Schlage L283060 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Schlage L283-060 spindles do I need for one L Series mortise lock?
Two per lock. The L283-060 spindle and spring is sold as a single piece, so a complete lever or knob replacement on one L Series mortise lock takes a quantity of two.
2) What door thickness does the Schlage L283-060 spindle cover?
Doors from 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches. That range covers the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door as well as thinner 1-3/8 inch openings, so on a typical hollow metal or solid core commercial door this is the right spindle length. Thicker doors take a different spindle.
3) Will the L283-060 spindle fit a Schlage ND or B Series lock?
No. The L283-060 is an L Series part, and the L Series is Schlage's mortise lock line. ND Series cylindrical locks and B Series deadbolts use their own spindles and are not interchangeable with it. Confirm the lock body is stamped L before ordering.
4) My L Series lever is loose and droops, do I need a whole new lock?
Usually not. A drooping or sloppy lever on an L Series mortise lock is normally the spindle and its return spring wearing out, not the lock body. The L283-060 spindle and spring replaces that assembly, and you would order two to do both sides of the door. The mortise case, trim and cylinder stay in place.
5) What is the Schlage part number for the L Series spindle and spring for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors?
L283-060. That is Schlage's own part number for the L Series spindle and spring covering doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches thick, and it is the number to quote when matching an existing mortise lock.
6) Is the Schlage L283-060 a commercial-grade part or a residential one?
Commercial. It is a replacement part for Schlage's commercial L Series mortise locks, the kind used in schools, hospitals, offices and multi-family corridors, not a residential lockset component.
7) Does the finish of the L283-060 spindle matter when ordering Schlage L Series parts?
For the spindle itself the finish is internal to the lock, but many Schlage L Series replacement parts are finish specific, so any trim, rose or lever you order alongside it has to match the finish already on the door. Get the finish code off the existing trim before you order the visible pieces.
