FAQs
Is this latch suitable for exterior doors?
This is a tubular mortice latch intended for internal doors; it does not provide locking functionality for exterior security.
What does the 76mm measurement represent?
The 76mm refers to the case depth, which is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole.
Can I use this on a fire door?
Yes, this product is CE marked and rated for use on fire doors.
Does it come with fixings?
Yes, the product includes the necessary strike plate, forend, and plastic dust box.
How do I claim the 5-year guarantee?
Retain your proof of purchase, as it will be required to validate the warranty claim if a mechanical failure occurs.
Troubleshooting
Latch feels stiff or spring does not return
Check that the latch is not being squeezed by an overly tight mortice cavity and ensure the door frame strike plate is perfectly aligned.
Handles seem loose or wobbly
Verify that the bolt-through fixings are correctly engaged with the latch holes and that the mounting screws are tightened to the door surface.

Pros
- Compatible with levers on rose via bolt-through design
- Suitable for high-security fire door applications
- Modern aesthetic with matte black finish

Cons
- Requires professional morticing tools for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, you will need a 22mm spade bit to bore the hole for the tubular body and a chisel to recess the radius forend into the door edge. Ensure the strike plate is accurately aligned with the latch bolt for smooth operation.
- Compatibility: Designed for 76mm backset requirements; verify door thickness before purchase.
- Care: Maintain the black finish by wiping occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals which may strip the finish. Periodically check that screws remain tight to ensure handle stability.
