The best door fittings, compared.
Top pick: MOXYOY 45 mm tubular latch Best value: MOXYOY 45 mm tubular latch – About £5.49 for two latches with plates and eight screws. Thirty-five reviews and a measured 43 mm against a stated 45 mm keep it under the Yale pack. Updated October 2026.
It is not a front-door lock, not a door bolt, and not a drill jig. You match it by measuring from the door edge to the spindle centre, then checking that backset against the case length, and by pairing it with sprung or unsprung handles on purpose. None of those listings shows BS 3621, BS EN 12209, or a fire rating. How to measure is in the [door fitting buying guide](/hub/door-and-window-security/door-fitting/sub/door-fitting-buying-guide). A door fitting is a tubular mortice latch for an ordinary UK internal door. A lever turns the follower, the bevelled bolt withdraws, and the door stays shut. A sashlock, which adds a deadbolt, a bathroom privacy set with a thumb-turn, and a BS 3621 deadlock are different products. A slide bolt belongs with door bolts, not here. A strike plate sold on its own was left out of this set. You choose by measurement, then by spring, then by what the door is.

Question 1 of 2
How many internal doors are you doing?
The MOXYOY pair, model G0174, is two polished tubular latches at £5.49, stated for sprung lever handles on internal doors and rated 4.5 from 35 reviews. The listing gives a 45 mm edge distance and 40 mm hole spacing, and the box line names two bodies, two metal mounting plates, and eight screws. Most of the short UK reviews praise a smooth fit on a bedroom or bathroom door. One verified review measured 43 mm, not the 45 mm on the listing or the stamp, so the handles would not line up and the buyer returned it. The page also claims an internal anti-pick design and attaches no standard number to that claim. First available on the listing is 14 November 2025, and the Latches & Bolts rank is 388. Thirty-five reviews is a thin record beside a four-figure count, so the extra half star does not settle which latch to trust.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Two internal doors if you have checked about 45 mm from the edge and the levers are already sprung.
Less suitable: A door you measured at 43 mm or shorter, unsprung handles, or any door that needs a key.
Specifications
Common questions
Will this fit a bedroom door?
The listing says it is for interior doors, including bathrooms, bedrooms, storage rooms, and attic doors, used with a sprung lever handle. It tells you to check the old latch against the stated 45 mm edge distance.
Does it include a strike plate?
The package line lists 2 tubular latch bodies, 2 metal mounting plates, and 8 screws. It uses the words mounting plates rather than strike plate.
Is the backset exactly 45 mm?
The listing states 45 mm and says the latch is stamped. One UK review measured 43 mm, so the handles did not line up, and the buyer returned it.
Across 1,134 amazon.co.uk reviews, the Yale PM888 three-pack replaces tubular latches on internal doors that do not need a key, at £5.99 for three polished chrome bodies ranked 5 in Latches & Bolts. The listing says locking is not required, names lever handles, and prints a two-year guarantee. Reviewers with matching holes describe a straightforward swap, though the spring is weak on solid unsprung handles and the faceplate can sit off centre. The included-components line names three latches and does not name screws; reviews mention strike plates, short screws, and one pack with none. The same page calls 64 mm the backset, while Yale's UK fitting sheet places the spindle 45 mm from the edge on a 64 mm latch. A separate attribute says Key Unlock, and the bullets do not describe a key or a cylinder. It is the pack for several ordinary internal doors of the same pattern.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Replacing several matching internal latches where the old holes already suit a 64 mm case and the handles are sprung levers.
Less suitable: Unsprung heavy levers, a fire door, or any door that must lock.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this Yale latch lock the door?
The listing says it is for internal doors where locking is not required, and the suggested use is lever handles. A separate attribute says Key Unlock, but the bullets do not describe a key or a cylinder.
What size does the listing state?
The listing says the mortice latch has a 2.5 inch / 64 mm backset, in polished chrome, model P-M888-BZ-64-3. It also says the latch suits left- and right-handed doors. Yale's UK fitting sheet puts the spindle 45 mm from the edge on a 64 mm latch.
Are strike plates and screws included?
The included-components line names three Yale PM888 latches. It does not name screws. Reviews mention strike plates, short screws, and one pack with no screws.
The Chliinl CHD-11-03D is a single stainless steel tubular latch at £5.29, stated with a 45 mm margin and 40 mm hole spacing, and rated 4.2 from 54 reviews. It is ranked 19 in Latches & Bolts, listed for left- or right-hand internal doors, and supplied with four screws at a listed weight of 80 g. One UK review used it on a bathroom door and said the size matched, and others call it quieter than a scratchy old latch. Faults in the review sample include a latch that fell apart, an order in which both did not work, a need for a shim, and a strike opening larger than the old plate. The title says internal door lock. The bullets describe a latch, and no key is listed. Those failure notes, on a smaller review count than the Yale pack, are why it is the single to try only after you have checked the margin.
Pros
Cons
Best for: One internal door when you have checked a 45 mm margin and a single latch is enough.
Less suitable: A front door, a fire door, or a household that needs a key rather than a latch.
Specifications
Common questions
Can this latch be used on an external door?
The title and the application line say internal doors. External use is not claimed in the bullets. No fire rating or British Standard is stated.
Does it come with a lock?
The listing is a tubular latch with 4 screws. No key is listed. The title uses the words internal door lock, and the bullets describe a latch for door handles.
What is it made of?
The listing says stainless steel, with a stated 45 mm margin and 40 mm hole spacing. Listed weight is 80 g.
Scores use the three amazon.co.uk listings in this set and the review notes already on those cards. There is no lab test. The UK review count does the separating: 35 reviews at 4.5 do not outrank 1,134 reviews at 4.4. A tubular latch here is scored as an internal latch with no key, not as a BS 3621 lock or as fire-door ironmongery. No listing states BS 3621, BS EN 12209, or a fire rating, so those shared absences do not separate the scores. The highest score is the top pick. The best price against a usable score for a clear job is the best value. The weights below sum to 100.
UK review count
35%The amazon.co.uk star line is read with the number of UK reviews behind it. A short, newer review file does not outrank a four-figure count at a slightly lower star.
Latch job, no key
20%Whether the listing is a tubular mortice latch for an ordinary internal door, with no key required. A title that says lock while the bullets describe a latch loses points.
Plates and screws
20%A named plate and a screw count raise the score. A components line that omits screws, when reviews mention short screws or none, lowers it.
Size wording and faults
25%Deductions for a size sentence that conflicts with the maker's fitting sheet, a measured backset short of the stated figure, a weak spring on solid handles, an anti-pick line with no standard, or a latch that reviews say fell apart.
Measure the old latch before you compare the price. Backset and case length decide whether it will meet the existing holes. The spring has to match the handles you already have. A star rating will not tell you the size, and none of these three listings is a lock.
A door fitting in this comparison is a tubular mortice latch for an ordinary UK internal door. A lever turns the follower, the bevelled bolt withdraws, and the door stays shut. There is no key. A sashlock, which adds a deadbolt, a bathroom privacy set with a thumb-turn, and a BS 3621 deadlock are different products. A slide bolt belongs with door bolts, not here. A strike plate sold on its own was left out of this set. You choose by measurement, then by spring, then by what the door is.
The Yale listing calls 64 mm the backset. Yale's fitting sheet puts the spindle 45 mm from the edge on a 64 mm latch. Drilling the case length as the backset misses the old holes.
A PM888-pattern latch is withdrawn by a sprung lever. Reviews on the Yale pack describe a weak spring with solid unsprung handles. Those handles need a heavy-sprung latch, which is not in this set.
None of these listings shows BS 3621, a BS EN 12209 classification, or a fire rating. A 2 mm short backset, a crushed case in a tight hole, and mixing 64 mm with 76 mm cases are the other misses.
Backset is the distance from the faceplate to the centre of the spindle. About 44–45 mm is the usual partner of a 64 mm case, which UK catalogues also call 2½ inch. About 56–57 mm is the usual partner of a 76 mm case, also called 3 inch. Copy the old latch if you can take it out. Do not mix the two case lengths on the same holes. The Yale listing prints "2.5 Inch/64mm backset".
These latches do not lock. The Yale listing says locking is not required. The Chliinl title says internal door lock, and the bullets describe a latch with no key. A bathroom privacy set, a sashlock, and a BS 3621 deadlock are different products. The spring has to match the furniture. Wickes says a Yale PM888-pattern latch is for sprung levers, not unsprung ones. MOXYOY's title says sprung lever handles. Yale reviews mention a weak spring on solid unsprung handles.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are replacing more than one ordinary internal latch and every door is the same 64 mm pattern, with sprung levers. The Yale PM888 three-pack is the top pick at about £5.99, with 4.4 from 1,134 reviews. The listing does not name screws, and the 64 mm wording is not the backset on Yale's fitting sheet.
You have checked about 45 mm from the edge on two internal doors and the levers are already sprung. The MOXYOY pair is the best value at about £5.49, with two mounting plates and eight screws named. Thirty-five reviews, and one measured 43 mm, keep it under the Yale pack.
You need a single latch for one internal door and you have checked a 45 mm margin. The Chliinl CHD-11-03D is about £5.29, with 4.2 from 54 reviews and four screws listed. The title says lock. The bullets describe a latch, and reviews include one that fell apart.
The Yale PM888 three-pack is the top pick. It scores 88, the highest in this set, at about £5.99, with 4.4 from 1,134 reviews and rank 5 in Latches & Bolts. The 64 mm wording, the weak spring on solid handles, and unnamed screws are already in that score. The MOXYOY pair is the best value at about £5.49 for two latches with plates and eight screws. Thirty-five reviews and a measured 43 mm against a stated 45 mm keep it under the Yale pack. The Chliinl single stays third: reviews include a latch that fell apart, a buyer who needed a shim, and a title that says lock while the bullets describe a latch. None of these is a BS 3621 lock or fire-door ironmongery.
