Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation involves mortising the door to recess the latch case and the forend plate. The included screws should be used to secure the latch mechanism and the strike plate on the door frame. Ensure the latch bolt is oriented correctly for the door's swing direction.
Compatibility: This tubular mortice latch is designed specifically for use with sprung lever door handles. It is intended for interior doors only and is not suitable for doors that require a locking mechanism or are exposed to external elements. Verify that the backset measurement of your door preparation matches the dimensions of this latch.
Care: To maintain the finish and ensure smooth operation, clean the latch occasionally with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the matt black coating. Periodically check that screws remain tight and that the latch bolt moves freely.
