SCHLAGE LOCK CO 40-250 605 TRIPLE OPTION Triple Option Spring Interior Latch

Great product.Worked perfectly

The hardware fit perfectly with my door, and it was a good replacement.

The latch mechanism on my Schlage lock malfunctioned and I bought this replacement part that worked beautifully. It was reasonably priced, and it saved me from having to replace the whole door lock mechanism that would have cost a lot more to replace. Highly recommended if your door latch fails. They don't seem to be easily serviceable when they do.

Always cheaper than buying a new lock and dealing with matching keys a replacement latch can come in handy. These combination kits handle the two modern common backsets; 2 3/8 and 2 3/4 inch automatically. No parts to fiddle with. It will work if your door has an edge mortise (cavity) with square, rounded edges as well as if your door only has a one inch hole. This model number is for interior doors only! This image is actually a #40-251 used for exteriors doors for more security from forced entry. The finished plate easily pries off to adapt the latch for your door configuration. Examine the original latch and configure the new latch to look like it. If it is the type that goes in the one inch hole use a block of wood to protect it as you hammer it flush. More than one person has driven the latch home to find they have it in 180 degrees wrong and will bounce off the strike instead of wedging shut as it should so take a close look before you pick up the hammer. I wouldn't know any of these folks, ahmm. The plate type should be installed first and screws replaced. Holes stripped out? A piece of 1/8 inch dowel or similar driven in first can really help secure the latch. Ensure that it ends up even with the door edge then reassemble the rest of the lock and tighten the screws snugly. There is not much to it really. If it does not fix your problem insure your door is not sagging from a hinge issue and that the strike plate is correctly aligned and securely installed. Schlage makes a good quality economical product in this line and this latch is no different. It is a well designed solution for anyone that is handy and should provide years of service when properly installed. When I replaced my locks I went with this series and have installed these professionally for several decades. They get my vote.

This was a good solution for me. My front door latch is made by Schlage and the internals broke making it impossible to open the door. Rather than go out and replace a $150 door set, I opted to try to replace the internals first. I was happy to find this kit on Amazon and it arrived one day after I ordered it, so the problem was literally fixed in 24 hours. The only problem I had with this is the set on the door is brushed nickel. I thought this would be silver in color but it came in gold. While disappointed, it was hardly worth sending back. I could still use the original faceplate so no gold really shows. None than anyone would ever look at anyway. Bottom line the fix was only 12 bucks and worked perfectly. I'm overall very pleased.

Worked without any issues

Took less than 5 minute to install and works perfectly.

I really struggled with the title of this product that indicates there are "3 each". To me that means there are three latches in one package. I needed three but the picture only showed one so I hesitated for a long time to order the product. The web site also said I could order a maximum of two. I finally ordered one package and only received one latch. I was then able to determine the "3 each" meant there were three different faceplates in the package. The product works great and I would have given 5 stars if the advertisement was accurate.
