Finishes: SS Stainless Steel
Engineered to the highest standards, the Briton 5740.60.S.SS features a robust galvanised steel lock case with satin nickel plating for superior corrosion resistance, paired with a Grade 316 satin stainless steel square forend and matching strike plate. Its 60mm backset and 72mm centres align perfectly with BS 8300 guidelines, making it an excellent choice for accessible door installations in commercial, public, and residential buildings. One of the key benefits of this 60mm backset square forend latch is its quick-reversible latch bolt, which allows easy on-site handling without dismantling the lock case. The profiled latch and forend ensure positive location, quiet closing, and a positive follower angle that minimises lever droop over time. It is fully compatible with Briton lever furniture and bolt-through fixing holes to DIN 18251 for straightforward installation.
