Schlage Residential 16086626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) The door has a keyed entry lock, not a passage set. Is the Schlage 16-086 the right latch?
No. The Schlage 16-086 is a dual option spring latch built for passage and privacy functions - it has no deadlocking action for a keyed opening. For an entry function, the Deltana DLE23875 is the drive-in adjustable latch Deltana lists with an Entry function, and it covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Match the latch function to the lockset function; a passage latch installed behind an entry lock will not give you the deadlocking the keyed lock expects.
2) What is the closest equivalent to the Schlage 16-086 deadlatch from another brand for a passage or privacy door?
The Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch is the nearest match in function and preparation. Like the Schlage 16-086, it is a drive-in latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and Deltana lists it for passage and privacy functions - the same two functions the 16-086 is built for. The practical difference is the faceplate: the 16-086 carries a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate with 1/4 radius round corners staked on as a complete unit, so if the door is already prepped for a radius corner faceplate, confirm the corner style on the Deltana before swapping.
3) The opening is a fire-rated door. Does the Schlage 16-086 work, or do I need a different latch?
The 16-086 is a residential dual option spring latch for passage and privacy functions. Where the opening calls for a fire-rated latch, Kwikset publishes UL-rated latches for its bored locks: the 83521 RCAL plain latch is listed UL 3 hour for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL locks, the 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch is listed UL 3 hour, and the 84290 square corner plainlatch is a UL latch at a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset. Note those Kwikset latches carry square corner faceplates, so a door prepped for the 16-086 round corner faceplate will need the mortise reworked or a corner-matched part.
4) What finishes does the Schlage 16-086 deadlatch come in, and does the faceplate need to match my knobs?
Four finishes: 605 bright brass, 619 satin nickel, 626 satin chrome, and 716 aged bronze. The faceplate is the only piece that shows on the door edge, so for a fleet of doors where the edge is visible, order the finish that matches the lockset trim. On units where the edge is painted or the door is always closed against a stop, the finish is cosmetic and any of the four works mechanically.
5) Is the Schlage 16-086 latch strong enough for apartment turnover and rental use?
The latch is stainless steel, which is what carries it through repeated turnover and damp bathroom or laundry openings without the bolt corroding or dragging. It is a residential-rated component built for the F Series, so it belongs on apartment interiors, bedrooms, and bathrooms rather than on a commercial corridor opening running a Grade 1 cylindrical lock.
6) I have a mix of passage and privacy doors to rebuild. Do I need two different Schlage latches?
One part covers both. The 16-086 spring latch serves passage and privacy alike, because the difference between the two is in the lockset trim and the push-button or turn mechanism, not in the latch. Buy the one model, set each one to the backset the door was bored for, and you can stock a single latch for both door types across a building.
7) What is a comparable adjustable drive-in passage latch if I am not running Schlage F Series trim?
The Deltana DLP23875 is the closest cross-brand equivalent: a drive-in latch with the same adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset, for passage and privacy, and it lists a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range. The Schlage 16-086 is the one to use when the trim on the door is Schlage F Series, since that is what it is built to pair with.
8) Is the Schlage 16-086 the latch for a motorized or electronic deadbolt?
No. The 16-086 is a mechanical spring latch for Schlage F Series passage and privacy locksets, with a 1/2 inch throw bolt driven by the knob or lever. A motorized deadbolt uses its own driven latch - the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH in the EMPowered series is a motorized deadbolt latch, a deadbolt latch function rather than a spring latch. If you are servicing an electronic deadbolt, the 16-086 is not a replacement part for it.
9) Can I use the Schlage 16-086 on a pocket door privacy lock?
No - the 16-086 is a tubular drive-in spring latch with a 7/8 inch latch diameter and a 1/2 inch throw bolt, which requires a bored cross bore and edge bore in a swinging door. A tubular pocket door privacy latch is a different mechanism; for that hardware the Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws set for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners. The two are not interchangeable even though both are described as privacy parts.
10) I only ever install 2-3/8 inch backset doors. Is there a simpler latch than the Schlage 16-086?
Yes. The 16-086 is adjustable for either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is useful when you are servicing a mixed set of doors and do not want to sort parts on the truck. If every opening is 2-3/8 inch, the Kwikset 84290 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset square corner plainlatch, so there is no backset to set at install. The trade is corner style and adjustability: the 84290 is a square corner faceplate, while the 16-086 comes with a 1/4 radius round corner faceplate staked on.
11) Does the Schlage 16-086 come with a strike plate and screws, or is it just the latch?
It is a complete latch unit with the faceplate already staked on, and that is what you get. There is no separate faceplate to fit and no assembly. If the opening also needs a new strike, order that separately.
12) Can I finish-match a replacement latch to bright brass or aged bronze trim?
The Schlage 16-086 is offered in 605 bright brass, 619 satin nickel, 626 satin chrome and 716 aged bronze, so the faceplate can be matched to the rest of the trim on the door. That matters when only the faceplate is visible on the door edge and the rest of the opening is already standardized to one finish. Peer latches such as the Deltana DLP23875 passage/privacy drive-in latch cover the same adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset preparation, so the decision between them often comes down to faceplate corner style and finish match rather than fit.
