Schlage 47273624 2-3/8" Backset Deadlatch for ALX Series (1" x 2-1/4")

It does. The ALX Series latch has a 1 inch housing diameter and is built to drop into either a 1 inch or a 7/8 inch door prep, so you don't need to redrill an older 7/8 inch bore.

The ALX latch throws 1/2 inch, which is the standard cylindrical latch projection, so it lands in a normal ANSI strike or a standard T-strike without changing the frame prep. The faceplate is a 1 x 2-1/4 inch square corner, so if your current faceplate is radius corner you'll be looking at a mortise that doesn't match the outline.

A deadlatch carries a small auxiliary plunger alongside the main latchbolt. When the door closes, the plunger rides the strike and deadlocks the latchbolt so it can't be shimmed or carded back. A plain spring latch has no plunger. On an exterior or corridor opening you want the deadlatch; inside a suite where nobody can reach the latch edge, a spring latch is enough. The 47273624 is the deadlatch version.

It's specified for ALX Series privacy and passage functions, and the lock function is restoring, meaning the latch returns to center after the lever is released. If you're rebuilding an ALX entry or storeroom lock, that's a different latch part, not this one.

This latch is an ALX Series replacement part and it's cut for Schlage's square cam, so it won't drive another manufacturer's chassis. For a Dexter C1000 Series lock, the Dexter C1000 deadlatch is the matching part. If the lock body is being replaced anyway, the Deltana G1RLP238 (passage/privacy) and G1RLE238 (entry) are Grade 1 latches at the same 2-3/8 inch backset.

They cover the same opening but not the same lock. Both are 2-3/8 inch backset latches for passage and privacy service - the Deltana G1RLP238 is a Grade 1 regular latch in Passage/Privacy function at that backset. The difference is fit: the Schlage 47273624 is built for Schlage ALX Series trim, with a 1 inch housing, 1/2 inch throw, and a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate, and it is finished to match the ALX lock trim. If you are servicing an existing ALX lever, order the Schlage latch; the Deltana is the choice when you are working with Deltana trim.

The 47273624 is a stainless steel deadlatch that services Schlage ALX Series privacy and passage locks on flat or beveled edge doors. A sidelite is a different opening: the Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch thick doors, and it comes with an ADA compliant thumbturn. Use the YSSL10 on the sidelite panel and keep the 47273624 for the ALX lever on the main door.

Yes. ALX Series latches adjust for flat or beveled edge doors, so the same part covers a square-edge slab and a beveled stile without ordering a separate version.

Ten finishes are stocked: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. ALX latches are finished to match the lock trim, so order the latch in the same BHMA number as the lever you already have on the door and the faceplate will read as one assembly.

A cylindrical deadlatch like the ALX 47273624 protects against latch carding, but it does nothing about reach-through at a glass sidelite. For that opening the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn is the purpose-built part, and it's listed for 1-3/4 inch doors with a fire rating. Glass front installers usually end up with both: the deadlatch in the lock and a separate sidelite latch.

No. Both are deadlatches, but each is cut for its own lock family - the Dexter part is the deadlatch for the Dexter C1000 Series and carries a Grade 2 rating, while the Schlage 47273624 is a deadlatch built for Schlage ALX Series trim with a 1 inch housing and 1/2 inch throw. Match the latch to the lockset already in the door rather than to the word deadlatch.

No. The Lockey M230 is a complete mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, so it replaces the entire lockset and its door prep. The Schlage 47273624 is a replacement latch only, sized 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate with a 1 inch housing, and it goes into an existing Schlage ALX privacy or passage lock. Choose the M230 when you are changing how the door is operated; choose the 47273624 when the ALX trim stays and only the latch is being renewed.

Stainless steel construction, and it's classed as commercial hardware. That is the part property managers and MRO buyers care about when the same latch is going into a corridor or a stairwell door that cycles all day rather than a bedroom door.

What ships is the latch unit itself: the 1 inch housing and the 1 x 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate. It's sold as a replacement part for an ALX lock you already have, so if the frame strike is damaged or the wrong outline, order that separately.
