Hello,
I live in a house built around 40 years ago and one of the original mortis latches on an internal door needs replacing.
The original is about 3" in depth and so I bought the modern equivalent of 75/80mm.
At first the new latch appears identical, however it is not quite the same. On the original mortis latch the hole for the through handle bar is about 4mm deeper into the door. So if I use the new latch I will need to reposition the handles and repaint the door.
Is the original an old imperial standard from 40 years ago, and if so are they still available?
Thanks
