## Description

These passage door latches are constructed of steel and come in a brass plated finish. This latch is designed for indoor use only, and it functions with the use of a spring-loaded square drive spindle at a maximum width and height of 9/32 inch. It is used with antique and vintage door hardware and it features a 2-3/8 inch backset. The latch includes a latch strike and fasteners, but it does NOT include any of the following components and they must be purchased separately: The door knobs, square spindle and rosettes. Note #1: The square drive on this latch has a 9/32 inch opening and a 1/4 inch opening. The maximum square spindle size that this latch will accommodate is 9/32 inch Note #2: This item cannot be used on pre-bored doors that have large, newer style door knob holes without first prepping them to receive this hardware. Installation tip #1: Because the fasteners of the rosettes (purchased separately) require a solid surface to mount to, the large 2-1/8 inch (approximate size) holes must first be filled with a hardening filler, to then be able to receive the rosette fasteners. Products like Fix-It-All® and Bondo Body Filler® have worked well for some, but care must be used to avoid damaging any prefinished door surfaces during application and finishing. Installation tip #2: Apply a small amount of Loctite ThreadLocker 271® to the set screw threads in the event they are loosening – Loctite® purchased separately.

Review: 9/32 vs. 5/8 - The sketch currently shown as a product photo by desertcart (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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement for original Baldwin

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works to retrofit antique hardware on modern doors.
*by J***N on October 16, 2025*

I found a bunch of old porcelain knobs and mortise plates in my father's shed after he passed away last year. I tucked them away thinking that I'd make a coat hanger or craft with them. I purchased a home this summer with old dated and dinged up brass knobs from the early 1990s and decided to try to retrofit my dad's door hardware to replace them. I tried to reuse the existing strikes and they sort of worked, but had a lot of wobble in the knob. I accidentally found these Prime line strikes looking for a different piece of door hardware. They looked promising and the price was great, so I ordered two to see if they would work. Surprisingly they did. My old square shank pin slid right through the center. I didn't have to file like other reviewers did but I was prepared to do so. Out of curiosity I tried a threaded pin in the Prime line shaft and it would not work, so I would not recommend this with that type of knob shank. The only reason that I gave this a 4 star review instead of 5 was because of the size of the catch itself. It's definitely smaller than a typical door latch but does line up in the strike plate correctly. This works well for old mortise hardware on a newer cylinder bored door.
