It is a direct-fit, manufacturer-sourced part — no machining or modification required for compatible 480 Series installations.
Facility managers, locksmiths, and commercial contractors sourcing a genuine Sargent deadbolt latchbolt replacement will find the 16-2153 the correct part-level solution, avoiding a full lock replacement when only the latchbolt assembly needs service.
About the Sargent 480 Series Deadbolt
The Sargent 480 Series is a cylindrical deadbolt designed for commercial and institutional door applications. The series provides a deadlocking bolt function — the bolt is thrown and retracted by key cylinder operation rather than a spring-loaded latch, providing a higher level of door security than a standard latch. The 16-2153 latchbolt serves as the primary bolt component within that mechanism.
Backset Conversion: 2-3/8" vs. 2-3/4"
Backset is the horizontal distance from the edge of the door to the centerline of the lock bore. Standard commercial cylindrical locks are typically prepared at a 2-3/4" backset; however, many residential-style and narrower commercial door preps use a 2-3/8" backset. Installing the Sargent 16-2153 allows a 480 Series deadbolt to be fitted into a door prepared for the shorter 2-3/8" backset dimension without replacing the entire lockset.
