Emtek LC4-PRV28B237-B Privacy Latch 28 Degree 2-3/8 in

Product Description

The EMTEK LC4-PRV28B237-B is a 28-degree gold privacy latch designed for interior door applications where privacy function is required without a full lockset. This latch features a 2-3/8 inch backset and ships without a faceplate, making it suitable for installations where a separate faceplate is specified or already on hand. The angled 28-degree latch bolt geometry supports smooth door engagement in standard residential door prep. At 0.15 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for new construction or replacement hardware projects managed by carpenters, locksmiths, or finish hardware installers.

This privacy latch is intended for interior doors where occupancy indication or basic privacy is needed, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, or home offices. The 2-3/8 inch backset is a standard dimension that fits most pre-bored interior door slabs. The less-faceplate configuration allows the installer to use a separate or existing faceplate, giving flexibility when working with non-standard door prep or matching an existing hardware finish. Sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, locksmith, or experienced hardware installer. Ensure the door stile is pre-bored to the correct diameter and that the backset measurement is confirmed before ordering, as backset is not field-adjustable on this latch. Because this unit ships without a faceplate, a compatible faceplate must be sourced separately and mortised flush with the door edge per standard practice. Follow all applicable local building codes for interior door hardware installation.
