Looking For Replacement Door Latch and Can't Find Online
Hello,
I am currently in the process of performing small cosmetic updates to my home and one of the items is to change out the following door latch from the old 90s brass to stain nickel.
Does anyone know what this latch is called? It measures 6" in length, but I can't seem to find the right term online to find a replacement. I'm guessing these are still made, but I can't seem to find anything online - presumably because my search terms are incorrect.
Personally, I've never been favorably impressed with a lot of the stuff from Amazon and tend to be leery of it. I'm not familiar with the brand in your link and will not comment on it.
The most important thing is to measure carefully to ensure you order the correct part.
Here is a brand I am familiar with and would recommend. The seller is the first one that appeared when I did a search on half-mortise flushbolt.
I am stumped how I can not put this deadbolt back on my door! its an older model kwikset double deadbolt. there are 2 long thin bolts that (I think!?!) should be inserted thru the 'inside cylinder mechanism" and then thread into the 'outside cylinder mechanism". however the sscrew holes dont align in a way that the key slots will be vertical on both sides. what am i missing!?!?
I should note, the inside part has an beefy circular plate that has 4 holes and it seems 2 smaller screws hold this plate to the inside cylinder mechanism. the other 2 holes are pass thru for the 2 long bolts. im not even sure what this 'extra' plate does.Read More
Hello,
We have a slam door lock which under normal operation, when we depress the latch and turn the key clockwise, the latch stays depressed. Lately, the latch is not staying depressed when we perform the above. Is there an adjustment to be made that will restore this functionality?
I have attached photos of the outside, inside and latch of the lock.
Thank you.
