Schlage 14-047 626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) I need a replacement latch for a Schlage ND Series lock. How do I know which part number to order?
Two measurements decide it: backset and faceplate size. Backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lever bore. At a 2-3/8 inch backset you want the 14-047 or the 14-048. At 2-3/4 inches, the 13-247. At 3-3/4 inches, the 14-028. Then check the faceplate mortised into the door edge: 13-247, 14-028 and 14-047 all use a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate, while the 14-048 uses a 1 x 2-1/4 inch square corner plate. Pull the old latch and measure the plate before you order, because a wrong faceplate means recutting the door edge even when the backset is right.
2) What is the difference between the Schlage 14-047 and 14-048 dead latch? Both say 2-3/8 inch backset.
Faceplate height is the only difference. Both are square corner latches at a 2-3/8 inch backset for Schlage ND Series locksets, but the 14-047 carries a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate and the 14-048 a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate. Measure the plate already mortised into the door edge and match it. Drop a 1-1/8 inch plate into a pocket cut for a 1 inch plate and it will not seat; go the other way and you are left with a visible gap in the mortise.
3) Do I have to replace the whole Schlage ND lockset if the latch failed, or can I just change the latch?
Just the latch. The ND Series dead latch is a certified Schlage replacement part built to the same commercial tolerances as the original, so it is a direct fit with no door modification and it works with the existing ND Series lock trim. Your levers, roses and cylinder stay in the door and stay keyed the way they are. Match the backset and faceplate of the latch you are pulling out (13-247, 14-028, 14-047 or 14-048) and the lock goes back together as it was.
4) Can I put a Schlage ND latch in a Dexter or Deltana lockset if the backset matches?
No. The ND Series latch is an OEM Schlage part made for Schlage ND Series commercial cylindrical locksets, and matching backset alone does not make a latch interchange between brands, since the retractor tailpiece and chassis engagement differ. For a Dexter C1000 Series lock, Dexter's own C1000 deadlatch is the matching part. Deltana sells latches by backset and function instead: G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Grade 1 entry latches at 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, with G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 the passage/privacy versions at the same two backsets.
5) What replacement latch fits a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset when the lockset is not a Schlage ND?
The Schlage ND Series Dead Latch is a certified Schlage replacement engineered for ND Series commercial locksets, with the 14-047 covering a 2-3/8 inch backset and the 13-247 covering a 2-3/4 inch backset, both square corner with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate. If the chassis in the door is not an ND lockset, Deltana builds regular latches in the same two backsets: the G1RLE238 Grade 1 Regular Latch Entry at 2-3/8 inch backset and the G1RLE275 Grade 1 Regular Latch Entry at 2-3/4 inch backset. Backset alone does not make a latch interchangeable - a cylindrical latch has to match the lock chassis it retracts, so identify the lock family first and then the backset.
6) Which deadlatch covers a 3-3/4 inch backset?
The 14-028 is the 3-3/4 inch backset configuration of the Schlage ND Series Dead Latch, square corner with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate, offered in the same nine finishes as the shorter backsets: 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 643E Aged Bronze. Deltana's regular latches are built around the two common backsets, 2-3/8 inch on the G1RLE238 and G1RLP238 and 2-3/4 inch on the G1RLE275 and G1RLP275. Wide-stile openings that put the lever centerline 3-3/4 inches in from the door edge are the case for the 14-028 - measure from the door edge to the center of the lever hole before ordering, since a 2-3/4 inch latch will not reach the chassis on that prep.
7) Half our doors are Schlage ND and half are Dexter C1000. Can one deadlatch cover both?
No - a deadlatch is matched to the chassis it retracts, so each lock family needs its own part. Dexter's deadlatch for the C1000 Series, DEXC1000-DL-630, is the part for a C1000 lockset. The Schlage ND Series Dead Latch is a certified Schlage replacement built to Schlage commercial tolerances for ND Series locksets, sold in four configurations - 13-247 at 2-3/4 inch backset, 14-028 at 3-3/4 inch, 14-047 at 2-3/8 inch with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate, and 14-048 at 2-3/8 inch with a narrower 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate. For a maintenance stock spanning both fleets, carry the Dexter deadlatch for the C1000 doors and the ND configuration matching the backset and faceplate cutout on the ND doors, which is what the existing mortise pocket in each door edge will accept without patching.
8) Will the Schlage ND Series dead latch work on a door with a beveled edge?
Yes. The ND Series latch is adjustable for flat or beveled edge doors, so the same part covers a square-edge wood or hollow metal door and a beveled leaf without ordering a different latch. That is what makes it a safe stock item for a maintenance shop carrying openings of mixed vintage.
9) Our building is standardized on 626 satin chrome ND locks. Can I get every backset in that finish?
All four latch configurations come in all nine finishes, so 626 Satin Chrome is available whether the opening takes a 2-3/8, 2-3/4 or 3-3/4 inch backset. The full finish range is 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 643E Aged Bronze. For a fleet of doors that means one finish code across the property even when the door preps are not identical.
10) When would I need the 3-3/4 inch backset Schlage latch instead of the standard one?
Order the 14-028 when the lever bore sits 3-3/4 inches back from the door edge, which shows up on wider-stile commercial door preps rather than the usual openings. Most doors take 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, covered by the 14-047 and 14-048 at 2-3/8 and the 13-247 at 2-3/4. Measure before ordering rather than assuming, since a 3-3/4 inch prep will not accept any of the shorter latches.
11) Does the Schlage ND replacement latch have to match the lock function, entry versus passage?
Function lives in the lock chassis, not in this latch. The ND Series latches are specified by backset and faceplate size only: 13-247 at 2-3/4 inches, 14-028 at 3-3/4 inches, 14-047 and 14-048 at 2-3/8 inches with 1-1/8 and 1 inch faceplates. So one latch part number covers ND openings regardless of whether the lockset is storeroom, office or passage. That is different from how some other brands catalog it. Deltana, for instance, splits its latches into entry (G1RLE238) and passage/privacy (G1RLP238) at the same 2-3/8 inch backset.
12) The door has no key cylinder - closet and restroom doors. Is there a latch made for passage or privacy instead?
Deltana sells its regular latch by function, so a non-keyed opening takes the G1RLP238 Grade 1 Regular Latch in Passage/Privacy function at 2-3/8 inch backset or the G1RLP275 in the same function at 2-3/4 inch backset, where a keyed opening takes the entry version, G1RLE238 or G1RLE275. The Schlage ND Series Dead Latch works differently: it is an OEM replacement spring latch for ND Series commercial locksets and takes its function from the ND lock body it serves, so a passage or privacy ND opening and a keyed ND opening are both served by the same latch, selected on backset and faceplate rather than on function. On a mixed floor of closet, restroom and keyed doors all running ND trim, that means one latch part number per backset rather than one per function.
13) Is the Lockey M230 deadlocking spring latch the same thing as a Schlage ND dead latch?
No. The Lockey M230 is a complete mechanical keyless digital combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inches thick - keypad, lock body and latch as one assembly, so installing it replaces the whole lock and changes how the door is operated. The Schlage ND Series Dead Latch is the latch by itself: a stainless steel OEM replacement spring latch that drops into an existing ND Series commercial lockset with no modification and keeps the ND lever trim, keying and door prep already in place. Order the M230 when the goal is to convert an opening to keyless code entry; order the ND dead latch when the trim and cylinder are fine and only the latch has worn out or stopped deadlocking.
14) The latch that failed is in the sidelite beside the entrance, not in the door leaf. Will an ND Series dead latch go in there?
No - a sidelite takes a latch built for that panel, not a cylindrical lockset latch. The Accentra YSSL10 Security SideLite Auxiliary Latch is made for the application and includes an ADA compliant thumbturn, carries a fire rating and is built for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. The Schlage ND Series Dead Latch is a replacement spring latch for ND Series commercial locksets, adjustable for flat or beveled edge doors, and belongs in the active leaf where an ND lever or knob chassis is already bored. On a glass front entrance it is common to need both: the YSSL10 for the sidelite panel and the ND latch for the ND lockset in the swinging leaf.
15) Is this Schlage latch stainless steel? The one I am pulling out of an exterior door is corroded.
Stainless steel, yes, both the latch and the construction Schlage specifies for the ND commercial line. That is the reason it is the right call on a perimeter or stairwell door where a plated steel latch tends to bind up after a few seasons of weather. The finish code you pick (605 through 643E) is cosmetic matching to the trim; the corrosion resistance comes from the substrate underneath.
16) The whole ND lock is worn out, not just the latch. Should I still buy the replacement latch?
If the chassis itself is failing, a new latch only fixes the latching half of the problem, and the ND Series dead latch is a replacement latch, not a lockset. Order it when the latch bolt is sticking, dragging or broken and the lever and cylinder are sound. If you are replacing the opening outright and want to drop keys at the same time, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, and it covers doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick.
