Schlage Commercial 16203619 Adjustable Deadlatch

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL 16203619 is an S Series square corner adjustable deadlatch finished in satin nickel. A deadlatch is a spring-actuated bolt with a plunger that deadlocks the bolt automatically when the door closes, preventing retraction by shimming or carding. This unit features a square corner faceplate and an adjustable backset, making it compatible with a range of door preparations without additional hardware modifications. It is installed by licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware technicians, and qualified maintenance professionals in light commercial and institutional door assemblies.

This deadlatch is suited for commercial and institutional door applications where a reliable, self-locking latch is required. The square corner faceplate fits standard commercial door frames and mortise or cylindrical lock prep applications. The satin nickel finish provides corrosion resistance and a neutral aesthetic consistent with common commercial hardware finishes. Adjustable backset functionality accommodates varying door thicknesses and frame preparations encountered in retrofit and new-installation scenarios.
