Schlage 16-207-605 Dead Latch Square Corner Brass F Series

Product Description

The SCHLAGE 16-207-605 is a square corner dead latch designed for use with F Series knob and lever lock sets. It features an adjustable backset that accommodates two standard door preparations: 2 3/8 inches or 2 3/4 inches. The latch face and body are brass construction, offering corrosion resistance and durability under daily use. The square corner face plate fits standard door prep cutouts without modification. Licensed locksmiths, carpenters, and general contractors install this type of hardware during both new construction and replacement service calls.

This dead latch fits residential and light commercial door applications where F Series Schlage knob or lever hardware is installed. It is appropriate for interior and exterior door sets on standard pre-hung and retrofit door slabs. The adjustable backset makes it compatible with the two most common bore-prep dimensions found in residential framing, reducing the need for additional door prep work during installation.
