Product Information

Full details

The Timco Economy Tubular Latch is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, cost-effective hardware solution for internal doors in domestic or light-use commercial settings. Its primary benefit is providing smooth, consistent operation for sprung lever handles while offering a classic aesthetic through its durable bronze finish. While it is perfect for standard door preparations, users should note that its Grade 1 corrosion rating limits its installation to dry, low-humidity indoor environments, making it unsuitable for bathrooms or high-moisture areas.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this latch suitable for a bathroom door?

No. The Timco Economy Tubular Latch has a Grade 1 corrosion rating and is not designed for the moisture levels found in bathrooms.

What tools do I need to install this?

You will need a drill with spade bits, a chisel for the faceplate and strike plate, and a screwdriver.

Does this latch come with a strike plate?

Yes, each unit includes a matching bronze finish strike plate and the necessary countersunk screws.

What is the backset dimension?

The backset is 45mm, which is standard for most internal residential doors in the UK.

Can I use this with non-sprung handles?

It is highly recommended to use well-sprung lever handles to ensure the latch functions correctly over time.

What is the case depth?

The case depth is 67mm.

Troubleshooting

Latch does not retract smoothly

Ensure the handle used is 'well-sprung'. If the door handle is not returning, the latch may feel stiff.

Latch sticks or hangs in the strike plate

Check that the strike plate is perfectly aligned with the latch bolt and that the wood recess is deep enough to prevent friction.

Door rattles when closed

Adjust the strike plate tab slightly to increase tension on the latch bolt when the door is in the closed position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective solution for multiple door projects
  • Straightforward installation process
  • Classic bronze aesthetic fits many interiors
  • Standard dimensions for easy compatibility

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms
  • Limited to internal use only
  • Requires well-sprung handles for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill with the appropriate spade bit for the case depth and a chisel for the strike plate and faceplate recesses. Ensure the door handle chosen is 'well-sprung' to allow the latch to return to the locked position effectively. Compatibility is high for standard UK interior doors; however, verify your current door thickness and existing bore position before installation. For care, keep the latch moving freely by occasionally applying a light silicone-based lubricant if the mechanism feels stiff. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the bronze finish, as these can strip the plating; instead, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
