If your door has been pre-drilled for door hardware, you will need to take a look at what type of latch faceplates would work best for your particular application. You have three different latch face plate options:
*Helpful Hints:
- Round Corner - The corners of the faceplate are rounded (1/4" radius latch).
- Square Corner - The corners of the faceplate are square.
- Drive-In - The latch is designed to be used without a faceplate.

Helpful Hints:
Most pre-fabricated doors on newer constructed homes are pre-mortised for round corner latches. If you are unsure how your doors have been mortised, my recommendation is to select a round corner latch. A round corner latch will fit in a door application that has been mortised for either a round corner or square corner latch.
