National Mfg N178-392 Push Button Latch Satin Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N178-392 is a satin black push button latch designed for wood or metal screen and storm doors. It features a one-piece shaft that delivers firm, consistent push button action with every use. The unit includes an anti-lockout design to prevent accidental lockouts, and the inside latch incorporates a double lock deadbolt for added entry security. Suitable for doors ranging from 1.25 inches to 2 inches thick, this latch is a direct hardware replacement for screen and storm door applications where a reliable, finished-look latch mechanism is required.

This latch is intended for residential screen doors and storm doors constructed from wood or metal. It is sized for doors with 1.75 inch hole spacing and accommodates door thicknesses from 1.25 inches to 2 inches. Installation requires pan machine screws sized 8-32 x 2.375 inches, which are not included. The satin black finish suits darker door hardware schemes and complements common storm door hardware finishes. Each package contains 3 pieces, making it practical for multi-door jobs or as a supply-stock item.
