From The Anvil 76mm (3 Inch) Tubular Latches

3 Inch Tubular Mortice Latches for Levers and Knobs

The 3 inch, or 76mm, tubular latch is the one size From The Anvil recommends for both lever handles and knob sets. It has a 57mm backset, measured from the door edge to the centre of the spindle.

Choose the standard tubular latch for sprung lever handles, or the heavy duty latch for knob sets and unsprung levers. Most heavy duty latches are CERTIFIRE approved and fire tested to FD-20/30/60.

76mm (3 Inch) Tubular Latches: Questions

Which size latch do I need?

From The Anvil recommends a 2 1/2" or 3" latch with lever handles, and a 3", 4" or 5" latch with knob sets. If you are replacing a latch, measure the backset (from the door edge to the centre of the spindle hole) and match it: about 45mm for 2 1/2", 57mm for 3", 82mm for 4" and 107mm for 5".

Are these latches suitable for fire doors?

The heavy duty latches are. Most are CERTIFIRE approved (certificate CF5531) and fire tested to FD-20/30/60, and From The Anvil describes the Black, PVD Brass and Satin Stainless Steel heavy duty latches as suitable for 30/60 minute fire doors. The standard tubular latches are not fire rated.
