Accentra (Yale) 112-1/4F Series Heavy-duty Double Cylinder Latchbolt, For Outswinging Door

The Accentra (Yale) 112-1/4F is a heavy-duty auxiliary rim latchbolt, a surface-mounted secondary lock that adds keyed security to a door, configured for an outswinging door with a flat strike. It's the double-cylinder version, keyed on both the outside and the inside, and it mounts on the surface of the door rather than mortising into the edge. The 112 Series is Yale's long-proven rim latchbolt line, and the 112-1/4F is the specific model for out-swing applications: the flat strike (the "F") suits a door that swings outward, where a standard angle strike wouldn't seat correctly. It carries Yale's heritage of dependable, serviceable commercial rim hardware, now under the Accentra brand.

What an auxiliary rim latchbolt does

This is worth understanding, because a rim latchbolt is a specific kind of lock. It mounts on the interior surface of the door (the rim) and projects a self-latching springbolt into a strike on the frame, so the door latches automatically when it closes, like a night latch or deadlatch. On the 112-1/4F, the bolt is a 1-1/8" springbolt that latches on its own, and because it's a double-cylinder model, a key is required to retract it from either side. That makes it an auxiliary lock you add alongside a primary lockset for extra security, common on commercial entries, back doors, and storefronts that need a surface-mounted keyed latch.

The double-cylinder, key-both-sides design means the door cannot be opened from inside without a key either, which is a security choice for doors with adjacent glass or where you want to prevent unauthorized exit. As with any double-cylinder lock, follow local egress codes for occupied spaces.

Outswinging door and flat strike

This is the model's defining detail. The "F" in 112-1/4F means it ships with a flat strike, which is the correct strike for an outswinging door. On an out-swing, the door pulls away from you toward the outside, so the strike geometry differs from an inswinging setup, the flat strike seats the springbolt properly in that configuration. If your door swings inward instead, the 112 Series has the inswinging versions (the standard 112-1/4 for in-swing), so matching the strike to your door swing is the key ordering decision.

Why choose the Accentra (Yale) 112-1/4F

Yale rim hardware has been a commercial standard for generations, and the 112 Series latchbolt is a proven, serviceable auxiliary lock. The 112-1/4F gives you a heavy-duty surface-mounted latchbolt sized correctly for an outswinging door, with an anti-pick 5-pin outside cylinder, double-cylinder key-both-sides security, and a self-latching springbolt that secures the door automatically on closing. For commercial doors that need a dependable secondary keyed lock and swing outward, it's the right configuration in a trusted line.

One thing to confirm before ordering: the 112-1/4F is for outswinging doors (flat strike) and is double cylinder (keyed both sides). If your door swings inward, choose the inswinging 112 version, and if you want a key outside with a thumbturn or different inside operation, check the other 112 Series configurations. Verify your door thickness falls in the 1-1/4" to 2-1/4" range.
