General Lock Square Corner Deadlatch for Cylindrical Knob/Leverset (Bright Brass)
The General Lock 2DL Square-Corner Dead Latch is a Grade 2 replacement latch designed for compatible cylindrical knob and lever locksets. Featuring a square-corner faceplate and a polished US3 Bright Brass (605) finish, it is suitable for new installations, replacement projects, and door-hardware retrofits.
Available with either a 2-3/8-inch or 2-3/4-inch backset, the 2DL allows installers to select the correct latch length for the existing door preparation. Its dead-latching design helps resist latch manipulation when the door is closed, and the auxiliary bolt is properly engaged by the strike.
The square-corner faceplate fits compatible mortised door-edge preparations and coordinates with matching bright brass locksets and architectural hardware.
