TownSteel ITK-310238-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel ITK-310238 latch work in my existing 2-3/8 inch backset door prep?
Yes. The ITK-310238 is built to a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the shorter of the two standard residential/light commercial backsets (the other being 2-3/4 inch). If your door was bored with the cross-bore 2-3/8 inches from the door edge to the center of the hole, this drops into that prep. If your opening is a 2-3/4 inch backset, this is the wrong part.
2) What lock does the TownSteel ITK-310238 latch fit?
It is the OEM spring latch for the TownSteel TRXL-75 lock series. TownSteel builds it to fit that series specifically, so it is a repair part for a TRXL-75 already hanging in the door, not a universal latch you can drop into any cylindrical lockset.
3) Can I replace just the latch instead of buying a whole new TRXL-75 lockset?
That is exactly what this part is for. When the latch on a TRXL-75 sticks, drags or stops retracting, swapping the ITK-310238 in restores the function without pulling the lever trim, cylinder and chassis off the door. For a property manager or MRO crew running a fleet of TRXL-75 openings, keeping a few on the shelf means a service call is a latch swap instead of a hardware replacement.
4) Can a Kwikset 84290 plain latch replace a TownSteel ITK-310238 in a TRXL-75 lock?
No. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plain latch with a 2-3/8 inch backset, so the backset dimension matches, but it is built for Kwikset cylindrical locksets and not for the TownSteel TRXL-75. The ITK-310238 is a genuine TownSteel spring latch backset engineered specifically for the TRXL-75 series, and the chassis interface, latch tailpiece and faceplate prep are what determine fit, not backset alone. For a TRXL-75 repair, use the TownSteel part.
5) I need a latch with an adjustable backset instead of a fixed 2-3/8 inch one. What are my options?
The TownSteel ITK-310238 is a fixed 2-3/8 inch spring latch backset made for the TRXL-75 series, so it cannot be adjusted to 2-3/4 inch. If the opening needs an adjustable latch and the lock is not a TRXL-75, the Deltana DLP23875 is a drive-in latch with an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch in a passage/privacy function, and the Deltana DLE23875 is the adjustable drive-in latch in an entry function. Both Deltana latches are listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. On a TRXL-75, confirm the door's existing 2-3/8 inch bore center before ordering the TownSteel part.
6) Is this a deadbolt latch or a self-latching spring latch?
Spring latch. The ITK-310238 has a beveled spring-loaded bolt that retracts on the strike and snaps back in, so the door latches when it is pulled shut without anyone turning anything. If you need a latch that only throws when it is operated, you are looking for a deadbolt latch, such as the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH motorized deadbolt latch, not this part.
7) What finish does the ITK-310238 come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
One finish only: 626 Satin Chrome. That is the standard commercial brushed-chrome finish, so it coordinates with the satin chrome levers, strikes and closers already common in office, school and healthcare openings. There is no other finish option on this latch, so if your building is standardized on a brass or bronze finish, the visible faceplate will not match.
8) I need a 2-3/8 inch latch with a UL fire rating for a rated opening. Is this it?
The ITK-310238 is sold as the OEM service latch for the TRXL-75 and should be used to keep that lockset as originally installed. If what you actually need is a separately UL-rated 2-3/8 inch backset latch for a generic cylindrical lock, Kwikset lists the 84290 square corner plainlatch at 2-3/8 inch backset as a UL part, and the 83521 RCAL plain latch and 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive as UL 3 hour latches.
9) What exactly do I order to get this part right the first time?
Order model ITK-310238-626. The ITK-310238 identifies the 2-3/8 inch backset spring latch for the TRXL-75, and the 626 suffix is the Satin Chrome finish. For distributors cross-referencing, that full designation is the TownSteel part number.
10) What is the difference between the TownSteel ITK-310238 and a deadbolt latch like the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH?
They do different jobs. The ITK-310238 is a spring latch, meaning it retracts on the bevel and self-latches when the door closes, which is what a TRXL-75 lockset needs to catch the strike on every close. The Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series, a motorized deadbolt bolt that is thrown and retracted deliberately and does not self-latch. If a TRXL-75 is failing to latch when the door swings shut, the spring latch is the part to replace.
11) My TRXL-75 latch works but the faceplate is damaged. Do I need the full ITK-310238?
The TownSteel ITK-310238 is supplied as a complete spring latch backset assembly for the TRXL-75, not as a separate faceplate. Faceplate-only kits do exist in the market for other platforms, such as the Emtek 83228 faceplate and screws for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners, but that is an Emtek part and will not cover a TownSteel latch case. For TRXL-75 service, the ITK-310238 assembly is the correct order.
12) I need a fire rated latch for a labeled opening. Is the ITK-310238 the right choice or should I look at the Kwikset 83521?
Match the latch to the lock on the door. The ITK-310238 is a commercial-grade OEM spring latch backset built for the TownSteel TRXL-75, so on a labeled door carrying a TRXL-75 lockset it is the part that keeps the assembly as tested. The Kwikset 83521 is an RCAL plain latch carrying a UL 3 hour rating for Kwikset BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL locksets, and the Kwikset 83518 is the RCAL adjustable square drive version with the same UL 3 hour rating. Those are the right latches only if the door carries one of those Kwikset locksets.
13) Is the TownSteel ITK-310238 rated for commercial traffic?
It is a commercial-duty component, built to TownSteel's own spec for the TRXL-75 series used in office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government facilities. It is not a residential-grade drive-in latch.
14) Does the ITK-310238 have a handing I need to specify?
No handing to call out. A cylindrical spring latch of this type uses a beveled bolt that is reversible on install, so one part covers left and right hand doors. What you do have to get right is the backset, 2-3/8 inch, and that it is going into a TRXL-75.
