Schlage Commercial 16203626 Adjustable Deadlatch

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL 16203626 is a square corner adjustable deadlatch designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. This latch bolt mounts into the door edge and provides positive latching action when the door closes, securing the door until the handle or lever is operated. The satin chrome finish offers a clean, professional appearance suited to commercial environments. Sold as a single unit, this deadlatch is installed by commercial door hardware technicians and locksmiths as part of a mortise or cylindrical lock assembly.

This deadlatch is intended for use in commercial, multi-family, and institutional settings where a square corner faceplate is specified. Square corner faceplates are commonly required by commercial hollow metal door frames and many wood door applications where a rounded corner faceplate is not acceptable. The adjustable backset feature accommodates varying door preparations, giving installers flexibility on retrofit and new-construction projects alike.

Key Features

• Square corner faceplate meets common commercial hollow metal door specifications
• Adjustable backset accommodates different door preparations without requiring a separate latch
• Satin chrome finish provides a consistent appearance in commercial hardware applications
• Compact profile at 0.3 inches thick faceplate keeps installation within standard door edge tolerances
• Sold individually, compatible with standard S Series lock chassis configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement component for SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL S Series lock assemblies requiring a square corner adjustable deadlatch in satin chrome finish.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician. Disengage all power to any electrified hardware and confirm the door is secure before beginning work. Verify the door edge preparation matches the faceplate dimensions before installation, and consult local building and fire codes for requirements governing latch bolt throw and faceplate style in commercial occupancies.
