Schlage 47273614 ALX Series Spring Latch, 2-3/4" Backset, 1-1/8" x 2-1/4" Square Corner

Two Deltana peers cover the 2-3/8 inch bore. The G1RLE238 is a Grade 1 regular latch in entry function at a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the G1RLP238 is the Grade 1 regular latch in passage/privacy function at the same 2-3/8 inch backset. Pick by what the door does: entry for a door that locks from outside, passage/privacy for an office or restroom door. The Schlage 47273614 is the 2-3/4 inch backset ALX springlatch, so on a fleet where some doors are bored 2-3/8 and some 2-3/4, the backset has to be measured door by door before the order goes in rather than assumed to be uniform.

The faceplate on the 47273614 measures 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches with square corners, so it seats in a square routed pocket cut to those dimensions. A door prepped with a radius corner pocket, the rounded profile a router template leaves, will not take a square plate without squaring the corners with a chisel. Take the old latch out and lay it against the new one; plate size and corner profile both have to match.

It is a restoring spring latch, spring returned and retracted by the lever, with no auxiliary deadlocking plunger riding beside the latchbolt. That is the correct part for interior corridor, office and passage openings. On an exterior door where loiding is a concern, you want a deadlatch instead, where a separate plunger blocks the bolt from being pushed back once the door is closed. Dexter builds that style of part for its C1000 series locks. Do not swap one for the other on a secured opening.

This is the ALX Series replacement latch, and it drives off a square cam against ALX lock trim. When you are rebuilding an ALX lever lock, three things have to match what came out: the square cam, the 2-3/4 inch backset, and the 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate. Get any one of those wrong and the latch either will not reach the chassis or will not seat in the door edge.

No. Latches are matched to the chassis that drives them, and the 47273614 is built for the ALX Series with a square cam. Another brand's lock takes that brand's latch. Deltana, for instance, sells its own Grade 1 regular latches in 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, split by function: G1RLE275 for entry and G1RLP275 for passage/privacy at 2-3/4 inch. Identify the lock brand and series off the chassis or the lever, then buy that brand's latch in your backset.

No. The 47273614 is specified by backset, faceplate and cam rather than by lock function, and the only choice you make when ordering is finish. The function lives in the ALX chassis, not the latch. Worth knowing this does not carry across brands: Deltana splits its Grade 1 regular latch into separate part numbers for entry (G1RLE275) and passage/privacy (G1RLP275) at the same 2-3/4 inch backset.

Once the door is shut, the faceplate in the door edge is the only part of the latch anyone sees, so match its finish code to the lever trim on the opening. The ALX spring latch comes in nine: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze. On a building standardized in 626, order 626 and the edge disappears into the rest of the hardware.

Commercial. The 47273614 is a stainless steel spring latch for the ALX Series, which is a commercial lever line, so it holds up to the cycle counts a stairwell, corridor or tenant entry door sees. Stainless also matters on exterior facing openings and in coastal or wash down areas where a plated steel latch corrodes in the door edge where nobody sees it until the lever stops returning.

They secure different parts of the opening. The Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, fire rated, and built for 1-3/4 inch doors. It is specified for the fixed sidelite panel beside a glass front entrance, operated by the thumbturn rather than by a lever. The Schlage 47273614 is a restoring springlatch that goes in the door leaf itself, ordered as an ALX series replacement part matched to ALX lock trim at a 2-3/4 inch backset. A glass front installer working an entrance with a sidelite may need both parts on the same opening, not one instead of the other.

The Deltana G1RLE275 is the nearest peer on backset: it is a Grade 1 regular latch in entry function at a 2-3/4 inch backset, the same backset the Schlage 47273614 restoring spring latch is cut for. The difference is what each one belongs to. The 47273614 is an ALX series replacement springlatch that pairs with ALX lock trim, with a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate and a square cam, so it is ordered to match an existing ALX chassis. The Deltana G1RLE275 is supplied as a Grade 1 entry latch in the Deltana line. A locksmith replacing the latch inside an ALX lever orders the ALX part; a G1RLE275 is the choice when the trim is Deltana.

No, they are two different classes of product and one does not stand in for the other. The Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination deadlocking spring latch lock with an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. It is an entire lock, with its own combination entry and its own latch, so specifying it means replacing the lockset on the door. The Schlage 47273614 is a restoring springlatch sold as a replacement part for ALX lock trim, at a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate. Order the 47273614 when the ALX lever stays on the door and only the latch is being renewed; the M230 belongs to a project where the door is being converted to keyless combination entry.

Neither swap is a substitution. Both are latches built to a specific lock series. The Dexter part is a deadlatch made for the C1000 series, and the Schlage 47273614 is an ALX series springlatch with a square cam and a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate that pairs with ALX lock trim. The cam is what drives the latch from the lever, so a latch cut for one chassis is not a spare for another even where the backset and faceplate size happen to line up. Identify the lockset on the door first, then order the latch that belongs to it: the ALX part for a Schlage ALX lever, the C1000 deadlatch for a Dexter C1000.

The Schlage 47273614 is a restoring springlatch in stainless steel, meaning the bolt is spring returned and retracts by the ALX lever it pairs with. Two peers carry deadlocking bolts instead: the Dexter deadlatch for the C1000 series, and the Lockey M230, described as a deadlocking spring latch lock with adjustable backset for doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. Deadlocking latches add a mechanism that resists the bolt being pushed back once the door is closed, which is why they turn up on exterior and entry openings. On an interior commercial door running an ALX lever, the 47273614 is the like-for-like renewal and comes in nine finishes including 626 satin chrome, 613 oil rubbed bronze, and 622 matte black so it can be matched to the trim already on the doors.
