Product Information

Full details

This grey tubular mortice latch from From The Anvil is designed for internal doors and is ideal for use with sprung lever handles. Its primary benefit is providing a standard, reliable mechanism for door closure. A minor consideration is that it's specifically for sprung handles, and a rebate kit may be needed for certain installations. Key features include its mild steel construction, a 5-year guarantee, and bolt-through holes for easy handle attachment.

FAQs

What type of door handles is this latch designed for?

This latch is specifically designed for use with sprung lever handles. It features bolt-through holes that are ideal for lever-on-rose handles.

Can I use this latch with knob sets?

While it might be possible with certain adaptors, this latch is optimized for sprung lever handles. For knob sets, From The Anvil recommends using 3", 4", or 5" latches.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The From The Anvil Tubular Mortice Latch comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

What are the dimensions of the latch?

The dimensions are approximately H: 5.8 cm x W: 2.7 cm x D: 6.6 cm. The internal case depth is typically around 6.6 cm (2.5 inches).

Do I need to purchase screws separately?

No, the latch is supplied with matching stainless steel wood screws for installation.

What is a rebate kit and when would I need one?

A rebate kit is used when the door edge is not flat (i.e., it has a rebate or step). If your door has a rebated edge, you would need a matching rebate kit (like product code 51823) to install the latch correctly.

How do I clean the grey finish?

Clean the latch using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.

Troubleshooting

Latch does not retract fully

Ensure the lever handle is correctly aligned with the spindle and the latch mechanism. Check for any obstructions in the mortise or strike plate.

Door does not stay closed

Verify the strike plate alignment on the door frame. Ensure the latch bolt is engaging correctly with the strike plate.

Screws are not holding the latch securely

Ensure the screws are suitable for the door material and are driven into a solid part of the door. If installing in a hollow door, consider using longer screws or appropriate anchors.

Difficulty fitting handles

Confirm the handle type is compatible (sprung lever). Ensure the bolt-through holes on the latch are aligned with the handle's fixing points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Determine the correct latch size (2.5" or 3" recommended for lever handles).
  2. Mortise the door edge to accommodate the latch case and faceplate.
  3. Insert the latch into the mortise, ensuring the bevelled edge faces the direction of closing.
  4. If using lever handles with through bolts, align the bolt-through holes with the handle's fixing points.
  5. Attach the door handles according to their specific instructions.
  6. Install the strike plate on the door frame.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use with sprung lever handles. May require specific adaptors or may not be suitable for unsprung handles or knob sets.
  • Recommended for internal doors.
  • For doors with rebated edges, a compatible rebate kit (e.g., product code 51823) may be required.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
  • Periodically check that screws are secure and the latch mechanism operates smoothly.
