Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Latch Door Handle?
What is a Latch Door Handle?
A Latch Door Handle is designed for doors that don’t require locking. It operates a spring-loaded latch, making it perfect for internal doors like living rooms, hallways, and kitchens.
Do I need a specific latch size?
Do I need a specific latch size?
Yes. For most door handles on backplates, the recommended size is a 2.5-inch tubular mortice latch, which suits the handle length and standard UK internal doors. However, in some cases—such as when fitting onto fire doors or doors with deeper casings—a 3-inch latch may be required to ensure the handle clears the door edge comfortably. Always check individual product listings or speak to our team if you’re unsure.
Can I convert a latch door handle into a locking handle later?
Can I convert a latch door handle into a locking handle later?
Yes, it’s possible to replace your existing latch door handles with a locking backplate handle or a bathroom backplate handle, but there are a couple of things to consider:
- You’ll need to install a mortice lock within the door, which will require some joinery work to cut the lock body into the door edge and the strike plate into the frame.
- Some door handle ranges offer a privacy version, which locks the latch by turning a built-in thumb turn—this means no major door alterations are required.
If you’re unsure which solution is best, or you’d like to browse matching styles, take a look at our Lock Door Handles on Backplate and Bathroom Door Handles on Backplate collections.

Are these handles suitable for external doors?
Are these handles suitable for external doors?
While latch handles are primarily designed for internal doors, they can technically be fitted to external doors where no lock is required. However, for security purposes, we always recommend using a suitable locking handle on external doors.
