FAQs

What does 'sprung furniture' mean in relation to this latch?

Sprung furniture refers to door handles or knobs that have a built-in spring mechanism. This spring helps to retract the latch bolt when the handle is operated and ensures the handle returns to its resting position. This latch is designed to work with that spring action.

Can I use this latch with door knobs that don't have a spring?

No, this latch is specifically designed for use with sprung furniture only. Using it with unsprung hardware will likely result in improper operation and potential damage.

What is the purpose of the bolt-through facility?

The bolt-through facility allows screws or bolts to pass directly through the door and the latch mechanism. This is essential for securely fixing lever handles that are mounted on a rose plate, ensuring a stable and robust installation.

What is included in the package?

The package typically includes the tubular mortise latch, the corresponding strike plate for the door frame, and all necessary fixing screws for installation.

How long is the guarantee for this product?

The Eurospec Tubular Mortice Latch comes with a 5-year mechanical guarantee, ensuring its durability and performance over time.

Is this latch suitable for external doors?

While durable, this latch is generally intended for internal use. For external doors, you should consider specialized external-grade locks and latches that offer greater weather resistance and security features.

What is the difference between the 64mm and 76mm options?

The numbers refer to the overall size of the latch case. The 64mm is a standard size, while the 76mm offers a longer case, which might be necessary for specific door preparations or for fitting with certain types of hardware.

Troubleshooting

Latch bolt does not retract fully.

Ensure the latch is correctly installed and not binding in the mortise. Verify that compatible sprung furniture is used and that the spindle is properly aligned.

Door does not close securely.

Check the alignment of the strike plate with the latch bolt. Adjust the strike plate position as needed. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing fully.

Latch is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the door and frame mortises are clean and free of debris. Lightly lubricate the latch mechanism with a suitable graphite-based lubricant if necessary. Confirm the correct sprung furniture is installed.

Fore end finish is tarnished.

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If tarnishing persists, it may be a sign of prolonged exposure to corrosive environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Prepare the door edge and frame according to the dimensions provided with the latch.

Attach the strike plate to the door frame.
