6-Way Replacement Square Spindle Entry Door Latch, Fits Emblem Series Locksets, Satin Nickel – Design House, 582189

I purchased this for $9.19 to replace the latch assembly in my Wright lockset. My door is common, 1 3/4 inches thick, 2 3/8 inch backset, 1 inch round role and the existing lockset used a square spindle. This latch assembly is for a square spindle. That's important. It was easy to install and fit perfectly. There were some minor differences with this lockset compared to the lockset it was replacing. My "Wright" lockset requires close to a quarter turn to open the door. This lockset only requires 1/8th turn. The "Wright" lockset had a stiffer spring. This lockset turns with less force. I think this one is easier to operate and I prefer the feel. I can't review durability or reliability and I don't have any other locksets to compare it to but for now 5 stars.

It was a slight bigger but that was easy to fix it to fit. I'm very pleased

Decently made unit which does exactly what it is supposed to.

This was easy to install and worked fine, but unfortunately for us it was our door handle that was the problem, not the latch, so this didn’t solve our problem. However we will hang on to it, just in case, as for the low price it’s not worth the effort to return. Our front door had a Schlage handle/lock/latch on it, and this was a fine substitute.Edited to add that this would have been a fine replacement for the Schlage latch that we had, where the inside handle had screws on the left and right side of the handle, not on the top and bottom. I only say this because the replacement exterior door handle we bought (also a Schlage) has screws above and below the inside handle, so the new latch mechanism is slightly different, meaning this replacement latch wouldn’t work to replace the new one. We are still keeping it because it still fits other locks around the house, though.

Wanted this to replace the latch on a 1950's vintage interior solid-core door and it was oversized 3 different ways, despite other replacement latches fitting as supplied.Problems encountered:#1 - the main shaft would not fit in the existing hole, hung up while inserting and could go no further than part way. WORKAROUND FIX: Had to chisel out and enlarge the hole (hope you have a narrow chisel)#2 - The ribbed collar at the latch end was MUCH bigger than the standard hole, could not force it nor could the hole be enlarged to fit without wrecking the integrity of the door - it would come too close to the edge. WORKAROUND FIX: multiple pliers and twist the collar off, remove and discard it.#3 - bronze square trim plate for the latch side has a 1/8" bend lip - so it will not sit flush with the edge of the door, and would prevent the door from closing, unless your prior latch had the same design. Would have needed to chisel out amore to make it fit. Plus the hole in the plate for the latch to come through is too big now that the collar was removed. WORKAROUND FIX: used a different plate.Why did I use it?Did not find out until too late to return. I actually had a different replacement latch that was working in the door, but I took that for a bedroom door that needed a replacement as well and got this one to do the closet.Was not happy in the install, but made it work. Would not buy it again.

Returned it. Not the right size.

Glad I could simply replace the latch, and re-use the knob and the original key

This door latch hardware was a perfect swap out replacement for a square spindle handle. It feels much more solid and secure than the original Pamex latch assembly. Lots of adjustment options. I'm ordering a couple more to have on hand when my other original ones will eventually wear out and fail.
