The stainless steel privacy latch is the same paddle-style mortise latch as the Goldberg Brothers powder-coated version — same mechanism, same mortise dimensions, same installation process — with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel core. The right choice for bathrooms with ongoing steam exposure, coastal properties, or any installation where a powder-coated steel latch would corrode over time. It pairs naturally with Goldberg Brothers stainless steel hardware kits.
The paddle sits flush in a routed recess and rotates out to catch a strike plate when the door is closed. Available in raw stainless, matte black, and black — matte black and black are powder coated over the stainless core, so all three carry the same corrosion resistance and let you match the latch to dark hardware in a room where a powder-coated steel latch would not last.
The mortise router template (sold separately) covers this latch — see our router template. For the powder-coated version in all 17 Goldberg Brothers finishes, see the standard privacy latch. Made to order in Colorado. Ships in 14–21 business days.
