The Schlage Residential F Series Deadlatch with a square corner faceplate is a smart choice when you're updating a door that requires a 5-inch backset—a longer distance from the door edge to the center of the knob or lever. Perfect for older or custom doors, this latch helps ensure your lock operates smoothly and securely.
Featuring a 1" x 2-1/4" square corner faceplate, this deadlatch is compatible with most Schlage F Series residential locks and fits snugly into routed door edge cutouts. The satin chrome finish delivers a sleek, modern look while offering durability against everyday wear.
The built-in Aceplate design adds reinforcement, making the latch more resistant to tampering or pressure. Whether you're replacing a faulty latch or fitting hardware on a thicker door, this part offers a clean and reliable solution. Installation is simple with just a screwdriver—no need for complex steps or unusual tools.
Once installed, the latch provides smooth retraction and a firm hold, helping your door stay aligned and secure. It’s a key part of keeping your door hardware working like new—and with Schlage’s trusted build quality, you can count on lasting performance.
