Product Information

Full details

The TIMCO Architectural Tubular Latch is a high-performance hardware solution ideal for contractors and homeowners looking to upgrade internal doors in high-traffic commercial or residential settings. Its primary benefit is a robust spring mechanism that provides a reliable, long-lasting action for both sprung and unsprung door furniture. While it offers excellent durability and fire-door compatibility, users should note that the bronze finish is intended for internal, low-humidity environments to prevent premature wear or corrosion.

FAQs

Is this latch suitable for bathroom doors?

This is a tubular latch, not a bathroom lock. It does not have a follower for a bathroom thumb turn.

Can I use this on an external door?

No, the bronze finish is not rated for external weather conditions and may corrode.

Does it come with a strike plate?

Yes, the package includes the latch, dust box, and necessary fixing screws for a complete installation.

What is the backset distance?

The backset is 45mm.

Is it reversible for left and right doors?

Yes, the latch bolt can be reversed easily to accommodate any door handing.

Troubleshooting

Handle sagging after installation

Ensure the handle is compatible with the latch spring tension; if the handle is very heavy, ensure the bolt-through fixings are tightened securely.

Latch bolt will not retract fully

Check the alignment of the strike plate on the door frame. Misalignment can cause the bolt to bind against the metal plate.

Door rattles when closed

Adjust the strike plate tab slightly inward to ensure the latch bolt holds the door tightly against the door stop.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with both sprung and unsprung handles
  • Suitable for 30 and 60-minute fire doors
  • Easy installation with reversible latch bolt
  • Integrated bolt-through holes for secure handle mounting
  • Durable architectural-grade construction

Cons

  • Not suitable for external doors exposed to high humidity
  • Limited to specific backset/case sizes
  • Bronze finish requires careful handling during installation to avoid scratching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, mark the door edge at the desired height—typically 1000mm from the floor—and drill the required hole for the latch body and the mortice for the forend plate. Ensure the latch bolt is facing the correct direction; if not, pull the bolt head out slightly, rotate it 180 degrees, and release.

Compatibility Note: This latch is compatible with doors requiring a 45mm backset. Ensure your door furniture includes bolt-through fixings, as these will align perfectly with the holes provided on the latch case.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean periodically with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical polishes which may damage the bronze finish.
  • Keep in dry, low-humidity environments to maintain the integrity of the metal.
