for a standard door bore. For a sidelite, the Accentra YSSL10 is the part built for that opening: it is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. It is a complete auxiliary lock for the narrow sidelite stile rather than a bare latch dropped into an existing deadbolt prep. Use the Kwikset 83347 when there is already a deadbolt body in the door and the bolt itself is what you are replacing.
9) Is this Kwikset latch OK for commercial buildings or is it residential grade?
Kwikset classes the 83714 as commercial. Combined with the 20-minute UL10C fire rating, that makes it usable for apartment, multi-family and light commercial openings rather than being limited to houses.
10) I need a fixed backset Grade 1 latch, not an adjustable one. What are my options?
Deltana's Grade 1 regular latches come as fixed backset parts in both sizes and in two functions: the G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are entry function at 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset, and the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are passage/privacy at the same two backsets. Entry function is the deadlatching version used with keyed knobs and levers; passage/privacy is for non-keyed openings.
11) Is the Kwikset 83714 a complete lock or just the latch?
Just the latch. It is a replacement latch assembly for the door edge, not a lockset, so it comes with no exterior trim, no cylinder, no keys, and no strike. You reuse the lock body and trim already on the door and swap only the latch that has failed or that has the wrong backset.
12) Can I standardize one latch part across doors with different backsets in my building?
That is what the adjustable backset buys you. Because the 83714 sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches at install, a property manager or MRO stockroom can hold one part number instead of two and still cover both preps across a mixed building, and it stays legal on the 20-minute fire-rated openings thanks to the UL10C rating.
13) What is the difference between the Kwikset 83347 latch and a Deltana G1RLE238 or G1RLP238?
Function and fixity. The Deltana G1RLE238 is a Grade 1 regular latch with an entry function on a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset, and the G1RLE275 is the same latch on a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset; the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are the Grade 1 passage/privacy versions at those same two backsets. All four are the spring latch that a knob or lever operates. The Kwikset 83347 is a deadbolt latch with an adjustable backset settable to 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches at install. So a Deltana regular latch replaces the knob or lever latch in the door, while the Kwikset 83347 replaces the bolt in the deadbolt bore above it - on a typical entry door you may need one of each, not one or the other.
14) I have to stock one deadbolt latch that covers both backsets and both corner preps across a portfolio - what covers the most openings?
The Kwikset 83347 is built for that. One part number sets to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset at install and ships with a round corner faceplate, a square corner faceplate, and a drive-in collar, so it covers both common backsets and all three prep types from one bin. Among the Schlage parts, the 12-289 covers both backsets but only a 1/4 inch round corner face, and the 12-630 is a single 2-3/8 inch backset with a square corner face - so matching the Kwikset's coverage in Schlage means carrying at least two part numbers. The Kwikset 83347 is a commercial-rated part and comes in Dark Bronze/Black, Satin Nickel, and Satin Chrome, so the faceplate can be matched to what is already on the doors.
15) Is a Lockey M230 an alternative to the Kwikset 83347 since both mention an adjustable backset?
They are not alternatives. The Lockey M230 is a complete mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 inches to 2 inches thick - a whole lockset with pushbutton entry, not a component. The Kwikset 83347 is the deadbolt latch alone, adjustable to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and supplied with round corner and square corner faceplates plus a drive-in collar. Buy the M230 when you are converting an opening to keyless entry; buy the Kwikset 83347 when the existing deadbolt stays and only the bolt is being replaced.
16) My spec calls for a Grade 1 latch - which of these carries a stated grade?
The Deltana regular latches carry Grade 1: the G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 in the entry function at 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, and the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 in passage/privacy at those same backsets. The Dexter deadlatch for the C1000 Series is Grade 2. Those are all knob and lever latches. The Kwikset 83347 is the deadbolt latch and carries a UL10C 20-minute fire rating for use on fire doors, which is the certification that governs a deadbolt latch on a rated opening. On a fire-rated entry you are typically specifying the latch grade and the deadbolt fire listing as two separate lines.
17) What replaces the latch in a Dexter C1000 lockset - can I use the Kwikset 83347?
No. The Dexter Grade 1 Deadlatch for C1000 Series is the part made for that lockset, and it is a deadlatch - the beveled, spring-return latch that the knob or lever retracts. The Kwikset 83347 is a deadbolt latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, meant for a deadbolt bore. If the C1000 body stays in the door, use the Dexter deadlatch; the Kwikset 83347 goes in the separate deadbolt above it, where it also brings a UL10C 20-minute fire rating for rated openings.
18) What finishes does the Kwikset 83714 latch come in?
Three: Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, and Dark Bronze/Black. Pick the one matching the lock trim already on the door, since the faceplate is the only part of this latch that shows once the door is closed.
