Frequently Asked Questions

• What does a 127mm backset mean?
  It refers to the distance from the door edge to the centre of the handle or spindle hole, allowing for deeper set door furniture.
• Will this latch suit standard door handles?
  Yes. It suits door furniture designed for an 8mm spindle.
• What is a common installation mistake to avoid?
  Using the wrong backset length can result in misaligned handles or incorrect door preparation.

Additional Information

• Longer backset tubular latches are commonly used where door handles are positioned further from the door edge.
• Often specified in architectural or retrofit applications where handle positioning must match existing hardware.
• Stainless steel latch tongue improves durability in high-use environments.
• Ensure door preparation matches the fixed backset before installation.
