General Lock 2DL-622-238-S Black Square Corner Deadlatch for Cylindrical Knob/Leverset
The General Lock 2DL 622 238 S Square-Corner Deadlatch is a Grade 2 replacement latch designed for compatible cylindrical knob and lever locksets. Featuring a square-corner faceplate and a polished US19 Flat Black-Coated (622) finish, it is suitable for new installations, repairs, and door-hardware retrofit projects.
Configured in 2-3/8-inch backsets, the 2DL allows installers to match the latch to the existing door preparation. Its dead-latching feature helps resist latch manipulation when the door is closed and the auxiliary bolt is properly engaged by the strike.
The square-corner faceplate provides a clean fit in compatible squared-corner door-edge preparations, while the Black-Coated finish coordinates with matching US19 locksets and architectural hardware.
