FAQs

Is this latch suitable for external doors?

No, this is a non-locking tubular latch designed exclusively for internal doors.

Can I use this on a fire-rated door?

Yes, this product is approved for use in 30-minute fire door assemblies.

What is included in the package?

The pack includes the 75mm latch barrel, the door strike plate, the latch plate, and all required fixing screws.

What does the 75mm measurement refer to?

The 75mm refers to the length of the latch case, which is the standard size for most internal door applications.

How do I maintain the finish?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that could damage the silver finish.

Troubleshooting

Latch does not retract smoothly

Check that the strike plate is aligned correctly with the latch tongue. Adjust the strike plate position if there is excessive friction.

Handle is loose after installation

Verify that the door handle spindle is correctly seated in the latch follower and ensure the fixing screws are fully tightened.

Door rattles when closed

Adjust the strike plate tab slightly to hold the door tighter against the frame stop.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets BS EN12209 industry standards
  • Suitable for 30-minute fire-rated internal doors
  • Includes all necessary installation hardware
  • Built for high-frequency daily operation
  • Professional-grade durability

Cons

  • Not suitable for doors requiring a locking function
  • Limited to internal door applications
  • Requires precise morticing during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard door mortice chisel or router to create the necessary recess for the latch body and the strike plate.

  1. Measure the backset carefully to ensure the latch aligns with your door handle spindle.
  2. Mark the door edge and chisel out the mortice recess.
  3. Secure the latch using the provided screws.
  4. Align and install the strike plate on the door frame, ensuring the latch tongue catches smoothly.

To maintain the mechanism, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the silver finish. A simple wipe with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth is sufficient to keep the hardware looking pristine. Periodically ensure the fixing screws remain tight to prevent any shifting during operation.
