Schlage 11-068 - A Series Spring Latch, Square Corner, 1" x 2-1/4" Faceplate, 2-3/8" Backset

Yes. The A Series spring latch is adjustable for either a flat or a beveled edge door, so the same part covers both preps. That is the reason this latch shows up on service trucks as a general A Series replacement rather than a bevel-specific part.

It is a 2-3/8 inch backset latch with a square corner faceplate measuring 1 x 2-1/4 inches. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore: if that comes out at 2-3/4 inches, this is the wrong latch and you need the 2-3/4 inch A Series version. The two standard residential and light commercial backsets are 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, and they are not interchangeable.

No. This latch has a square corner faceplate, so it drops into a square mortise in the door edge. If the existing mortise in your door has rounded corners, a square faceplate will leave gaps at the corners and will not sit flush. Order the radius corner A Series latch for that prep instead, or route the mortise square.

That is exactly what it is. The 11-068 is a certified Schlage replacement part for the A Series and is compatible with A Series lock trim, so you can change out a worn or damaged latch without pulling and replacing the whole lockset. Match the backset (2-3/8 inch here) and the faceplate shape (square corner) to what is already in the door.

Treat it as a Schlage A Series part. It is specified as compatible with A Series lock trim, and nothing in the record supports dropping it into another manufacturer's chassis. If you are replacing a latch in a different brand's lock, go to that brand's part: Deltana lists regular latches in both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, split by function, the G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 for entry and the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 for passage and privacy.

No. The Schlage 11-068 is an A Series spring latch that works behind lock trim on a standard bored door and adjusts for flat or beveled door edges. For a sidelite, the Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, carries a fire rating, and is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. That is the part for the narrow sidelite application.

Yes. The Deltana G1RLE238 is a Grade 1 regular latch in entry function at a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Deltana G1RLP238 is the Grade 1 regular latch at 2-3/8 inch backset in passage/privacy function. Both match the 2-3/8 inch backset the Schlage 11-068 uses, so the door prep does not change; specifiers who have to show a graded latch on a submittal typically go this route.

Eight: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. On a building where you are standardizing, pick the latch finish to match the lock trim already on the door, since the faceplate is the visible piece on the door edge.

It is a commercial A Series part built in stainless steel. For a property manager cycling apartment or office doors daily, stainless is the material you want in the latch body, since that is the part taking the strike hit every time the door closes.

A spring latch like the 11-068 has a plain beveled bolt that retracts when the door closes and holds it shut. A deadlatch adds a small secondary plunger alongside the bolt that blocks it from being pushed back once the door is closed, which is what resists carding on an exterior opening. If you are servicing an interior A Series lock, the spring latch is the correct part; on an exterior door where anti-shim matters, look at a deadlatching option such as the Dexter deadlatch for the C1000 Series.

Both are Grade 1 regular latches at a 2-3/8 inch backset, so the bore and edge prep are the same for either. The difference is function: the G1RLE238 is an entry latch and the G1RLP238 is a passage/privacy latch. Match the latch to the trim already on the door -- a keyed entry lever takes the entry version, a hall/closet or bath/bedroom set takes the passage/privacy version. The Schlage 11-068 shares the 2-3/8 inch backset with both.

No, they are different classes of product. The Schlage 11-068 is a replacement spring latch that installs behind existing lock trim. The Lockey M230 is a complete mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, so it replaces the whole lockset and its trim, not just the latch. Order the M230 when you are changing how the door is operated; order the 11-068 when the trim stays and only the latch is being replaced.

A spring latch like the Schlage 11-068 has a plain latchbolt; a deadlatch adds a plunger that blocks the bolt from being carded. The Dexter Grade 1 Deadlatch for the C1000 Series is a deadlatch built for Dexter C1000 series locks, so it is the swap when the opening needs deadlatching rather than a plain spring latch. Note that it is matched to the C1000 series, not to Schlage A Series trim.

The Schlage 11-068 covers the 2-3/8 inch backset openings running Schlage A Series lock trim, in a stainless steel latch that adjusts for flat or beveled door edges. For the 2-3/4 inch preps, the Deltana Grade 1 regular latches split by function: G1RLE275 for entry and G1RLP275 for passage/privacy. Their 2-3/8 inch counterparts, G1RLE238 and G1RLP238, let you carry one family across both preps if you prefer a single brand on the shelf.

Often, yes. When a door pushes open under light pressure, the usual culprits are a worn latch spring or a bolt that no longer projects fully, and swapping in a fresh A Series latch settles it without touching the trim. If the bolt is projecting properly and still missing, the problem is strike alignment, not the latch, and you are looking at shimming or relocating the strike plate.
