Prime-Line E 2772 Passage Door Latch, 9/32 In. and 1/4 In. Square Drive, Classic Bronze (Single Pack)

Needed to replace a door latch in my house.Works well.Does what it's supposed to do.

Well made and fits many old & antique door latches & locks. Not the easiest to find, but this one, looks and works well. It is well made and attractively carded & an extra one is now hanging in my shop.

Was glad to find these .I have some nice antique fired clay(benningtons I think) knobs and latch sets but I didn't want to mortise the doors to use the old latch sets. These seemed to fit the bill perfectly but I was a little concerned because many reviews mentioned older hardware was often not dimensionaly compatible with the new latches so I checked my doorknob shaft and it was close , but definetly smaller than the stated shaft hole of the new latch. I got them and began installing them and they would not slide into the hole . The stated hole dimensions are simply not accurate. Happy ending though as some minimal filing of the old shafts, especially taking off the sharp square corners fixed the problem. I would estimate I filed off about 1/64 "(just a little off each of the 4 sides) for each shaft to fit perfectly so I am quite satisfied , despite the extra work.They slide in and out smoothly with no play. It took probably 5 to 10 minutes to fit each one.They are very high quality latches, and very reasonably priced. If you need to modify your hardware to make them work this is the way I would do it as the old shaft metal will be much softer then the new latch hole metal(if you're thinking of enlarging the hole instead, as it will be hardened steel). A grinder would have been faster but I wanted to take off a minimal amont of meatal. This might not work for everyone but I wanted to include it in the review because so many reviews mentioned this very issue. I'm really happy as I now have some very nice installed knob sets that would probably be $75 dollars if bought new, and I've got just the price of the new latches, about $12 each, into the project as the old knobs were salvage from discarded doors.Took one star off not because the manufaturers latches didn'tfit my 100 year old stuff, which I can understand, but because as several other reviewers have stated, the new latch hole dimensions are not stated accurately.

I have a door at a historic home that this part's spring broke. I tried several hardware stores and no luck. I found this on Amazon and the dimensions matched. It fit just right in the door and now it will stay shut. So glad I found this.

This fit perfectly and seems well made

All seems good and price is great; it didn’t fit our door.

The sketch currently shown as a product photo by Amazon (see my own pic) is accurate for what I received -- a 9/32 spindle is the largest it will accommodate. The product title ("9/32 in. & 5/16 in.") is contradictory and wrong. This worked fine for me, as reviewers had already pointed it out and 9/32 was what I needed. In fact it was a tight 9/32. With a digital caliper, my spindle measured a rather small 9/32. Even at that, the spindle had to be tapped into the socket with a hammer. That was fine, metal was soft. After a few taps in and out, I had a good fit. The latch itself is well designed and well manufactured, works smoothly. Would buy it again.

The house is from 1903, not sure when the door was put in but the bore hole was only 3/4” and this latch was the perfect size. It’s nice to keep the original doorknob as the spindle and handles were in good condition, and I didn’t have to change the bore hole. Seems pretty sturdy and was super easy to install.

Buen producto, conforme.

The media could not be loaded. Fit perfectly without alterations. Looks period correct for the 1908 french door

I went out on a limb with this purchase not knowing for sure if these would actually fit on my old custom pine doors. Well they did work and are great quality. Will buy again if needed.

Had to return because the offset did not match the center of the existing doorknob hole in my door. Really wish that it was the adjustable kind, or that they had the other standard size.

I have an older door from around the late 1800s to early 1900s, all thick and heavy wood, the latch hole was cut out wrong and previous home owners just decided not to ever fix it because who cares about privacy? Any way I managed to get it in the door and attached a fluted door knob, works great although I suggest having proper tools before installation, it’s not hard but to help prevent damage to your door it’s probably best you do some research first.
