Pamex DD0430 Temporary Door Latch 4 Inches

Product Description

The PAMEX DD0430 is a temporary door latch designed to hold a door in a latched position during construction, renovation, or pre-installation stages before permanent hardware is installed. Known in the trade as a construction latch or temporary latch, this type of hardware lets framers, finish carpenters, and general contractors keep doors functional and secure before finish locksets are fitted. The DD0430 measures 4 inches in length, 1.8 inches in width, and 0.9 inches in height, making it a compact, low-profile device suited for standard residential and light commercial door preps.

This latch is used on residential and commercial construction sites where doors need to close and stay latched during the build phase. It is typically installed by carpenters or general contractors as a jobsite convenience item. The unit is sold individually and is well suited for new construction door installations where the finish hardware will be installed at a later stage. It fits into standard door edge preps and requires no permanent modification to the door.

Always verify the door edge prep dimensions match the latch body before installation. Remove and replace with a rated finish lockset before the project reaches final inspection.
