Hello,
perhaps someone has already done this.
I would like to replace the standard door latch with one that has a small lever to set it to open/closed. This would allow the front door to be opened without a key by simply pushing it. I think you know what I mean. It should not be electrical, just operated by the lever.
Is this always possible? What should be considered?
I have a front door from Kebotherm and a continuous locking strip.
Maybe someone can share their experience.
Thanks! 🙂

At first glance, it seems quite simple. You most likely have a standard component behind the cover plate, as shown in my picture, just without the lever.
Measure the distances between the screws and compare them. Then just buy and replace the matching part. Of course, don’t forget to adjust (or replace) the cover plate so that the door latch is not obstructed.

Well, the split part is more or less irrelevant. The latch bolt function also works with continuous ones. But yes, you wouldn’t be able to reach the lever anymore. In fact, you’ll have difficulties installing the new part at all, because it requires a bit more space and the striker plate also needs to be able to move.
As you can see here, the faceplate on a latch bolt is usually not continuous.
