The From The Anvil 3 inch tubular mortice latch is an essential hardware component designed for homeowners and contractors looking for a reliable mechanism for internal sprung lever handles. This robust latch offers smooth door operation and includes specific bolt-through fixings for easy hardware installation; however, it is strictly intended for internal doors and should not be used on exterior doors requiring high-security locking.

No, this is a standard tubular mortice latch designed specifically for internal doors and does not provide the security required for exterior entryways.
This latch has a 57mm backset, measured from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole.
Yes, standard installation requires the included strike plate to be fitted to the door frame.
Yes, this model features specific bolt-through holes, making it fully compatible with modern lever-on-rose handles that require bolt-through fixings.
The silver finish is designed for internal use. It is not rated for constant exposure to rain, salt air, or extreme humidity.
Verify that your lever handle is 'sprung'. If the handle is un-sprung, the latch spring may not be strong enough to support the weight of the lever.
Check the alignment of the strike plate on the door frame and ensure the latch is centered correctly.
Installation requires a morticer or a sharp wood chisel to recess the latch body into the door edge. Ensure the backset aligns with your chosen handle position before cutting. This latch is compatible with most standard internal door thicknesses. For care, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the silver finish. If the latch begins to feel stiff over time, applying a small amount of light spray lubricant to the tongue mechanism will restore its original smooth functionality.
