This Loops Locking Bathroom Door Sashlock Latch is designed for secure bathroom doors, offering a reliable locking mechanism with a modern square forend and a 76mm casing in a sleek silver (nickel-plated) finish. While it provides essential privacy and security for bathrooms, users should ensure compatibility with their existing door preparation. Key features include its dedicated bathroom locking function, durable nickel-plated construction, and a versatile 76mm size suitable for many standard doors.

The '76mm' measurement indicates the size of the lock case, specifically the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole where the door handles attach.
No, this sashlock is specifically designed for interior bathroom doors and does not meet the security requirements for external doors.
A square forend refers to the shape of the metal plate on the edge of the door where the latch and bolt are visible. This product has a modern, sharp-cornered square design.
This sashlock is designed to work with standard spindle door handles and a bathroom thumbturn. Ensure your chosen handles and thumbturn are compatible with a 76mm sashlock.
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that can damage the plating.
This is a bathroom sashlock, typically operated by a thumbturn from the inside and an emergency release from the outside, rather than traditional keys.
The emergency release allows access to the bathroom from the outside in case of an emergency, such as someone being locked in or a medical situation.
Check for obstructions in the door or frame. Ensure the spindle and thumbturn are correctly aligned and fully inserted. Lubricate the mechanism with a light oil.
Verify that the door is properly aligned in the frame. Ensure the spindle and thumbturn are not bent or damaged. Check that the door preparation is to the correct dimensions.
The thumbturn mechanism may require lubrication. Apply a small amount of light oil to the spindle where it enters the lock case and operate the thumbturn several times.
The mortise cut into the door edge may not be deep enough or is too large. Adjust the mortise accordingly. Ensure the correct size forend plate is being used.
Setup: This sashlock latch requires a rectangular mortise (rebate) cut into the edge of the door to house the lock body. The forend plate (the visible metal strip on the edge of the door) should sit flush with the door's edge. The spindle for the door handles passes through the center of the lock case, and the locking mechanism is operated by a separate thumbturn spindle. Ensure you have the correct door preparation before purchase.
Compatibility: The 76mm refers to the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole. This is compatible with most standard interior doors. It is designed to work with standard spindle sizes and bathroom thumbturn sets. It is not designed for use with rim locks or other non-mortise lock types.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the sashlock latch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the nickel plating. Periodically check that the latch and locking mechanism operate smoothly and lubricate if necessary with a light oil.
