The Timco Tubular Latch in Bronze is an essential hardware solution for homeowners and professional contractors seeking a reliable, medium-duty latch for internal timber doors. Its primary benefit is the extended backset, which allows for a deeper handle position and smoother interaction, making it perfect for sprung lever handles. While highly versatile, users should note that this latch is specifically engineered for clean, dry, low-humidity internal environments and is not suitable for damp or exterior settings.

No, this product is designed specifically for clean, dry, low-humidity internal environments.
This latch is optimized for use with sprung lever handles; using it with non-sprung handles may cause the handle to sag.
It is suitable for use on both 30-minute and 60-minute timber fire doors.
Yes, the product comes complete with a matching strike plate, dust box, and fixing screws.
It refers to the holes in the latch case that allow handle bolts to pass directly through the door, providing a much more stable and secure handle mount.
Check that the faceplate is perfectly flush with the door edge and the strike plate is aligned correctly with the bolt.
Ensure that your handle set is using the bolt-through fixings that pass through the latch housing.
Verify that the mortise hole is deep enough for the extended case and free of wood chips or debris.
Installation requires a standard door latch bore. Ensure your door thickness is appropriate for the latch size and that you are using a sharp wood chisel to recess the faceplate flush with the door edge. The included dust box should be installed behind the strike plate to prevent debris from falling into the latch cavity, which keeps the operation smooth.
To care for your latch, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the electro-brass finish. If the door action becomes stiff over time, a tiny amount of dry lubricant applied to the bolt head is usually sufficient. Keep the latch in low-humidity environments to prevent the internal springs from corroding or seizing.
