FAQs
Is this latch suitable for external doors?
No, this latch is specifically designed for internal wooden doors and is not intended for high-security external door applications.
Can I use this with any door handle?
It is best used with lever-on-rose handles that support bolt-through fixings, but it is also compatible with standard screw-fixed door furniture.
What is the warranty coverage?
The operating mechanism is covered by a 5-year guarantee provided by the manufacturer.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, all necessary fixing screws for both the latch and the strike plate are included in the package.
How do I measure for a replacement?
Measure the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the handle hole (backset) and ensure it matches the 63mm width provided by this unit.
Troubleshooting
The door is not latching shut securely
Check the alignment of the strike plate on the door frame. You may need to slightly adjust the position or depth of the strike plate recess to ensure the tongue engages fully.
The door handle feels loose
Ensure that the handle fixings are passing through the bolt-through holes provided on the latch body and are tightened securely.
The latch tongue sticks
Clean away any debris or wood shavings from the mortice cavity and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the spring mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable, smooth latching mechanism
- Professional-looking nickel-plated finish
- Includes all necessary fixings for quick installation
- Backed by a 5-year mechanical guarantee
- Standardized sizing for easy retrofitting
Cons
- Limited to internal wooden door applications
- Silver finish may not match all brass or black hardware sets
- Requires precise drilling if replacing a different size latch
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this latch, ensure you have a 63mm mortice slot prepared in the edge of your wooden door. If you are replacing an existing latch, check that the new unit matches the depth of the previous hole.
- Insert the latch into the door edge and mark the faceplate position.
- Chisel out the recess so the faceplate sits flush with the wood.
- Secure the latch using the provided screws.
- Install the strike plate into the door frame, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the latch tongue.
For care and maintenance, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the nickel-plated finish. A soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient for dusting. If the latch begins to feel stiff after several years, a light spray of silicone-based lubricant inside the mechanism can help restore smooth operation.
