Schlage 16-228 626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Schlage 16-228 latch work with a 2-3/8 inch backset, or do I have to order a separate 2-3/4 inch version?
One part covers both. The 16-228 is an adjustable backset latch that sets to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, which are the two backsets standard door preps are bored to. For a property with some doors bored at one backset and some at the other, that means one part number on the shelf and the adjustment made at the door instead of a return when the wrong one shows up.
2) Which Schlage locks does the 16-228 replacement latch fit?
Compatibility on the 16-228 is Schlage S200 and CS210 Series. It is a replacement latch for those two lines, so check the series marked on the lock you are repairing before ordering. If the lockset on the door is from a different Schlage family, this is not the latch that belongs in it.
3) My door edge is mortised for a square corner latch faceplate. Will the Schlage 16-228 drop into the existing pocket?
It will, as long as the pocket is cut for a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch face. The 16-228 uses a square corner faceplate at that size, the common commercial cut. Where it will not work is a door prepped for a radius corner faceplate or for a drive-in latch with no faceplate at all; those door edges have to be re-mortised square before this latch sits flush. Check the corner style on the old latch before you pull it, not after.
4) Will the Schlage 16-228 latch match the finish of the locks already on my doors?
The faceplate is the only part that shows once the latch is in the door edge, and the 16-228 comes in 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, and 613 oil rubbed bronze. Order to match the lockset on that door. 626 is the finish most commercial openings are specified in, 613 is the dark bronze, so a building with mixed trim usually needs more than one of the three.
5) Is the Schlage 16-228 latch built for a commercial opening or is it a residential part?
Commercial, and the latch is stainless steel. It is the service part for S200 and CS210 Series locks rather than an upgrade, so on those doors it is a like-for-like swap that puts the opening back to its original specification instead of changing how the lock functions.
6) My lockset is not a Schlage S200 or CS210. What replacement latch should I be looking at instead?
The 16-228 only covers Schlage S200 and CS210 Series locks, so it is the wrong part for anything else. For a Dexter C1000 Series lock, Dexter's own deadlatch for that series is the match. Otherwise ZenSupply carries Deltana's Grade 1 regular latches, which are backset specific rather than adjustable: the G1RLE238 at 2-3/8 inch backset and the G1RLE275 at 2-3/4. Measure door edge to bore center first, because unlike the Schlage part those two do not interchange.
7) Is a latch for an entry lock the same part as one for a passage or privacy set?
Not always - some lines split the latch by function. Deltana does: the G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 are Grade 1 regular latches with an entry function, while the G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 are the passage/privacy versions, each function offered at 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage 16-228 is identified a different way, by the lock family it fits - S200 and CS210 - and by the backset it adjusts to, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch. So on a Deltana door you match the function code, and on an S200 or CS210 you match the chassis.
8) Can I use a Lockey M230 or an Accentra YSSL10 instead of a Schlage 16-228 latch?
Neither one is a substitute. The Lockey M230 is a complete mechanical keyless combination lock with a deadlocking spring latch and an adjustable backset, so it replaces the whole lock rather than the latch inside the one you have. The Accentra YSSL10 is a sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn for 1-3/4 inch doors, a different application altogether. To repair an S200 or CS210 lock, the 16-228 is the part.
9) I need a 2-3/4 inch backset latch but the lock body is not a Schlage S200 or CS210 - what are the cross-brand options?
The Schlage 16-228 is an adjustable latch that sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and it is specified as compatible with the S200 and CS210 locks. Where the chassis is something else, Deltana covers the same two backsets with separate parts instead of one adjustable one: the G1RLE275 Grade 1 regular latch, entry function, at 2-3/4 inch backset, and the G1RLE238 at 2-3/8 inch. The practical difference is when the backset gets decided - with the Deltana parts you pick it at the time you order, with the 16-228 you set it at the door.
10) A search for an adjustable backset latch turns up the Lockey M230 - can that be used in place of a Schlage 16-228?
They are two different classes of hardware that happen to share the phrase adjustable backset. The Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination deadlocking spring latch lock with adjustable backset - a complete lock, rated for doors 1-1/8 to 2 inch thick, that replaces what is on the door. The Schlage 16-228 is a stainless steel replacement part that adjusts to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and drops into an S200 or CS210 lock you already have. If the lock body is staying, the 16-228 is the part in question; if the whole unit is being swapped for keyless entry, the M230 is a different scope of work.
11) The opening is a glass sidelite beside the main entrance - is a 16-228 the right latch for it?
The 16-228 is the latch that goes inside a Schlage S200 or CS210 lock, so it follows whatever lock is already hung on the door rather than standing on its own. A sidelite is usually handled with a purpose-built unit: the Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and carrying a fire rating. For a commercial entrance where the active leaf has an S200 or CS210 and the sidelite needs its own securing point, those are two separate parts doing two separate jobs.
12) Will the Dexter deadlatch for C1000 locks interchange with the Schlage 16-228?
No - each of those latches is tied to its own lock family. The Dexter deadlatch is built for the C1000 Series, and the 16-228 is specified for the Schlage S200 and CS210. When you are ordering a latch as a replacement part rather than as part of a new lock, the chassis it belongs to is the first thing to confirm; after that comes the backset, which on the 16-228 adjusts to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, and the face, which on the 16-228 is 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch with square corners.
13) We stock spare latches for a mixed portfolio - how few part numbers can cover the common doors?
It comes down to two axes: which lock family the door has, and which backset. On Schlage S200 and CS210 doors, the 16-228 handles both common backsets in a single part, adjusting to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, and it comes in 613 oil rubbed bronze, 605 bright brass and 626 satin chrome so the exposed latch face can be matched to the finish already on the opening. On doors running Deltana regular latches, the same coverage takes four part numbers because they are split by both backset and function - G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 for entry, G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 for passage/privacy, all Grade 1. Stocking by lock family first keeps the shelf honest.
