Schlage 11-069 - A Series Spring Latch, 1/4" Radius Corner, 1" x 2-1/4" Faceplate, 2-3/8" Backset

Both. A Series latches adjust for flat or beveled edge doors, so the faceplate seats flush against the edge either way. That is worth knowing if you are stocking spares for a building where the doors did not all come from the same supplier: one part number covers the square cut edges and the beveled lock stiles instead of two.

It is the A Series spring latch, and it is made to work with the A Series lock trim already on the door, so the knob or lever set stays where it is. You are replacing the latch unit only. The order is straightforward for a service call: pull the trim, swap the latch, put the same trim back. Confirm the old latch measures 2-3/8 inches backset with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch face before you fit it, since A Series latches are also built in other backsets and face sizes.

No. The 11-069 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset and there is no adjustment in it, so on a 2-3/4 inch bore the latch will not reach the retractor and the faceplate will not land on the mortise. For that prep, Deltana makes a Grade 1 regular latch in a 2-3/4 inch backset: the G1RLE275 in entry function, or the G1RLP275 for passage and privacy openings. Deltana also lists both of those in 2-3/8 inch (G1RLE238 and G1RLP238) if some of your doors are the shorter backset.

Plain spring latch. It is a beveled latchbolt with a spring behind it and no deadlocking plunger riding alongside the bolt. That is what you want on passage and interior openings, and it is what most A Series trim was fitted with. On a keyed exterior or tenant entry door, many specs call for a deadlatch instead, because the plunger blocks the bolt from being carded when the door is closed against the strike. If the lock you are servicing is a Dexter C1000, the deadlatch built for that series is the Dexter Grade 1 Deadlatch for C1000 Series.

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. It matters less than people expect. Once the door is shut, the only part of the latch anyone sees is the faceplate on the edge of the door, so match it to the strike and the hinges rather than to the knob. On a building standardised in 626 satin chrome, ordering the latch in 626 keeps the door edge consistent when the door swings open.

Commercial. The latch body is stainless steel and it is a certified Schlage part rather than a generic aftermarket replacement, which is the reason it holds up in a corridor or tenant door that cycles all day. For MRO stock, that also means the part you pull off the shelf next year is the same part you fitted this year.

No. A 2-3/8 inch backset puts the bore centre 2-3/8 inches in from the edge of the door, which needs a stile wide enough to carry a standard bored lock. A sidelite panel does not have it. For that opening, use a latch built for the application: the Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors and fire rated.

Swapping the 11-069 only makes sense if the trim and chassis are still good, since it is a replacement latch that reuses the lock trim already on the door. If the lockset itself is finished, one route on a door where you also want to drop the keys is the Lockey M230, a mechanical keyless combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, which fits doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. The adjustable backset is useful when you have a mix of 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch preps across a building and do not want two part numbers.

The Schlage 11-069 A Series spring latch is built to a 2-3/8 inch backset with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate and a 1/4 inch radius corner, and it is adjustable for flat or beveled edge doors. Deltana runs the same 2-3/8 inch backset in two Grade 1 regular latches: the G1RLE238 in an entry function and the G1RLP238 in a passage/privacy function. Choose between those two by what the lock has to do at that door, and check the faceplate shape and size your existing prep is mortised for before you order, since a square corner prep and a radius corner prep are not interchangeable without rework.

Every 11-069 spring latch carries the same 2-3/8 inch backset, so it lands on openings prepped at 2-3/8 inches. For a 2-3/4 inch backset, Deltana offers the G1RLE275 Grade 1 regular latch in an entry function and the G1RLP275 Grade 1 regular latch in a passage/privacy function, both cut for 2-3/4 inches. If a building mixes both bores, measure from the door edge to the center of the cross bore on each opening and order to that number rather than assuming one backset across the floor, because 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch preps often sit side by side in buildings that were renovated in phases.

The 11-069 is a Schlage A Series replacement spring latch identified by its physical prep: a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate, a 1/4 inch radius corner and a 2-3/8 inch backset, in stainless steel, compatible with lock trim. Deltana identifies its Grade 1 regular latches by function instead, with the G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 in an entry function and the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 in a passage/privacy function, offered at 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets. For a facility standard, that is two different ways of holding stock: one Schlage part number covers the A Series doors sharing that faceplate and backset, while the Deltana route means deciding entry versus passage/privacy for each opening and stocking both.

No, they are different scopes of purchase. The Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination deadlocking spring latch lock with an adjustable backset and a 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, so it is a complete lock with its own code entry and its own trim. The Schlage 11-069 is the latch alone: an A Series spring latch in stainless steel, 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate, 1/4 inch radius corner, 2-3/8 inch backset, adjustable for flat or beveled edge doors and compatible with lock trim. If the knob or lever and rose on the door are staying and only the latch has failed, the 11-069 is the part that goes back into the edge bore. Going to the M230 means changing the way the door is operated, not just the part inside it.

That is a different part. The 11-069 is an A Series spring latch for a standard lock prep at a 2-3/8 inch backset, adjustable for flat or beveled edge doors, and it works with the lock trim on the active leaf. For the sidelite itself, Accentra makes the YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, listed at a 1-3/4 inch door thickness and carrying a fire rating. On an entrance with an active leaf and a fixed panel, those are two separate line items on the order: the sidelite latch secures the panel, and the 11-069 goes into the A Series leaf that people actually walk through.

The Dexter deadlatch is built for the C1000 series, so it is matched to that chassis and its trim. The 11-069 is the A Series spring latch, in stainless steel with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate, a 1/4 inch radius corner and a 2-3/8 inch backset, adjustable for flat or beveled edge doors and compatible with lock trim. Latches are matched to the lock they were designed around, so a C1000 latch belongs in a C1000 lock and the 11-069 belongs in the A Series lock. Identify the chassis on the door first, then order the latch that goes with it. If you are working with unmarked commercial locks, pull one latch and compare the faceplate size and corner shape before committing to a building quantity.
