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

Product Description

The EMTEK LC4-PRV28B237-C is a 28-degree silver privacy latch designed for interior door applications where a turn-button or thumbturn lockout function is required without a keyed cylinder. The latch ships without a faceplate, allowing installers to use the existing door prep faceplate or select a matching faceplate separately. With a 2-3/8 inch backset, this latch fits the most common door bore spacing found in residential construction. It measures 3.25 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and 1 inch in height, and weighs 0.15 pounds, making it straightforward to handle and install in standard door hardware prep.

This privacy latch is suited for interior doors in residential applications such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and other spaces requiring basic privacy lockout without emergency-key access. The 28-degree latch angle is engineered to work with specific Emtek handleset and rose configurations. Installers working on new construction or retrofitting existing doors will find the 2-3/8 inch backset compatible with the most widely used door-prep dimensions. The less-faceplate design gives contractors the flexibility to match an existing mortise faceplate finish already installed in the door edge.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or locksmith and requires a properly prepped door with a standard cross-bore and latch-bore mortise. Power down any electric strike or access control hardware before beginning work on the door assembly. Verify that the door-edge mortise dimensions match the latch body before installation, as this unit ships less faceplate and requires a separately sourced or reused faceplate. Follow applicable local building codes and the manufacturer assembly instructions for handleset-to-latch alignment.
