Schlage Residential 16080.716 Adjustable Spring Latch

Product Description

The SCHLAGE RESIDENTIAL 16080.716 is a dual option adjustable spring latch designed for residential door lockset installations. It accommodates both a 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset, allowing a single latch to fit a wide range of door preparations without stocking multiple parts. The latch features a round or drive-in installation style and is finished in Aged Bronze. It is constructed from zinc and carries an ANSI/BHMA A156.40 Residential Grade AAA rating. Residential locksmiths, door hardware installers, and experienced DIYers install this component as part of a standard knob or lever lockset assembly on interior or exterior residential doors.

This latch is part of the Schlage F Series residential lockset line and is intended for mechanical residential lockset applications. It fits standard door bore preparations and is suited for single-family and multi-family residential installations. The adjustable backset feature simplifies the installation process when door prep dimensions vary between 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset configurations. Mounting screws are included for appropriate parts. The Aged Bronze finish is finish-specific, meaning this latch is matched to Aged Bronze hardware assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware installer. Before servicing or replacing a latch, ensure the door is open and secure before removing existing hardware. This latch requires a standard cross-bore door preparation; verify backset measurement against the door edge bore before selecting the 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch position. Follow local building codes and the manufacturer instructions for proper latch and strike alignment.
