Latches, bolts, and catches are the non-locking fasteners that keep doors securely closed without a key. With 55 products in our range, McMahons stocks one of the most comprehensive selections of door fastening hardware available from an Irish builders merchant, covering tubular latches, barrel bolts, tower bolts, flush bolts, magnetic catches, and ball catches.
Our Latches, Bolts & Catches Range
- Tubular latches - spring-loaded latches that fit into a drilled hole in the door stile and engage with a striker plate on the frame, operated by a lever handle. Available in multiple backset sizes in finishes including chrome, brass, and satin nickel.
- Mortice latches - a more substantial mortice-fit latch for heavier doors and more demanding applications, providing greater strength and longevity than a tubular latch in high-traffic internal door situations.
- Barrel bolts and tower bolts - sliding bolt mechanisms in chrome, brass, and galvanised finishes for manually securing gates, external doors, bathroom doors, and storage enclosures.
- Flush bolts - concealed bolt mechanisms that fit into a morticed recess in the door edge, providing a bolt for the inactive leaf of a double door while remaining invisible when the door is closed.
- Magnetic catches - cabinet and door catches that use magnetic attraction to hold a door closed without a latch mechanism, suitable for lightweight internal doors and storage furniture.
- Ball catches and roller catches - spring-loaded mechanisms that provide a light holding force for cupboard doors and lightweight internal doors where a definite click is preferred over a magnetic hold.
Pair your latches with compatible Door Handles and Hinges from our range, or browse our Locks section for key-operated security options.
When selecting a tubular latch, always measure the door stile width and confirm the required backset before ordering - the most common residential backsets are 57mm and 44mm.
