PDQ KTI4302-1 Replacement Deadbolt Latch | 2-3/8" Backset for KT Series Dead Bolt

The PDQ KTI4302-1 is the genuine replacement latch bolt assembly specifically engineered for the PDQ KT Series extra heavy-duty deadbolts. When your commercial hardware shows signs of mechanical fatigue or the latch fails to fully extend, this specialized component provides a cost-effective solution to restore the integrity of your door opening without replacing the entire lock chassis.

Designed for high-traffic environments, this latch features the signature 2-3/8" backset and a standard 1" x 2-1/4" faceplate, ensuring a perfect "drop-in" fit for existing KT Series installations. By utilizing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, you maintain the Grade 1 security rating and fire-life safety certifications of your facility.

ANSI Function Summary: Auxiliary Deadlocking Protection

While the latch itself is a component part, it is the core mechanism that enables the ANSI A156.5 auxiliary locking functions of the KT Series.

• Positive Deadlocking: Once the bolt is projected, the internal mechanism deadlocks the latch, preventing "loiding" or shimming attacks where an intruder attempts to retract the bolt with a credit card or tool.
• 1" Security Throw: This latch provides a full 1" throw, which is the industry standard for maximum security, ensuring deep penetration into the door jamb for superior kick-in resistance.
• Saw-Resistant Interior: The bolt contains concealed case-hardened steel roll pins that spin freely if sawed, neutralizing the most common methods of forced entry.

Professional Solutions for Facility Maintenance

The KTI4302-1 addresses several critical maintenance and security pain points for facility managers and locksmiths:

• Restore Security Instantly: A sticking or damaged latch is a major security vulnerability. This replacement restores the smooth, reliable projection of the deadbolt, ensuring the door is actually locked when the key is turned.
• Cost-Efficient Repairs: Instead of purchasing a completely new KT Series Deadbolt (which includes cylinders and trim), replacing just the latchbolt assembly significantly reduces repair costs and labor time.
• OEM Compatibility Guaranteed: Non-original latches often fail to align with the KT Series internal cam mechanism. This PDQ factory part ensures the timing and torque requirements are met, preventing future damage to the cylinder or thumbturn.
• Buy American Act (BAA) Compliance: Like the full lockset, this component is part of the PDQ catalog that supports Buy American Act requirements, making it suitable for federal, military, and municipal building maintenance.
