Schlage 47273616 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which backsets does the Schlage 47273616 spring latch come in?
Two: 2-3/4 inch and 2-3/8 inch. The 2-3/4 inch backset is the usual commercial bore spacing and is offered across the full finish range; the 2-3/8 inch version is offered in 619 satin nickel. Measure from the door edge to the center of the cross bore and order to match, because a latch of the wrong backset will not reach the spindle hub.
2) Will the Schlage 47273616 latch fit my existing door prep?
The faceplate is 2-1/4 x 1 inch with round corners, so it drops into a standard round corner mortise in the door edge. If your current faceplate has square corners, this one will leave a gap at the corners unless you re-chisel. The latch housing suits a 7/8 inch or 1 inch bore diameter in the door edge.
3) Does this Schlage latch work on locksets other than the ALX Series?
It's built for the Schlage ALX Series cylindrical locksets and matched to that prep. Use it to restore an ALX lock, not as a generic tubular latch swap on another line.
4) Is the Kwikset 84290 plain latch a substitute for the Schlage 47273616 spring latch?
No. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset, while the Schlage 47273616 uses a 2-1/4 inch by 1 inch round corner faceplate and is engineered specifically for Schlage ALX Series locksets. If the door is prepped for a round corner faceplate and the lockset is an ALX, the 47273616 is the matching part; the 84290 belongs in a square-corner prep on Kwikset cylindrical locks.
5) I need a latch for a residential door with an adjustable backset instead of a fixed one. What are the options besides the Schlage 47273616 ALX latch?
The Schlage 47273616 is supplied in a fixed backset per part, offered in 2-3/4 inch and 2-3/8 inch, and is intended for commercial Schlage ALX Series locksets. For a drive-in latch with an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch on a residential door, the Deltana DLP23875 covers passage and privacy functions and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Deltana DLE23875 is the entry-function version for the same door thickness range.
6) I need a latch with a fire rating for a labeled opening. Does the Schlage 47273616 work, or is there another latch to look at?
The Schlage 47273616 is an unguarded spring latch built for commercial Schlage ALX Series locksets in high-use openings. If your specification calls out a UL 3 hour latch, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is listed UL 3 hour for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL locksets, and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch is also a UL 3 hour part. Those are Kwikset-keyed parts, so confirm the lockset on the door before ordering.
7) What is an unguarded spring latch, and when do I need a guarded one instead?
Unguarded means the latchbolt has no deadlatch plunger alongside it, so it simply springs out and retracts. That's fine on interior openings and on doors where security is handled by a separate deadbolt. On an exterior or unsupervised opening where someone could shim or card the bolt, you want the deadlatch (guarded) version rather than this one.
8) Can I get this Schlage latch in a finish that matches the rest of my building's hardware?
Nine finishes on the 2-3/4 inch backset: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. The 2-3/8 inch backset is offered in 619 satin nickel. Only the faceplate shows once installed, so match it to the lock trim on the door.
9) My latch prep has square corners. What should I order?
The 47273616 is a round corner faceplate, so it won't sit flush in a square corner mortise. For square corner preps on residential tubular hardware, Kwikset's 84290 square corner plainlatch comes in 2-3/8 inch backset, and Emtek's 83228 is a square corner faceplate and screw set for tubular pocket door privacy latches. Neither replaces an ALX latch; if the door is an ALX opening, re-cut the mortise to round corners instead.
10) Do I need to worry about handing when ordering this spring latch?
No. A cylindrical spring latch of this type is non-handed in use; the latchbolt is reversible so the bevel can face either way. What you do have to get right is the backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch) and the faceplate shape.
11) Is the 47273616 suitable for high traffic doors in a school or hospital?
It's a commercial-grade part for the ALX line, and the typical applications named include educational facilities, healthcare institutions, offices, retail, industrial buildings, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. For standardizing a facility, note the two backsets so you order the right one per opening.
12) Is the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH an alternative to the Schlage 47273616?
No. The Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series, a powered deadbolt component rather than a lockset spring latch. The Schlage 47273616 is a mechanical unguarded spring latch that restores latching on Schlage ALX Series cylindrical locksets. They serve different functions and are not interchangeable.
