Tubular Mortice Latch for Door Knobs 60mm and 70mm Adjustable

The quiet, dependable heart of a beautiful door — the part you never see but feel with every turn.

This is the tubular mortice latch made to partner turning glass and ceramic knobs on internal doors. The spring mechanism is smooth and unhurried, so the latch catches and releases with a soft, weighted click rather than a rattle — the difference between a door that merely closes and one that feels properly made. Everything you need to fit it neatly is in the box, and the hardware is honest and hard-wearing.

Sink it into the edge of the door, pair it with a set of turning knobs, and it simply disappears into the woodwork — doing its work quietly for decades. It is the unglamorous but essential companion to a good knob, and it is worth getting right.

Works well in: period paneled doors behind ceramic or glass knobs, cottage and farmhouse bedrooms and bathrooms, and boot rooms or hallways where you want a smooth, quiet action on a well-used door painted in soft white or gray.

Sizing: Adjustable 60mm or 70mm backset, so it fits the two most common knob positions. Compatible with 8mm spindles and standard turning glass or ceramic knobs. Supplied with a satin-zinc curved strike plate, a dust-socket back box, and fixing screws. It can be used as a latch or as a lock — cover the latch pin with the strike plate to use it as a lock.
