Schlage Commercial S Series Adjustable Dead Latch

Yes, and the same latch covers 2-3/8 as well. The 16-203 and 16-204 dead latches adjust between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard cylindrical bore spacings, so you set it to whatever the door is prepped for rather than ordering by backset. That is useful on a building where the prep isn't consistent door to door. One exception: if the opening is a 5 inch backset prep, you need the 16-132 instead.

Match the mortise already cut into the door edge. The 16-203 has a 1 x 2-1/4 inch square corner face. The 16-204 is the same 1 x 2-1/4 inch size but with round corners on a 1/4 inch radius. A square face will not seat in a radiused pocket without filing the corners, and a radius face in a square pocket leaves four visible gaps. Machine routed preps normally take the radius corner, hand chiselled preps are normally square, so look at the door before you pick.

Flat or beveled, both. The S Series dead latch is adjustable for flat or beveled edge doors, so you are not chasing two different part numbers when some leaves in a building are beveled and some are square edged. Combined with the adjustable backset, one line item covers a mixed set of openings.

It is the dead latch for the Schlage S Series and CS210 Series cylindrical locks. If you are rebuilding or rekeying one of those and the latch is worn, dragging, or the wrong backset for a door you are moving it to, this is the part that comes out and goes back in. The latch is brass, and it is a genuine Schlage component rather than an aftermarket copy, which matters when the lock body it seats into is Schlage.

A dead latch carries a small plunger alongside the main latchbolt. When the door closes, that plunger rides up on the strike and blocks the latchbolt from being pushed back, which stops it being shimmed or carded open. A plain spring latch has no plunger and can be loided. The Schlage S Series part is specified as a deadlatch, so on any keyed exterior or tenant entry door it is the right choice. If the opening does not need deadlocking, Deltana's Grade 1 regular latches cover it: G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 in entry function, G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 for passage or privacy.

This one is built for the Schlage S and CS210 Series and will not drop into another maker's lock body, so don't order it as a generic latch. For a Dexter C1000 Series lock, Dexter's own deadlatch for the C1000 Series is the matching part. For Deltana cylindrical locks, the regular latches come fixed per backset: G1RLE238 at 2-3/8 inch and G1RLE275 at 2-3/4 inch, both Grade 1 entry. That is the practical difference in ordering. The Schlage 16-203 and 16-204 adjust across both backsets, while the Deltana latches are ordered to the backset you already have.

Latch only. This is the replacement dead latch, so you keep the lock body, cylinder and trim already hung on the door. Worth knowing for parts ordering: complete S Series locks are supplied with a G506-815 sleeve, whereas here you are buying the latch on its own. If what you actually want is a whole lock rather than a latch, the Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, and it fits doors from 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick.

Six finishes are made: 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel and 626 satin chrome. Only the faceplate shows once the door is hung, sitting in the edge against the strike, so the finish you are really matching is the strike and the lock trim next to it rather than anything on the face of the door. On commercial openings 626 satin chrome is the usual standard, and it is the safe default if you are standardizing a portfolio.

That is a different part. The Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, built for 1-3/4" doors and carrying a fire rating. The Schlage S Series adjustable dead latch is the latch that goes into a Schlage S or CS210 Series lock in the active door leaf. Glass front installers and security integrators working an entrance with a fixed sidelite panel typically end up ordering both: the YSSL10 for the sidelite and the correct Schlage latch for the operating leaf.

No - match the latch to the chassis it was built for. The Schlage adjustable dead latch is a certified Schlage part for the S and CS210 Series, and Dexter publishes its own deadlatch for the C1000 Series as the DEXC1000-DL-630. A locksmith swapping a worn latch on a Dexter C1000 cylindrical lock should order the Dexter part; the Schlage 16-203, 16-204 and 16-132 latches go back into Schlage S and CS210 Series chassis.

Both approaches exist. The Schlage S Series dead latch in the 16-203 and 16-204 forms is adjustable for a 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset, so one part number covers either bore. The Deltana Grade 1 regular latches are ordered by backset instead: the G1RLE238 is the 2-3/8" entry latch and the G1RLE275 is the 2-3/4" entry latch, two distinct part numbers. If a property manager is buying spares for a mixed set of doors and has not measured every one, the adjustable Schlage part removes the measurement step; if the backsets are already documented, the fixed Deltana parts land on the same openings.

It depends on the line. Deltana splits its Grade 1 regular latches by function: the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are the passage/privacy versions at 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" backset, while the G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are the entry versions. The Schlage S Series dead latch is selected by faceplate and backset instead - the 16-203 with a 1" x 2-1/4" square corner face, the 16-204 with a 1" x 2-1/4" round corner face on a 1/4" radius, and the 16-132 with a 1-1/8" x 2-1/4" square corner face at 5" backset. A contractor ordering Deltana needs the function nailed down first; ordering the Schlage latch, the faceplate shape and the bore location are what drive the part number.

Yes, but not the standard-backset version. The 16-132 dead latch is the 5" backset part, with a 1-1/8" x 2-1/4" square corner face, while the 16-203 and 16-204 cover 2-3/8" or 2-3/4". The comparable Deltana Grade 1 regular latches are built to the common bores - the G1RLE238 and G1RLP238 at 2-3/8", the G1RLE275 and G1RLP275 at 2-3/4" - so a 5" opening points at the 16-132.

No. The Lockey M230 is a complete mechanical keyless digital combination lock, a whole lockset with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset built into it, rated for doors 1-1/8" to 2" thick. The Schlage S Series adjustable dead latch is the latch alone - a replacement part that drops into an existing Schlage S or CS210 Series chassis. Buying the M230 means changing how the door is operated; buying the Schlage latch means the existing lock and keying stay exactly as they are.

Not with the Schlage S Series dead latch. Complete Schlage locks are provided with a G506-815 sleeve and are adjustable for flat or beveled edge doors, so the same latch handles both edge conditions, and it comes in 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel and 626 satin chrome to match what is already on the openings. The Deltana Grade 1 regular latches are ordered strictly by function and backset - G1RLE238, G1RLE275 for entry and G1RLP238, G1RLP275 for passage/privacy - so a property manager stocking spares across a mixed building is dealing with four Deltana part numbers where the Schlage side turns on faceplate shape and finish.
