Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this latch suitable for external doors?

No, this is a tubular mortice latch specifically designed for internal doors and does not include locking features.

Does this latch come with a warranty?

UAP Limited products are built with high-quality standards; please refer to your specific point of purchase for detailed warranty terms.

Can I use this on a fire door?

Yes, this latch is approved to BS EN12209 standards and is suitable for use on 30-minute fire door assemblies.

What is included in the package?

Each set includes the tubular latch mechanism, a strike plate, a latch plate, and all required fixing screws.

How do I determine if 65mm is the correct size?

Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the hole drilled for the door handle spindle. If it is 65mm, this is the correct size for your installation.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

The finish is designed for indoor use. While durable, it is not specifically treated for harsh, direct outdoor weather exposure.

Troubleshooting

Latch does not retract fully

Check that the door is not warped and the strike plate is perfectly aligned with the latch bolt.

Handle feels loose or rattles

Ensure all fixing screws are tightened to the door surface and check that the internal spring mechanism has not been damaged during installation.

Door fails to stay closed

Verify the depth of the strike plate mortise; if it is too deep, the latch will not engage fully with the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for 30-minute fire door assemblies
  • Meets BS EN12209 quality and safety standards
  • Complete set includes all necessary mounting hardware
  • Robust build quality from a UK-experienced brand
  • Simple, non-locking design perfect for standard interior doors

Cons

  • Specific to non-locking door requirements
  • Requires precise mortising into the door edge
  • Size is fixed at 65mm, limiting compatibility with deeper door prep

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard door mortice drill bit or a chisel to create the necessary pocket in the door edge. Ensure that the 65mm backset matches your door handle's spindle position. To maintain the mechanism, occasionally wipe the latch bolt with a clean cloth to remove debris. If the latch becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the latch head, but avoid heavy grease that might attract dust and grit over time. Always ensure the strike plate is aligned correctly with the door frame to prevent binding or misalignment.
