Schlage Commercial A501-567 - Latch Sleeve, 3-1/2" for use with Extension Links

Yes. The A501-567 is a 3-1/2 inch latch sleeve for Schlage A Series locks, and it is used together with extension links rather than on its own. It is a Schlage commercial part, so it belongs on A Series commercial locksets. If you are ordering it, have the extension links sorted at the same time, since the sleeve is meant to go in with them.

Just one piece. The A501-567 is the sleeve, 3-1/2 inches, supplied as a replacement part and intended for use with extension links. It is not a latch assembly with a backset, faceplate and strike in the box. If the latch itself is what failed on the door, order a complete latch unit for the A Series lockset instead of this sleeve.

Compatibility is A Series. The A501-567 sleeve is built for that line, so before you order a run of them for multiple doors, check what is actually on each opening. Doors carrying a different Schlage lock line need the part specific to that line, not this sleeve. The sleeve measures 3-1/2 inches and pairs with extension links, so those two things together are what you are matching to.

No, they are not the same kind of part. The Deltana G1RLE238 Grade 1 entry latch with a 2-3/8 inch backset, its 2-3/4 inch backset counterpart the G1RLE275, and the Dexter Grade 1 deadlatch for the C1000 Series are all complete latch assemblies for their own locksets. The A501-567 is a Schlage sleeve that works with extension links on A Series locks. One is a whole latch, the other is a component inside a Schlage assembly, so there is no crossover between them.

It does not. A sidelite panel takes a latch built for it: the Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and carrying a fire rating, which is what an institutional or storefront opening usually has to satisfy. The Schlage A501-567 is a 3-1/2 inch sleeve used with extension links on A Series locks, so it is a component of a Schlage latch installation rather than anything that serves a sidelite.

Treat it as finish specific. Many Schlage parts of this kind are supplied per finish, so pull the finish off the A Series lockset already on the door and order the sleeve to match rather than assuming one version covers every door in the building. On a mixed run of openings that means recording the finish opening by opening before the order goes in.

Genuine. The A501-567 latch sleeve is a certified Schlage part, sold as a replacement part for A Series commercial locks. That matters if you are maintaining a standardized Schlage program across a facility: it is the manufacturer's own component going back into the lockset, not a generic equivalent that may or may not sit correctly with the extension links.

By what arrives in the box. The A501-567 is a 3-1/2 inch latch sleeve for use with extension links, a Schlage commercial replacement part for A Series - it is the sleeve that goes with the extension link setup. A part number like the Deltana G1RLP238 is the latch itself, a Grade 1 regular latch for passage/privacy at a 2-3/8 inch backset, which carries its own backset and function to match to the door prep. Sleeve length and A Series fit are what pin down the Schlage part; grade, function, and backset are what pin down the Deltana one.

Function. The G1RLP275 is a Grade 1 regular latch for passage/privacy, and the G1RLE275 is a Grade 1 regular latch with an entry function. Both are cut for a 2-3/4 inch backset, so the door prep is the same and the decision comes down to how the opening needs to operate. The same split exists at the shorter backset: the G1RLP238 is the Grade 1 passage/privacy latch at 2-3/8 inch and the G1RLE238 is the Grade 1 entry latch at 2-3/8 inch.

No. The Schlage A501-567 is a 3-1/2 inch latch sleeve for A Series, used with extension links, so it belongs on the Schlage openings. For the Dexter doors, the part built to that lock is the Dexter deadlatch made for the C1000 series. Keeping each brand's latch parts on its own openings avoids a return, since sleeves and latches are matched to the lock line they were designed around.

The Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination deadlocking spring latch lock with an adjustable backset, listed for doors 1-1/8 to 2 inch thick. It changes the opening over at the lock, so it is a full replacement decision rather than a parts repair. The Schlage A501-567 goes the other direction - it is a 3-1/2 inch latch sleeve used with extension links, a commercial replacement part that keeps the existing A Series hardware in service.
