Schlage Commercial G506-815 - Latch Housing Sleeve

No. The G506-815 sleeve is specified for the A Series only. Deadbolts and mortise locks use entirely different latch and case hardware, so the sleeve will not carry over. Match the part to an A Series cylindrical knob lock, and if the lock on the door is a different Schlage family, order the service part for that family instead.

The G506-815 covers only the housing sleeve on a Schlage A Series lock. If the latchbolt itself is worn, sticking, or the deadlatch plunger has failed, a sleeve will not fix it, and you want a complete latch instead. ZenSupply carries full replacement latches such as the Dexter Grade 1 deadlatch for the C1000 Series and the Deltana G1RLE Grade 1 entry latches in 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets.

No. The Schlage G506-815 is a latch housing sleeve, a replacement part that fits Schlage A Series locks, so it is ordered when the sleeve itself is damaged and the rest of the latch is sound. The Deltana G1RLE238 is a complete Grade 1 regular latch with an entry function and a 2-3/8 inch backset. If the latch bolt, case, and faceplate are worn and the whole latch is coming out of the door, the complete latch is the part to order; if only the sleeve is being replaced on an A Series lock, the sleeve is.

Deltana offers the same Grade 1 regular latch in both backsets: the G1RLE275 is the entry function at a 2-3/4 inch backset and the G1RLE238 is the entry function at 2-3/8 inch. For a passage or privacy opening the equivalents are the G1RLP275 at 2-3/4 inch and the G1RLP238 at 2-3/8 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before ordering, since the two backsets are not interchangeable in the same prep.

Use the Accentra YSSL10 security sidelite auxiliary latch, which is built for a sidelite panel, is fire rated, and carries an ADA compliant thumbturn. It is sized for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage G506-815 latch housing sleeve is a replacement part for Schlage A Series locks and does not address a sidelite opening on its own.

It is a certified Schlage part, not a generic substitute. For a property manager keeping A Series hardware standardized across a building, that matters: the sleeve is made to the same dimensions as the one that shipped in the lock, so the latch seats in the existing door prep without rework.

Schlage notes that many of its service parts are finish specific, and the sleeve is one of them. Order it in the finish that matches the lock you are servicing rather than assuming any sleeve fits any A Series lock. On a job where several openings are being repaired at once, confirm the finish on each lock before placing a single combined order.

The Schlage G506-815 is a sleeve for A Series locks and carries no backset of its own, so it is the wrong part if you are replacing the latch. For a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Deltana G1RLE275 is a Grade 1 entry latch and the Deltana G1RLP275 is the Grade 1 passage/privacy version. Both also come in 2-3/8 inch backset as the G1RLE238 and G1RLP238. Pick by function: entry for a keyed opening, passage/privacy for a non-keyed one.

No. The sleeve is a single service component for an A Series lock. It does not include the latchbolt, the strike, screws, or the lock chassis. Plan the repair around what actually failed, and order the additional A Series service parts separately if more than the sleeve is damaged.

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 to 2 inches thick. Because the backset adjusts, it covers both common bore layouts without ordering a backset-specific part. That is a full lock change rather than a repair; the Schlage G506-815 latch housing sleeve keeps an existing Schlage A Series lock in service.

No. The Dexter deadlatch is built for the Dexter C1000 series and is a deadlatch assembly in its own right, not a housing sleeve. The Schlage G506-815 is a commercial latch housing sleeve made to fit Schlage A Series locks, and Schlage parts of this kind are often finish specific, so the part is selected to the lock it is going into rather than cross-fitted from another series.

Schlage classes the G506-815 as commercial, and it is made for the A Series commercial lockset. That is the line used in offices, schools, and multifamily corridors, so the sleeve is a service part for high-traffic openings rather than a residential-grade piece.
