Schlage Commercial 12-290 - B500 Series Deadbolt Adjustable 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" Backset, Circular Drive-In, 1" Diameter

Yes, and it works at 2-3/8 as well. The 12-290 is an adjustable-backset bolt, so the same part covers both of the standard bores instead of you having to identify which one the door was drilled for before you order. Set it to the backset on the door, then drive it in. In a building where some openings were bored at 2-3/8 and others at 2-3/4, that means one part number on the shelf rather than two.

No mortising. The 12-290 is a circular drive-in bolt, 1 inch in diameter, so it seats straight into a 1 inch edge bore and the collar finishes flush against the edge. That matters both ways: if the door edge is currently cut for a rectangular faceplate bolt with screw holes, this drive-in version is not a like-for-like swap into that prep, and you would want the faceplate style instead.

The 12-290 is the service bolt for Schlage S200 and B500 Series deadbolts. It is a genuine Schlage replacement part rather than a universal aftermarket bolt, so identify the deadbolt on the door first. If the lock is from a different Schlage line, the 12-290 is not the part for it, and swapping a bolt across series is where these repairs usually go wrong.

It does, because the collar of a drive-in bolt sits on the door edge and is visible every time the door swings open. The 12-290 is supplied in 626 satin chrome, and Schlage service parts are finish specific, so a 626 collar next to 626 deadbolt trim reads as one assembly while a mismatch is obvious on inspection. On a corridor of doors that were all specified in satin chrome, order to match.

Stainless steel construction, and it comes off Schlage's commercial side rather than the residential program, which is what you want on a door cycling all day. It is the S200 and B500 Series bolt, so the repair keeps the opening on the same commercial hardware it was specified with instead of dropping a builder-grade bolt into a commercial deadbolt.

Different part, so no. The 12-290 is a deadbolt bolt, which throws a solid bolt by key or thumbturn and has no spring action or latch face at all. Deltana's regular latches are what goes under a knob or lever: the G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Grade 1 entry latches, and the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are the passage and privacy versions. Each of those is a fixed backset, one for 2-3/8 and one for 2-3/4, so you order to the bore instead of adjusting on site.

No. Replacement bolts are brand and series specific, and the 12-290 is built for Schlage S200 and B500. For Dexter hardware, Dexter's own deadlatch for the C1000 Series is the matching service part. Work out the brand and series stamped on the lock before ordering any bolt, because a bolt that is close on dimensions but wrong on series will not tail into the lock correctly.

The 12-290 only replaces the bolt inside a Schlage S200 or B500 deadbolt that is otherwise sound. If the lock body itself is failing, replace the lock. One route that avoids keys entirely is the Lockey M230, a mechanical keyless combination deadlocking spring latch lock with an adjustable backset, which covers door thicknesses from 1-1/8 to 2 inches. That is a complete lock, not a service part.

The 12-290 is a bolt that goes into a deadbolt already mounted on the door, not a lock you can install on its own, so it will not secure a bare sidelite. For that opening the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch is the purpose-built option: it has an ADA compliant thumbturn, it is fire rated, and it is for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Schlage 12-290 adjusts to either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so one part number covers both openings, and it is a 1 inch diameter circular drive-in body. The Lockey M230 also carries an adjustable backset, but it is a mechanical keyless digital combination deadlocking spring latch lock, meaning you are buying a complete keyless lock rather than a replacement latch. Deltana's regular latches go the other way and are ordered by backset: G1RLE238 is the 2-3/8 inch entry latch and G1RLE275 is the 2-3/4 inch entry latch, so those openings take two separate part numbers.

Yes, and the split is by what the latch drives. For the deadbolt openings, the Schlage 12-290 is the replacement latch for B500 and S200 series deadbolts, stainless steel and adjustable to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so one number covers both backsets. For the knob and lever openings, the Deltana regular latches split by function and backset: G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Grade 1 entry latches at 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, and G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are the Grade 1 passage/privacy versions at the same two backsets. Count the openings by lock family first, then by function, then by backset, and the part list falls out of that.

The Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, it carries a fire rating, and it lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so it is the piece aimed at the sidelite panel itself. The Schlage 12-290 works the active leaf instead: it is a replacement latch for B500 and S200 series deadbolts, adjustable to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. On a glass front entry with a sidelite you are typically specifying both kinds of part, not choosing between them.

The Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, and it fits doors from 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, so the entry code takes the place of a key at that door. The Schlage 12-290 is the other approach: it is a replacement latch that keeps the existing B500 or S200 deadbolt in service, adjusting to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch diameter circular drive-in body. Which one fits depends on whether you are keeping the lock on the door or changing how it is operated.

Both are Grade 1 regular latches at a 2-3/8 inch backset. The difference is function: the G1RLE238 is listed as Entry and the G1RLP238 as Passage/Privacy. Each has a 2-3/4 inch counterpart, the G1RLE275 for entry and the G1RLP275 for passage/privacy, carrying the same Grade 1 and the same function split. The Schlage 12-290 sits outside that entry versus passage split entirely, since it is the deadbolt latch for the B500 and S200 series and adjusts to either backset on its own.

They are built for different lock families. The Dexter deadlatch is made for the C1000 series, while the Schlage 12-290 is a certified Schlage part for the B500 and S200 series, stainless steel, adjusting to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch diameter circular drive-in body. Latches of this type follow the lockset they were designed for, so match the part to the lock family on the door and confirm the bore diameter and backset before swapping either one in.
