Schlage 39-030 - A Series Rabbeted Latch and Strike Kit

Rabbeted doors have a stepped edge instead of a square one, so on a pair the two leaves overlap where they meet and there is no straight gap through the middle. The 39-030 is the A Series latch and strike cut for that stepped edge. Look at the edge of the leaf before you order: if it is machined with a step, this is the kit you want. A square edge takes a standard latch instead, since a rabbeted latch and strike are shaped to land on the rabbet.

Both pieces come together. The 39-030 is sold as a rabbeted latch and strike kit under one number, so the strike that mates with the rabbeted latch is in the box. One line on the order finishes the opening.

That is exactly what the 39-030 is for. It is a replacement part that works with A Series lock trim, so the knob or lever trim and the cylinder stay on the door and only the latch and strike change out. It is not a complete lockset, so if the trim itself is worn or damaged that gets ordered on its own.

Beveled and flat edges are both covered by the same part. A Series latches adjust to suit either edge prep, so you are not chasing a second part number when one leaf is beveled and another is flat. Set the adjustment to match the door in front of you at install.

Two finishes are made: 626 satin chrome and 605 bright brass. Those are BHMA finish codes, not marketing names, so match the number specified for the trim already hanging on the opening rather than judging by eye. If a building runs 626 across its levers and closers, order the latch kit in 626 and it lines up with the rest.

Stainless steel is the substrate on the latch, and the part is specified for commercial rather than residential service. On a rabbeted pair in a corridor or a stairwell that is the piece taking strike contact on every cycle, which is why the material matters more here than on the trim side.

Split them by the opening. The Deltana regular latches are ordered by backset and function: G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Grade 1 with an entry function at 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, and G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are Grade 1 with a passage/privacy function at the same two backsets, which gives a four-part matrix for stocking. The Schlage 39-030 covers the rabbeted A Series openings in the portfolio - a commercial stainless steel latch and strike kit that adjusts for flat or beveled edge doors and works with lock trim, ordered in 626 satin chrome or 605 bright brass to match the trim finish already in the buildings.

Different part for that job. A rabbeted A Series latch goes in the door leaf itself, not the sidelite. For the sidelite, the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch is the piece, with an ADA compliant thumbturn, sized for 1-3/4 inch thickness and fire rated, which is what an institutional spec usually calls for on that opening.

The 39-030 changes nothing about how the door is operated, since it is the latch and strike behind an existing A Series lock. To go keyless, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, covering doors from 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. It is mechanical, so there is no power to run to the door and no battery to service on a schedule.

Ask for model 39-030 and name the finish, 626 or 605. That single number covers the A Series rabbeted latch together with its matching strike, and it is a certified Schlage part rather than an aftermarket copy, so the latch face and strike land in the prep the A Series lock was machined for.

They are built for different edge conditions. The Deltana G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Grade 1 regular latches with an entry function, sized at 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, so they are specified by backset and function. The Schlage 39-030 is a rabbeted latch and strike kit for A Series locks and is compatible with lock trim, so the latch and the matching strike come together for the rabbeted opening and work with the A Series trim already on the door. Confirm the edge condition first: a rabbeted meeting edge is what the 39-030 is cut for.

Those two solve different problems. The Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination deadlocking spring latch lock with an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick - it is a complete lock, so fitting it changes how the door is operated and what goes on the face of the door. The Schlage 39-030 is a stainless steel rabbeted latch and strike kit sold as a replacement part, so the A Series lock trim stays where it is and only the latch and strike change. Pick the M230 when the goal is combination entry on that opening; pick the 39-030 when the trim is staying and the latch is what has worn out.

No - each one is matched to its own lock family. The Dexter deadlatch is built for the C1000 series, and the Schlage 39-030 is a rabbeted latch and strike kit for A Series locks, compatible with lock trim. Latch replacements follow the lock already hanging in the door, so identify the family first: a C1000 lock takes the Dexter deadlatch, and an A Series lock on a rabbeted edge takes the 39-030.

The sidelite takes a purpose-built auxiliary latch rather than a lock latch. The Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and fire rated, which is what secures the fixed panel and keeps the thumbturn operable for accessibility. The Schlage 39-030 is a commercial rabbeted latch and strike kit that works with the A Series lock trim on the leaf that actually opens. On a two-panel entrance, that usually means the YSSL10 on the sidelite and the 39-030 on the active leaf.
