FAQs

Is this latch suitable for exterior doors?

No, the Golden Grace Bolt Through Sprung Lever Door Handle Tubular Latch is designed for internal doors only.

What does 'bolt through' mean for installation?

Bolt through means that screws pass directly through the door and the latch mechanism, providing a very secure and stable fixing for the door handles.

What is the backset measurement for this latch?

This tubular latch is designed for a 75mm backset, which is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the hole for the handle spindle.

Can I paint or finish the silver handles?

While it is possible, painting or altering the finish may void any warranty and could affect the smooth operation of the lever. It is generally recommended to keep the original silver finish.

How do I clean the silver finish without damaging it?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid using any abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or discolor the finish.

What is included with the latch mechanism?

Typically, a tubular latch includes the latch bolt mechanism, a strike plate for the door frame, and necessary screws. The handles and spindle are usually sold separately or as a set.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels stiff or difficult to operate

Check if the bolt-through screws are overtightened. Loosen them slightly. Ensure the latch mechanism is clean and lubricate with a light oil if necessary.

Latch does not retract fully

Verify that the tubular latch mechanism is correctly installed and not obstructed. Ensure the door is not warped or binding in the frame. Check for any debris within the latch mechanism.

Handle spins freely without engaging the latch

Ensure the spindle is correctly inserted through the latch mechanism and the handles. Confirm that the bolt-through screws are securely engaging the handle receivers.

Door does not close securely

Adjust the position of the strike plate on the door frame to ensure proper alignment with the latch bolt. Check that the latch bolt is extending fully when the door is closed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Measure Door Preparation: Ensure your door has the correct pre-drilled holes for a 75mm tubular latch and bolt-through handles. The backset (distance from the door edge to the center of the handle spindle hole) should be compatible with the 75mm latch.
  2. Install Latch Mechanism: Insert the tubular latch into the large mortise on the door edge, ensuring the bevelled side of the latch bolt faces the direction of closing. Secure the latch plate with screws.
  3. Install Handles: Place the lever handles on either side of the door, aligning them with the spindle. Insert the bolt-through screws through the handles and the door, engaging them with the threaded receivers on the opposite handle. Tighten securely but avoid overtightening.
  4. Attach Strike Plate: Install the strike plate on the door frame, ensuring it aligns with the latch bolt for proper engagement.

Compatibility:

  • This latch is designed for internal doors only.
  • Requires a 75mm backset latch mechanism.
  • Compatible with doors that have appropriate pre-drilled holes for bolt-through hardware.
  • Suitable for doors with a thickness range typically from 35mm to 45mm (refer to specific installation manual if available).

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the silver finish.
  • Periodically check that screws remain tight to maintain optimal performance and security.
  • Lubricate the latch mechanism with a light household oil if stiffness develops over time.
