FAQs

What is the backset of this latch?

This latch has a 76mm case depth, which is the standard measurement for most interior door replacements.

Does this latch come with a strike plate?

Yes, the pack includes the latch, a matching strike plate, a dust box, and all necessary screws.

Is this suitable for a bathroom door?

Yes, provided you are using a handle set that accommodates the latch mechanism.

Can I use this for an exterior door?

No, this is specifically designed for internal residential doors and lacks the security features required for external door locks.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will typically need a drill, a set of spade bits, a chisel, a hammer, and a screwdriver.

Is the finish prone to fading?

The bronze finish is durable, but avoid using abrasive cleaning chemicals to prevent surface damage.

Troubleshooting

The latch bolt does not retract fully

Check that the door is not binding against the frame and ensure the handle spindle is properly aligned with the latch follower.

The latch feels 'sticky' or stiff

Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant into the latch mechanism. Do not use heavy oils that may attract dust.

The door rattles when closed

Adjust the strike plate tab slightly to ensure a tighter fit against the latch bolt when the door is shut.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction ensures long-term reliability
  • Sophisticated bronze finish complements various interior styles
  • Easy to install for intermediate DIYers
  • Includes all necessary components for a full setup

Cons

  • Specific to 76mm depth requirements
  • Bronze finish may require specific cleaning agents to prevent tarnishing
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty external security doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, measure the backset of your door (the distance from the door edge to the center of the handle hole). This unit requires a 76mm depth. Mark the center point on the door edge, drill a hole using an appropriate spade bit, and chisel out a recess for the forend so it sits flush with the door edge. Secure with the provided screws.

Compatibility: This latch is designed for standard interior residential doors. It is not intended for high-security exterior entrance doors.

Care: To maintain the bronze finish, wipe periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the protective finish and lead to oxidation.
