New Adjustable Latch

Emtek is proud to introduce our new adjustable latch for all key-in-knob and key-in-lever products (including electronic leversets). The latch works perfectly for either 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" backsets. Change between the lengths by simply pulling out the plug, sliding the hub assembly, and reinserting the plug. It also has a shorter rotation, offering a more ergonomic movement.
 
Due to the shorter rotation of the latch, it cannot be retrofitted to older series of Emtek locks.  We will continue to offer our previous latch for replacements.
