Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this latch suitable for external doors?

No, this is specifically designed as an internal door latch and does not include locking capabilities for security.

Can I use this on a fire door?

Yes, this product is approved in accordance with BS EN12209 and is suitable for 30-minute fire door assemblies.

What is included in the box?

Each pack contains 4 sets of the internal door mechanism, strike plates, latch plates, barrels, and all necessary fixing screws.

Is the 65mm measurement the overall length?

The 65mm typically refers to the backset or the length from the forend to the center of the spindle hole, which is standard for most internal doors.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill with wood bits, a chisel for recessing plates, a screwdriver, and a measuring tape.

Does this require special maintenance?

General upkeep involves occasional cleaning with a damp cloth and lubricating the bolt mechanism if it feels stiff.

Troubleshooting

Latch does not retract fully

Check that the spindle is not misaligned and the spring mechanism is not obstructed by debris or sawdust in the mortice.

Door rattles when closed

Adjust the strike plate position or check if the tongue of the latch is making proper contact with the strike box.

Latch feels gritty during operation

Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the latch bolt and ensure no paint or finish has entered the mechanism during door installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for 30-minute fire door use
  • Convenient 4-set pack for multiple doors
  • Durable construction with 20 years of brand expertise
  • Includes all necessary fixtures and fittings
  • Smooth latching operation

Cons

  • Specific 65mm size may not fit all existing mortice holes
  • Limited to internal doors without locking requirements
  • Square forend requires precise morticing during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a chisel for the forend and strike plate, and a drill for the spindle and barrel holes.

  1. Measure the door thickness to ensure the 65mm latch is appropriate.
  2. Mark the centerline of the latch on the door edge.
  3. Drill the appropriate hole size for the barrel assembly.
  4. Chisel out the recess for the square forend to ensure it sits flush with the door edge.
  5. Secure using the provided screws.

For maintenance, avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may degrade the bronze finish. If the latch becomes stiff, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant inside the mechanism will restore smooth performance.
