Internal door not latching shut? A worn or broken tubular latch is a common cause. A tubular mortice latch fits into a round hole drilled into the edge of the door and is worked by the door handle.
We stock the ERA tubular mortice latch for internal doors. Check the size of your old latch before you order.
Measure from the edge of the door to the centre of the handle spindle. Compare it with the listing.
Take the old latch out and measure its overall length.
Measure the plate on the edge of the door, and note whether it has square or round ends.
Check the spindle size of your handles matches the latch.
Remove the door handles, unscrew the faceplate and slide the old latch out of the edge of the door. Slide the new latch in with the angled side of the latch bolt facing the way the door closes, screw it in and refit the handles.
A tubular latch has a round body that fits into a drilled hole. A sashlock or box mortice latch has a rectangular case and needs a slot cut into the door.
No. Tubular latches are for internal doors.
