Full details
The Securit Bolt Through Mortice Latch is an essential hardware component for homeowners and contractors looking to secure internal wooden doors with a reliable, classic aesthetic. This latch offers a robust, brass-plated mechanism designed for consistent daily operation and easy installation, though it is specifically engineered for internal doors and should not be used on exterior doors requiring heavy-duty security.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this on an exterior door?
No, this latch is specifically designed for internal wooden doors and does not provide the security features required for external doors.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, the package includes all the necessary fixings for a standard installation.
What is the warranty period?
The product includes a 5-year guarantee covering the operating mechanism.
What does 'bolt through' mean?
It means the latch has specific holes designed to allow bolts from the door handles to pass through the latch body, creating a very secure connection between the handles on either side of the door.
How do I clean the bronze finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can damage the plating.
Troubleshooting
The door is not latching properly.
Check that the strike plate on the door frame is aligned with the latch tongue. You may need to adjust the position of the strike plate or remove a small amount of wood from the recess.
The handle feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure that the bolt-through screws are tightened correctly through the pre-punched holes in the latch mechanism.
The latch is difficult to turn.
Check that the door is not binding against the frame. If the door is properly fitted, apply a small amount of lubricant to the latch bolt.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the latch, use a spade bit to drill a hole into the door edge at the appropriate height. Once the latch is inserted, mark and chisel the faceplate so that it sits flush with the door edge. The strike plate should be installed in the door frame, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the latch tongue.
Compatibility: This latch is compatible with most standard door handles that accept a bolt-through mechanism.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe the latch plate periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the brass-plated bronze finish. If the latch becomes stiff over time, a small amount of light machine oil applied to the moving parts can restore smooth operation.
