The Union Essentials Tubular Latch is a dependable hardware solution designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, high-quality latch for standard internal doors. It offers a smooth, two-way operation suitable for sprung lever handles, ensuring consistent performance in high-traffic residential areas. While it provides excellent value and durability with its zinc-plated finish, users should ensure their door thickness accommodates the 57mm backset before installation to avoid compatibility issues.

This model features a 57mm backset.
Yes, it includes a matching square forend and strike plate.
No, this is intended for internal residential doors only.
The zinc-plated finish is designed to be corrosion-resistant for indoor use.
The case size is 79mm, which is equivalent to 3 inches.
You will need a drill with an appropriate spade bit for the case and a sharp wood chisel for the forend plate.
Verify if the handle mechanism is 'sprung.' This latch requires a sprung lever handle to function correctly.
Check that the strike plate is correctly aligned with the latch bolt. Minor adjustments to the strike plate positioning often resolve this.
Ensure the hole is drilled to the correct 79mm depth and that no wood debris is obstructing the bore.
To install, ensure your door has a 57mm backset measurement from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole. Use a sharp wood chisel to recess the square forend so it sits flush with the door edge. The zinc-plated finish is low maintenance; simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth occasionally to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective plating and lead to oxidation over time.
