Schlage L283-008 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Schlage mortise locks does the L283-008 latchbolt fit?
It fits the Schlage L Series commercial mortise lock family, with the single exception of the L9076. That covers the range of L Series lock bodies and functions, so it is the latchbolt used when rebuilding most L Series cases.
2) Does installing the L283-008 require any modification to the lock case or door?
No door work at all. This is a lock-case component: the latchbolt assembly drops into a compatible L Series mortise body with no modification, so the existing mortise pocket, strike and trim stay as they are. The door only has to come off the hinges or the lock pulled from the pocket to get at the case.
3) Is the L283-008 a genuine Schlage part or an aftermarket latchbolt?
Genuine Schlage OEM. The L283-008 is Schlage's own replacement latchbolt assembly for L Series mortise locks, so the rebuilt lock keeps the original manufacturer's fit and function rather than relying on a copy.
4) My mortise lock latch is sticking and won't throw fully. Is replacing the latchbolt assembly the fix?
If the lock body itself is otherwise sound, yes. The L283-008 is a complete latchbolt mounting assembly, so it restores proper latch operation on a worn L Series lock instead of forcing you to replace the whole mortise case. Facility maintenance teams and locksmiths use it exactly that way to keep an opening in service.
5) Do I need to worry about handing when ordering the L283-008 latchbolt?
The latchbolt in a Schlage L Series mortise lock is field reversible within the case, so the assembly is ordered as the one part number, L283-008, rather than as a left or right hand version. Set the bolt for your door's swing when you reassemble the case.
6) Does the L283-008 come with a lock body, faceplate or strike?
No. It is the latchbolt assembly only, a replacement component for an existing L Series mortise case. Faceplate, strike, cylinder and trim are separate. If your lock case is damaged rather than just worn at the latch, you are looking at a complete L Series mortise lock instead of this part.
7) Is the L283-008 latchbolt rated for high-traffic commercial openings or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The part is built to Schlage's commercial hardware standards and is used in office buildings, schools, hospitals, government facilities, hotels, multi-tenant residential and industrial properties, which is the traffic level L Series mortise locks are put into.
