The From The Anvil Tubular Mortice Latch is an essential hardware component designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure internal doors with style. Its primary benefit is the seamless integration with sprung lever handles, providing smooth door operation and reliable longevity thanks to its solid construction. One caveat is that users must verify the specific backset requirements for their doors, as this model is specifically sized at 2.5 inches, which may not be suitable for all door depths or knob configurations.

This 2.5-inch latch is primarily intended for lever handles. For knob sets, we generally recommend 3, 4, or 5-inch latches to ensure sufficient hand clearance.
No, this is a standard tubular mortice latch specifically designed for internal door applications.
This product comes with a 5-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Yes, it is supplied with matching stainless steel wood screws for installation.
The dimensions are H:5.8 x W:2.7 x D:6.6 cm.
Yes, the bronze finish is designed for durability in interior environments, though regular wiping with a dry cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance.
Check that the door is not warped and that the latch plate is perfectly aligned with the strike plate on the door frame.
Verify that the latch is properly secured in the mortice and that the spindle hole is correctly aligned with the lever handle.
To ensure correct installation, first mark the center of the door edge and drill the required aperture to house the latch body. For sprung lever handles, this 2.5-inch model provides the ideal reach. If you are upgrading from an existing latch, check that the existing mortice cut-out matches the dimensions of this unit.
Care instructions are minimal: occasionally wipe the visible faceplate with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective bronze finish over time. Periodically check that the stainless steel wood screws remain tight, especially during the first few months after installation, as timber can settle with changes in humidity.
