Schlage 13-048 Spring Latch (Unguarded), With 2-1/4" x 1-1/8" Square Corner Faceplate, 2-3/4" Backset, 1" Housing Diameter, For Use With ND Series (Before January 31, 2017)

Schlage supplies the 13-048 as a service latch for ND Series cylindrical locks, so it seats in the ND chassis rather than being a universal cylindrical latch. One catch worth checking before you order: it is the latch specified for ND locks built before January 31, 2017. Schlage revised the ND platform at that point, so confirm the vintage of the lock body you are servicing. If the lock is newer than that changeover, the 13-048 is not the part for it.

Spring latch, unguarded. There is no auxiliary deadlocking plunger riding alongside the latchbolt, so the bolt can be pushed back when the door is closed. That is fine on interior openings, offices, storerooms and anywhere the security is carried by a deadbolt or the door is not an exterior one. On an entry door, or any opening where someone could get a shim or card at the latch, order the deadlatching version of the ND latch instead.

Just the latch. The 13-048 is sold as a Schlage replacement part on its own, so a latch that is dragging, sticking, not projecting fully or has a chewed-up faceplate gets swapped without pulling the lock body apart, changing the lever, or touching the cylinder and keying. Latch is stainless steel and the part is specified for commercial use, which is what you want on a door cycling all day in a corridor or a multi-family common area.

The 13-048 carries a square corner faceplate. That matches a factory-prepped hollow metal door or a wood door edge that was chiselled square. If the latch you are pulling out has rounded corners, the edge was routed and a square plate will not drop flush until you square those corners with a sharp chisel. Two minutes of work on one door, worth knowing about before you commit to fifty of them.

The faceplate is the one part of the latch anybody sees, sitting on the door edge, so match it to the lockset and to the other openings on the floor. Six finishes are offered: 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. If you are standardising a building and the existing hardware is the usual commercial specification, 626 satin chrome is the one you are most likely matching.

Different jobs. The 13-048 is a Schlage service latch made to go back into an ND Series lock. The Deltana latches are supplied for Deltana's own sets: the G1RLE275 is a Grade 1 entry latch at 2-3/4 inch backset, the G1RLE238 the same at 2-3/8 inch, with the G1RLP275 and G1RLP238 covering passage and privacy at those two backsets. If the lock on the door is an ND, stay with the Schlage part. If you are building out Deltana hardware, the Deltana latch is the one that belongs to it.

No. The 13-048 belongs to the Schlage ND Series and a C1000 chassis takes its own part. For a Dexter C1000 the matching service part is the Dexter deadlatch for the C1000 Series. Worth pulling the lock and reading the stamping before ordering, because a cylindrical latch that looks identical across the counter is often not interchangeable between brands.

No, those are two different jobs. The Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, it is fire rated, and it lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which is the part that secures the fixed sidelite panel itself. The 13-048 is the spring latch that goes inside a Schlage ND Series lock in the active door leaf, so on a job with both conditions you order the YSSL10 for the sidelite and the 13-048 for the ND lock.

No. Replacing the latch changes nothing about how the door is locked or who can get through it, it only restores the bolt that throws into the strike. To go keyless on that opening you are changing the lock itself, and the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, fitting doors from 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. No wiring or batteries involved with that one.

No. The 13-048 is the ND Series spring latch, matched to Schlage ND Series locks, so it is the part that lands in that lock's case pocket. The other regular latches sold alongside it are built to their own lock families: the Dexter deadlatch is made for the Dexter C1000 Series, and Deltana's G1RLE275 and G1RLP275 are Deltana Grade 1 regular latches in entry and passage/privacy functions. Those suit doors running a Dexter or Deltana lock, not an ND chassis, so keep the 13-048 for ND openings and use the brand-matched latch on the others.

Look at the Dexter deadlatch built for the C1000 Series, which is a deadlatching latch rather than a plain spring latch. It is matched to Dexter C1000 locks, so it is the right answer when the door is running that chassis, not when you are rebuilding a Schlage lock. The 13-048 remains the certified Schlage replacement part for ND Series locks, so on an ND door the choice is the 13-048 in the function the lock was built around.

Deltana's 2-3/8 inch backset regular latches cover that prep. The G1RLE238 is a Grade 1 regular latch in an entry function, and the G1RLP238 is the Grade 1 passage/privacy version at the same 2-3/8 inch backset, so you pick by what the door has to do rather than by re-boring the edge. If some of the fleet is on Schlage ND locks, those doors take the 13-048 ND Series spring latch instead.

The Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, and it lists a 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. It is a complete lock, so it changes the door over to pushbutton entry rather than servicing what is there. The 13-048 is a replacement latch for ND Series locks, which is the route when the ND lock stays in the door and only the latch needs renewing.

No. The 13-048 comes in 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome, so the exposed faceplate can be matched to the lever trim already on each door. The Deltana regular latches and the Dexter C1000 deadlatch belong to those brands' own lock families, so switching brands to chase a finish would mean changing the lock, not just the latch.
