Description
This backset tubular latch chute assembly is a 1-3/4″ replacement part. It is the standard and most popular tubular latch for the majority of manufactured chute doors, so it is a reliable choice when you need a common replacement that fits right the first time.
How the Backset Tubular Latch Works
The tubular latch engages the door frame to hold the intake door closed until the handle is turned. As a result, it keeps your chute door secure during everyday use. Moreover, the 1-3/4″ backset is a widely used dimension, so this part fits many standard door layouts found in apartment and commercial buildings.
Fits Bottom and Side Hinged Doors
This replacement latch is ideal for both bottom-hinged and side-hinged laundry or trash chute intake doors. Therefore, it works across a wide range of building configurations. In addition, it is a straightforward, proven part that helps keep your intake door operating smoothly for years of daily service.
Works With Multiple Handle Types
This part fits both T-handles and thumb latch trigger handles. Because of this flexibility, it pairs with most common chute door hardware. Please compare the 1-3/4″ backset dimension to your current latch to be sure of the fit before you order, since that small check avoids returns.
