The standard budget tubular mortice latch is the most commonly used latch for lever handles on backplates and the most common size used for standard internal doors is the 63mm body latch.  A 63mm body latch, has a handle backset of 44mm.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS LATCH DOES NOT HAVE BACK TO BACK FIXING HOLES AND IS THEREFORE NOT SUITABLE FOR MANY OF OUR LEVERS ON ROSE.  CHOOSE THE ECLIPSE TUBULAR MORTICE LATCH AS AN ECONOMICAL ALTERNATIVE.

Electro Brass or Bright Nickel Plated

The forend and strike of the standard latch is finished in either electro brass or bright nickel plate to co-ordinate with other items on the door.  Florentine bronze and black latches are available to special order, please contact customer services for advice.

Where and When to Use

The budget tubular latch is best suited to lever handles on backplate, which are sprung.  The cost of the handles will generally determine the quality of the latch fitted to the door and in our opinion this latch would not be suitable for levers on roses, as it does not have back to back fixing holes, and for the more expensive levers on backplate.  If in doubt, please call customer servives to discuss the most approriate latch to suit any pair of lever handles or knobs.
