Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size door hole is needed for this latch?

The latch case requires a mortise of 79.5mm x 20mm. The backset is 57.5mm, meaning the centre of the spindle hole should be 57.5mm from the door's edge.

Does this latch come with door handles?

No, this is a tubular latch mechanism. Door handles, spindles, and escutcheons must be purchased separately.

Can this latch be used on an exterior door?

This latch is primarily designed for domestic interior applications. It is not recommended for exterior doors where security and weather resistance are critical.

What maintenance does this latch require?

Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure smooth operation by keeping the door and frame aligned.

What is the bolt throw of this latch?

The bolt throw measurement is not applicable for this specific tubular latch model, as it is a sprung latch designed for closure rather than locking.

What is the colour family of this latch?

The colour family is Bronze, with a finish described as Electro Brass.

Troubleshooting

Door handle feels stiff or doesn't return to position

Check that the door handle spindle is correctly aligned with the latch mechanism and not binding. Ensure the latch mechanism itself is clean and free from debris. Lubricate the spindle passage if necessary.

Latch bolt doesn't retract fully

Verify that the latch case is correctly seated and that no part of the mechanism is obstructed. Ensure the door handle is being turned sufficiently to operate the latch fully.

Latch bolt doesn't extend fully

Check for obstructions in the latch case or on the strike plate. Ensure the door is not warped or binding in the frame, which might prevent full engagement.

Latch makes a loud noise when closing

Ensure the strike plate is aligned correctly with the latch bolt. Soften the closing action by checking door hinges and frame alignment.
