Sargent 06-5234 3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 06-5234 latch fit a door bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset?
No. The 06-5234 is a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset latch, so it needs a door bored with the cross-bore 2-3/4 inches back from the edge. On a 2-3/8 inch prep the latch tailpiece will not reach the lock chassis correctly. If your opening is bored 2-3/8, you need the 2-3/8 backset version of the Sargent 6-Line latch rather than this one.
2) Which Sargent locks does the 06-5234 replacement latch work with?
It is built for Sargent 6-Line mechanical locksets. Sargent's part numbering is series specific, so a 6-Line latch is not interchangeable with 7-Line, 8-Line or 10-Line bodies even when the backset matches. Confirm the lock chassis is a 6-Line before ordering.
3) What does an unguarded latch mean, and when should I use a guarded (deadlatching) one instead?
Unguarded means the latchbolt has no auxiliary deadlatch plunger beside it. That is fine on interior openings, classroom and office doors where the lock is not the primary security point. On an exterior or otherwise secured door you generally want the guarded version, because the deadlatch plunger rides the strike lip and blocks the bolt from being carded back. The 06-5234 is the unguarded 6-Line latch.
4) Can a Kwikset 84290 plain latch be used in place of a Sargent 06-5234 latch?
No. The Sargent 06-5234 is a commercial unguarded replacement latch built with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1 inch front for Sargent 6-Line mechanical locks. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset, so it neither matches the 2-3/4 inch bore-to-edge dimension of a 6-Line prep nor engages a Sargent 6-Line chassis. For a 6-Line lock the replacement latch has to come from the Sargent 6-Line part family.
5) I need a 2-3/4 inch backset latch for a residential wood door, not a Sargent lock. What should I use instead?
The Sargent 06-5234 is a commercial replacement part matched to Sargent 6-Line mechanical locks, so it is the wrong starting point for a generic residential door. The Deltana DLP23875 is a drive-in latch with an adjustable backset that sets to either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch in a passage/privacy function, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. If the opening is a keyed entry instead, the Deltana DLE23875 is the entry-function drive-in latch covering the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range.
6) What size faceplate does the Sargent 06-5234 latch have?
The front measures 1 inch, which suits standard commercial edge prep for 6-Line locks. If the existing latch in the door has a wider front, the mortise pocket in the door edge will show a gap around the new plate, so match the front width when you order.
7) What finishes does the Sargent 06-5234 latch come in?
Five: 03 bright brass clear coated, 04 satin brass clear coated, 10 satin bronze clear coated, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, and 32D satin stainless steel. Only the latch front shows once installed, so match it to the existing lever trim and strike on the opening, not to the rest of the door.
8) Do I need a new strike when I replace the latch with the 06-5234?
Usually not. Because the backset stays at 2-3/4 inches and the front is 1 inch, the bolt lands in the same place in the frame as the 6-Line latch you are pulling out, so the existing strike and frame prep carry over. Plan on a strike only if you are changing backset or moving from a guarded latch to this unguarded one and want the lip geometry redone.
9) What is the difference between the Sargent 06-5234 latch and a UL fire-rated latch like the Kwikset 83521?
The Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is published with a UL 3 hour rating and is intended for Kwikset BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL locks. The Sargent 06-5234 is a Sargent 6-Line unguarded replacement latch with a 2-3/4 inch backset and 1 inch front, sold as a service part to restore latching on installed 6-Line commercial hardware. They serve different lock families, so the choice is decided by which chassis is in the door, not by which part you prefer.
10) Is the Emtek 83228 faceplate an alternative to the Sargent 06-5234?
No. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws set with square corners for a tubular pocket door privacy latch, so it supplies trim only. The Sargent 06-5234 is the complete unguarded latch unit itself, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1 inch front for Sargent 6-Line mechanical locks. If the latch bolt or case has failed, the faceplate part will not restore function.
11) Is this Sargent latch suitable for apartment and school doors, or is it residential-grade?
It is a commercial-grade part, made to Sargent's standard for 6-Line lock components, and typically goes back into office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial space, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. For a property manager standardizing interior openings across a building, ordering one backset and one finish across the fleet keeps the parts cart simple.
12) My opening needs a motorized or electrified bolt rather than a mechanical latch. What takes the place of the Sargent 06-5234?
The Sargent 06-5234 is a purely mechanical unguarded latch for Sargent 6-Line locks. For an electrified bolt the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series. That is a different product class with its own door prep and power requirements, not a drop-in swap for a 6-Line mechanical latch.
13) For matching finishes across a building, how does the Sargent 06-5234 compare with the Kwikset 83518 adjustable latch?
The Sargent 06-5234 unguarded latch is offered in 03 bright brass clear coated, 04 satin brass clear coated, 10 satin bronze clear coated, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, and 32D satin stainless steel, which lets the exposed front be matched to installed Sargent 6-Line trim. The Kwikset 83518 is an RCAL adjustable square drive latch carrying a UL 3 hour rating, specified by lock family and rating rather than by a comparable Sargent finish range.
