Lockey Adjustable Dead-Locking Spring Latch — Series 1150 / 1600 / 2830 / 2835 / 3830 / 3835

The Lockey adjustable dead-locking spring latch is the OEM replacement latch bolt for Lockey keyless lock series 1150, 1600, 2830, 2835, 3830, and 3835. The integrated dead-latch plunger blocks credit-card and blade bypass when the door is closed and the strike plate is engaged — a critical feature for gates and exterior doors in commercial and multi-family applications. The adjustable configuration accommodates minor variation in door and frame alignment within the compatible series.

Lockey SLADJUSTABLELEVER – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Lockey spring latch handed, or does it work on both left and right hand gates?
Handing is not a separate order decision here. The latch is adjustable and reversible, so the same part serves left and right hand openings across the compatible Lockey series. There is one model, SLADJUSTABLE LEVER, and no handed variant to pick.
2) What does the dead-latch plunger on a Lockey latch actually stop?
It stops credit-card and blade bypass. When the door or gate is fully closed and the strike plate is engaged, the small plunger beside the latch bolt is held depressed, which blocks the bolt from being pushed back by a shim. That protection only works if the strike is aligned so the plunger lands on the plate and not in the strike opening, which is the most common reason a dead-latch stops dead-latching.
3) What replaces the Lockey adjustable dead-locking spring latch on a wood door with a standard bored prep rather than a Lockey keyless lock?
The Lockey adjustable dead-locking spring latch is the OEM latch bolt for Lockey keyless lock series 1150, 1600, 2830, 2835, 3830 and 3835, so it is matched to those lock bodies rather than to a generic bored prep. For a standard drive-in prep on an entry function door, the Deltana DLE23875 drive-in adjustable latch is an entry-function latch covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. For a passage or privacy door, the Deltana DLP23875 is the passage/privacy version with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness.
4) Which adjustable latch should be used when the opening is a fire door assembly?
The Lockey adjustable dead-locking spring latch is specified for commercial and heavy-duty residential gates and doors. Where the opening is a fire door assembly, the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch and the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch are both UL 3 hour latches, the 83521 for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL locks. The Kwikset 84290 is a UL square corner plain latch at a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset, so the backset has to match the existing bore rather than be adjusted to it.
5) Is a plain latch an equivalent swap for the Lockey dead-locking spring latch on an exterior gate?
They are different latch types. The Lockey adjustable latch is a dead-locking spring latch bolt with an integrated plunger, and that plunger is what blocks credit-card and blade bypass once the door is closed against the strike plate. The Kwikset 83521 RCAL and the Kwikset 84290 are plain latches, which carry a latch bolt without that deadlatch plunger. On a gate or exterior door where bypass resistance is the reason the latch is there, a plain latch is not doing the same job.
6) I maintain a property with several Lockey keyless locks of different models. Can I stock one latch for all of them?
Across Lockey 1150, 1600, 2830, 2835, 3830 and 3835 units, yes, this single adjustable dead-locking spring latch covers all six series, and it is reversible so you do not stock a left and a right. That makes it a sensible spare to keep on the shelf if your gates and exterior doors run on those Lockey models.
7) My gate slams. Will a Lockey replacement latch hold up to that?
That is the duty this latch is built for. The spring is heavy duty and rated for repeated impact from slamming gates and doors, and the part is specified for commercial and heavy-duty residential gate and door use. A tired spring that no longer throws the bolt fully on a self-closing gate is the usual reason this latch gets replaced.
8) What does adjustable mean on the Lockey spring latch, and does it fix a gate that has sagged?
The adjustable configuration takes up minor variation in door and frame alignment within the compatible Lockey series. It buys you a small amount of tolerance, not a repair for a sagged gate. If the leaf has dropped far enough that the bolt no longer meets the strike opening, rehang or shim the gate and reset the strike first; the latch adjustment is there to fine-tune from there.
9) I need an adjustable backset latch for a standard bored lockset on a wood door, not a Lockey. What should I look at?
For a conventional tubular lockset, look at the Deltana drive-in adjustable latches: the DLE23875 in entry function and the DLP23875 in passage/privacy, with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Those cover the two standard commercial and residential backsets in one part. The Lockey adjustable latch is a different animal, it only serves Lockey keyless lock bodies.
10) Does the Lockey spring latch come with a strike plate, or do I order that separately?
The latch is sold as the latch bolt assembly, model SLADJUSTABLE LEVER, with the brass latch body and steel faceplate. The dead-latch function depends on the strike plate being present and correctly aligned, so if you are replacing a worn latch keep the existing strike in place, and if the strike is damaged or missing you will need to source one for your Lockey lock series before the plunger can do its job.
11) What is the difference between an adjustable backset latch and the Lockey adjustable dead-locking spring latch?
They adjust for different things. On the Deltana DLP23875, adjustable means the backset shifts between 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch to suit the bore location in the door. The Lockey adjustable latch is adjustable to take up minor variation in door and frame alignment across the Lockey 1150, 1600, 2830, 2835, 3830 and 3835 series it replaces. The Kwikset 83518 RCAL is an adjustable square drive latch, driven off a square spindle rather than a Lockey lock body.
12) Is the Emtek 83228 faceplate a substitute for the Lockey spring latch?
No. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners, so it is the trim plate and fasteners, not a latch bolt. The Lockey adjustable dead-locking spring latch is the working latch bolt with its deadlatch plunger. Nor is the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH a match, since that is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered line and throws a deadbolt rather than a spring latch.
13) Where do I find the backset and faceplate dimensions for the Lockey adjustable latch before I cut or order?
Full dimensional drawings and installation instructions are in the Lockey USA Lock Catalog, published at zensupply.com/content/pdf/lcn/Lockey_USA_Lock_Catalog. Because the latch is an OEM direct-fit part for the 1150, 1600, 2830, 2835, 3830 and 3835 series, an existing installation needs no new prep, the replacement lands in the same bore and faceplate mortise as the one coming out.
