FAQs
What are the dimensions of the latch?
The main body of the latch measures approximately 75mm x 45mm.
Can this be used outdoors?
While it is designed for bathroom environments, it is best suited for interior use. If used outdoors, regular cleaning is required to prevent weathering.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, the product includes all necessary screws required for installation.
Is this latch suitable for a heavy-duty pet gate?
Yes, it is strong enough for most household pet gates, provided it is mounted to a solid frame.
How do I keep the silver finish looking new?

Troubleshooting
Latch feels stiff when sliding
Check that the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the plate, or verify that the keeper plate is perfectly aligned with the latch bolt.
Latch does not stay in the locked position
Ensure the latch is mounted level. If it continues to slip, check that the mounting surface is flat and the screws are secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Spira Brass Bathroom Latch is straightforward for those with basic tools. Use a drill or screwdriver to mount the main body and the keeper plate to your desired surface. Ensure the latch is positioned so that the slide moves freely without binding. For compatibility, it is best suited for wooden doors or frames. To maintain the finish, wipe the latch occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove soap scum or mineral deposits. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the silver finish over time.
