Emtek LC4-PAS28B275-B 28 Degree Brass Passage Latch

Product Description

The EMTEK LC4-PAS28B275-B is a 28-degree brass passage latch designed for interior door installations where a non-locking, free-passage function is required. This latch features a 2-3/4 inch backset and ships without a faceplate, allowing the installer to use the existing door prep faceplate or source a compatible strike separately. The angled 28-degree latch bolt is suited for doors that are not perfectly square or for applications where a smoother engagement with the strike plate is needed. Installers working on residential or light commercial interior doors will find this latch straightforward to fit into standard door edge bores.

This passage latch is intended for interior doors where no locking function is required, such as hallways, closets, and living spaces. The 2-3/4 inch backset is a common dimension for doors prepped to standard residential specifications. Because the unit ships less faceplate, it is well suited to replacement or retrofit jobs where the original faceplate remains in the door edge and only the latch mechanism needs to be swapped out.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, locksmith, or general contractor. Verify the door edge bore and backset measurement before installation to confirm compatibility with the existing door prep. Because this unit ships without a faceplate, ensure the existing faceplate mortise dimensions match the latch body before proceeding. Follow all applicable building codes for door hardware installation in the jurisdiction of the project.
