Night Latches

Night Latches:

Night Latches are used in conjunction with the locking rim cylinder. The rim cylinder is operated from the front of the door and turns the night latch which is fitted to the inside of the door. They are usually used on front doors in conjunction with mortice sashlocks or dead locks. Most night latches are available with a 40mm ( Narrow ) and 60mm ( Standard ) and are available as a standard security lock and a BS 3621 : 2004 kite marked lock.

BS 3621:2004 locks are Insurance Approved to comply with your home and business insurance regulations.

How to Measure the door for a Night-latch

Please note if replacing an existing night-latch the measurement 'A' is either 40mm or 60mm - this is the measurement from the edge of the door to the centre of the hole (where the rim cylinder goes in). Measurement 'A' is more commonly known as the backset.

You therefore can choose any of the following night latches if you are fitting a nightlatch from 'fresh'. If replacing the night latch ensure that you choose either a 40mm or 60mm backset nightlatch.
