Sargent 06-5083 Guarded Latchbolt — 2-3/8" Backset Replacement for Sargent 6 Line Cylindrical Locks
The Sargent 06-5083 is an OEM-specification guarded latchbolt designed as a direct replacement for Sargent 6 Line series cylindrical locksets. With a 2-3/8" backset, this latchbolt restores positive latching function to a wide range of commercial-grade cylindrical lock functions without requiring a full lockset replacement — a cost-effective, field-serviceable solution for facility managers, locksmiths, and commercial door hardware installers.
The guarded design includes a deadlatch guard plunger that, when properly engaged against the strike lip, prevents the latch from being forced back by shimming or credit-card attacks — an important security feature on commercial doors where the latchbolt is the primary positive-latching component.

- 6G04 — Storeroom
- 6G05 — Entry / Office
- 6G24 — Classroom
- 6G37 — Classroom Security
- 6G38-2 — Classroom Security variant

What Is a Guarded Latchbolt?
A guarded latchbolt (also called a deadlatch or anti-shim latchbolt) combines the spring-loaded beveled latch bolt with an integral guard plunger. When the door closes, the guard plunger contacts the strike face and locks the latch bolt in the projected position. This prevents the latch from being retracted without turning the lever or using a key — a required feature on most commercial and institutional door applications to achieve positive latching, as defined under ANSI/BHMA commercial hardware standards.
Key Benefits
- Direct OEM replacement — fits all Sargent 6 Line cylindrical lock functions listed above; no modification required
- Guarded / deadlatch design — guard plunger prevents shimming and improper retraction
- 2-3/8" backset — standard commercial backset for most interior and light commercial door applications
- Restores positive latching — maintains fire-door and code-compliant latch engagement when replacing a worn or damaged bolt assembly
- Part-level serviceability — extends the useful life of an installed 6 Line lockset without full hardware replacement
Typical Applications
- Replacement service on commercial office, corridor, classroom, and storeroom doors
- Facility maintenance on institutional, educational, and healthcare door hardware
