PDQ V21900-723 GP Series 2-3/8" Replacement Deadlatch | US26D Satin Chrome

The PDQ V21900-723 is a genuine, high-performance replacement deadlatch designed specifically for the PDQ GP Series 4000 cylindrical locksets. This 2-3/8" backset latch is an essential component for ensuring the continued security and smooth operation of your commercial door hardware.

Finished in a durable US26D Satin Chrome, this latch features a deadlocking (guarded) latchbolt. This critical security feature prevents "shimming" or "loiding"—a common technique used by intruders to retract a latch with a credit card or similar tool. When the door is closed, the guard bolt is depressed, mechanically locking the main latchbolt in place.

Precision Fit for GP Series Locksets

Using OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts like the V21900-723 is vital for maintaining the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification of your hardware. This latch is a direct replacement for the standard components found in:

• PDQ GP115: Storeroom Function

Why Choose Genuine PDQ V21900-723 Latches?

At DoorwaysPlus.com, we recommend genuine PDQ components to ensure your facility remains secure and code-compliant.

1. Security Integration: The deadlocking plunger is specifically timed to work with the GP Series chassis, ensuring the guard bolt engages correctly even on slightly misaligned doors.
2. Durable Construction: Built with heavy-duty internal springs to prevent the common "latch sag" or failure to retract issues found in generic aftermarket parts.
3. Standard Door Prep: Fits seamlessly into a standard 161 door prep. The 1-1/8" x 2-1/4" faceplate is the industry standard for commercial hollow metal and wood doors.
4. Finish Matching: The US26D Satin Chrome finish is an exact match for your existing PDQ Philadelphia (PHL) or Boston (BSN) levers, maintaining a uniform architectural look.

Technical Note: Before ordering, please verify your backset measurement. This latch is 2-3/8". If your lock is mounted further from the edge of the door, you may require the 2-3/4" version.
