Best tubular latch UK: three listings for three jobs

Updated: October 2026

You want one latch named, and the basket is full of chrome tubes that look the same. The best tubular latch UK shoppers can pick from this shelf is the one whose stated size matches the holes you have measured, with a review record large enough to read. A badge on a comparison is not a lab prize. This page says who each listing is for, and who should buy none of them. Live prices sit on the [door fitting comparison](/hub/door-and-window-security/door-fitting). Peter F. used the kept listings and UK fitting notes, updated in October 2026. There was no lab test. A qualifying purchase through an amazon.co.uk link can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Best for several internal doors

The Yale PM888 is the pack to open when more than one ordinary internal door already uses the same pattern. It is polished chrome, about £5.99 for three, 4.4 from 1,134 reviews. The listing says locking is not required. That is why it is the top pick: the review count is an order of magnitude larger than the other two. The listing calls 2.5 inch / 64 mm the backset. Yale's UK fitting sheet places the spindle 45 mm from the edge on a 64 mm latch. The spring is weak on solid unsprung handles. The included-components line names three latches and does not name screws. If every door is a different backset, the three-pack is the wrong economy. Why 64 mm is usually the case is on the 64 mm or 76 mm door latch page.

Best when you measured about 45 mm

When the tape from the door edge to the handle centre is about 45 mm, MOXYOY is two polished latches at about £5.49, 4.5 from 35 reviews. The listing states a 45 mm edge distance, names sprung lever handles, and lists two mounting plates and eight screws. That hardware is why it is the best value for two internal doors. One verified UK review measured 43 mm, so the handles would not line up. The anti-pick line has no standard attached. Chliinl is the single when one door is all you have: stainless steel, about £5.29, 4.2 from 54 reviews, rank 19, a stated 45 mm margin, and four screws. One UK review used it on a bathroom door and said the size matched. Other reviews include a latch that fell apart and a strike opening larger than the old plate. The title says internal door lock. The bullets describe a latch. Neither listing states a case length, so compare the body with the old latch. How to measure is the tubular mortice latch buying guide.

Skip all three

None of these listings is the answer when the door has to lock, resist fire, or carry heavy unsprung levers. The Guild of Architectural Ironmongers puts a tubular latch on internal non-locking doors. BS 3621 is the thief-resistant lock standard many home insurers name. These three pages do not show BS 3621, BS EN 12209, or a fire rating. The MOXYOY anti-pick line does not fill that gap. Approved Document B treats a fire doorset as the door, the frame, and the ironmongery. If you can see a closer, intumescent strips, or a fire-door sign, do not swap in a latch because the colour matches. None of these listings claims FD30 or FD60. What an ordinary bedroom is allowed to use is on the internal door latch page.

Which pack to open

Prices here are the amazon.co.uk extracts used for the comparison. They move, and a trade counter can be cheaper for a single non-fire-rated latch that is not one of these ASINs. If the door is ordinary and the tape matches, open the listing whose pack size you will actually fit.

Common questions

Is the Yale pack the one to buy for every door?
No. It suits several internal doors that already share a 64 mm pattern and sprung levers, at about £5.99 for three. If one door measures about 57 mm to the handle, that door wants the longer case, and the spare latches in the pack will not convert it. The listing also says locking is not required.
Is the higher star rating on MOXYOY enough?
It is not enough on its own. MOXYOY is 4.5 from 35 reviews, first available on 14 November 2025, against Yale at 4.4 from 1,134. The pair is worth opening when you have checked about 45 mm and you want two latches with plates and eight screws at about £5.49. One review measured 43 mm, so check the latch in your hand.
When is the single Chliinl latch enough?
It is enough for one internal door whose edge-to-handle measurement matches the stated 45 mm margin, at about £5.29 with four screws. A bathroom review said the size matched. Skip it if you need three doors, a key, or a strike that must match a smaller old opening. Reviews include a latch that fell apart and one that needed a shim.
Who should not buy any of the three?
Skip all three for a fire door, a flat entrance, a door that must meet BS 3621, and heavy unsprung levers. None of the listings states a fire rating or that lock standard. A closer, intumescent strips, or a fire-door sign is the point where you stop and use the ironmongery on the door's evidence.
Are the screws in the box?
MOXYOY lists eight screws and two mounting plates. Chliinl lists four screws and does not name a plate. Yale's included-components line names three latches and does not name screws, and reviews mention short screws or a pack with none. Open the bag before you start, and keep the old screws until you know the new ones reach.
