hi, recently had a new bathroom fitted and had all the walls tiles. Now, as you close the door, the latch scratches the tiles. I have taken the lock out for now but need a solution as the door swings open, not ideal when on the loo! Any thoughts on best solution?

Handle with an integrated lock or a traditional bolt with the socket rebated into the door frame.

No architrave?

Flip the door round? Or set the latch further back into the door frame?

This surely. Never a problem I've come across.

A door stop/door buffer might help? Billions of types from a bits of rubber stuck to the tiles, floor fixed, door fixed.
