Door Latches, also known as Door Catches, are the mechanical fasteners that join doors to another object or surface, to be closed while also allowing them to be opened when necessary. Door Latches usually engage with other hardware pieces on the matching mounting surface. Door Latches are not the same as Door or Window locks as they can be more easily opened and vary in complexity. Door Latches are often made of stainless steel, cast iron, zinc, or even plastic. The different types of Door Latches include the deadbolt latch, spring latch, draw latch, and slam hatch.

Why does a door latch typically fail?

A door latch can fail due to wear and tear, corrosion, or misalignment. It can also fail if the mechanism is damaged or broken. Additionally, the latch may not properly engage if the door or frame is warped or if the strike plate is not properly aligned.

Is a door latch the same as a door lock?

A door latch and a door lock are not the same thing. A door latch is a mechanism that holds the door closed, while a door lock is a mechanism that prevents the door from being opened without a key or code. A door latch can be used in conjunction with a door lock for added security. A latch can be operated by thumb turn or key and lock can be operated by key or code.

What are the parts of a door latch?

A door latch typically consists of a latch bolt, a latch plate, a strike plate, and a mechanism for activating the latch, such as a knob or lever. The latch bolt is the part that extends into the door frame to hold the door closed, the latch plate is the part that surrounds the latch bolt and helps guide it into the strike plate, and the strike plate is the part that is mounted on the door frame and receives the latch bolt.

Link S Door Latch
Scale illustration of the Link S Door Latch compared to other door latches

The first thing you will recognize in the Link S Door Latch is that it lacks parts/rosette. The lever too is relatively small but still, it retains its near oval design. These features make it take up a small space in a door. It was designed by Piero Lissoni and made of brass.

The Link S Door Latch has a height of 1.42” (36 mm), diameter of .91” (23 mm), and depth of .83” (21 mm).

Cubo S Door Latch
Comparison drawing of the Cubo S Door Latch compared to similar door latch sizes and shapes

The lack of parts in the Cubo S Door Latch makes it an eye-catcher. It also ensures it has a small profile. As a result, it takes little space in the door. It is made of brass. The shape of the lever (cube) guarantees users a firm grip.

The Cubo S Door Latch has a height of .91” (23 mm), width of .91” (23 mm), and depth of .91” (23 mm).

Space Door Latch
Style and size comparison drawing of the Space Door Latch compared to other door latch designs

The Space Door Latch is separated from other similar-looking latches in its group by the small rectangular lever. The parts are round. This contrast in shape gives it a modern twist rarely seen in other door latches. It is made of brass.

The Space Door Latch has a diameter of 1.85” (47 mm) and depth of 1.22” (31 mm). It is available with an optional lock indicator.
