Sargent 16-2149 Latchbolt — 2-3/4" Backset Replacement for Sargent 480 Series Deadbolt
The Sargent 16-2149 is an OEM replacement latchbolt designed specifically for the Sargent 480 Series deadbolt. Whether you are restoring a worn or damaged latch mechanism or converting an existing installation to a standard 2-3/4" backset, this factory-matched component ensures precise fit and reliable operation without the need for a full lock replacement.
This part is a direct fit for facility managers, locksmiths, and commercial contractors maintaining or upgrading doors already prepped for the Sargent 480 Series cylindrical deadlock. The 2-3/4" backset is the standard commercial backset dimension — matching the ANSI/BHMA G2 cylindrical lock preparation common in commercial hollow metal doors and frames.
Key Benefits
- OEM replacement fit — engineered to factory tolerances for the Sargent 480 Series deadbolt
- Standard 2-3/4" backset — compatible with the most common commercial door prep (ANSI 115.2 / G2 cylindrical prep)
- Backset conversion — allows conversion of an existing 480 Series installation to 2-3/4" backset where an alternate backset was previously used
- Multiple finish options — available in US26D (Satin Chrome), US10 (Satin Bronze), and US3 (Polished Brass) to match existing hardware finish
- Part-level serviceability — replace only the worn component rather than the entire lockset, reducing downtime and cost
Applications
- Replacement latchbolt for Sargent 480 Series cylindrical deadbolt installations
- Backset conversion on existing 480 Series deadlocks to 2-3/4" standard
- Commercial office, institutional, and light industrial doors with standard cylindrical deadlock preparations
- Preventive maintenance programs for doors requiring latch mechanism service
About the Sargent 480 Series Deadbolt
The Sargent 480 Series is a cylindrical deadbolt (deadlock) — a lock that provides a dead-locking bolt only, with no latch function. This type of hardware is typically installed independently of, or above, a latchset on commercial doors requiring an additional level of keyed security. The 2-3/4" backset positions the bolt centerline 2-3/4" from the door edge, the standard dimension for commercial door preps per ANSI 115.2.
