Schlage L283-065 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly does the Schlage L283-065 include, and which lock does it fit?
The L283-065 is a matched spindle and return spring set for the Schlage L0170 mortise lock. You get both pieces together, so lever or knob actuation and spring return are restored in one repair. It is made for the L0170 specifically, not a universal spindle.
2) My Schlage lever flops and won't return to horizontal. Is the spindle and spring kit the right fix?
On an L0170 mortise lock, a lever that hangs down instead of springing back is the classic worn spindle or broken return spring. The L283-065 replaces both as a set and restores lever actuation and spring return, so yes, that is the part to order for that symptom on an L0170.
3) Do I have to replace the whole mortise lock body, or can I just swap the spindle?
If the lock body still throws the latch and the only fault is lever return or spindle engagement, you replace the part, not the lock. The L283-065 is built to original factory dimensions and tolerances and drops in using the existing mounting points, so the lock case, trim and door prep stay as they are.
4) Is the Corbin Russwin swivel spindle pin and set screw a substitute for the Schlage L283-065 spindle and spring?
No. The Schlage L283-065 is a spindle and spring assembly made specifically for the Schlage L0170 mortise lock series, and it is intended as a drop-in match to the original factory part in that lock. The Corbin Russwin swivel spindle pin x set screw is a different part built around a swivel spindle pin with a set screw, listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. They are not interchangeable across lock lines; order the L283-065 when the chassis being serviced is a Schlage L0170.
5) Is this Schlage spindle a genuine OEM part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Schlage. The L283-065 comes from Schlage's own parts program and is made to the original factory specification, so the fit, form and function match the part that shipped in the lock.
6) Is the L283-065 rated for high-traffic commercial doors like schools and hospitals?
It is a commercial-grade component, built to the same standards as Schlage's commercial mechanical lock line, and it is used in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, multi-tenant residential, warehouses and retail. Not a light-duty residential part.
7) What spindle part should I order for a 1-3/4 inch Corbin Russwin mortise door instead of the Schlage L283-065?
For a Corbin Russwin mortise lock on a 1-3/4 inch door, use the Corbin Russwin swivel spindle pin x set screw, which is listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Schlage L283-065 is a Schlage replacement part matched to the L0170 mortise lock series and is not meant to be fitted into another manufacturer's mortise case.
8) Do I need to buy the spindle and the spring separately when repairing an L0170 lever?
No. The Schlage L283-065 ships the spindle and the return spring together as a matched set, so one order restores both lever actuation and spring return. Some competing spindle parts are sold as a pin with a set screw rather than a spring assembly, such as the Corbin Russwin swivel spindle pin x set screw, which is a hardware-only kit.
9) Do I need to re-key or re-prep the door after installing this spindle kit?
No. Swapping the spindle and spring is internal to the lock and trim. Keying, cylinder, strike and door prep are untouched, since the replacement matches original factory dimensions and uses the existing mounting points.
