Sargent 16-2149 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 16-2149 latch fit my door's backset?
The 16-2149 latchbolt is ordered to a fixed backset, either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so you pick the one that matches the existing bore. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the cross bore before ordering. 2-3/4 inch is the usual commercial prep and 2-3/8 inch the common residential-depth prep, and this part is not adjustable between the two.
2) What locks does the Sargent 16-2149 latchbolt work with?
It is an OEM Sargent component made for the 480 Series mechanical locksets. It drops into that chassis without modification, so it restores latching on an existing 480 Series lock rather than serving as a universal tubular latch. If your lockset is a different Sargent series, this is not the right part.
3) Can a Deltana or Kwikset drive-in latch be used in place of the Sargent 16-2149 in a 480 Series lockset?
No. The Sargent 16-2149 is a genuine OEM latchbolt backset component made to Sargent specifications for the 480 Series mechanical lockset, so it seats in the existing case without modification. The Deltana DLE23875 is a drive-in adjustable entry latch and the Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset - both are built for tubular residential-style bores, not for the Sargent 480 Series case. If the opening is a 480 Series commercial lock, the 16-2149 is the part that keeps the assembly intact.
4) What finishes does the Sargent 16-2149 latch come in, and does it need to match my lock trim?
Five finishes are offered: 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. The visible part on the door edge is the latch face, so for a building standardized on one finish, order the code that matches the existing lockset trim. Both the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 backsets are available in all five.
5) Do I have to replace the whole Sargent lockset if the latch is failing?
No. The 16-2149 is sold as a discrete latchbolt component so a 480 Series lock can be serviced in place, keeping the existing chassis, trim and cylinder. For a property manager or in-house maintenance crew that means one part on the truck instead of a full lockset per door.
6) I need a latch that works at either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset without ordering two part numbers - what are my options?
The Sargent 16-2149 is ordered to a fixed backset, either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, each available in finishes including 32D satin stainless steel, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze and 03 bright brass. If you want one part that covers both dimensions on a tubular door, the Deltana DLP23875 is a drive-in latch with an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch in a passage/privacy function, and the Deltana DLE23875 is the adjustable drive-in entry version. Those adjustable latches are tubular door parts, so they do not serve a Sargent 480 Series lockset - choose the 16-2149 backset that matches the door prep there.
7) What looks like a substitute for the Sargent 16-2149 but will not work?
Two common mix-ups. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners - it is trim hardware, not a latchbolt, so it cannot restore latching in a 480 Series lock. The Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series, an electrified deadbolt component rather than a mechanical latchbolt. The Sargent 16-2149 is the mechanical latchbolt backset built to Sargent specifications for the 480 Series lockset.
8) Is the Sargent 16-2149 latch suitable for high-traffic commercial doors?
Yes, it is a commercial-grade part intended for commercial door hardware, and typical uses include office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government facilities.
9) Is the Sargent 16-2149 handed?
Order by backset and finish only. The 16-2149 is specified by 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and one of five finish codes, with no separate hand option to call out.
